WARNING! WARNING! This page has mild blood, you've been warned...
And of course,
1) Shout-out to Guest #1: Awe, I'm sorry to see you go. :( My instincts tell me your the one who wanted Whampire to appear. Actually if I write write a third fic, I will have him in it. No promises on third fic ladies and germs, let's take this one step at a time.
2A) Shout-out to The Brod Road: HA! Superkick party, I LOVE IT! I'll consider this.
2B) Shout-out to The Brod Road: Now that I'm reading it over, looks like you got a point. I do kinda see Mark Hamill in there, I didn't intend it though. That's why I like viewers reviewing, I WANNA know their interpretations of my writing. So everyone else, be a doll and leave one like this, would ya?
3) Shout-out to Guest #2: He will, but he can't just leave the DNAlien problem unattended.
4) Shout-out to PE (though I think your BucketHead Wendy): Don't take this the wrong way bud, but unless your gonna flame me or leave a review that actually MEANS something to the story, don't bother. I don't have time nor the need for BS "reviews".
Before I get yelled at if anyone reads too much into BucketHead's/PE's review. No, I'm not saying Jesus is BS, the review itself was. Now back to the show.
Prologue: Page 7
"Kurumu, I swear, if you..." Inner Moka protested, but her voice went unheard. Kurumu slowly grew her nails out and in simple terms, she pricked her nail on a spinning wheel, or in this case a man's chest. Ben grunted in slight pain, but he knew she'd have to go deeper if this plan was to work. Of course, there was a chance it wouldn't, but still... "Keep... going" Ben manged to get out, surprising the alien and the 2 monster women. For a human, he sure had a high tolerance for pain... that, or he WAS a masochist.
"But..." Kurumu said, but Ben urged her to continue. Reluctantly, she did. Growing her weapons out a little more, she went through his ribs, causing blood to drip out her lovers skin. Inner Moka knew he was both brave... and a little hard/Diamond-headed, but his endurance for a painful wound was incredible. And the fact that he allowed it to continue while fighting his body's natural instincts added to her shock, and slight admiration.
But she wouldn't be caught dead saying that to his face, she'd rather have vampire Ben call her more embarrassing/unwanted pet names.
Reinrassic was also caught off guard by this "inferior", resisting every muscle in his body that was most likely telling him to get the hell away. Ben-Ben Tennyson's shaking proved that, perhaps they were not so lesser as he thought. He doubted he'd allow someone to cause him harm and even if he did, he further doubted his ability to fight his own body's demands of self-preservation.
Ben was getting annoyed, or was it his "fight or flight" response? Nevertheless, he had to get Kurumu to REALLY hurt him. Blech, it tasted bad even in his thoughts, but he had no choice. "K-Kurumu... grow them out... now!" He said in enormous agony, he tried to keep his cool but it wasn't working. If this continued, his subconscious might take over and break away from his 'tormentor'.
Then... it would be Game Over.
"I'm sorry, Ben. I just can't do this anymore. It's hurting me... so much" said Kurumu, tears welling in her eyes. As sorry as Ben felt, he had other priorities, mainly saving a hand that's becoming un-savable with each passing second. He didn't want to resort to this, but he reached back... grabbed her ponytail... and pulled, VERY hard.
Because of the sneak attack by Ben and the pain from it, she lost consciousness over her claw growth and pierced Ben... straight through. Have you ever been slapped so hard, the sound was knocked outta ya? Well, add blood gargling in your mouth and stabbing pain in 5 places on/in/out of your chest. No sound came out of Ben's open mouth, scarring Kurumu and Inner Moka (Reiny didn't show such an emotion, but he was generally concerned it seemed), but a beeping noise came from below.
Not wasting anytime, Ben slapped it.
The camera focuses on Reinrassic's hand in the cold water...
a green flash is seen from off-screen...
...
...
...
It is picked up by a green hand, attached to a green body. Ben, now Swampfire again, carefully removed it from the medical bag and reattached it to the Highbreed. Using his vines, he fastened the loose limb back into its rightful place, hopefully the sideshow with Ben's vampire form didn't take up too much time. Once Doctor Swampfire finished the surgery, he changed back into his normal self.
"Is it better?" Asked Ben, hoping he fixed the problem. Reinrassic's hand, and arm, was now green. Testing his ligaments in his arm, he was shocked and relived that they still functioned properly, as if his hand was never amputated in the 1st place. "Why... why would you help me? Even after I threatened to destroy you and your mate, she helped me as well" asked Reinrassic, very confused. "Why would you help us?" Ben asked. Then, he realized what Reiny said. "Oh you got it all wrong, she's..." he said, but his mouth was covered by his 'mate'.
"Oh, don't be so modest sweetie. That's just how we roll" said Kurumu. Reinrassic was going to say: "but your not rolling", he then thought it was what humans call 'slang' and just ignored it. "But Kurumu, we're not..." Ben tried to explain, but he was stopped by a nail at his throat. "Deny, and I'll steal your heart... and package away" Kurumu whispered to him, making the human shut his mouth with a gulp. (AN: Was her last line too much? I thought it was good for humor, you tell me your opinion)
"Humph, it was in my best interest to stop that creature from harming you, for my own protection of course" stated Reinrassic. Ben, now out of Kurumu's death grip, smiled at the Highbreed. "Yeah? Well its in my best interest to help anyone who needs it" he said. Reinrassic didn't answer, he just turned around and sat. Inner Moka got out her Rosario. "Humph, and you all call me arrogant" she said, putting it back on.
-TIME BREAK-
Morning has risen and light returned to the dark, desert-like world. Walking over a hill, the 4 travelers see another rock formation, with a doughnut-looking rock in the middle. "Is that...?" Asked Moka. "That's our way home. C'mon guys!" Said Ben, happy they can finally return home. They began to approach the object, when someone wasn't moving... Reinrassic.
"Really? 10 paces again?" Asked Kurumu, somewhat annoyed. "I thought we were past that, we've been walking side-by-side all night" said Moka. "Let's go, we can get back to our lives" said Ben. Reinrassic didn't answer right away but when he did, he spoke in a soft tone. "Go home, I shall remain here" he said. "But why?" Asked Moka. "I mean, there's the teleporter, we can finally get out of this sand trap" said Ben.
"I have spent too much time with you all, I have become contaminated" said Reinrassic. "Contaminated?" Asked Ben, not understanding. "You poor thing, are you sick?" Asked Moka. She would have reached and touched his forehead, but the size difference prevented this. "Yes. Clearly evidenced by my uncharacteristic behavior. Risking my own life to save yours" said the Highbreed.
"I've obviously been infected by your lesser influences, and now I am unclean" he continued, holding up his fixed arm. "Reiny..." said Ben. "Even if that's true, why stay here?" Asked Kurumu. "Self-imposed exile, for I can never return home, I could infect the rest of my kind. To return home, would be certain death for me. The only honorable choice... is to stay here. Because all other life forms, other than unadulterated Highbreeds, must be expelled! Including myself" Reiny said, explaining his reasoning.
The 3 high school students didn't expect this in the least, this guys pride and beliefs were harder than diamond.
"That's still no reason to basically commit slow suicide in the Sahara Desert!" Said Moka, not accepting Reinrassic's answer. "I thought we've gotten through to you, that you've changed" said Ben sadly, he really thought that he understood his Highbreed 'ally'. "This much is true... I HAVE changed. And now... I must pay the unfortunate price" said Reiny, walking up to the transportation device. Activating it, Reinrassic turned back to the group. "It is ready."
Ben, Kurumu and Moka looked at each other in sadness. They knew this was going to happen eventually, didn't make the emotions easier to deal with. "Guess this is goodbye again, huh?" Said Ben, but the only answer he got was 2 girls tightly hugging him... with tears streaming down their faces like Niagara Falls. "Your parting ways?" Asked Reinrassic, he assumed they'd go back together. Humans/Monsters were so confusing. "It's... complicated" said Ben. He got free of the hug and walked away, with both girls' hands running off his arms. He got up to the portal, looked back one last time... and jumped through.
-TIME BREAK-
On earth, Kevin finally fixed the teleporter pod, at least he thought so. No matter what he tried, he couldn't activate it. "Ugh, I can't get it to turn on" said Kevin. "You gotta keep trying, Kevin. We have too..." said Gwen, but that's when the device roared to life. Kevin jumped back, not knowing what was happening.
A form popped out... a human form...
"BEN!" Said Gwen, running over to hug her cousin, she was glad he was ok. "You gave us quite a big scare, mister: I'm all over it" Kevin joked, giving Ben a nooge, but even he was glad his younger comrade was back. "Where's the Highbreed, did it get away?" Asked Gwen. With a frown, he answered: "I doubt it."
They all turned to leave...
...
...
... the portal reactivated!
"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!"
CRASH!
"Ow, what the...? Moka?!" Said Ben, part of him was happy but the other was clearly not expecting this. Moka Akashiya, the girl-next-door vampire... HERE!
"DON'T FORGET MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
CRASH/SMOOSH! (AN: Yes, both girls are currently on top of Ben)
"Kurumu?! What are you guys doing?!" Asked Ben, stunned with both joy and shock. "We're staying here, silly! I can't leave my dear Mate of fate all alone with aliens running around!" Answered Kurumu. "And... well, we don't want to say goodbye just yet Ben. Please let us stay with you!" Moka begged. Ben's imagination began to run wild, having 2 gorgeous women on you will do. New adventures, fun activities, some alone time with... he cut that train of thought before his mind went further.
He just sighed... how was he gonna explain this to his mom and dad?!
Those puppy-dog eyes the girls gave him stabbed him in the heart, allot deeper than Kurumu's claws just did a few hours ago. "... ok, but only until..." he was cut off, by the breasts of 2 drop-dead beautiful girls. "OH, THANK YOU, BEN! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Said Moka and Kurumu at the same time, that's when sparks flew between their foreheads.
"Well, this'll be interesting, right Kevin? Kevin?" Asked Gwen looking next to herself, then down... a poor man was passed out on the warehouse floor. Gwen looked at the camera and shrugged. Of course, the 2 dvias were pulling the other back and forth.
"He's mine!"
"No, he's mine!"
"He'd rather have mine than your perky tits!"
"I met him first!"
"Well, I SAW him first!"
"That doesn't make any sense!"
"Your 2 different sizes don't make sense!"
"Ben's MINE!"
"MINE!"
"MINE!"
"MINE!"
"HE'S MINE NOW, AND MINE FOREVER!"
CHUUU!
"AW, COME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!"
HA! Classic comedy of a fainting person, and ending Chuuu gag. Can't beat it :P
And that's a wrap for the prologue. I was going to have Reiny join them, but I felt that would be too easy in the long run for them, having a guy from the inside tempted me to do a BIIIIIIG time skip, and I promised I wouldn't do that. But don't worry Reinrassic fans, he will appear again.
Now with Kurumu and Moka joining the fight, who knows how things will turn out? As for the other harem members, they will return as well, but not yet. I have a few ideas, but I will accept any of yours, just leave them in a review or PM me! :)
The main story now begins, see ya then! :D
