And new update! Wow, this has to be like the first episode that I finished in only two chapters, I don't know if its an improve it or not but I like it! I really loved writing this chapter and you will see why later on...Anyway I don't own nothing from Ben 10, only my OC's.

NOW LETS GET ON WITH THE STORY!

The story starts with Gwen looking at her house from afar in Kevin's car as she closed her eyes and sighed nervously, after the...interesting encounter with her grandmother, Gwen asked Kevin to drive her back to her home so she can get some answers from her father. Kevin asked her if she wanted them to come with her, but she politely said "No" since it was a private matter and asked them tostay in the car and wait for her to finish her talk with her father.

They all respected her wishes and stayed back at the car as she walked over to her house and opened the door, once the door was closed they all grinned at each other as they all have the same idea and immediately got out of the car. Back with Gwen we see her taking uneasy breathes as she walked into her living room and saw her father Frank Tennyson reading a newspaper, while her mother Natalie Tennyson stood back in the kitchen as she cleaned a few dishes.

"Hey, guys"

"Oh, hello dear. Missed dinner again, I see" Natalie says with a playful smile as Gwen blushed in embarrassment and looked down.

"Uh, yeah, sorry about that" She says as she placed her hands behind her back and turned over to her father. "Anyway Dad, can I talk to you for a minute?" She asked as Frank lowered his newspaper and gave Gwen a small smile

"Sure, pumpkin. What do you need?"

"I think it's best if we talk about this in my room…alone" She said as Natalie gave her daughter a suspicious look, while Frank looked at Gwen in surprised as he tilted his glasses.

"In your room, really? I'll be honored"

He says as Gwen grabbed his hand and dragged him upstairs, Natalie watched them go with careful eyes as she walked over to her living room and started dusting a few vases. With Gwen we see her letting her father go into her room as she closed it behind her and locked it just for in case her mother comes by, Frank looked around the room with a small smile on his face as Gwen nervously walks over to him and looks down.

"It's been a while since I seen your room, when was the last time you let me up here?" He joked, but Gwen didn't respond as she was having an inner battle on whether or not is a good idea to tell him about her powers.

"Dad...I been keeping a big secret from you"

Gwen says as she walked over to her drawer and opened it, Frank starred at her daughter curiously as he looked over her shoulder and saw that her drawer was filled with tons of magical artifacts, spell books, Including her old spell book that she had when she was ten and her old Lucky Girl mask.

"I have magic powers" She says quietly as Frank looked at her daughter for a seconds, before smiling as he crosses his arms and chuckles lightly.

"So, what? You're some kind of wizard in training? Come on, Gwen there is no such thing"

"But there's more, you're ready?" She asked as she lifted her arm and heisted for a little bit, before charging up her mana powers as a large purple tentacle appeared out of her arm and zoomed across her room, before closing the small drawer as Frank fell down on Gwen's bed in shock at what he saw.

"That's a big secret"

"I met grandma Verdona today" She said as Frank looked up to her in surprise, before sighing as he stood up and saw old pictures of Gwen when she was a kid.

"I knew this day might come, but you never showed any sigh of having powers. Your mother and I thought we were in the clear"

"Magic runs in the family? I knew it!" She said excitedly as Frank sighed exhaustedly and straighten out his glasses.

"Honey, there is really no such things as magic. Your grandma is an alien" He said, causing Gwen to stumble back in her steps as she sat on her bed and starred at her father in disbelief and amazement.

"Okay, I am overloading with questions. But first…guys I know you're out there, come on in" Gwen said, causing the gang to wince as they stood outside of her window, eavesdropping on their conversation as they tried their best on not being spotted but ultimately they failed.

"Aww, how did you knew that we were out there? We were being extra sneaky!" Vanessa said, while pouting a little bit as she and the others entered Gwen's room.

"Well, first I knew you guys will be eavesdropping. Second, you guys weren't that quiet and third…it's pretty easy to spot you and Sabrina in the darkness with your blue hair" Gwen said, while laughing at her as Vanessa grabbed her curly hair and moans embarrassedly.

"Ah! Once again my blue hair betrayed me!"

She screamed in a typical anime girl-like manner, before calming down as she noticed Frank starring at her confusedly from across the room. Vanessa instantly straighten herself out as she walked over to Gwen's dad and held out her hand for him to shake.

"Hello, Mr. Tennyson! My name is Vanessa Cunningham, I'm friends with your daughter. Nice to meet ya!" She said with a grin, while holding out her arm but Frank didn't seem to respond to her as he couldn't help but to stare at Vanessa's large and very visible scar. "Uh, are you okay, Mr. Tennyson?"

"Hmmm? Oh, sorry about that. It's very nice to meet you too, Mrs. Cunningham" He said, while shaking her hand as he continued starring at her scar. "Hey I know, we just met and all but I have to ask…how you got that scar." He asked, causing everyone to freeze on their steps as they looked over at Vanessa and saw her looking down at the floor, with an expressionless look on her face.

"…I-I don't feel comfortable talking about that" Vanessa said as Ben walked over to her and grabbed her arm.

"Hi, Uncle Frank. Vanessa here doesn't really like to talk about her past so much, it brings back too many painful memories for her" He said, causing Frank to panic as he looked over at Vanessa and gave her an apologetic look.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bring back bad memories!" He said as Vanessa sniffed, before looking up to him as she gave him a sad smile and dried off her tears.

"No, no, it's okay, I get it. Having a scar this big is bound to be noticed, so is not your fault that you asked you were only curious" She said as Frank smiled at her, before turning over to Sabrina as he bends down and ruffles her hair.

"And who is this cutie?"

"My name is Sabrina, I'm Vanessa's little sister and this is Ship!" She said, while picking him up from the ground as he looks over at Frank suspiciously, before licking his face.

"Ship!" He beamed as Frank wiped away the saliva and stood up as he turned over to Kevin, who was desperately trying to hide away from him as Frank starred at him suspiciously.

"Uh, how do you do, sir? Kevin Levin" He introduced himself lamely as Frank raised his eyebrow at him and looked over at Gwen.

"Who is this? Your boyfriend?" He asked as both Gwen and Kevin faces instantly went red as Kevin distanced himself from Gwen, while she waved her arms around madly.

"Absolutely not! I-I mean, no sir!"

"Daddy, no!" They screamed as Vanessa smiles a little, feeling a little bit better from before as she looked over at the blushing teens and squealed loudly.

"Aww, they are so cute when there blushing together! They will be the cutest couple ever!" She gushed as both Kevin and Gwen turned to her with their eyes blazing in anger.

"We will never be a couple!" They screamed at her as she grins at them and pointed a finger at them.

"Oh, you will be. You'll see!" She said with a laugh as Gwen sighs and slaps her cheeks to prevent herself from blushing anymore as she turned back over to her father, who was staring at the scene amusedly.

"So, here is the thing. My grandma, who I never knew, wants something from me but I don't know what"

"Let's ask her"

"How?" Sabrina asked, while tilting her head in confusion as Ships does the same. Frank gave her a smirk as she turned back to his daughter, who was staring at him with confusion as well.

"Your friends aren't the only that sneaks around, eavesdropping on people. Isn't that right, mom?" He asked as a big flash of pink of light occurred and the teens had to cover there eyes as Verdona suddenly teleported in Gwen's room and grinned at them as she stood behind her son.

"You always could tell when I was watching baby, I had hope that meant you had the spark but no such luck"

She says as she raised her glowing hands and snapped her fingers, causing the group to let out surprised gasps as they glowed pink and were suddenly teleported into Gwen's living room. Natalie dropped the vase she was cleaning in shock as she saw her family suddenly appearing in front of her out of nowhere and was about to ask them how they got there, but the answer came quickly as she saw her mother-in-law standing in between the group.

"Verdona, what a surprise" She said through gritted teeth as Verdona's eyes glowed pink and the broken vase that was on the floor levitated off the floor and fixed itself, before being placed gently on the table.

"Whoa" Gwen said astonished at the sight before her.

"Man, your grandma is way cooler than mine" Vanessa said as Sabrina nodded in agreement and let go of Ship as he slithered off to explore the house.

"Yeah, all she does is watch TV and order us to give her a bath" She said as she and Vanessa both shuddered in disgust as Verdona took off her hood and gave Natalie a grin.

"Tea dear and something sweet for the kids" She says as Natalie gave her a look, before going into the kitchen to prepare some tea and cookies for her guests.

{Time Skip}

The story then skipped as we see everyone sitting on Gwen's living room with a teacup and a tray of cookies placed on the coffee table as Verdona poured herself a cup of tea, while Sabrina sneakily tries to grab a cookie from the tray but Vanessa slapped her hand before she could.

"Ow, what was that for?!"

"Sabrina you know you can't have any kind of sweets, you will have a sugar rush"

"I was only going to eat one!" She says as Vanessa narrows her eyes at her. "...All right fine, I'll go and play with Ship In the backyard" She said grumbly as she got up from the couch and went into the backyard to play with her alien pet.

"Been a while, mom" He said, trying to start a conversation as Verdona smiled at him and took a sip from her tea.

"I suppose in human time" She said as she turned over to Gwen, who was staring at her alien grandmother as her head was filled with tons of questions. "Sweetie your grandmother is an Anodite and so are you"

"What's an Anodite?"

"Anodites are a race of free spirits with powers that humans can barely comprehend. Now we don't always mess in the affairs of just plain folks, but I fell deeply in love with Max Tennyson"

"Aww, alien love!" Vanessa squealed, while leaning next to Ben.

"So, why did you ditch him?" Kevin asked rudely, causing Ben to elbow him in the ribs as Verdona gave him a look but press on.

"No, I didn't ditch him. It's just that after the kids were grown and out of the house I needed to reconnect with my anodite heritage and Max was busy saving the universe with the plumbers"

"Dad though you didn't knew about that" Frank says as Verdona smiles fondly and stared at her cup of tea as old memories slipped through her mind.

"Yes, he didn't want me to worry, sweet man. We had many great years, but we grew apart. Even a fellow loaded with as much mana as Max is still a physical being"

"What's mana?" Ben asked as Verdona smirked and lifted her finger just as Ben tried to take another bite from his cookie, but was stopped as Verdona put a tape around his mouth.

"Well, that's one way of shutting him up" Zeda said, while appearing out of the Zennatrix as Vanessa elbowed her and took out one of her swords.

"Who is she?" Natalie asked as Vanessa removed the tape from Ben's mouth with the tip of her sword.

"Her name is Zeda, she is the Zennatrix's AI" Vanessa answered as Gwen's parents gave her a confused look. "I'll explain later" She said, before turning to Zeda. "Hey Zeda, will you mind keeping an eye out for Sabrina and Ship? I don't like leaving them alone for too long"

"Yeah, sure" She said as she flew over by the door and went into the backyard.

"Anyway your grandpa's fate was big news, it even reach my home planet. So, I came back here to remember the good times" She said, before turning to Gwen as she had a big smile on her face. "Who knew there was a budding anodite among you! Gwendolyn, you'll be amazed at what you can do, let me teach you to master life-energy! That's what mana is" She said to Ben as she gave him a cheeky grin.

"Oh"

"I do want to learn, when do we start?" She asks as Verdona grabbed her hands and squeezed them softly.

"On Anodyne. Stop living this hum drum life, come home with me and join the real party" She said with a grin as Gwen let go of her hands and took a few steps back as she stared at her friends wide eyed at the news.

"Leave? This is all so...wow. This is too huge! Mom, Dad, what do I do?"

"I don't know, its an opportunity I never had" Frank said, while standing up as Natalie followed in pursuit and gave her daughter a sad smile.

"We always hoped that you take after my side of the family" She said, while momentarily glaring at Verdona as she glared back at her. "But we want you to be happy"

"We wont stand in your way, Gwen"

"You won't"

"Well, that settles it, come on sweetie!" She said gleefully as Gwen closed her eyes and runs upstairs, while crying silently as she does so. The boys followed her close behind as Vanessa was about to go and follow them, but was stopped by Ben.

"Vanessa, I think is better if you let us handle this" Ben said as Vanessa gave him a confused look, but nodded nonetheless as he smiled at her and pecked her cheek, before running upstairs.

"Oh, I didn't knew that you and Ben were so close" Frank said, causing Vanessa to blush in embarrassment as she pulled back her hair and looked down.

"W-Well, we did started dating a few days ago"

"Oh, so your a couple now?" Natalie asked as Vanessa blushed even more and covered her face with her hat.

"O-Oh, I don't know, w-we only went on one date. I-I mean I do want us to be a couple, b-but I don't think we are on a boyfriend and girlfriend status quite yet" She stuttered as Gwen's parents laughed at her blushing face, while Verdona only hummed thoughtfully.

"Hey, Vanessa was it? Will you come here for a second?" Verdona asked as Vanessa shyly walks over to her, while Gwen's parents went into the kitchen to give the girls some privacy.

"You're not going to give me relationship advice are you?"

"Oh, don't worry dear. I wont"

"Whew, that's a relief" She said as Verdona gingerly grabbed her hand and sat her down at the sofa next to her.

"But I was meaning to ask you a question and answer me honestly, why do you carry a sword?" Verdona asked, while pointing down as Vanessa looked down and saw that she was still holding to her sword.

"Oh, well that's a long story"

"I have time...well, until Gwen makes a decision that is" Verdona says with a chuckle as Vanessa looks down at her sword and saw her reflection on the steel.

"Well, it all started when I was 5 years old and I was watching TV at my uncles house..."

{Flashback}

The story then went back in time as we see a 5 year old Vanessa sitting on the floor of her Uncle Stan's house as she looked up to the TV with awe as she saw a man wearing a white kimono wielding a magical sword as he step forward to oppose against an all powerful black demon.

Sitting on the couch behind her was an 8 year old Mikey as he crossed his arms and rolled his eyes at what his cousin was watching, Mikey whole appearance was completely changed as his blue hair was now a buzz cut, instead of a Mohawk and he was now wearing a black shirt with a white skull and was wearing brown cargo shorts.

"I don't know really remember what the name of the show was, but I did remember watching one man fighting against an old powerful foe with nothing but a sword in his hand" Vanessa narrated as her past self sat up from the floor and started mimicking what she saw.

"Having fun are we?" A loud voice said, causing past Vanessa to stop what she was doing as she saw her uncle entering the living room with a bowl of cereal in his hand. Vanessa's uncle was an extremely tall man with pale skin, brown eyes and short wavy blue hair, he wore a traditional business suit with a blue tie and black shoes.

"Yep!" Vanessa replied cheerfully, while Mikey only groaned in annoyance.

"Not me, Dad she keeps watching this boring show, can I please change it?"

"No!" Vanessa screamed as Stan chuckled and put the bowl of cereal in front of her.

"Now, Vanessa I know you love this show. But you have to let other people watch TV too, that's called sharing" He said with a warm smile as Vanessa pouted, but reluctantly gave Mikey the remote as he grinned at her and changed the channel. "Don't worry sweetheart you can see your program later, but now you need to eat your breakfast"

"But, I'm not hungry!" She protested as a women came out of the kitchen and gave her a stern look. The women was fairly short as she had black eyes, long brown hair that reached to her waist and was wearing a white top with blue jeans and was wearing an apron around her waist.

"Now, now, Vanesa I put in a lot of effort in making sure you're well fed and healthy. You better eat your food or else I will call your parents right now" The women warned, while playing the parent card as Vanessa eyes flew open in panic and bowed her head she started eating her cereal.

"Sorry, Aunt Rose" She said as Rose smirked and went back to the kitchen to prepare everybody else's breakfast. After a while of eating her breakfast, Vanessa almost finished he breakfast as Mikey yawned from the couch and sat up as he went into his room to play with his action figures.

"Say Vanessa, why do you like that show so much anyway" He asked as Vanessa gulps down the rest of her cereal and looks up to her uncle with a disbelief look.

"Are you serious?! Its the best show ever! Its about this guy that fights bad guys with a cool and magical sword!" She said cheerfully as she stood up from the floor and started making kung Fu moves. "I wish I can be like him and beat up bad guys with swords, hi-yah!" She said, while kicking the air but she used to much force and accidently falls on her butt.

"Ha, ha, ha! If you want to learn how to fight and use a sword, I could always teach you!" He said, causing Vanessa eyes to sparkle as she stood up and ran up to him.

"Really, you could do that?!" She asked as Stan laughed at her enthusiasm and ruffles her hair.

"Of course! Your old uncle may look like a businessmen, but that only what you see on the outside, because on the inside I'm really..." He said, before sitting up as he smirked at her and threw a shuriken at the wall. "...A mercenary for the government!" He said proudly as Vanessa looks at the shuriken at the wall and gasps in amazement.

"Wow...what's a mercenary?" She asked innocently as Stand laughs and bends down to her level"

"Well, a mercenary is a person that is paid by an organization to *Coughs* take care of bad guys"

"Whoa, so you beat up bad guys for money? Cool!"

"Yes, but don't tell your Aunt, your cousin or anybody by that matter"

"Why?"

"Well, that's because...you don't want them to worry about me, do you?"

"Oh, okay. But why tell me?"

"Well, that's because I am going to teach you how to use a sword!" He screams as Vanessa gasps and started bouncing in excitement.

"Really!? Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She said, while hugging his waist as he laughs and patted her head.

"Your welcome, young niece. And don't worry by the time I'm finish with you, you will be strong enough to chop off trees with ease!" He said as Vanessa smiles brightly and stared at the shuriken that was still nailed to the wall.

"Back then I didn't really knew what my uncle does at the time, but all I knew is that I finally get to be a great hero just like my favorite hero ever Samurai Jack!" She narrated as her past self started jumping around the room, while making karate sounds as her Uncle Stan laughed at her antics. (Btw, I don't own Samurai Jack at all).

{Flashback over}

The story then resumed back to the present where we see Vanessa finishing her story as Verdona cocks her head and gave her a confused look.

"You got your fascination of swords by watching a kid show?"

"I know it sounds stupid, but ever since I watched that show I grew fond of swords and Japanese culture!" She said with a smile on her face as she looked down at Verdona and remembered the events that happened before. "Okay, now that I answered your question, can I ask you one?"

"Sure, dear. Got right ahead"

"Why do you want to teach Gwen her powers on Anodyne? Why not teach her here on earth, to make things more easier for her?" She asked, but Verdona didn't respond to her as she suddenly shot up from the ground and grabbed her arm.

"Do you like music?"

"Huh? Yeah, I guess" She says as Verdona smirked and snapped her music, causing a disco ball to appear on the ceiling as the lights went off and music started blaring out of nowhere.

"Shag carpeting, they were Max's favorite. Why do the most backwatered creatures make the best music?" She asked to one in particular as she started dancing. "Come on, kid! Join in on the fun!" She said as Vanessa complemented on whether or not to dance with her. "Don't be shy, young swordswomen! Its fun!"

"...Oh, what the hell" She says as she joins in with her and started dancing with her. Frank and Natalie came out of the kitchen, wondering where is the noise was coming from and saw that there living room has turned into a mini disco party.

"Don't you ever complain about my Aunt Joyce again" Natalie hissed to Frank, who slump his shoulders as Verdona grabbed Vanessa's hands and started spinning them both in the air.

"Cheer up, junior. You didn't have the spark, there was nothing I could teach you"

"You taught me a lot mom, you and Dad both"

"You know what I mean, I even come back when the grandkids were born just incase your baby had the spark, but nothing to it" She said as she levitated back on the ground and gently placed Vanessa on the floor, who was dizzy from the flight as she grabbed the staircase to balance herself. "Carl's boy, same thing"

"Mom, if you could give Gwen the opportunity that we can't, we wont hold her back" He says as Verdona smiles and continues dancing, just as Gwen and the others came downstairs.

"Thanks so much for the offer, but I'll just settle for being a gifted human, I want to stay here with my friends" Gwen says to Verdona, whose face fell as she snapped her fingers and everything returned back to normal.

"But you don't even know what you really are! Kiddo we belong on Anodyne among our kind, let me show you" She said as her eyes and mouth glowed pink and with a huge flash of pink light, her real form was shown as she shed her human skin and it fell on the ground.

"See, just a disguise" She says in a booming tone as her real form resembles a purple/pink alien with long pink glowing hair that reaches down to her feet and her whole body radiated with a pink glow. "This is what it means to be an Anodite"

"So, that's why she looks so good" Natalie said as both Sabrina and Zeda entered the house to see what was going on and staggered back at the sight of the purple alien.

"Mature Anodites are pure energy, we draw life from the mana around us"

"You got to admit, that is pretty cool" Ben said as Zeda and Sabrina walked over to the rest of the gang.

"Um, who is that?" Zeda asked

"Ben and Gwen's grandmother, apparently she is an alien and this is how she really looks like"

"Seriously? We been gone for like half an hour and all of this happens?" Sabrina says in disbelief as Verdona looks over at Gwen and smiles at her like if she was a small child.

"You're just to young to make up your mind on your own, let me help you. I'll destroy your human body and free the Anodite inside, it will be fun and you will be able to think clearly, much more clearly"

"D-Destroy..."

"Her body?"

"What the shit!?" Vanessa exclaimed as Gwen shook off the shock from her body and glares up to her grandmother.

"Destroy my body? Your not serious."

"How do you know you don't like something if you don't try it?" She asked as she reached out her hands towards Gwen, but was stopped by her friends as Vanessa brought out her swords, Zeda powers up her holographic blasts, Sabrina stood in a fighting stance and the boys stood in front of Gwen protectively.

"Verdona, she said no" Ben said as she smiles at them with a childish grin.

"Another dance, boys and girls? Fine, but just this once"

She said with as she raised her hands and blasted them with a big mana blast, Ben and Kevin quickly shielded the girls from the blast as the force of the blast managed to flung them into the air and send them outside. At the backyard we see Ship playing with a small rubber ball that Sabrina bought for him as he chewed on it and ate it, before sniffing the air as he sensed a massive amounts of energy and heard an explosion.

Causing him to turned around as he saw his owner and his friends hurling towards the ground at high speeds, with quick thinking Ship transformed into a giant size air mattress and caught the falling teens just before they hit the ground as they all groaned in pain. Gwen came out of the hole of her house and ran over to her groaning friends to make sure that they were okay as Verdona flew out of the house and laughs childishly.

"Now this is what I call a party!"

She screamed as she joined her hands and shot at them with an even bigger mana blast, Gwen and the others gasps in shock as the blast hit them head on and made a giant size crater to appear on the ground.

Once the smoke disappeared we see Gwen projecting a barrier around her and her team, successfully protecting them from the blast as she got out of the crater with her mana platforms and blasted her back, Verdona didn't even blink as she blocked it with her hair and grinned at them.

"Damm, grandma does not fuck around!" Vanesa said as the boys sat up, while Zeda picked up Sabrina and Ship and hid them behind a tree.

"Stay here" Zeda commanded them as she flew above Gwen and sartted shooting bolts of electricity at Verdona, who simply blocked it with a shield as Gwen raised her hands and charged up her mana powers.

"Gwen, stay back!" kevin said, not noticing Vanessa in the background as she took out her other sword and started climbing up a tree.

"Hit the road, Kevin!" She said without looking at him as she started multiple mana blasts at her alien grandma.

"Huh?" He asked as Gwen motioned the road and he finally caught on as he absorbed the rock below and coated himself in cement armor.

"We can't stay here, Ship" Sabrina said as she watched her sister and friends having the battle of their life's. "We got to help them, can you transform into something useful?"

She asked as Ship thought for a minute, before nodding as he jumped into her arms and transformed into an Assault Riffle.

"Whoa, okay. Lets see if I'm good with a gun like mommy" She said as she ran out into the field and raised her gun at the mana powered alien. "Hey, my mommy says that I have to respect my elders, but this time I think I can make an exception!"

She said with a smirk as she cocked her gun and started firing, Verdona groans in pain as the laser-powered bullets hits her chest and caused her to momentarily get distracted as Vanessa jumped out of the tree and slashes her cheek. Vanessa landed on the ground as Verdona grabbed her bleeding cheek and was about to charge at her, but was blindsided by Zeda as she flew in and blasted her face.

Verdona groaned in annoyance as she was about the blast the AI out of the sky, but was blindsided again by Kevin as he started grabbing the stones from the floor and started hurling them at her. Ben, deciding to join in on the fight, quickly activated his Omnitrix as he slammed his hand down and transformed into Spidermonkey.

"Spidermonkey!"

He screamed as he started making monkey noises and jumped excitedly. Back with Gwen we see her struggling to keep her shield going as Verdona pried them open with her hair and was about to attack her, when suddenly she was saved by Spidermonkey as he used his web to grab her and pull her back just before she striked.

"Check it out, hands-free!" Spidermonkey says as Verdona snarled and lunged at him with her hair, but the attack was blocked by Vanessa, who leaps in front of Ben and slashes her tentacles with her swords.

"Ha, check it out, free haircut! She says with a smirk as Verdona glares at her and regrows her hair. "Hey, you old hag! If you want me? Then come and get me!"

She screams as Verdona grinned at the challenge and flew after her as her hair moved in front of her and lunged at the young swordswomen her like wild snakes, Vanessa didn't break a sweat as she sliced up the first one, blocked the second one with her swords, kicked the other one away and finally double slash the last one with her two swords as she landed on the ground and quickly leaped out of the way just as Verdona blasted the ground she was standing on before.

Vanessa landed on the other side of the backyard as Verdona gritted her teeth in anger, not believing that she hasn't taken out the young heroine by now as she was about to fly after her, when suddenly Kevin came in and hurled more boulders at her. Verdona had enough of his attacks as she grabbed Kevin with her hair and was about to blast him, when suddenly she heard someone whistle for her as she looked behind her and raised her eyebrow.

"Hey, Verdona I have a question!" Zeda asked, while standing at the other end of the backyard as Sabrina stood below her with Ship, who had transform back to normal, hanging on her shoulder. "You keep blabbering on how Anodites are these all powerful beings, so tell me can one survive an missile explosion!" She asks with a smirk as Ship transformed into a rocket launcher, causing Verdona to go wide eyed as Sabrina slowly lifts up Ship and aims at the alien grandma. "FIRE!"

Zeda screams as Sabrina lets out a battle cry and presses the trigger, Verdona didn't have time to summon a shield as the rocket shot out of the launcher and hit her square in the chest, causing her to be sent flying in the air as she crashed against Gwen's house and a dust cloud appeared. Verdona weakly got up from the ground as her hands trembled in pain and before she can counter attack, multiple mana bolts were shot at her as she looked up and saw Gwen hanging by Spidermonkey's tail as she shot one last mana bolt at her and he let her go.

Once she landed on the ground she kicked Verdona a few times and finished it off with an uppercut as Vanessa ran pass her and leaps up as she lets out a battle cry and brought both of her swords down as Verdona used her hair to block her attack. But they were all instantly chopped off as Vanessa landed on the ground and watched Verdona growing back her hair as she hang her head down and clenched her fist.

"She's weakening!" Gwen exclaimed as Verdona flew off the ground and spread out her arms, before dive bombing into the ground as Vanessa grabbed her friends arm and pulled her down as Ben appeared out of nowhere and sucker punched his grandma (Wow, that sentence sounds so wrong when you say it out loud) Once Verdona landed on the ground, Spidermonkey raised his tail and tied her up with his organic webbing.

"Spidermonkey, got this covered!" He said, while letting out a monkey-like laugh as Kevin ran up to them and lifts a boulder ready to smash Verdona with it, but then he pauses as he realized who he was going to hit.

"Dude, I don't think I can pound your grandma!"

"That's okay. We're teaching her to mind her mana" He said with a laugh as Verdona laughs with him.

"Good one, Ben"

"Was not" Kevin protested as Verdona easily ripped through Spidermonkey's webbing and flew up in the air as she spread out her body and started absorbing all of the life-force from her environment.

"She's drawing mana from millions of things around her" Gwen concluded.

"The grass!" Kevin said.

"The trees!" Vanessa said.

"And billions of insects that are crawling around us, such power is unmeasurable! Is this the true power of the Anodites or is it only a taste of it!?" Zeda asked to one in particular as Verdona stopped absorbing and grinned down at the terrified teens below her.

"I'm really enjoying this!" She screams as she raises her tentacles and started buried Kevin into the ground with the stone he was holding as Ship saw this and started beeping at Verdona angrily. The old alien was annoyed by the beeping as she held out her hand and blasted Ship out of Sabrina's hands, Ship beeped and squirmed in pain before blacking out as he looked over at her owner sadly and turned into a puddle.

"Ship!?" Sabrina called out worriedly as Verdona shot a mini mana blast at her and knocked her out, without hurting her too much.

"Leave them alone!" Vanessa and Zeda screamed as Vanessa jumped up and slashed at her, while Zeda blasted her from the air. The attacks proved futile as Verdona grabbed them both and tossed them into the street, Zeda faded into nothingness as Vanessa landed on the street and crashed against a pile of trashcans.

"I should go out more often" Verdona mused as Ben looked over at Vanessa and saw that she was knocked out cold.

"Vanessa!" Ben screamed as Verdona flew down to him and effectively tied him up with his own webbing, Spidermonkey chitters in anger as he tried to escape his webbing but failed.

"No more tantrums sweetie, it will be over in a second" She said as Gwen stood back and shot at her with a mana ball as Verdona effortlessly caught the ball and threw it back to her, Gwen reflexively caught the ball with trembling hands as she threw it back to her...only for it to hit the garage door instead as Verdona grabbed her by her waist and lifted her off the ground. "One day you'll learn how to make a new body, any kind you like~"

"Listen to me!" Gwen screamed, causing Verdona to stop in her tracks as she place her on the ground and paid close attention to her granddaughter. "I'm not going! I love having powers, but I like my life better. I like fighting monster and saving the world!"

"Anodites helps tons of people, scads, you can use your powers however you like. After you master them in 60 or 70 years give or take"

"Its more than that! I like swimming and school and breaking boards with my hands and running and feeling tired afterwards and...kissing boys" She says the last part quietly as she looked over at Kevin, remembering the small peck she gave him on the room. "I mean all those good times you had with grandpa"

"Oh, I was just a kid having my fun. Trust me the grown up parties are better" She said with a fake smile as Gwen leans in and saw a twinkle of longing and sadness in her eyes.

"Grandma Verdona, admit it you missed it and you missed Max. That's what brought you here"

"Max should have been more like us, he had a spark all on his own. He was an adventurer, troublemaker, he was a lot like your little friend, uh...um...Curtis" She said to Kevin, who was still stuck on the ground.

"Kevin."

"Energy beings talking here"

"No, your an energy being. I'm a girl" She said as Verdona tried to retort, but couldn't come up with one as she looked up into space and started remembering all those times she had with Max.

"Maybe I forgotten what's that like. Still, what I'm offering you is better! Think about how many new powers you will have!" She says, while grabbing Gwen with her long hair as she levitated the both of them from the ground and grinned at her.

"I like having powers, but I love my friends and family. I'm not going, Grandma"

"...No, I don't believe you are" She says softly as Frank and Natalie smiled up to them, from the inside of the house as Verdona carefully placed her granddaughter on the ground and grins at beat up teens. "Well, its been a wild shindig"

She said as she snapped her finger and instantly everything was fixed as the boys were freed from their confinements and transformed back to normal, both Vanessa and Sabrina recovered from the fight as Ship slowly reformed from the puddle and eagerly jumped into Sabrina's hands as he licked her face.

"But mommas got to go"

"How did you do that?"

"You could come with me and find out"

"Yeah or not" She said with a smirk as Verdona shrugged her shoulders and picked up the gang with her hair.

"Had to try, goodbye all" She says as she turned over to Ben and grabbed his cheek. "And Ben, way to stick up for your cousin, you're alright"

"You too grandma" Ben as he smiled at her and she smiled back, before turning over to Vanessa who was checking to see if Sabrina was alright from the fight. "Hey, kid. Got a second? I have to say that even though you lost the fight, you were holding out on your own very well with nothing but your swords. I have to say, I am impressed...even if you are a physical being"

"Thanks, your not bad either...for an old hag" She said with a smirk as Verdona laughed at her and put her hand on her shoulder.

"I like you swordswomen, I officially give you my blessing for dating my grandson!" She announced loudly as Vanessa blushed a bit, but thanked her nonetheless as she turned over to Gwen and gave her a grin. "Don't forget to have fun, kiddo. Your grandma is going to drop in ever now and again to see how you are doing"

"Oh, joy." Natalie said dryly as she and Frank stepped outside of the house as Verdona hair glowed brightly, before flying off into space at the speed of light as the rest of the family watched her go with smiles on their faces, including Natalie who was glad that she was finally gone. Gwen smiled up into space, before looking down as she saw that Verdona left one of her space plants on the ground and she picked it up.

"Come on, I know where this goes"

{Time Skip again}

The story then skipped again to later at night, where we see the gang (Including Gwen's parents) standing by Max and Verdona's tree as Gwen places the alien plant below and stood up as she and the others stared at the heart shape carving on the tree with smiles on their faces as the flower glowed pink, before fading away.

And done! I really loved how this chapter went and yes Vanessa got her love for swords and fighting bad guys by watching Samurai Jack. Its a stupid reason but its funny at the same time and you're not going to believe this considering that Vanessa loves this show, but...I have never seen a single episode of Samurai Jack when I first made my story, I just thought that Vanessa will look cool with two swords. When I was a kid and saw one episode of the show I quickly got bored because I saw Jack walking in the forest for 2 straight minutes, curse my short attention span because I started watching the show a few weeks ago and it is awesome!

Anyway as always, I will talk to you all later
