Shouting out to:
1) Phantomsoul2015: It feels that way sure, but only since this is the prologue, the main chapters will be longer.
2) AwesomeMoorwen: That's a good question, I haven't decided yet. If I see an opportunity for one of those aliens, you can be sure I'll give it a shot.
3) Vividerdroid: Glad you think so :)
4) Kambinghaven10: Yes, vampire Ben is more ruthless, he couldn't give 2 shits about collateral damage. Basically when the Omnitrix absorbed Inner Moka's DNA sample, it made a male version of her. As such, its kinda like Ben has a Rosario of his own and inside is his vampire form, opposite persona included. I'd tell you more, but I don't wanna spoil the surprises I'm planning ahead.
Sand... that's all the 2 girls saw. There were a few rock formations as well, not that it helped determine where... or when... they ended up. "Ow... what happened?" Asked Moka, getting up and brushing herself off. "Wherever this is, I got a feeling we're not in Japan anymore" said Kurumu. "Japan? I don't think we're even on earth" said the Rosario. "Your kidding, right?" Asked Moka, beginning to worry. "Um, no I'm not" said Kurumu. "No. Not you, Kurumu. Her" said Moka, pointing to her Rosario. "Oh, well what does she think?" Asked Kurumu. "She doesn't think... this is earth either" said Moka.
Kurumu would have laughed at the ridiculous statement, but she knew that Inner Moka was as smart as she was powerful, so she didn't question her theory. The 2 girls then covered their ears because they heard ringing noises for unknown reasons. Guess they weren't the only ones here, but something about the ringing sensation felt... and sounded... familiar, somehow...
(AN: At this point onward into the other chapters, read my custom theme song to get the mood right. Totally optional for you of course, but it gets me hyped up. For new readers that haven't read it, I'll put it here for you just this once. Listen to the original Ben10 theme song and follow along, let me know what you think!)
{Instrumental}
It started when an alien device did what it did...
(Ben, as a 10-year-old, reaches for a "watch" and it clamps onto him.)
and it stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid.
(Ben grows up into a 15-year-old, and he changes into his Vampire Form.)
Now older and with powers, he's no ordinary kid!
He's Ben 10. (and a vam-pire)
Enrolled at a school of monsters, their in for a big surprise...
(Mizore, Ruby, Kurumu and Yukari enter. With Yukari and Kurumu pulling each others hair all the while. Ben and Moka appear, about to kiss or Moka for his neck, but Kokoa gets in-between them with Kou.)
he'll turn into an alien before their very eyes!
(AN: Use your imagination at this point, think of any alien he's changed into.)
He's slimy, creepy, fast and strong...
he's every shape and size!
He's Ben 10! (and a vam-pire)
Now stationed in Japan, he's on the case!
Still fighting evil on earth, and space!
He'll never stop till he grad-u-ates...
cause he's the only one, who can save the DAY!
BEN 10! (and a vam-pire!)
{Instrumental}
(Scenes from the first fic flip every few seconds. At one point, Ben transforms into his Vampire Form while at the same time pulling Moka's Rosario off.)
Inner Moka: Know... (jumps off-screen)
Ben (Vampire Form): Your... (jumps off-screen)
Both: PLACE! (Inner Moka's foot and Ben's Vampire Form's fist collide and cause an explosion)
{Song end}
Prologue: Page 2
Despite landing in an unknown location, the Highbreed continued to attack Echo-Echo and its clones. After the living MP3 player dodged his assault, he attempted to strike again, in which an Echo-Echo responded by shouting a sonic storm, pushing the Highbreed back. Suddenly, the ground shook and seconds later, a large Mongolian Death Worm-like creature shot up from the sand.
Random Bat: WEEEEE! (appears in front of the worm-like aliens mouth) You know who I am, its me Kou and boy, its great to be back! This worm-like alien is a Dravek; a huge, mean predator. When hunting, they prefer to sallow prey whole, but they have a row of razor-sharp teeth just in case. They can also burrow at incredible speeds despite their size. And... (Dravek closes its mouth over Kou)
Echo-Echo #2: The hell? Was that Kou?
Dismissing that thought, Echo-Echo jumped away to avoid the Dravek's jaws from swallowing him. The Echo-Echo clones screamed sonics at the large insect, but it didn't seem to work. Diving back into the sand, it shot up seconds later and caught an Echo-Echo, droping it "down the hatch". Apparently Draveks' don't like the taste of bodysuits that contain living sound-waves, so it spit the Echo-Echo up into the others, making a bowling ball knocking into bowling pins sound.
Turning its attention to the fleeing Highbreed, the Dravek charged at it, an Echo-Echo managed to grab its tail at the last second. The Highbreed shot darts at it, but they had no effect either. The sand-worm was catching up fast, its mouth now directly above the Highbreed... "Look out" called Echo-Echo, saving the Highbreed by using a sonic scream at point-blank range on the worm on top of its head. It worked, the Dravek felt sound-waves go all the way down its body, immobilizing it. The Highbreed then shot more darts into it while it was vulnerable.
Deciding that these 2 tasty-looking snacks weren't worth the trouble... or the pain, the Dravek dove back under the sand and for a lack of better words, it swam away. "What was that thing?" Asked Echo-Echo, the clones entering its body. "A Dravek. Their kind are numerous on... er, in this planet" the Highbreed answered. "Then we better get moving" said Echo-Echo, walking past the officer.
"We?" Asked the Highbreed. Surely this sad excuse for a being didn't mean... "Yes... WE. You couldn't defeat it alone, I couldn't defeat it either. If more of them come, we must work together" said Echo-Echo. "I will do no such thing" the Highbreed stated. "I don't like this anymore than you do, but if we want to ensure our survival, we have to try. So, um... how DO we get off this planet, whatever its called?" Asked Echo-Echo.
"We are on Turrawuste, a desert world. It's only good for a relay station. The damage must have shifted the teleporters focusing axis and brought us further out than it should have" said the Highbreed. "So if we find it, can you fix it?" Asked Echo-Echo. "There will be no need, we just to avoid smashing it, like with a rock" said the Highbreed. "Ok, so where is it?" Asked Echo-Echo. "Impossible to tell from out here" said the Highbreed. Echo-Echo then climbed up a rock formation. "For you maybe" he said, letting out a sonic scream.
A moment later, a light flashed in the distance. "That way! It'll take a day or 2 to reach on foot. Let's get moving!" Said Echo-Echo.
-TIME BREAK-
Near the bottom of a hill, a red object is seen swimming around. The camera then focuses on 2 life-forms on top of said hill. "UGH! It's so hooooooooot! And it's not because I'm here either!" Complained Kurumu. She and Moka didn't know where they were, so they decided to follow the sound they heard earlier. Kurumu, who watched one too many scary movies thought that was a BAD idea, but they had nothing else to go on where they were so hopefully the sound would lead to a village or something.
"Ugh... I'd rather deal with Kokoa's daily schemes than listen to Kurumu bitch and moan" said Moka's Rosario, though Inner Moka never got a response back. Going off topic for a sec, Kokoa is Moka's younger sister. Her hot-headed, crazy and over-dramatic sister. She showed up at the school suddenly and demanded to see her "real sister", but that choker held onto that cross tighter than a dolphins blowhole or for you older readers, tighter than a virgin. She wasn't to happy about that, and got pretty violent when she didn't get her way.
VERY violent.
She's even been using the narrating bat as a weapon, it had the ability to shape-shift like Ben did. A few weeks ago, Kou seemed to have run away, no one knows where he went. "Kurumu, I'm hot too, but lets just keep moving" said Moka, who was also getting tired from the succubus' groaning. "WHYYYYYYYYYYYY?! Can't we just take a little rest? We've been walking for hours!" Kurumu groaned. Moka just blinked, Inner Moka wold have too if she was out.
"Kurumu... it's only been 5 minutes" said Moka. Kurumu was either blushing from embarrassment or the heat. "Ugh... maybe she's right, these are too big." (AN: You should know enough about these characters by now to know who said that) "Kurumu! LOOK!" Shouted Moka. "What n...?" Kurumu asked, but looking up from squeezing her... jello cups, she saw the same thing Moka did...
WATER! A pond of it! Their instincts kicked in and they ran to it, hoping it wasn't a mirage like they've seen back in Bellwood's movie theaters. American movies weren't as explicit as Japan's in sexual content, but they had an odd sense of humor.
Then... the 2 Japanese girls felt the ground below them vibrate...
-TIME BREAK-
"I don't get if I know the way, why do I need to be the one 10 paces behind?" Asked Ben. "Since I'm forced to travel with filth, I'd rather not see it rub it's behind" said the Highbreed. To recap, while Ben was Echo-Echo, he had an itch in said location. The Highbreed didn't like it for some reason, everyone gets an itchy butt sometimes, right? "Oh, that's all it was? Sorry, I had an itch. Besides, I was in a full-body suit. Not like I touched my actual flesh" Ben tried to defend himself.
Then they both heard screams... girl-like screams...
"I thought you said no one else is here?" Ben asked. He couldn't put his finger on it, but didn't those screams sound like...? No, it couldn't be! They were back in Japan miles, no... light years away! Exhaustion from the heat left him, and he ran toward the sound in a full sprint. "Where are you going, human?" Asked the Highbreed. When he didn't get an answer, he groaned and followed. He hated to admit it, but this human was wise beyond his years, they DID have to stick together for survival, but how was that supposed to work if he ran after everything that made a sound?
Ben saw it, but he couldn't believe his eyes. It must be the heat, yeah that was it. His mind was just playing tricks on him like that explorer from the movie he saw over the summer with the girls. He blinked to try and shake off this illusion... no dice... this was real... and so were they! Not wasting another second, Ben turned in his watch, picked an alien and slammed down. "BIG CHILL!" He flew towards toward 'them' as fast as his wings could carry him.
No! 5 Black pillar-like towers closed in on "them", he wasn't gonna make it...but he had to try! He was getting closer, he could see "them" clearer. It WAS them! How did they get here? From where? And why? 'No time for that! I'm coming! Moka, Kurumu!'
He didn't notice it, but for some reason his Omnitrix symbol began to glow...
ANNNNNNNNNNND CUT! MUHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, I couldn't resist leaving you hanging. Even prologues have cliffhangers in them. Can Ben make it to Moka and Kurumu in time? And even if he does, will or will he not be able to send them back home? Find out on the next page!
