A/N: Hello. :) As I'm sure you're about to notice, much like my Danny Phantom story, some of the episodes are going to get mixed up in different times. But don't worry. I'll try and make sure this doesn't affect the continuity too much. Save for one major change, though. You see, I made a slight mistake adding Kai into the story, so now, I'm changing it up dir the better. I'll tell you this much: although Kai will still be here, there will also be someone from "Ben 10 Alien Force" and "Ben 10: Ultimate Alien" who deserves it more. Also, while Kevin Michael Richardson would voice Blitzwolfer this time around, Patrick Seitz would voice the Yenaldooshi and Julie would still be voiced by Vyvan Pham, but with a higher pitch. :) Anyhoo, enjoy.
Ben 10 (2005) Rewrite
Chapter 8
"Benwolf"
Act I
It started in the morning when Wes was telling Max and Dave about the dream catcher.
"Navajo legend says the web of the dream catcher protects the dreamer by holding the nightmares in the center and while good dreams travel down the feathers to bless the person sleeping.", Wes stated.
Frankly, Max and Dave grinned as they walked with Wes before Ben yawned, leaving Gwen annoyed, with Emily handing out her money for the dream catcher.
"Speaking of sleeping.", Gwen said before pushing Ben.
"I'd like to buy this dream catcher, please.", Emily exclaimed.
"Sold.", said the cashier as he handed her the same dream catcher from the Display.
Then, Emily decided to catch up to her two best friends.
"Wait up!", shouted Emily.
Then, Emily spoke to Ben as they walked by.
"Okay, Ben? What's gotten you so down?", inquires Emily.
"I know Mr. Green is Grandpa's old buddy, but could this trip get anymore...", Ben began to answer before he then noticed a a sort of girl with a pink sweatshirt and a white skirt with short, yet beautiful black hair, catching Ben's attention.
"Cooler?"
Then, Emily turned to Wes.
"Hey. Isn't that Julie?", Emily asked.
"That's right. She's a family friend.", Wes responded.
"What a coincidence. She's my family friend, too.", Dave spoke in surprise just as Emily notices Ben's lovestruck face.
"Uh-oh. I know that look. Heck, I even saw it once.", Emily spoke.
"Huh? What look?", Ben puzzled.
"All right, Ben. What's this about?", Emily asked.
"Nothing.", Ben responded quickly.
"Oh. I think I get it now.", Emily stated.
"Get what?", Ben puzzled just before the girl turned to see Ben and wave at him, surprising him as he widened his eyes before giving another warm smile.
"That. You must really like her, don't you?", Emily grinned.
"What?!", Ben puzzled in shock.
"Come on. She just saw you and she waved at you. That means she likes you, too. You should introduce yourself.", Emily suggested.
"Really? A-are you sure?", Ben asked almost nervously.
"Yeah. Just go right on ahead, Ben. You'll thank me for this later.", Emily responded as she then pushed Ben toward the girl, who turned to notice him before Ben became a bit nervous.
"Oh, Uh, hi, there.", Ben greeted.
"Oh. Hello. What's your name?", Julie asked.
"My name?", Ben asked.
"Mm-Hmm.", Julie nodded.
"Oh. Uh, my name's Ben Tennyson.", Ben greeted.
"Nice to meet you, Ben. I'm Julie Yamamoto.", Julie greeted.
"'Julie', huh? That's a really good name.", Ben grinned a bit nervously, although less so before looking back at Emily, who gave a thumbs-up to him before Max and Dave went over to her just as Ben turned his gaze back to Julie.
"All right, what's going on, Emily?", Max asked with a smirk.
"Well, Max, I think Ben just found his sweetheart.", Emily responded with Dave noticing her and giving a whistle.
"I can see why. Julie's just as beautiful as the last time we met.", Dave grinned.
"You know, I have been meaning to ask him to make new friends for some time.", Max commented.
"So, uh, what brings you here to New Mexico?", Ben asked.
"Well, the exotic locations, for one. And the legends there, too. Although, I actually came here to visit Mr. Green. He's a family friend of mine. Actually, I learned a lot about them here from him.", Julie responded.
"And who's that dancer? She's actually doing really good.", Emily grinned, pointing to the girl dancing across the streets.
"Why, thank you.", Mr. Green grinned.
"So, who's this?", Emily asked.
"That's my granddaughter, Kai.", Mr. Green answered as Ben ran closer to him.
Max spoke as he reacted in a good way and put his left hand on Wes' left shoulder.
"Wes, last time I saw her, she was barely walking. Now look at her."
"Now, she's dancing like there's no tomorrow.", Dave concurred.
As the drummers pounded the drums and the singers chanted, Emily and Wes had a short, reasonable conversation.
"So, what kind of dance is Kai doing now?", asked Julie.
"She's performing a ceremonial Navajo dance.", Wes answered.
"That's nice.", Emily responded.
Then, Ben spoke next.
"You know, I was helping to see one of those before the summer ended.", Ben admitted, puzzling Gwen.
"Since when have you been interested in Native American spiritual dance?", Gwen asked.
"Only, like, forever, dweeb. It rocks!", Ben replied as he did a fist pump.
Emily, however, does not buy it.
"Really? You didn't seem to act that way about that dream catcher earlier.", Emily reminded.
"Hey, I like what I like.", Ben responded.
Emily only "hmm'd" in suspicion towards his sudden change in opinion just as the dance ended before the people applauded with Kai bowing in respect as Ben "fixed" his hair and went google-eyed when Kai passed by him, bewildering Emily for a moment before she realized what was going on.
"Oh. I think I get it now.", Emily stated just before the northern lights dashed across the sky before dark storms came by.
"Does sudden rain storms happen to be in one of those 'legends'?", Ben asked.
"And you sure you're not doing a rain dance for that matter?", Gwen asked.
"Positive.", Kai responded.
"Not really.", Julie responded at the same time Kai did.
"Why?", Julie and Kai asked in unison with the latter shaking her head in reply as heavy rain then began to fall.
Afterwards, purple lightning struck near the customers two times, but not exactly at the same spot as it moved a bit closer.
"Uh, maybe the purple lightning has something to do with it.", replied Dave.
"Take cover in the Rustbucket!", Max warned as he ushered Gwen, Julie, and Kai with Wes running alongside Max and Dave with Ben and Emily left behind. Emily then turned to Ben and tried to snap him out of it.
"You heard him, Ben! We have to get back inside and hurry!", exclaimed Emily.
However, it did not work until purple lightning struck behind Ben and Emily, showing a sort of silhouette of a wolf-like being with glowing purple eyes, which stood up the moment Wes looked back.
"Anyone want to ask that thing for an umbrella?", asked Ben.
"Not I.", Emily replied.
Act II
The Yenaldooshi just towered above Ben and Emily before it ran off with Max, Wes, and Dave running up to them. After that, Wes turned around as did Dave before both noticed a flood of water headed towards Gwen, Julie, and Kai.
"Flash flood!", exclaimed Wes and Dave.
As Gwen went up the ladder to the top of the Rustbucket, the water passed by, pushing off a green trash can as Max, Dave, and Wes got up one side while Ben and Emily got up on another.
"You okay, Emily?!", exclaimed Dave.
"Yeah, Dad! I'm fine!", replied Emily.
Then, both Emily and Ben noticed the water dragging Kai away while Julie managed to get to safety and notice Kai in danger.
"Help!", Kai shouted.
"Hang on!", Julie shouted before she scaled her way across the rooftops and jumped in to try and get to Kai only to land into the water and re-emerge, unable to stop herself from moving due to the fast currents.
Emily then turned to Ben.
"We can't just sit here! We've gotta do something!", urged Emily.
Then, Ben activated his Omnitrix.
"Going Ripjaws!", Ben exclaimed.
Then, Ben slammed down on his Omnitrix, but, surprisingly, nothing happened.
Then, as Kai passed by them, being dragged by the water, Emily activated her Omni-Enhancer.
"Let me try this one.", Emily suggested.
Then, Emily pressed her Omni-Enhancer down before she began to grow pale green scales while her fingers and feet become webby. Then, afterwards, she grows an anglerfish-like antennae in her forehead before she grows gills and then her skin turns the same color as her scales. When the transformation was done, Emily was quite joyful.
"Yes! The Omni-Enhancer still works!", Mermarian exclaimed as she did a fist pump, peeving Ben.
"Oh, man!", Ben complained.
Then, Mermarian decided to focus on the task at hand.
"Look, we'll figure out what's wrong with it later, Ben. Right now, we have to help Julie save Kai.", Mermarian suggested.
Then, she dove into the flood and quickly shifted into her legs into a fish tail before swimming across as Ben had an idea of his own to make up for the lack of alien powers at the moment.
"Okay. Going by myself.", Ben decided before running across the rooftop.
As Mermarian swan across the waters, Ben stopped at one point, hopped off the rooftop, and landed on a green, careening barrel.
Meanwhile, Julie and Kai were still in imminent danger.
"Help!", Julie shouted.
Then, as Ben neared Kai, Mermarian got just behind Julie as Ben reached for her hand.
"Grab my hand!", Ben urged to Kai before Mermarian grabbed Julie, surprising her with a gasp.
"Don't worry! We're here to help both of you!", Mermarian assured Julie before giving her to Ben, who then helps her up the barrel with Kai pitching in.
Just in time, too, because they noticed the crate being crashed against the wall. Ben then knew the only thing that they can do.
"Jump!", Ben shouted before he, Julie, and Kai jumped off the barrel as Mermarian did the same and pressed her claws against the wall above the water before sighing with relief a couple of seconds after the barrel split in half just five feet from her.
Mermarian then turned to Ben, Julie, and Kai, who then turned to each other.
"Thank you, but can I...", Julie began before Ben interrupted.
"Repay me? Forget it. I'm one of those leap first, look second kind of guys.", Ben interrupted.
"Okay. What I meant was, can I have my hand back now?", asked Julie.
That puzzled Ben before he looked down to notice that his hand was holding on to Julie's before he then let go of it with a blush before both lifted their free hands up onto the wood as Mermarian giggled.
Then, Julie and Kai turned to Mermarian.
"Oh. You're the creature that helped saved us, right?", asked Julie.
Then, Mermarian blushed slightly.
"Well, that's one way to put it.", Mermarian replied.
"Who are you?", asked Kai.
"The name's Emily.", Mermarian replied.
Then, both Julie and Kai grew surprised, seeing Emily as a mermaid like alien in the storm.
"Wait. Weren't you human before?", puzzled Kai.
"Well, yeah. So?", asked Mermarian.
Then, she realized that Julie and Kai were worried about whatever happened to her being permanent.
"Oh. Right. You're worried about my being a mermaid-like creature being permanent, aren't you?", asked Emily.
"Yeah. Why wouldn't we be?", asked Julie.
Then, Mermarian giggled a bit before explaining.
"Don't worry. It's actually not very permanent. I'll prove it.", Mermarian stated before she leapt off the wall and then pressed the Omni-Enhancer on her chest, changing her back to Emily before she landed on the wood near Ben, Julie, and Kai, who were hanging on from underneath.
Julie and Kai were quite impressed.
"Wow.", Kai spoke in awe.
"That's actually not bad.", Julie admitted.
"See? I told you it wasn't permanent.", Emily said before lowering her body toward Ben, Julie, and Kai.
"Now, let's get you three to safety.", Emily suggested as meanwhile, the Yenaldooshi swiped the receiver dish as lightning struck amidst the rain.
Later, at night, Ben, Gwen, Emily, Max, Dave, Wes, Julie, and Kai were at some sort of museum, seeing a sort of poster of the Yenaldooshi with its own historical facts.
"I never thought I'd ever see one, Wes spoke.
Ben then turned to Wes.
"One what?", asked Ben.
"A Yenaldooshi.", Wes answered.
Emily grew puzzled.
"What does that mean?", asked Emily.
"Navajo Werewolf.", Wes answered before speaking further. "I thought they only existed in folklore. Their presence is a sign of pure evil."
Emily grew weary from hearing this.
"Well, that can't be good."
Then, Wes made a decision on what to do.
"I must find it. I'll tranquilize it, then bag it.", Wes stated as he cocked his tranquilizer gun at the ready.
"I'll go with you.", Max insisted.
"As will I.", Dave concurred.
"Count me in.", Ben agreed.
"I'll help out, too.", Emily stated.
Then, Julie and Kai turned to Wes.
"Same here, Mr. Green.", Julie insisted.
"Me, too, Grandpa.", Kai insisted.
Wes, however, only refused for one good reason.
"You know only braves can be trackers, Kai."
Gwen grew quite puzzled.
"Who made up that rule?"
"It's been that way for centuries.", Wes replied, surprising Emily.
"Wow. For that long?", Emily exclaimed.
"Yes, Emily. Times change, but traditions don't."
Then, he quickly thought back to a time when Emily helped Ben save Kai earlier in the form of Mermarian as Julie also tried to save Kai.
"You and Julie can come along if you like, Emily, but Gwen and Kai will remain behind."
Frankly, that puzzled Emily and Julie as Kai walked away while Gwen objected, or at least, beginning to.
"Wha?", puzzled Emily.
"But...", Gwen started before Max stopped her.
Gwen then looked up to Max before he spoke.
"Their land, their rules, Gwen."
As Max walked with Wes, Emily grew puzzled and wanted an explanation.
"So, why are you letting us go with you guys?", asked Emily.
"Because you two and Ben risked your lives to save my granddaughter.", Wes replied.
Then, Emily widened her eyes a bit and then blushed.
"Oh. You knew about that, huh?", Julie figured.
Meanwhile, Ben noticed that Julie looked a bit worried for Kai, who looked dejected.
"Julie seems bummed that Kai couldn't come. Maybe I could cheer her up.", Ben stated.
Frankly, Gwen was quite curious about why Ben was suddenly caring about her, until she realized the reason why.
"Since when do you care about what girls care a...bout? Unless you like her!", Gwen realized, surprising Ben.
"What?", Ben puzzled.
Then, Gwen got up on Ben's personal space and then poked her finger on Ben's face.
"That's it! Like you so 'like' like her.", Gwen figured.
Ben only shook his head.
"No way."
Then, Gwen mocked Ben in a sing-song voice.
"Ben's got a crush! Ben's got a crush!"
Ben only rebuffed even further.
"So not!", Ben rebuffed.
"So do!", Gwen stated otherwise.
"So don't. But if you're hanging around Kai or something, could you do me a favor?", Ben asked.
Gwen grew quite puzzled.
"What?"
"Sort of let it slip how cool I am. You know, that you're lucky to have me for a cousin.", Ben replied as he pointed his index finger to Gwen and then his thumb at himself.
Gwen realized where he was going with this.
"So, basically, you want me to totally lie?", asked Gwen.
Then, Ben grew slightly embarrassed with the truth and then answered.
"Well, when you put it that way, sure."
Then, he walked off to join Emily, Max, Julie, Dave, and Wes as Gwen gave a sort of worried look before turning back to Kai.
Later, Wes picked up a few tufts of the Yenaldooshi's fur before Max spoke.
"You know, this reminds me of when we went after the Yeti up in the Himalayas the time.", Max reminisced.
Frankly, that surprised both Ben, Emily, and Julie.
"Wait. That would mean...", Emily began to realize.
"You're a plumber?", exclaimed Ben.
"Was.", answered Wes as he stood up.
Julie grew puzzled as to where the prints lead to.
"So, where do the prints go?", asked Julie.
"It appears the prints lead this way.", Wes answered as he punted the way towards a crevice with what appears to be a small bridge connecting between the two big walls of rock.
Meanwhile, Gwen and Kai were talking about Ben and Emily.
"So, I guess my cousin and my friend saved you.", Gwen started.
"Yeah. They seem okay.", Kai replied.
Then, Gwen grew curious.
"By 'okay', do you mean, like, on a dorkmeter, at least Ben would only be a 9 out of 10?", asked Gwen.
Then, suddenly, there was an eerie wolf howl as Gwen and Kai looked toward the full moon.
Elsewhere, Wes, Max, Ben, Julie, Emily, and Dave peeped carefully and saw the Yenaldooshi scrounging on the broken satellite equipment before Wes decided to take aim and then aim the gun at the Yenaldooshi, who, unfortunately, heard the sound of a tranquilizer gun being armed before Wes shot out a tranquilizer, prompting it to duck the dart. Then, it dashed toward Wes, evading more darts, 2 or 3, at the most, before it leapt on top of the rock as Ben, Emily, Max, Wes, Julie, and Dave turned to see the beast before it leapt toward them and knocked them off the bridge with Max, Wes, and Dave off one side while Ben, Julie, and Emily get pushed off the other. As they fell, Ben and Emily activated their watches.
"Time to go pure Stinkfly!", Ben shouted.
"Good idea!", Emily shouted in agreement before both pressed their watches down. Then, much to Wes' surprise as well as Julie's, they saw Wildvine and Stenchbug.
"All right! Looks like I got lucky. Again.", Stenchbug stated.
"Aw, man!", Wildvine complained before grabbing Max, Dave, and Wes and then clenching onto a rock from the top before setting them down with Wes looking up.
"Good work, Ben. Now let's bag this big bad wolf.", Stenchbug stared as she flew up into the air to go back up to the bridge while Wildvine moved back up there as Wes and Julie looked to Max and Dave.
"Yeah, I know. We have some explaining to do.", Max figured.
"Well, how about we indulge you fellas, eh?", Dave suggested.
Then, as Stenchbug wentback in the bridge next to Wildvine, they looked toward the possible direction the Yenaldooshi went.
"He must've went this way.", Stenchbug figured.
Later, the Yenaldooshi was climbing up the mountain with its claws before it then ran on the mountain, only to be caught in green, sticky goo, prompting it to try to fire itself, but it did not seem to do any good.
Then, Stenchbug flew closer in front of the beast.
"Hey, Yenaldooshi! You might want to get off the lawn.", Stenchbug joked before Wildvine then grabbed the snout and body with his vines and lifted him up.
"Tag and you're it, Fangface!", Wildvine joked.
The Yenaldooshi, however, bit into Wildvine's vines, making him cringe a bit in pain, although, fortunately, it wasn't enough to break the skin.
"So, you lookin' for a tussle, are ya?", asked Wildvine.
Then, Wildvine dragged the Yenaldooshi underground before he went forwards for four seconds before propelling the Yenaldooshi up to the surface.
"Well, yee-haw!", exclaimed Wildvine as Stenchbug sprayed goo in the beast's face before he landed on the ground.
Then, just as Wildvine emerged from the ground, Stenchbug flew down to the ground and giggled before Ben's Omnitrix began to time out.
"Not now!", Wildvine complained before the red light enveloped him, changing him back to Ben just as the Yenaldooshi tore off the goo on his face and growled as it stared at Ben and Emily.
"Uh, that 'Fangface' nickname, I meant it in a nice way.", Ben spoke.
"Uh, yeah.", Stenchbug agreed.
However, the Yenaldooshi took no heed of it and then swiped at Ben and Stenchbug but missed.
"Let's go, Ben!", Stenchbug suggested right before she and Ben ran from the creature, who then roared as it quickly sped up to them.
Ben and Stenchbug yelled in panic as they shielded themselves with their left arms, causing the Yenaldooshi to scratch both the Omnitrix and the Omni-Enhancer on her chest, causing her to time out and revert back to normal form. After that, Ben and Emily bumped into the ground and then sat up just as Max, Wes, Julie, and Dave arrived.
"Ben!", shouted Max.
"Emily!", shouted Dave.
"Are you two okay?!", Julie shouted before Emily turned to see Dave and Emily.
"I'm okay! I was just scratched in the watch, not in the skin!", Emily yelled before she and Ben turned to see the Yenaldooshi running away and then hooping off before the others could catch up.
Then, Ben and Emily noticed their watches glowing yellow and spinning around in a clockwise direction, puzzling them.
"Well, this is weird. I'm sure it'll pass. Right, Ben?", asked Emily.
Ben only shrugged before he and Emily decided to head back to the Rustbucket with Emily more curious about it.
"Hmm.", suspicioned Emily.
Later, Ben turned to Gwen and Emily.
"So, Julie say anything about me?", asked Ben.
Gwen then gave a blunt, yet accurate response.
"Maybe. Maybe not."
Ben put his hands on his sides as he took slight offense to that answer.
"Gwen!"
"Just don't seem overly interested.", Gwen suggested.
Emily then answers as she sits down on the seat.
"Yeah. Girls can smell desperation a mile away.", Emily added.
Ben understood that frankly and then he and Emily turned to notice that the tourists were leaving.
"Right."
"Where are all those people going?", asked Emily.
Wes turned to the group and answered.
"Off the reservation. They fear the Yenaldooshi's return. And with tonight's full moon, its power would be greater than ever."
Dave couldn't agree more.
"And there's no telling what could happen when it gains power like that."
Ben had to lay down at least some reassurance.
"Well, after I went Wildvine on it, I'm sure it's long gone.", Ben assured.
Julie pointed at Ben's Omnitrix.
"Oh, yeah. I saw what you and Emily did back there.", Julie remembered.
"And my grandpa told me what you did.", Kai added.
Ben continued his playful conversation as Emily looked up at the full moon.
"Yep. It's just one of my many talents. I don't like talking about it.", Ben stated.
"I understand.", Kai spoke.
"But I'm pretty much this total superhero 24/7."
Then, Emily began to feel strange. If anything, itchier than usual.
"Uh, why am I itchy all of a sudden?", asked Emily.
The same conundrum occurred with Ben as Julie spoke to him.
"So, what things have you done recently?", asked Julie.
"You know, the usual, arrest criminals, take down aliens, save mankind-", Ben began to reply as he started itching.
Gwen decided to interrupt him and poke some irony as she stood up on the bench and acted like a monkey.
"Scratch yourself like a monkey?"
Julie and Kai noticed that Ben was very itchy and was somewhat concerned for him.
"Are you okay?", asked Kai.
"I'm fine. I just can't stop itching.", Ben replied.
Emily can literally feel his pain as she was itching too.
"Yeah, speak for yourself. I'm itching up a storm over here!", Emily exclaimed.
Ben turned to Gwen and had to ask for her help.
"Gwen, could you scratch my back for a sec?", asked Ben.
Gwen was obviously hesitant about the idea.
"My fingers on your back? Ugh, I'd rather pull out my nails one by one.", Gwen refused.
At that mention, at the same time Ben's skin color turned dark grey, although outside at night, it looks more like dark blue, Emily moaned as she went through that same phase and also grew black blue claws, earning her gasp before she looked down and noticed that her toenails turned into claws as well and that her hair had not only turned dark blue grey with a small tinge of a blue color, save for the left right and middle hair stands maintaining their silver color, but also grew twice as long as her usual hair size while also noticing that her ears had now become pointy and her teeth becoming sharp with two front sharp teeth showing outside her mouth. Then, she moaned again as she grew a long, bushy wolf tail with the end of it being colored silver while the rest is dark blue before she turned to notice it and gasped.
"What just happened to me?", asked Emily as she felt her own tail with her hands.
Then, she turned to notice that Ben is slowly developing those stages as well, apart from the lack of a wolf tail.
"Oh, man. It looks like I'm not the only one.", Emily stated wearily.
"Uh, Ben? Your face looks-", Julie started only for Ben to interrupt her.
"Handsome? Yeah, I get that a lot.", Ben assumed.
"Actually, more like really hairy.", Kai finished.
Emily then bent down to Ben.
"Yeah. Almost as hairy as I am.", Emily agreed.
Ben grew surprised about that upon seeing Emily's condition.
"Waah! You really are hairy.", Ben spoke in surprise.
"And you're not exactly looking any better either.", Emily responded.
"What are you talking about?", asked Ben.
"Just try looking at your hands.", the wolf girl suggested.
Ben did so, as complex as that request is and gasped upon noticing that he was changing as well. Gwen needed to know what is happening just as much as Ben.
"Ben, what's going on?", Gwen puzzled.
"I don't know!", Ben answered.
Emily carefully took time to examine her now Wolf-like body, although her human side is much dominant as Julie wanted to know for sure if it is another superhero.
"So, this isn't one of your superheroes?", asked Julie.
"I wish I..." , Emily started before she and Ben started howling.
"Nooooooooo!", Ben howled.
"Kneeeeeeeeew!", Emily howled right before she covered her mouth in a panic.
"Um, did that just come out of me?", puzzled Emily.
Act III
Ben was wiggling his toes as Emily scratched herself the way a dog normally does.
"Were you two bitten by the Yenaldooshi?", Wes asked.
"When I was Wildvine, but it didn't even break the skin, or, should I say, the root.", Ben answered with a finishing joke.
"Of course not. All I got was a scratch on my Omni-Enhancer. Other than that, that's about it.", the half werewolf replied as she continued scratching herself.
Wes then spoke to Ben and Emily.
"Young ones, this is nothing to make light of. The Yenaldooshi can create others in its exact image, and when it does, those followers will seek to destroy those closest to them.", Wes warned.
Gwen saw the bright side as ironic as it is.
"Lucky we don't like each other, right?", Gwen assured Ben.
Emily, however, was worried.
"But what about me and Julie?", asked Emily."
Gwen only widened her eyes a bit with a gulp and giggled nervously as Max wanted an answer as to how Ben and Emily can be turned back to normal.
"So, how do these two 'un-wolf'?", asked Max.
Wes knew only one solution.
"The only way to reverse its spell is to stop the Yenaldooshi.", Wes suggested.
Ben had a guess while Emily dismissed it.
"With a silver bullet?", asked Ben.
"Uh, that's in the movies, Ben. I think he was talking about a traditional way.", Emily guessed.
Wes knew that Emily is correct.
"That is right. You must dip the silver pendant in the juice of the Arbol del Matrimonio cactus and place it against its heart. And we must do it before tonight's full moon, or you and Ben could remain like that forever, Emily.", Wes worried.
Emily widened her eyes and gasped as Ben gulped nervously.
"We could be werewolves?!", exclaimed Emily.
"Forever?", Ben worried.
Kai decided to relay one more detail about it.
"The Navajo also believed that the Yenaldooshi is a god.", Kai stated.
Ben saw the bright side of the way things are now as Emily cautiously looked at her body once again in worry.
"You know, a little back hair is not so bad.", Ben admitted.
"Right now, I'd only feel better if I don't grow any back hair whatsoever.", Emily argued as she scratched herself a few times.
Then, Wes left to get the silver pendant.
"I will get the pendant."
Then, just as the cow mooed, Emily's stomach growled.
"Hey. Is anybody else hungry?", asked Ben.
"I feel really hungry. Like, 'werewolf' hungry.", Emily replied.
The cow mooed again as it was chewing a cud of grass.
Later, at the rustbucket, as Gwen and Julie were looking for info about the Arbol do Matrimonio cactus, Ben was putting milk and eggs in the bowl while Emily was having a plate of cotton candy frosted sugar cookies. Just as Ben was preparing to eat the eggs and milk, Emily opened her mouth, said "ahh", and ate together, making a mess with some of the eggs and milk landing on Kai and Gwen's laptop in the front for Ben's case and the pink and blue pieces of frosting from the cookies landing on Ben as she ate away, until he looked up to notice the mess he made, especially when it landed on Kai, who Ben offered a napkin to.
"Hehe. Napkin?", asked Ben.
Then, Emily swallowed the sugar cookies.
"Whoa! These are amazing!", Emily exclaimed.
Then, the laptop beeped, letting Gwen know that the webpage about the Arbol do Matrimonio cactus popped up.
"The Arbol del Matrimonio cactus."
As Kai was drying her face with a napkin, Emily simply licked her face clean with her tongue as Ben ran on all fours toward the fridge.
"Let's see what else I can wolf down. Get it? Get it?", Ben joked, making the she-wolf giggle.
Then, just as Ben sank his teeth, or rather, his whole mouth into the chicken, Ben had suddenly grown bigger with completely green eyes, dog-like ears, big muscles and a wolf-like nose as the same thing happened to Emily, sans muscles, with Gwen, Julie, and Kai looked on in surprise.
"Whoa.", Emily awed a bit.
"You both are looking more and more like a yenaldooshi.", Julie commented.
Ben then swallowed the chicken he finished eating and responded.
"Well, I still feel like just me."
Emily felt the same way.
"Yeah. Me, too, now that you mention it.", Emily concurred.
Then, he picked up a scent from outside and ran out before grabbing the top of the doorway and using it for support as he flipped backward up to the top of the rustbucket, noticing a rabbit from afar, who noticed him and squeaked in exclamation. Emily knew what that meant as she peeped out the door.
"This is bad.", Emily worried.
Then, as Ben ran toward it, Emily ran toward him and pushed him to the ground before pinning him.
"That's a little wild, even for you, don't you think?", Emily asked before she then released her clawed grips on Ben's wrists and walked over to the rabbit and petted it.
"Don't worry, little guy. It's okay.", Emily assured the rabbit.
Then, the female werewolf set the squeaking rabbit down gently, allowing it to return to its burrow, as Gwen walked over and poked some fun with Ben embarrassed.
"Guess you can teach a new Wolf dumb tricks.", Gwen joked.
"Uh, sorry.", Ben apologized.
Emily then giggled from Ben's slight embarrassment just as Wes explained the increasing situation.
"The NASA tracking station on the north ridge was just destroyed by some sort of werewolf. It almost ripped apart the guards there.", Wes informed.
Max wanted to know something about it as did Ben and Emily.
"What did it want?", asked Max.
"It took some satellite equipment.", Wes replied.
"And it ripped down that receiver you had here.", Ben replied.
"Yeah. I know from that kind of behavior it's after something, but I can't figure it out. What do you think it wants?", asked Emily.
Wes then stated the objectives.
"Obviously, it's angry that technology has invaded what it considers its sacred land. We need to find the yenaldooshi and find it fast!"
Kai, Julie, and Gwen had an idea.
"You won't be able to look for both the yenaldooshi and the cactus.", Kai relayed.
"So let Kai and me look for the cactus.", Gwen suggested.
"Once we find it, we'll call.", Julie assured.
Wes nodded before he came with Max as Ben, Emily, Julie, and Kai turned to Gwen.
"Be careful.", warned the group of four.
Then, Gwen was starting to get a bit tired about Ben's love for Julie.
"I think I'm gonna puke.", Gwen complained.
Later, Wes managed to draw an X followed by the two horizontal lines with the X in between them and one vertical line on its right.
"The NASA Station is west of here. It's surrounded by lakes to the North, South, and East.", Wes theorized.
"And by that logic, the Yenaldooshi should have come this way.", Dave added.
Then, Emily walked on all fours on the top of a rock.
"Let me see what I can do.", Emily suggested.
Then, Emily howled at the moon again, only willingly, as her ears dropped down a bit like a wolf's ears normally would, impressing Julie.
"Wow. You sound even nicer when you howl, Emily.", complimented Julie.
Then, the half wolf girl blushed as she responded with a nervous smile while her ears wiggled.
"Uh, thanks?"
Then, just after her ears stopped wiggling, the Yenaldooshi started howling in response.
"He must be this way.", Ben guessed before he and Emily leapt off the rock as Max, Dave, Julie, and Wes followed.
Later, Max, Wes, Dave, Julie, and Emily, who was now more beastly in appearance, were searching for the beast with a flashlight where Wes noticed that the trail ended.
"The footprints end here.", Wes stated.
Then, Wes had a suspicion that the Yenaldooshi is nearby.
"I sense its presence.", warned Wes.
Then, Emily began to pick up a familiar scent.
"I-I can smell it."
Then, Emily sniffed harder before she gasped upon realizing where the scent came from.
"No."
"What's wrong, Emily?", Julie asked.
"What is it?", Dave asked.
Then, Emily turned to her father and began to reply.
"Well, you see...", Emily began before Max thought he spotted the Yenaldooshi and shouted to Wes.
"There!", exclaimed Max.
Then, Emily spotted what seemed to be the Yenaldooshi and then tried to stop Wes as she flailed her arms around very quickly as the flashlight shine on both Emily and Ben, who apparently looked exactly like the Yenaldooshi now, but with green eyes, his clothes, and his Omnitrix.
"Wait!", Emily exclaimed.
"No! It's me! It's MEEEE!", Benwolf exclaimed before howling uncontrollably.
Dave figured that was what Emily was going to tell him.
"And that was what you were going to tell me, wasn't it?", asked Dave.
"Pretty much.", the wolf girl replied.
Then, Wes began to fear the worst and needed to find the cactus quickly.
"Your transformation is complete. We need the cactus.", Wes stated before checking his phone to find no WiFi whatsoever, evident by the message stating "No Service".
"No reception."
"So, now what?", puzzled Julie.
"We'll have to summon them another way.", Wes replied as he got out a flare pistol.
Meanwhile, Kai was giving Gwen certain facts about the canyon.
"The Canyon de Chelly is a sacred place. It's where our spirits go."
Gwen, however, was not quite in the "spirit" of finding the cactus.
"Well, maybe the spirits could help us find that cactus, because I'm about ready to give up.", Gwen complained before she sat down, accidentally sitting on the cactus they were looking for, causing her to jump in pain and land on the ground with some of the cactus stuck on Gwen's bottom, much to Kai's surprise.
"The Arbol del Matrimonio! I guess the spirits work in strange ways.", Kai figured.
"And painful ones.", Gwen complained.
Then, Kai got out her phone only to notice the same "No service" conundrum as she sighed.
"No phone signal.", Kai relayed.
Then, Gwen sat back up, removing the cactus' remnants before she and Kai noticed the flare from far away.
"Over there! They must be sending us a signal.", Gwen guessed.
Meanwhile, Wes had already sent the signal flare with Dave holding on to hope.
"I hope they found the cactus.", Dave hoped.
Then the Yenaldooshi appeared, evident by the tumbling of rocks on the pillar behind the group, earning a gasp from Max, Julie, and Emily. It growled before it jumped up and landed on the ground. Then, Emily glared at it with a growl similar to a puppy's as Ben figuratively barked at it.
"Who are you looking at, ugly?", Ben cockily asked.
Then, Wes spoke on what they need to do.
"Ben, we need the cactus to destroy it."
Then, the Yenaldooshi attacked first by leaping into Ben and Emily only for Emily to jump upward and dodge while Ben got pounced on before he kicked it off of him and got back up as the snowfall begin to pick up pace.
"Yeah, but it doesn't need anything to take us out.", Emily added.
The Yenaldooshi stood up and glared at Ben and Emily before it opened its mouth, literally splitting in four directions before it emitted an ultrasonic howl, knocking Ben, Emily, Julie, Max, Dave, and Wes back, although Emily managed to use her claws to grip herself onto a mountain rock for support and sighed in relief as Ben got back up.
"Guess its bark is worse than its bite.", Ben joked.
Then, he charged toward it and struck an attack before the beast retaliated only for Ben to knock it back and pin it, before the Yenaldooshi managed to turn around and pin him instead, causing Ben to struggle until Max came up and whacked it with a piece of wood.
"Back off, now!", Max shouted.
It then turned to, glared at, and walked toward Max, Dave, and Wes as Emily quickly got to Ben and helped him up.
"Are you okay?", asked the wolf girl.
Ben then stood up before he rubbed against his wrists while also noticing a slightly crucial detail.
"Well, apart from being pinned like that, good as new. Wait. It's not on my wrist."
Emily looked down to notice that her Omni-Enhancer was no longer on hers anymore, either.
"And the Omni-Enhancer's not on mine either."
Then, just as Ben looked around and noticed a couple of big rocks and picked them up before tossing them at the Yenaldooshi, Emily noticed the symbol badge on her chest, much to her surprise.
"What? It's on my chest now? How's that even possible? Unless...", Emily said before she gasped upon realization of what it means.
"Of course! Why didn't I see it before?", Emily exclaimed.
Meanwhile, the Yenaldooshi then turned to notice them and began attacking them again, but with Ben and Emily gaining the upper hand just as Gwen and Kai turned up with the cactus juice. Kai went to her grandfather as Emily swiped at the Yenaldooshi with her claws before lunging at it.
"Here!", Kai urged.
She gave the cactus juice to Wes, who then dipped the silver pendant into the cactus juice and clutched it before charging toward it as Ben and Emily were holding the Yenaldooshi, who noticed the pendant before it then released himself from Ben and Emily's grip, and tossed them toward Wes, Dave, and Max, only for Emily to recover and help Dave pick Max and Wes back up as Julie turned to Wes.
"Can you give me the pendant?", asked Julie.
Wes quickly obliged and handed it to her before she ran toward the Yenaldooshi, who was about to attack until Ben grabbed its arms and put them behind its back before Julie yelled out as she leapt upward and placed the pendant on its chest only to notice nothing happening to it, confusing the others while Ben looked on in worry.
"Wait. Shouldn't something happen?", puzzled Gwen.
Then, the Yenaldooshi broke free and tossed Ben over before leaping toward Gwen, who gasped and ducked with Max warning her.
"Look out!"
The Yenaldooshi then crawled up to the top of the mountaintop.
"I will let you live.", the Yenaldooshi spoke, puzzling Emily most of all.
"Wait. You can talk now? I'm not the only one hearing this, right?", Emily asked, turning to the others, who shook their heads in reply, stating that they're hearing it, too before Emily turned back to the Yenaldooshi as it spoke further.
"I want you to walk this Earth, knowing you had a chance to stop me, to prevent me from calling my master..,"
It then stepped backwards, eventually disappearing from the line of sight.
"...and failed.", the Yenaldooshi echoed.
As it left, Emily grew puzzled as to what the Yenaldooshi meant.
"Wait. What did that thing mean by 'calling its master'?", puzzled the werewolf girl.
Meanwhile, Wes was practically dumbfounded.
"I don't understand. That should have worked."
Emily then had an idea as she turned to Wes.
"Hey, Wes. Call me crazy, but I don't think it was a normal werewolf from Earth that we're dealing with right now.", Emily surmised.
Needless to say, Ben was quite confused.
"But, it bit and scratched us. Isn't that why we're like this?", puzzled Ben.
"Not exactly.", Emily replied.
Suddenly, both Ben and Emily started to shake a bit, growl, and land on the ground on all fours. Then, the two howled before their attires changed with the former attire becoming a short white clothing, covering only the chest, front and back for the top while the lower Body covered his waist and legs before the four lines develop as a sort of belt with the Omnitrix symbol appearing at the center as the latter became somewhat similar but with a light Cyan clothing and a dark blue outline. Gwen then saw Emily's point.
"Emily's right. Maybe you two aren't some Navajo werewolves. Maybe you two are some alien werewolves, which is why you two haven't been able to go hero, because you're already aliens.", Gwen realized.
Wes saw that as an explanation as well as Ben, who was also curious on another thing.
"That would explain that howl of his.", Wes guessed.
"And why the Omnitrix isn't on my wrist anymore. But how did we go alien then?", Ben asked.
Gwen had an idea, reminding them of what happened to the Omnitrix last time.
"Did that thing ever grab the watch or anything?", asked Gwen.
"Right. When we were fighting. Both times it scratched both watches with its claws, and it glowed yellow.", Ben realized.
Neither Dave nor Max could believe it.
"An alien werewolf.", Dave reacted.
"I know. Just when I thought this summer couldn't get any stranger.", Max agreed.
Ben felt as though he should've seen it sooner.
"Aw, man!", Ben complained.
"What's wrong?", asked Emily as she turned to him.
"Well, if I knew I could just go different aliens if they touched the watch, I'd have let them scratch it a long time ago. I'd be an awesome Vilgax.", Ben replied.
Then, Emily came up with a good name for this alien.
"Well, as long as we're talking alien names, how about the name for this alien being 'Blitzwolfer'?", Emily suggested.
Then, Ben thought about it before replying.
"Did you just get that name from the news somewhere?", asked Ben.
"Maybe. But at least that's better than Benwolf, that's for sure.", Emily replied as she shrugged and grinned.
Then, Blitzwolfer decided to come up with a comeback.
"Well, if this alien's gonna be called Blitzwolfer, how about I call your alien Lunawolf?", Blitzwolfer mocked.
"Done. I actually like that name.", Emily, now known as Lunawolf, replied.
Gwen was a little more concerned about Ben being himself.
"Well, right now, I'm just worried about you being Ben."
Then, suddenly, the Earthquake occurred, catching everyone by surprise. Wes has an idea that something big is going on.
"Something tells me we may have some other worries as well.", Wes figured.
Later, they were already at a cave, which eventually turned out to be full of bats as as swarm passed by, scaring Gwen, earning giggles from Lunawolf and Blitzwolfer.
Then, 5 minutes afterward, they were continuing onward when Gwen picked up a nasty smell.
"Do you smell that?", asked Gwen.
Lunawolf picked up the same smell.
"Yeah. Something does smell really weird, like barf and rotten eggs."
Blitzwolfer thought Lunawolf and Gwen were talking about his breath.
"What? My wolf breath's not that bad.", Blitzwolfer retorted slightly.
Julie then spoke next before Lunawolf picked up the smell and figured out where it's really coming from.
"I don't think it's coming from you, Ben.", Julie assured.
"She's right. I'm picking up a small hint of sulfur. That must be it.", Lunawolf guessed.
Wes knew what that meant.
"A sulfur smell is the sign of lava, but the volcanoes here have all been inactive for millions of years.", Wes stated.
Then, suddenly, the lava began to flow outward, causing the others to turn around with Lunawolf pointing at it as she asks a rhetorical question.
"So, then, that's not real lava?", asked Lunawolf as the lava began to flood the canyon.
Act IV
The group ran from the flowing river of lava as Max figured what must've happened.
"It must have reactivated the volcano somehow."
"Maybe it wants us off our land, one way or the other", Wes guessed.
Lunawolf, however, felt otherwise.
"I don't know about that. Earlier, it said it was calling its master. Either way, you are right about it trying to get rid of us!", Lunawolf stated as she quickly ran in all fours.
However, the group eventually reached a major gap on the rock-like catwalk just before Blitzwolfer turned to notice the lava river headed their way and even flowing out from left and right. He then turned to Gwen, Julie, Kai, Wes, Max, Dave, and Lunawolf.
"Time to see how far this big, bad wolf can jump.", Blitzwolfer stared before grabbing Gwen and Kai. "Who wants a ride?"
Then, just as Blitzwolfer hopped off with Gwen and Kai in tow, Lunawolf grabbed Dave and Julie.
"Come on!", urged Lunawolf before she leapt off the catwalk and landed Dave and Julie to safety with Gwen and Kai as Blitzwolfer got back for Max and Wes before he noticed the lava beginning to melt off the catwalk and grabbed them.
"I'll need to take both of you, and I'll need all the help I can get.", Blitzwolfer stated before his mouth split apart four ways, but in two different directions before he gave off a green ultrasonic howl on the ground.
Then, Max and Wes followed suit before Blitzwolfer fell off and timed out, worrying Lunawolf, Julie, and Max.
"Ben!", exclaimed Max, Julie, and Lunawolf.
Then, they ran over to notice Ben, back in normal, human form, clinging onto a support rock before they helped him back up. Ben then relayed the news to Gwen as Lunawolf pressed the badge on her chest, timed out, and reverted back to normal.
"The Omnitrix finally timed out, and check this out.", Ben stated as he activated the dial and showed a silhouette of Blitzwolfer in the center of the dial, giving Gwen an idea as to what that means.
"The watches absorbed its DNA."
"Welcome to the club.", Ben greeted Blitzwolfer's DNA.
Later, the group walked further into the cavern and finally noticed a way out.
"Look! A way out!", Gwen exclaimed.
"Finally!", Emily shouted.
"So, I wonder where all the satellite equipment he took is.", Max wondered.
Then, it wasn't long before footsteps near them were heard. Emily quickly heard the footsteps and grew anxious.
"What's wrong, Emily?", asked Ben.
"It's here.", Emily replied before the Yenaldooshi appeared, causing Ben to gasp a bit before she spoke to it.
"Alright, Yenaldooshi, tell us who your master is right now or-", Emily began before the beast interrupted.
"No human tells me what to do!", the Yenaldooshi shouted before it then split its mouth apart and shot a purple Ultrasonic howl at the group, prompting them to dodge it, causing said Ultrasonic wave to hit the rock.
Then, Emily turned to Ben.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?", asked Emily.
Then, Ben replied as he activated his Omnitrix.
"Yeah, going hero!"
Then, Emily activated her Omni-Enhancer and pressed it down before growing claws on her hands and feet as well as fangs, pointy ears, and a tail again while her skin turned dark blue gray again, but this time, it stopped at that point.
"Time to see what this wolf can do, Omni-Enhanced!", Lunawolf exclaimed before she turned the badge sideways, causing the badge to pop up before pressing it down.
Then, for Ben's case, he yelled out as a blue electrical spark emanated from his chest, after which his body began to be encased in blue energy. Then, rocks formed around him into armor before he became Shock Rock and then finished his pose. For Emily's case, though, her claws, arms, and legs began to be encased in blue energy before her tail becomes encased with blue energy as well and even had white lightning spark glows on the sides of it. When the transformations were complete, Lunawolf was thrilled about the upgrade, making her resemble a super-charged Yenaldooshi, except for her head, which stayed the same.
"Whoa! So amazing!", Lunawolf admired.
Meanwhile, Shock Rock was talking smack to the Yenaldooshi.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you, wolfie? Mess with the rock, you get the shock!", Shock Rock taunted.
Then, the Yenaldooshi growled angrily as he charged toward Shock Rock only to end up being slashed by Lunawolf's energized claws, shocking it before it got pushed back.
"Whoa! I had no idea I could be that strong!", Lunawolf admitted.
Then, Shock Rock created a blue energy-made bowling ball and rolled it toward the Yenaldooshi, who tried to stop it from hitting him, only to end up being shocked for about four seconds before it detonated, pushing the Yenaldooshi straight towards Shock Rock, who got pushed straight towards a wall, causing the group to wince and inhale sharply a bit.
"Okay, is it just me, or is it a bit cramped in here?", asked Shock Rock before he hopped off only for the lava to spew out, puzzling him and surprising Lunawolf.
"No.", Lunawolf gasped as Wes knew what would happen soon.
"We can't let this lava go down the mountainside and reach the village.", Wes urged.
Then, Lunawolf turned to Shock Rock.
"So, what are we supposed to do?", asked Lunawolf.
"I'll seal it all up. Go.", Shock Rock decided.
Then, the Yenaldooshi leapt up and attacked Shock Rock, pinning him to the ground, after which, the ground broke apart, separating him and Shock Rock from the others.
Looking down on the lava, Lunawolf had an idea.
"I've got an idea. Something from a book I've read."
As the Yenaldooshi leapt on Shock Rock, growing more tolerant with the shocks, Lunawolf pressed her claws against the ground and then shouted to Shock Rock.
"Ben, get out of the way!", exclaimed Luna Wolf.
"You don't have to tell me twice!", Shock Rock agreed before removing the Yenaldooshi from him before several pieces of debris landed on the beast as Shock Rock managed to get out of the crumbling rocks' path.
Then, Lunawolf took a deep breath before she began howling, while also blowing on the lava in all directions with the biggest ultrasonic howl that not only can be heard from far away, but also cooled the lava down rapidly in under 10 seconds with the blue energy bands emitted from the waves, after which the lava hardened into rock, impressing Shock Rock.
"Oh, yeah! Big Bad wolf power!", exclaimed Shock Rock, causing Lunawolf to grin and blush before the ground began to crumble.
"Yeah, we should get out of here.", Lunawolf warned.
"Good idea.", Shock Rock concurred before he caught up with the others quickly and then created a blue energy dome around the others as they ran.
When they made it out to notice it was still night out, dust blew out from the hole of the cave a moment later. When it cleared, Shock Rock lowered his dome as he planted out of breath.
"Are you okay?", Lunawolf asked.
"I think we can all agree...never to go inside caves...ever again.", Shock Rock panted as Max turned to him.
"Way to go, Ben.", Max complimented.
Then, Dave turned to Lunawolf.
"And that goes double for you, Lunawolf.", Dave complimented as she petted her in the head, making Lunawolf blush.
"Oh, Dad. You're making me blush.", Lunawolf stated just as sunrise came up.
Later, Ben and Emily were back to normal as Wes talked with a couple of locals before turning to Max with a smile.
"Good news. It seems a few people are returning. Thank you.", gratified Wes.
"Eh, it was nothing.", Ben replied.
Julie was quite curious about one thing.
"What do you think that alien wanted anyway?", asked Julie.
Max had no clue.
"Since we never found any of that satellite equipment or your receiver, I can't say for sure.", Max replied.
Emily even remembered what it said earlier.
"I do. It was gathering that equipment to call its master. Who that is, I don't really know.", Emily stated.
Then, Ben saw the bright side.
"Who cares? We kicked its butt. And now, maybe I can collect alien DNA."
"What a coincidence. Me, too.", Emily responded.
Dave saw how well Ben and Emily were getting along over the past month during this conversation.
"Honestly. They're like a couple of peas in a pod.", Dave sighed with a grin.
"Come in the museum. I can't send you on the road without a few souvenirs.", Wes offered as he ushered Max to come with him.
Then, Ben turned to Julie and Kai.
"It's a long summer. Maybe I'll see you guys again.", Ben spoke.
"Yeah. Actually...", Julie began.
However, Kai did not feel the same way as she interrupted.
"The thing is, Ben, you seem like a nice guy, but you're just not my type.", Kai responded, puzzling Ben and Emily alike.
"Huh?", puzzled Emily.
"I thought you really liked me.", puzzled Ben.
"Well, that was before you turned back into, well, you.", Kai explained.
"What's wrong with me?", puzzled Ben.
"Nothing, and the alien stuff's cool, too, but just as not as cool as when you were a Yenaldooshi.", Kai admitted, peeving Emily, Julie, and Gwen, although Emily was the most peeved as Kai continued.
"I figured I could train you, tame you, you know?"
"Train him? Tame him?! I'll show you a Yenaldooshi!", Emily exclaimed before she slammed her Omni-Enhancer down and turned into Lunawolf before she poked Kai a couple of times with her claw.
"He's a person, not a pet! You can't talk to my friend like this!", Lunawolf reprimanded.
"Thanks!", Ben grinned.
"Only Gwen can talk to him like this.", Lunawolf continued.
"Yeah. You just blew it big time.", Gwen concurred.
Then, Kai walked away as she seemed nonchalant as she spoke.
"Oh, well. Whatever."
Then, Gwen turned to Ben.
"The thing about a crush is, sometimes you get crushed. Don't worry. There's lots of other girls out there.", Gwen assured.
"You think so? How do I impress them as me?", Ben puzzled.
"Two secret words is all you need to know.", Gwen replied as she raised two of her fingers.
"Who knows? You've already done that with me. The least I can do is go with you guys and help whenever you need it.", Julie replied as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
Then, Ben realized what she meant.
"Wait. You mean...?", Ben began.
"That's right. I want to come with you guys.", Julie responded.
"You do? That's great!", Lunawolf grinned.
"Yeah, there's that. But you've got a crush on me, don't you, Julie?", figured Ben, embarrassing Lunawolf.
"What? N-No, I don't."
Then, Ben did the singsong voice as did Gwen.
"Julie's got a crush! Julie's got a crush!", both Ben and Gwen mocked.
"So not!", Julie exclaimed.
"So do!", Ben shouted.
"So don't. Well, maybe just a little bit.", Julie admitted.
Meanwhile, in the cave, just near the lava, the satellite equipment turned on, causing a swarm of bats to fly off from it.
A/N: So, what'd you think? Kind of a step-up, huh? Also, I'm going to improve "Secret of the Omnitrix" very soon by including Julie. Pretty cool, right? Until next time. :)
