A/N: Hello again my peoples! Here's chap 9! WOOOOT!!!


Chapter 9: UFO = Unidentified Falling Object

Ben's POV…

'I have a need for speed.' I thought as walked through the gardens. It had been a few weeks, and there had been no Yeerk activity so far. It made me antsy, just waiting for them to make a move. The waiting is driving me crazy!

I know my new friends wouldn't agree with me, but I'm going to take action. So here I am, at the Gardens again, looking at wolves. I found what I was looking for, hyenas and maned wolves.

On tall spindly legs, thin body with the sharp canines I need. Perfect for speedy attacks, and getaways. Just what I need so all I have to figure out is how to acquire the morph. Hmmm, I wonder if I can swipe some animal tranquilizers from somewhere?

Hyenas, well I just like their bone crushing jaws…

I went to Cassie's house, in bird morph. I gotta go through with this before I lose the nerve, I really shouldn't steal, it's just one little tranquilizer dart and something to shoot it with, then I just have to return the tranquilizer gun and no-one will be the wiser.

I had acquired a cat morph from a stray cat stuck in some wires earlier today for just this purpose.

Being a cat was amazing, colors and shape really didn't interest the cat so much. It was the scents and movements that really got your attention when I was a cat. I was in a shed where Cassie's parents kept most of their veterinary equipment.

Then there in all its glory, was the tranq-gun. Using my amazing cat skills, I clawed my way up the shelf and grabbed one end with my teeth and dragged it out the door with me… No one was watching, thank goodness…

Soon, off the side of the road, hidden by the bushes and trees, I demorphed. I had hidden my bike in some bushes nearby, I put the tranquilizer gun in the basket and pedaled home with my heart racing.

'Well, I'm on my way.'

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That night at the Gardens…

It was black as pitch, and the Gardens were closed, so I just morphed into a Stray and scaled the wall. Well, I tried to, but with the tranquilizer gun it was a huge flop. So I ended up sneaking through the gate while dragging the tranquilizer gun behind me with my small feline teeth.

I had taken to naming my morphs, like my Aplamado Falcon morph, I named him Talon. Stray, was a black tom cat with a single white paw and yellow eyes. I haven't named the lion yet, but I might if I feel like it…

"There you are my pretty," I whispered to myself as I climbed over the wall and into the exhibit pit for the maned wolves. I cocked the traquilizer gun and aimed at the largest hyena in the exhibit, it was male, I hoped. I really don't want the confusion of a gender change right now, it reminded me of those confusing Japanese anime where the boy turned into a girl because of a wizard, but it turns out in the end that the boy really was a girl and the wizard just turned her back to her original gender, she just didn't know it… Or was it the other way around? Gah, it was so confusing to watch, people may have thought I was a moron when I was younger but I was far from it.

I usually rushed into things, leap before you look. It got me the reputation of being a moron, even though I wasn't.

I pulled the trigger and the wolf, which was already half-asleep, was out like a light. I crept forward and placed my hand on its right flank and concentrated I felt the wolf relax even more in its sleep. I smiled, then I climbed the tree adjacent to the exhibit wall to get out.

I repeated the process with the hyena exhibit, except I took the back door to get out.

I looked at the huge clock on the wall of one of the podiums, or whatever the gate in front was called…

It read, 1 A.M.

My adopted parents in this universe, they both ran their own individual businesses and were usually away on some cruise or some business trip far, far away. So that left be alone in the house to do whatever I wanted to do. So I could stay out late and there would be no-one to ground me, hah, this universe gets better and better…

I morphed into Stray again, and went out the same way I went in, dragging the tranq-gun with me. It is heavy?

((Why cruel world, why?!)) I would've looked up at the sky while I thought-spoke this, but I was currently pre-occupied with dragging a very heavy something with my small feline body…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Two Hours later, 3 A.M.

Okay, I had already put back the tranquilizer gun back in the shed at the reserve where Cassie lived. It was pretty difficult, I had to watch out and make sure Tobias didn't hear me and that Ax didn't see me. But for once I had gotten off scott-free!

"Now, what to do next?" I thought out loud as I surfed the internet on the computer in my room. I looked at different websites about aliens. Hah, maybe I'll find a website about Yeerks somewhere!

I looked at the clock on the wall, 3:35 A.M. I still couldn't sleep. It stems from the short amount of time that I was on the run from intergalactic law. I couldn't sleep, there wasn't time, any time I could be tracked down and caught. Yeah, a ten year old kid on the run from the law, not as unbelievable as some people can make it sound.

I went down to the kitchen and warmed up some leftover Chinese food in the microwave. Well I could go out now, maybe test my new morphs and possibly scout for some possible Yeerk activity.

I had already made myself a mug of hot cocoa, I remember when I was little and Grandpa came over for Christmas. It was the one normal thing he made that I found edible, then he'd tell me stories and I would interrupt and Gwen would tell me to stop being a dweeb and to let Grandpa finish-

'GAH! You're getting off topic Tennyson!' I raked a hand through unruly brown hair and took a sip of my cocoa. I ate my Chinese food, which was chicken fried rice and lo-mein noodles by the way then I stripped back down into my morphing outfit.

Which happened to be a skin-tight black t-shirt, and a pair of beige bike shorts. Yeah, so far I had already come up with names for my new morphs.

The maned wolf's name was Scout, I planned on using him for his namesake like Talon, except on the ground.

The hyena, I decided to call him Jack. I don't know why I wanted to name him that but I just did, I'm tempted to name the lion Leo, but it's too overused. I don't feel like naming the lion at all so I won't…

BOOM!

I jerked and fell out of my chair onto the kitchen floor. I hadn't noticed that it had begun to rain, I'm so glad that I had gotten home before getting soaked.

CRACK!

The thunder cracked again, louder than before, I could see then trees outside sway with the harsh wind and rain. The rain was basically coming down like bullets on the kitchen window, I just sat there and watched while I sipped at my hot chocolatey drink, then before I knew it, it was all gone.

I looked at the clock again, it read 3:45 A.M. "Oh well, time for bed I guess…" I yawned, then I saw something out of my window. A brilliant flash of light, from very far away. "Just lightning, I think the lack of sleep is getting to me…" And with that I went upstairs to my room and collapsed into bed.

But I couldn't sleep, I tossed and I turned and tried to get comfortable, but no matter what I couldn't get to sleep.

I sat up, and looked at the clock, 4 A.M.

I sighed dejectedly. "Fine, stupid curiosity wins, I grabbed a small water-proof backpack from my closet and began to pack it with some bare essentials. Tomorrow was a Friday, but I have an almost clean school record, so I can afford to skip…

I dug out a change of clothes and a pair of sneakers from my closet and stuffed it into the bag. Then I dug around in a box full of assorted chips and cookies. You know those value packs they sell that give you assorted snacks in different flavors? Well, since my adopted parents are hardly ever home, I usually do all the grocery shopping. I pulled out three small bags of Cheetohs and one of Doritos and threw them into my backpack. I grabbed two bottled waters from the fridge, then my wallet, cell phone from the Dark Ages, and Swiss army knife from my desk, okay I don't have that much money left between groceries and that video game that I just had to buy, I had about thirty two bucks, sadly that really won't get a person that far nowadays with prices for everything going up…

I was still in my morphing suit and I put on a rain-trench coat and pulled on an old pair of black rain boots that Jackson never used. I always refer to my adopted parents by their first names, well not to their faces of course, but I think it had something to do with my biological mother from my old dimension always telling me to refer to her and Dad by their first names.

On impulse I saw a small dark blue bag sitting on the counter. My first aid kit, back when I was running from the Intergalactic police I would've given an arm and a leg for a bag like the one I've put together.

I didn't like the store bought ready-made ones because they leave a lot to be desired in my opinion.

The one I had been putting together contained and is not limited to: tweezers, small scissors, a thermometer, fishing line, a few sewing needles (from the sewing kit my adopted mother, Janice never used), gauze pads, few rolls of bandages, insect repellant, matches, an ice bag, sun block, rubbing alcohol, salt, hell I even threw in alcohol swabs too. I'm sure there are a few 'm forgetting but that's not important.

I can't find my survival hatchet, so I don't think I'll need it.

I have no hiking gear, so I'm going to have improvise. "Oh the things I do to satisfy my stupid curiosity…" I muttered under my breath as I found some rope in the garage, from that camping trip Jackson never went on. I stuffed that into my backpack along with my first aid kit, I pulled the hood of my raincoat over my head and slung on my backpack.

Then I grabbed my flashlight, and walked out the door and I locked it behind me, the jingle of the keys was swallowed up by the roar of the rain that seemed to pour down relentlessly down from the heavens.

And with that I headed to where I saw the flash, towards the woods and into the mountains…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have been wandering around in the woods for at least an hour, the rest of the time was spent walking to the woods. I hadn't seen a single car since I went outside, the rain hadn't lessened one bit. In fact, I think that it was raining harder than ever since I got out here. Which contributes to my currently pissed off mood.

"Okay, I'm totally soaked and so far there's nothing out here! WHAT THE HECK?!" I yelled to the pouring rain, my watch read 5:30 A.M. and I still haven't found anything. Okay, I'm also annoyed as a cat on bath day…

Then I tripped and fell into the mud, face first.

"OW!" I said as I rubbed my head, "What the hell?!" I spat out the mud in my mouth and fumbled around for my flashlight, which I dropped when I fell.

"Wait a sec." Yeah! Jackpot! My fingertips brushed against the handle of my flashlight, I grabbed it and yanked it out of the mud. It flickered on and the light was, sort of visible…

"Whoa," I breathed, I was standing in a ditch, about four feet deep, and sinking into the mud, CRAP! I hauled myself out of the ditch and looked at it. It was barely visible with my flashlight because of the downpour. "Well let's see where the yellow brick road leads." I said, but my words were swallowed up by a clap of harsh thunder.

I followed the gouge in the earth until my flashlight illuminated something shiny.

'A sheet of metal!' It was about four inches thick and sort of triangle shaped, it was about as big as my head, it was also dented and twisted into an odd shape.

I moved by it, finding more pieces of metal and wires littered along the sides of the ditch. 'Wires? This is starting to look like a, a crash site…' I felt a surge of curiosity through me, I walked forward and saw, a small metal structure about a few feet tall than I am half sunken into the mud.

I had never actually been on an Animorphs 'mission' yet, but it didn't seem like one of those bug fighter things they talked about. It was like a small cylinder-shaped pod, the wings were like stubs because I could see where the crash had ripped them off. The main part of the pod, was dented and the wires were all sticking out so were the motherboards. I shined my flashlight on the pod, I saw more dents and tears and gouges in the pods' hull. The door was collapsed inwardly, I felt a stab of apprehension as I peered inside…

"RAAAAAUGHR!"

And I was met a full set of sharp teeth, right in my face.


A/N: Hello peoples! Yes I updated again! Yep I know evil cliffie! Everyone loves to write these, come on you all know you do. I'm not getting a lot of reviews, people. This is the ONLY Ben 10/Animophs crossover out there that I know of. It's probably the ONLY one out there so far. REVIEW ALREADY! Sorry if I sound pushy, but the lack of REVIEWS annoys me. Yes Ben is OOC, being betrayed by the world you once protected will do that to a person. He can be basically viewed as an OC if you people want, but whatever. Anyways, I finally found where I want this to take place within the book series, from this point on this is just before Book #5, 'the Predator' starts. Yes this ENTIRE story starts between book 4 & 5. PLZ REVIEW!!!!! PLZ!!! PLZ!!! PLZ!!! WHY ON EARTH DO I HAVE TO BEG?!?! PLZ REVIEW!!!

NOTE(MUST READ ALL OF THIS!!!): Oh yeah in a previous chapter, a teacher introduced Ben, as Benjamin Tennyson. Well I'm writing that he was adopted in this dimension. Sorry for the typo, you'll figure out his adopted name later.

Also all the Ben 10 aliens that Ben had turned into that the Animorphs encountered, well, the Ellimist made Ben's universe transfer very subtle so that Ben wouldn't notice. Therefore when the Ellimist "TALKED" to Ben in chapter 6 of this fanfic, the transfer was complete. And all the memories(and the fact that they happened) and incidents where the Animorphs encountered Ben in alien form, WERE TOTALLY ERASED FROM EXISTENCE! ANYTHING THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE OMNITRIX IN THE ANIMORPHS-VERSE HAS BEEN TOTALLY ERASED!!!!

Ben's Morphs & their Names:

Hyena – Jack (a play on Jack the Ripper)

Lion – no name as of yet

Maned Wolf – Scout (if you want to know what they look like there's a picture of one on Wikipedia)

Aplamado Falcon – Talon
