Here you go, new chapter and man Christmas was so awesome! I got so much presents that I can barely fitted all on my room and don't even get me started on new years, because it was so crazy! Oh and also I would like to say that after the battle with Vulkanus, Kevin fixed up The RV so that Ben wont bitch at him again and also for that Vanesa has a place to sleep in, sorry for not saying it earlier in the last chapter I forgot. Anyway I don't own anything, except my OC's.

NOW LETS GET ON WITH THE STORY!

The story starts with Vanessa muttering curses under her breath as she and the others followed Michael down the hallway of his mansion as he gave them a grand tour of his house. She REALLY didn't wanted to go since she had been feeling weird vibes from this guy since the moment she met him, but Ben and Gwen really wanted to see this guy again, so she tagged along just in case this guy turns out to be a devil in disguise and tries to hurt her Ben…I mean her team.

Micahel: "Mom and her new husband lives in the main house, so they leave me alone and let me do whatever I want to do"

Ben: "Cool" He said as Michael lead them over to the doors and opened them.

Michael: "After you" He said to the group, mostly to Gwen as she gives Kevin a look that said "Why don't you ever hold the door for me?" but he ignores her as she and Ben walked into the room, while he and Vanessa…received two fresh bruises on their foreheads as Michael purposely shut the doors on them.

Kevin: "Nice."

Vanessa: "Like I said on the last chapter, I REALLY hate this guy" she said while breaking the fourth wall as the gang walked around the room and saw multiple giant computers with typical lab gear that you see on movies.

Ben: "What is all this stuff?"

Michael: "Just some of my dad's old plumber gear, I brought it over from his headquarters" He said, before leaning over to Gwen as he gave her a seductive look. "I can take you their later, if you want?"

Ben: "We all like to see it" He said, Oblivious to the boy's flirting as Vanessa shook her head disappointingly at her crush's cluelessness.

Michael: "Here, let me show you something" He said while grabbing Gwen's arm, causing Kevin to glare venomously at the blond hero as he pulled the blushing anodite over to a giant computer that showed the map of the earth and multiple charts. "I patched in to the central plumbers monitoring network, its connected to everything! Global, interplanetary internet, earthbound law enforcement frequency and of course the badge communicator channel"

Kevin: "Communicator channel?"

Michael: "Yeah…you did know that the badges were communicators, didn't you?"

Kevin: "…"

Gwen: "So, you kept an eye on things with this stuff and you use your powers to help people? Your like your neighborhoods very own superhero!"

Michael: "Never thought of it that way, but I guess so"

Ben: "You know what I'm thinking?"

Vanessa: "That we should get the hell out of here and order some pizza?" She asked hopefully as Ben gave her a scowling look, before walking over to Michael as he gave him a determined look.

Ben: "You should join our team" He suggested as Michael smiled at him and was about to say something, when suddenly Vanessa rushes over to Ben and grabbed him by the shoulders as she lead him away from the group.

Vanessa: "Wait, Wait, Wait, back the fuck up! Please tell me that you are not just gonna let a complete stranger that you have just met a few hours ago, join our team?!"

Ben: "But, what about you? You're a complete stranger and I let you join my team, heck I even let you live on my grandfather's RV for Christ's sake!

Vanessa: "Um, well…that's different!"

Ben: "How?"

Vanessa: "Well, um…at least I told you my backstory! Shouldn't you at least get to know the guy a little bit more, before you suddenly take him!"

Ben: "What's to know? He got the powers, he got the gear"

Vanessa: "So?! You don't even know if this guy is really who he says he is! What if he turns out to be an energy sucking vampire that preys on the weak!?"

Ben: "That is a risk that I am willing to take, Grandpa said that I need to assemble a team and that is exactly what I am going to do. Look I understand that you don't like the guy and I'm not forcing you to be friends with him, but cant you at least act civil around him and trust my judgment"

Vanessa: "(Sighs heavily) I do trust you Ben, its just him that I don't trust...But you are the leader of this team and my friend, so for you I…will…try to be nice to him…even if it kills me to do so"

Ben: "Thank you, Vanessa" He said while smiling to her, before turning over to the golden hero as he gave him a serious look and walked towards him. "My Grandpa Max was a plumber and he disappeared looking into this big alien conspiracy that is going on against earth, we are trying to find him so we can help him stop it, wanna help?" He asked as Michael looks over to Gwen, who gave him an encouraging smile as he looks back over to Ben and gave him a smirk.

Michael: "I will love to" He said as the lights of his mansion suddenly went on and off as Kevin looks over at their new member and gave him a flat look.

Kevin: "Forgot to pay your electric bill?"

Michael: "The electricity has been undependable lately, but don't worry. My backup generator will kick in" He said as Ben walked over to the computer and looked at it suspiciously.

Ben: "This isn't a brownout, look at this spike in power at the local power substation, the energy drain is enormous!"

Michael: "Really?"

Ben: "Earlier you said that something strange was happening on town, well this defiantly qualifies"

Gwen: "If you need to check it out, will help"

Michael: "Thanks, we should" He said as he and the others walked out of the room, not knowing that Gwen stood back a little bit as she noticed a weird symbol resting on her arm like a tattoo.

{Time Skip}

The story then skipped as we see the gang walking over to the gates of the local power substation as Ben bends down and saw that the locks have been broken.

Ben: "Stay sharp, we got company" He said as his team nodded and walked through the steel gates as they walked across the empty substation and started hearing weird buzzing noises all around them.

Michael: "Sounds like that buzzing sounds that you hear on old monster movies"

Kevin: "Anytime you hear a sound and your only reference is monster movies, its a good idea to walk the other way"

Ben: "Good rule of thumb"

He said as they continued walking for a few more minutes, before stopping as they saw a girl with grey skin and black hair absorbing the energy between two conductors as electricity coursed through her decaying body. Michael took a protective stance in front of Gwen as Zombie Girl roared at them and ran over to a small conductor as she easily ripped it up from the ground and threw it at them at high speeds, Gwen quickly made a shield around her friends and allowed the small conductor to bounce off her shield as more and more zombie-like girls started appearing out of nowhere as they growled/hissed at them.

Vanessa: "Wow, I didn't know that it was Halloween already? I could have brought my Halloween basket"

Michael: "These girls are wearing uniforms from my school, but I don't recognize any of them" He said as one of the zombie girls grabbed a metal pole and literally ripped it up from the ground as she then hold it like it was a metal bat. Michael quickly brought out his hands and shot an energy blast in front them, causing them to fly off their feet as Ben looked over at his new teammate with an impressed look on his face.

Ben: "Nice!"

Michael: "Try not to hurt them! Maybe we can reverse this-whatever it is!" He said as the zombie girls recovered from the sudden blast and charge at them as the zombie girl from before swung the metal pole over at Kevin, who narrowly dodge the deadly swing as he took a few steps back away from the half-dead chick.

Kevin: "TRY NOT TO HURT THEM!? He asked/screamed as the zombie girl kept swinging her weapon at him, almost hitting him a couple of times as she growled at him threateningly.

Vanessa: "KEVIN, CATCH!"

She screamed as she tossed him one of her dual swords, causing Kevin to smirk as he grabbed the sharp weapon and absorbed its metal as the girl once again took a swing at him, only to get a metal punch to her face as she fell down on the ground and went unconscious. With Ben we see him being forcefully pushed back to a fuse box as Ben kicks the zombie-looking girl away, but the kick didn't even faze her as she lets out a loud scream and runs over to punch the young omnitrix wielder, who quickly moved out of the way as she missed and punches thru the fuse box. The Zombie Girl didn't even flinch as she grunted and ripped out the door from the fuse box as she grabs a couple of wires and yanks it out, Ben lets out a curse as he brought out his omnitrix and quickly slams it down, causing a green glow to appear and once it dismissed we see him transforming himself into Chromastone.

Ben: "Chromastone!" He screamed as zombie girls runs over to him and tries to electrocute him with the cables, but Ben didn't even blinked as he raises his head and gives her a flat look. "That is not going to work, I'm a conductor!"

He screamed as he absorbed the energy from the cable and shot it back at her, causing her to let out a painful scream as she flew off into the air and landed harshly on the ground as she slowly went unconscious. After taking out the deceased looking girl, Ben looks over his left and saw Vanessa running from two Zombie girls as she runs up a wall and back-flipped away and took out her Zennatrix as she then planted it firmly on her chest, causing a big flash of purple to appear and once it dismiss we see an Arachnichimp-like alien landing behind the two zombie-like girls as she gives them a cocky smirk and makes monkey-like sounds. The Arachnichimp like alien looks exactly like Spidermonkey, except that she had light red fur over a dark red center, curly red hair that reaches down to her neck, a tail with two black stripes near the tip, a blue snapback hat that she wears backwards and has the symbol of dual swords on the front, two pairs of black sunglasses that she wears over her pink eyes and a large scar that only crosses two of her four eyes, she also has four arms that has three fingers each, two extra pair of legs that has two toes on each foot and finally has The Zennatrix Symbol planted safely on her chest.

Arachnichimp: "Webtail!" She screamed as she raises all of her arms and shot four individual webs that landed on the girls arms and before they can react, Vanessa crosses her arms and caused them to crash against each other as she jumps up and webbed them down thanks to her tail.

Chromastone: "Nice work!"

Webtail: "Thanks!"

She said, while blushing madly as she started jumping around and making loud monkey noises. Meanwhile with Michael we see him trying to shoot two more zombie girls, but they were quick on their feet as they easily dodge his blasts and tried to run away through the entrance, only to get stopped by Gwen as she raises her arms and trapped them with her anodite powers, but then something felt off as her usual pink mana suddenly turned black and crumpled to pieces. The two Zombie girls fell down to the ground as Gwen gasps and nearly falls down, but luckily Michael saw this and quickly came to her rescue as he grabbed her by the waist, Gwen looks up to him with a blushing/grateful look on her face as he helped her up to her feet and gave her a worried look.

Michael: "Are you okay?"

Gwen: "I-I don't know, I suddenly felt weak for a second" She said before looking up to her savior as she gave him a small smile. "But I do know" She said as Michael smiled at her and glowed with a golden aura as he grabbed her hand and squeezed it reassuringly.

Michael: "Here, hold my hand. Use my energy" He said as Gwen, who now looked back to her normal self, glowed with a magical aura as they both looked over to the zombie girls and saw them standing up as they hissed at them angrily, but they didn't back down as Gwen shot at them with mana disks and easily took them down. Michael held his glowing hand over to the injured girls and grinned as he suddenly raised up his hand and shot the pipes above them, causing it to fell down in between them as the girls look at the fallen pipes confused, before running away as Kevin walked over to the glowing couple and gives Michael a very pissed-off look.

Kevin: "AW, NICE GOING! YOU LET THEM GET AWAY!"

Michael: "Sorry." He said with a shrug as Ben and Vanessa walks over to the group and transforms themselves back to normal.

Ben: "Its okay, we all make mistakes. The Important thing is we stopped them from...whatever is they were doing, will get better as we work together more" He said as Michael looks over to Gwen, who was looking at him with a lovesick look.

Michael: "We do make a good team"

Gwen: "Uh-uh" she said as Vanessa walks over to her distracted friend and pokes her on the shoulder curiosly.

Vanessa: "So, what happened to you back there? A few minutes ago you look like you were going to faint and what was the deal with your mana suddenly going black?"

Gwen: "I...don't know, it was probably just a fluke" She said, before looking over to the energy-based hero as she gave him a wide smile. "I cant thank you enough for helping me"

Michael: "You could, if you have dinner with me"

Gwen: "Right, now?"

Michael: "I'm hungry now, how about you?"

Gwen: "I was just about to suggest the same thing" she said as she and Michael smiled and stared into each other eyes, while Kevin only glared at the new couple as he walks in front of them and finally said the one thing that has been bothering him ever since the blonde douchebag arrived.

Kevin: "Okay what is up with you!? You been ignoring me ever since we got here, you were lousy in the fight and now your just acting goofy!"

Gwen: "Why are you pretending to care?" She shot back as she grabbed Michael's hand and started walking off the empty power plant. "Later." She said as she and her new "boyfriend" walked off, leaving behind a fuming Kevin as he turned back over to Ben and Vanessa and gave them an angry look.

Kevin: "Are you two just going stand their?!

Ben: "No, I was going to sit in the car" He responded as he started making his way over to the car, while Kevin turned to Vanessa and gave her a confused look.

Kevin: "Aren't you going to stop her? I know how much you hate him"

Vanessa: "I do, but I promised Ben that I wont try to pick a fight with him and also because I cant interfere with Gwen love life, its her life, so I cant do anything about it" She said as Kevin looked at her for a few seconds, before walking over to Ben as Vanessa followed him close behind.

Kevin: "Look I don't trust this guy and I don't think you should have been so quick to make him part of the team"

Ben: "Admit it, your just jealous because Gwen likes him"

Kevin: "No, I'm not!"

Vanessa: "Yes you are, you are so jealous of Michael!"

Kevin: "And who asked you!? And what are you doing teasing me?! Your suppose to be on my side!"

Vanessa: "I cant help it! You guys relationship is too cute!~

Kevin: "...Okay, you know what? Its fine." He said as he gave them a calm smirk, before walking off as Ben smiled proudly at his friend maturity, while Vanessa smirked deviously as she knew what he was planning and she was 100% onboard with it.

And done! This chapter was really easy to do, even though in the beginning I had a mental block for some reason and yes Vanessa can break the fourth wall, but she doesent do it as much as cartoons do...or maybe not, who knows? Lets see what happens and also I wanted to say to all my readers and future readers to have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Anyway as always, I will catch you all later.
