Plumber Base: Inmate Block
It was another day of work for Ben, he had dropped the girls off at school and was now doing his daily rounds of walking through the inmate block of the plumber base. Ben walked down the hall and saw all of his old villains and other criminals in their cells. All of them would curse Ben as he walked past their cells.
"Okay Swift, it's time for your daily counseling session" Ben said as he stopped in front of Swift's cell
"Why must I do these ridiculous sessions?" Swift asked irritated
"I don't know why, maybe we believe that you can be rehabilitated and possibly rejoin the plumbers and do some good for both humans and aliens" Ben answered opening Swift's cell
Swift stepped forwards and held her arms out to Ben, Ben took out a pair of cuffs and put them on Swift's wrists. Ben then began to lead Swift down the hall to the medical ward.
"You know that if I didn't have these cuffs on I'd kill you and save all of us" Swift said to Ben
"Well, there are three things wrong with that statement, one, Azmuth designed these cuffs to neutralize all natural abilities of extraterrestrial species and they can only be removed by me or any other officer who has the key, two, the omnitrix won't let me die due to it's A.I safety protocols and lastly I'm not this monster that Servantis told you I was, I'm actually a hero who saves people" Ben replied
Swift didn't say anything back, she kept quiet and continued to walk with Ben
"Look Swift, what Servantis did to you was cruel and truly evil, he manipulated you into fighting for a cause that was for his own personal gain, hopefully someday you'll open your eyes and see that" Ben said
"For now you'll send me to a councilor to try and brainwash me into believing that" Swift replied
"Okay, we're here" Ben said
Ben stopped walking with Swift and was now standing in front of the councilors office. Ben knocked on the door and as it opened out came Mina in a white lab coat.
"Hello there my Benjamin, I see you brought me my patient" Mina said
"Yeah, she's here for her counseling session" Ben replied kissing Mina
"Would you two stop this disgusting show of coitus" Swift said with disgust
"I am sorry miss Swift if my show of love disgusts you, we can begin our session now" Mina said
"Alright Swift, I will be back to pick you up when you are done" Ben said to Swift

Bellwood Elementary School
"Okay class, today we will be partnering up with one another as we learn about the life cycle of a butterfly" Miss Jenson said to the class
The class grew excited hearing that
"Now, I will be assigning each group of five" Miss Jenson said
Quickly Miss Jenson assigned all of the groups together for the lesson. Eira and Lucia were put into a group with Sammy, Simon and Ray. The five sat at their table and were waiting for Miss Jenson's instructions.
"Okay class, first we will be learning about the first stage of a butterfly, the egg, in front of you are what butterfly eggs look like" Miss Jenson said
"Wow they look so tiny" Lucia said
"But butterflies are bigger then these eggs, how do they fit inside of them?" Eira asked
Some of the other classmates laughed at Eira's question, embarrassing her
"Hey that's not funny, don't laugh at her" Sammy said punching her fist into her hand
"Samantha is right class, that is not funny and is a legitimate question" Miss Jenson said to class scolding them for laughing at Eira
The class grew quiet and didn't say any else
"Now Eira, butterflies are a very unique creatures, they are not hatched out of these eggs but as small little caterpillars, which brings us to phase two of the life cycle of a butterfly" Miss Jenson explained to Eira and the rest of the class
Eira and her group looked at a tiny caterpillar crawling around in a container
"Those look super cute" Sammy said looking at the caterpillars
"They look kind of like an alien" Lucia said
"Trust me, I know what an alien looks like" Ray said shifting his head to look like a caterpillar's
Lucia and the other classmates laughed at Ray's face
"Ray, no powers in class" Miss Jenson said scolding Ray
"Sorry Miss Jenson" Ray said transforming his head back to normal
"Now class, during the second stage of the butterfly's life cycle they will continue to grow larger as they move around and eat food so it can move into stage three, the chrysalis or pupa" Miss Jenson explained to the class
Simon raised his hand to ask a question
"What is it Simon?" Miss Jenson asked
"Well Miss Jenson, how long does it take for a caterpillar to change into a chrysalis?" Simon asked
"Normally it takes 7 to 11 days for a caterpillar to morph into its cocoon like stage" Miss Jenson answered
Eira raised her hand next to ask a question
"Yes Eira" Miss Jenson said
"How long does it take for the cocoon to open up revealing a butterfly?" Eira asked
"Well, just like with the cocoon stage it takes 7 to 11 days for the butterfly to reach its final stage hatching from the cocoon to become a butterfly" Miss Jenson answered
The class all began to look at the butterflies who were frozen in place in front of them
"They look beautiful" Eira said looking at the patterns on the butterfly's wings
"Each butterfly has its own unique pattern on its wings" Miss Jenson told the class
"They are kind of like us" Eira said before being elbowed by Lucia
"What was that?" Sammy asked
"It was nothing" Eira answered seeing Lucia give her a look

Plumber Base: Training Room
In the training room of the plumber base is Ben now transformed as his Petrosapien form he calls Diamondhead. Right now he is firing at targets with his crystal shards. Something is bothering Ben and he doesn't know what to do. Ever since he and Helen went on that mission together she has been acting really weird around him. Ben didn't know what he did to either upset her or make her not like to be around him anymore.
"Ben something seems to be the matter with you" Rook said as he entered the training room
"You could tell?" Ben asks as he cuts a target in half with his crystal blade arm
"Your emotions are miraculously easy to read" Rook answers
"That's not…never mind" Ben said
"If you tell me what is bothering you I or doctor Transyl may be able to help you" Rook said
"It's a bit complicated for you and a bit of waste of Mina's time" Ben replied
"Ben, you and I have been all over the universe, multiverse and much more together, at this point nothing is complicated" Rook said
"Alright, when you put it that way I can't not tell you, its Helen, Helen is bothering me" Ben replied
"What did agent Wheels do to bother you so much?" Rook asked
"Its not what she did to me, I think it was something I did to her, honestly I don't know and she isn't telling me anything and I don't like there being conflict between friends" Ben answered
"I am sure if you and Helen were to sit down and talk that you two would work out whatever is bothering both of you" Rook said
Suddenly out of nowhere Helen came into the training room and saw Ben and Rook standing there talking to each other. Ben and Rook noticed that she came into the room and looked over and saw her.
"Sorry about that, I thought the training room was open" Helen said backing up slowly towards the door
"Helen wait" Ben said transforming back to normal as he tried to stop Helen from leaving
Unfortunately Helen was too fast for Ben and she managed to quickly zoom out of the room before Ben could stop her
"Come on" Ben said
"Maybe some other time then" Rook said patting Ben on the back
"Please don't there there me" Ben said

Bellwood Elementary
It was recess time for the kids of Bellwood elementary school. Eira and Lucia went out with their friends and were playing on the playset with each other. While Ray and Lucia went down the slides and Simon was using the monkey bars, Eira and Sammy were in the tunnels.
"Hey Eira, I was wondering what you meant by the butterflies were like you and Lucia?" Sammy asked Eira
"I'm not exactly supposed to be talking about that" Eira said
"Why not, who told you that you couldn't talk about that, was it your parents?" Sammy asked
"No, my papa and mamas tell me to be proud of myself" Eira answered
"Then why can't you talk about it?" Sammy asked
"My papa told my sister and I that we were different the most kids, that our lives would be judged by others and that they'd try to hurt our feelings, so my sister and I agreed to keep who and what we were a secret" Eira answered
Sammy put her hand on Eira's hand which caused Eira to blush
"You can trust me, were friends" Sammy said
Eira sighed as she activated her omnitrix and pushed the core down. A flash of green light, Eira changed back into her original Necrofriggian form.
"I am an alien kind of like Ray but my papa gave birth to me and my sister, you can say what you want" Eira said before she transformed back to normal
Eira was waiting for Sammy to say something to her. Suddenly out of nowhere Sammy reached over and kissed Eira on the cheek.
"I think your cute no matter what you look like" Sammy said

Bellwood Elementary: Pick-up Area
School had gotten out and all of the children were at the pick-up area either getting on their buses or being picked up by their parents. Eira and Lucia were waiting for Ben to come and pick them up. Eira kept thinking about what happened between her and Sammy. Eira felt her heart beating fast every time she saw Sammy after she kissed her on the cheek. Eira had never had feelings like these before and she was nervous to ask her papa or one of her mamas for help.
Like clockwork, Ben pulled up in his car and got out. Eira and Lucia ran and gave Ben a hug. Ben hugged them back and kissed them on the foreheads.
"How was school you two?" Ben asked
"School was awesome, we got to learn about butterflies" Lucia said getting in the car
Eira was quiet and didn't say anything, when she saw Simon and Sammy get in their parent's car she blushed when Sammy waved at her
"Who's that Eira?" Ben asked
"Oh her, that's just Sammy and her brother" Eira answered
"Are they your friends?" Ben asked
"Yeah, they are both mine and Lucia's friends" Eira answered getting in the car
"Maybe some weekend, this Sammy can come and spend the night" Ben said
"That would be cool" Lucia said
"Yeah, sounds cool" Eira said quietly

Ben's House
When pulled up to the house Eira quickly got out of the car and ran inside. Ben could tell that something was bothering her but he didn't know what.
"Hey Lucia, is something wrong with your sister, she isn't acting normal?" Ben asked Lucia
"I don't what's the matter, she started acting weird after recess" Lucia answered
Ben was probably going to go and have a talk with Eira to see if there was something he could do, or Ben was going to have one of the girls talk to Eira. As Ben and Lucia walked inside of the house they were greeted by Isis and Diana.
"How was work today my pharaoh" Isis asked Ben
"Oh you know, the same old same old" Ben answered
"And how was school today pup?" Diana asked
"School was great today, we learned a lot of cool new things" Lucia answered
"Hey Hun what is for dinner tonight?" Ben asked Diana
"Well my mate, Isis and I have prepared a very meaty dinner for us" Diana answered
"I wouldn't expect anything less" Ben said with a smile
"We have a roast with potatoes and other vegetables" Isis said
"That sounds very delectable" a voice said
Ben turned around and saw Mina coming through the door
"Mama Mina!!!" Lucia said running over to give Mina a hug
"My oh my young one, your hugs are the best" Mina said hugging Lucia
"How was work Mina" Ben asked
"I am making some real progress with a few of my counseling patients" Mina answered
"That is good to hear, everyone deserves a second chance at life" Diana said
"Hey Mina my love, I was wondering if you and I could talk about something really quick?" Ben asked Mina
"I don't see why not Benjamin my love" Mina answered putting Lucia down on the ground
Ben and Mina walked over into the living room where it was quiet
"Mina, I was wondering if you could do something for me?" Ben asked
"Don't worry I will talk to Helen about what is bothering her" Mina said
"No, that's not what it is and how did you know that something was going on between Helen and I?" Ben asked
"Everyone can see that Helen is bothered by you and that you obviously did something" Mina answered
Ben let out an irritated sigh
"If that is not what you need my help with then what is it?" Mina asked Ben
"It's about Eira, she's been acting weird since I picked her and Lucia up from school, I don't think if I talk to her she'll tell me what is going on but if you talked to her I'm sure she'd tell you what is going on" Ben answered
"I will see what I can do Benjamin, if something is bothering Mina, it is my job to make sure she is okay" Mina said
Plumber Base: Helen's Room
Sitting on her bed sweating and moaning in pain was Helen. Her face was red and she couldn't lay still. Her tail was rubbing between her legs as a wet spot appeared in the front of her pants.
"If I don't do something I am going to die from all this pain" Helen said
Whatever Ben did to her was effecting Helen badly and she didn't know how much longer she could hold on
"Why Ben, why did it have to be Ben?" Helen asks herself as her tail continues to rub
Unknown Location
"We need some more DNA for my creations" a familiar voice said
"Well that is a problem that can be easily solved" another voice replied
"And what do tell did you have in mind you Galvan?" The first voice asked
"There is a DNA bank in Bellwood that has everything we need" the second voice answered
"What good is some primitive Earth animal DNA going to do us?" the first voice asked irritated
"Simple really, with our newest creation we will be able to copy DNA from a foolish Tennyson who will try to stop our creature" the second voice answered
"Now that is an excellent plan you Galvan may actually have some form of intelligence and I use the term loosely" the first voice said
"Whatever crab, we will be needing to add some adjustments to our newest creation" the second voice replied
"I will set up the machine to extract DNA from the child" the first voice said
"Good, find me some Galvanic Mechamorph and maybe some Nosedenian DNA" the second voice said
Over in a cage was a Necrofriggian child who was red, black, grey and white but seemed to be older then the last time
"Save me" it said
A/N: Okay readers, I've set up some action for the next chapter, what do you think is going to happen when Ben faces down this new creature. Also if you couldn't tell from before but something is building up between Eira and Sammy. Let me know what you think about how their relationship is growing. Now I am going to answer some questions and respond to some comments from the last chapter. esdeath756, no my story is not inspired by the Ben's Harem story by GreyKing46, yes there are similar elements but my story is mostly original. AlienTokusatsuDuelistMangaGeek, I can't exactly say who's that Necrofriggian baby that is but it is kind of obvious and remember Albedo is the opposite of Ben in every way. Now with the questions answered, time to respond to some comments. SaregentEpsilon, thanks for coming up with the name and Bloom is a good name, I might use it. BoredKing, yeah same here, I haven't watched the series in some time, might have to re-watch it at some point also I think I did use one or two chaps a bit too much. Ohma flame, love that enthusiasm please don't lose it but I don't think Albedo would be like that since he doesn't care for anyone or anything other then himself and trying to find a way to become a Galvan again. With that all done, thank you for reading and for your support, I will be seeing all of you later
