I just realized, Ben doesn't have a 2-story house XD. But for the fic itself, I'm keeping it. And...

1) Shout-out to The InvisibleMan: Great to hear you enjoyed that, let me get another *cup shatters on floor*. Well, we've seen part of Julie's reaction already. Oh, how your gonna love what I have planned for her!

2) Shout-out to Cpt, Murphy and other Trollers (although this review is for chapter 1): From now on, I'm ignoring these reviews. Sadly, it appears you have nothing else better to do in your lives than try to annoy me. I'm a carefree man, so dumb-ass reviews from dumb-ass people don't effect me.

Another week flew by, and it was a crazy one: Big Chill's form taking control of Ben to give birth to baby Necrofriggians' (which the girls, even Inner Moka, thought were cute. They humorously joked about Ben possibly becoming a great mom 2 days after the fact), meeting Professor Paradox, and rescuing the baby Upgrade/Mechomorph named Ship from the Forever Knights.

Yup, just another day in the office for our favorite American hero.

...

...

...

But those days might be over, cause his mother and farther just caught him transforming into an alien to fight another one! If that wasn't enough, they also saw Moka's and Kurumu's true forms. Uh oh...

(AN: Start my theme song)

Chapter 2: Grounded + Vampire

They are currently on the couch after coming home from the movies, and Ben got a black eye from JT and Cash. The gig was up when Ben's father, Carl asked: "Was that before, or AFTER you fought the giant alien creature?" Yup, totally and utterly busted.

"... which allows me to access genetic codes of extraterrestrial forms and use them for 10 minutes at a time to fight the DNAliens' from taking over the earth. Oh, and Moka and Kurumu are monsters" Ben said, explaining to his parents how he did what he did. He even threw in Moka's and Kurumu's status, since his parents saw them fighting away. "We're sorry we lied to you, but you never would have believed us" said Moka, bowing. "We wouldn't do it again" said Kurumu, bowing.

"And this become your jobs WHEN?" Carl asked. "It was when you met these 2, wasn't it?" Sandra said, jumping to conclusions. Sure, she loved those girls like daughters she never had... but her son was her top priority, he's still only human. "Don't blame them mom, I didn't know them back then. It all happened 6 years ago during the summer with grandpa..." Ben started, but his dad jumped in. "DAD?! Of course, that's so typical! Me and your uncle Frank knew he was more than a Plumber, and he lied to us for years!"

"It's our own fault, we were too permissive, and our only son is out there risking his life needlessly!" Said Sandra. "Wait, you got it all wrong. Ben's not needlessly doing it, he NEEDS to do it!" Said Moka. "If he doesn't, the whole universe along with yours and our world will be destroyed!" Said Kurumu. "Besides even if I wanted to, the Omnitrix is attached to me, it doesn't come off" Ben explained. Ben's farther took it the wrong way, taking it as a challenge. "Oh don't worry, it WILL come off!"

-TIME BREAK-

BUZZZZZZZZZ-SNAP!

Sawblade #22, denied. After 2 hours of pliers, saws, knifes and even a scissor... Carl was now convinced Ben wasn't being a rebellious teen, but rather telling the truth. "Ok... it's not coming off" he said, defeated. "Told ya so" said Kurumu, she and Moka were called in after the 11th attempt to get the watch off, but even their monster strength wasn't enough. Good thing his mom and dad didn't realize Inner Moka was a separate persona, she would NEVER take an order from a human, even if her softer side was living with them.

She has been listening to Ben allot though, whether its because she agreed with him at the time or set aside her pride for him wasn't very clear. Or maybe because he was the only one who could free her, her honorable side felt like she owed him. Still, she was a puzzle, unsolvable most of the time.

"Alright then, for now on, your forbidden from using the Omni-tax" said Carl. "Omni-TRIX, dad" said Ben. "Whatever, understand?" He asked, though he started walking out. Poor guy, when a man's tools can't do their jobs, it hurts them as much as not getting some lady action. "Wait, Mister Tennyson!" Called Moka. "The universe is counting on me and I..." Ben said, but a cold glare from his father stopped him. He then slammed the door and went back inside.

"Well, that went well" said Ben's vampiric mind and Moka's Rosario.

-TIME BREAK-

Laying on his bed, Ben was just chilling with his eyes closed. Kurumu and Moka were with him, since they shared the room (NOT the same bed, Ben's mom enforced this rule with an iron fist). Moka had an ice pack on Ben's black eye, though Kurumu had other ideas...

SMOOSH!

"ACK! What the hell, that was cooooooo...!" Said Ben, backing into his headboard. He went slightly buggy-eyed, she was wearing her yellow bikini with ice in the cups... and with something poking them wasn't helping either... it wasn't the ice. "That's the point, sexy! Why settle for that old school thing, when you can get something soft and squishy?" She asked huskily, her hand went for the strap around her neck in a teasing fashion.

"Kurumu, get off Ben! He's injured and I'm trying to take care of him" said Moka, trying to keep her voice down. Sandra told them no loud noises, she didn't want Ben in anymore trouble than he was now. "Well, I am too" the succubus continued, she then crawled over to Ben VERY seductively. "There's nothing that a nice... cold... juicy ice pack to make the pain go away... right, Ben" she said, now on top of him. Her face was a deep color of red, so was Ben's. "Go ahead... pick one..." she dangled her 'ice packs' in front of his face.

RING! RING! RING!

"E-e-e-excuse me" said Ben; pushing Kurumu off by her stomach, reaching for his cell phone and walking up to his bedroom window. Hearts danced in Kurumu's eyes. 'He touched me, he REALLY touched me!' She thought, her belly was close enough for her it seemed... as well as for the fuming vampire too. "Hello?" He said, not noticing his 2 girls that were friends starting to slap-fight.

"Yeah, hate to bother your beauty sleep, but we got a problem" came the voice of Kevin. "You got a problem? My ma and pa found out about the watch, they saw me battling today. Moka and Kurumu too, they won't let me use the Omnitrix" Ben said, still not noticing the 2 girls hair-pulling.

"Parental problems, eh? Rough dude, almost as rough as getting our asses handed to us BY THE DNALIENS!" Shouted Kevin's voice. "Ok, ok, I'm on my way" Ban said, hanging up and turning around... and sighed. "Can you guys knock it off?" The 2 monsters' stopped what they were doing, which was hitting each other with Ben's pillows, and blushed in embarrassment.

Eh, they can clean the feathers when they get back.

-TIME BREAK-

Walking downstairs, Ben told his mom and dad that he was going to "study" with Gwen. Moka and Kurumu even threw in the magic word "physics", for extra incentive to allow them out. When the friends were a few houses away, Ben used the forbidden watch to change into: "ECHO-ECHO!" He felt bad about lying to his mom and dad AGAIN, but was there any other way? He was about to take off, when he noticed Kurumu and Moka trying to tell him something using gestures rather than words.

"What? Speak up guys, I can't..." that's all he managed to stay when a bright light appeared from behind him. 'Don't turn around, don't turn around' thought the white stereo. "Benjamin... Kirby... Tennyson..." said a stern, and very pissed female voice. Recognizing the voice and having no choice in the matter now... he slowly turned... to face his father holding a flashlight and his mother with her hands on her hips. "Aw, man!"

Needless to say, his mama and papa sent him back to his room, along with the 2 monsters'. Yes, she used the word monsters', the tone of her voice hit our favorite heroines hearts dead center. While back inside, the humans' parents started the talk... no, not THAT talk, the one about a bad crowd. "What? No, mom" Ben answered. "Are they telling you its 'cool' to turn into alien lifeforms behind your parents back?" Asked Carl. "I want to know who this bad influence is, right now. There parents need to now whats going on!" Said Sandra, giving Ben what he called: The Mom Look.

Ben's vampire self laughed loudly in his head. "Do these idiots actually HEAR themselves, like this is some normal thing?" Ben's vampire self laughed, at least someone's having fun. (AN: I always thought that too, I found it absolutely hilarious that Ben's mother and farther treated the situation with their son like it was an everyday thing. Writing this episode really takes me back... ah, good times... when cartoons didn't try so hard to be funny)

-TIME BREAK-

"YOU RATTED ME OUT?!" Came the voice of Gwen over the house phone Ben had in his room. Kurumu and Moka heard her too... and she wasn't on speaker phone either.

"I can explain!" Ben said. "What's to explain? My parents gave me a riot act last night. Really Ben, you've stared Vilgax down without blinking and beat Animo without breaking a sweat, why did you tell them?!" Asked Gwen. "Because they didn't give me The Mom Look, I'm sorry Gwen" Ben apologized. "He did try his best though, his mom can be scarier than other me" said Moka. Gwen just sighed. "I know, but now I'm grounded and now I can't leave the house to go out with Kevin and..." she was saying, Ben cut her off though thinking he must have imagined something she said. "Wait, what?"

"Huh? Uh, nothing. I'm just stuck here, instead of out there figuring out what the Highbreed want with that freighter. At least my parents are letting me use the computer" said Gwen. Ben then picked up a comic book. "Don't worry, Kevin's on it" he said, making the girls with him look up, Gwen to if she was there. "You sent Kevin?" Asked Kurumu, dryly. "Alone?" Asked Gwen. "Carl? You know where the house phone is?" Asked Sandra from downstairs. "Yeeeeeeah, I gotta go" said Ben, hanging up.

Later that night at the dinner table, the residents of the Tennyson household were eating... well dinner. Moka got up to get the house phone cause it was ringing. "Hello? Tennyson residence?" Asked Moka sweetly, then her eyes widened. "Uh, Ben... it's for you."

Looking at his mom and dad first, they both nodded. "Make it quick" said Carl, in a stern tone. Ben got up and took the phone from Moka, he touched her hand in the process, but he was oblivious to it... the vampire blushed, and it wasn't unnoticed by the succubus. "Hello? This is Ben" Ben responded to the caller. "Yeah, it's me" said... Kevin. "Kev... this ISN'T a good time!" Ben whispered. "Your telling me, I'm trapped in goop inside a boat and DNAliens' are coming!" Said Kevin. Ben thought quickly, he needed an excuse to stay on the line. "Oh sorry, Kev. I'm not a computer right now since I'm grounded, I'll conference Gwen in."

RING! RING!

"Hello?" Gwen asked. "Yeah so, I'm stuck in a tank full of Stinkfly's snot and can't get out" said Kevin. "Kevin? Is that you?" Asked Gwen. "No, it's Pinocchio" Kevin answered. "So what's wrong, your nose grew too big?" Asked Gwen, joining the sarcastic joke. "I ran away from home to join a circus, but Stromboli threw me in a green lake" Kevin said. "Just absorb something and bust outta there" Ben said. "What, stinky vapors?" Asked Kevin. "Use your phone, you dummy" said Ben. "Why? It's made out of titanium and... oooooooh."

"Carl, get him off the phone" Sandra told her husband. He was about to, but he caught the eyes of Kurumu and felt... strange. "Carl? Carl!" Asked Sandra, waving a hand and snapping her fingers in her husbands face. "Hey guys, I think I figured out what Kevin might be swimming in. On Wikipedia, it says that station only exports... bat guano" said Gwen.

BANG!

Hearing that, Kevin burst out of the hull of the ship. He felt disgusted for some reason, something from his childhood, but he couldn't put his finger on it. "A) What is guano? And B) Why does that sound familiar from a 1995 movie?" He asked. Gwen explained what it was... and how nuke testing made it radioactive. Kevin asked for help... and a chemical bath. Ben felt the phone slip out if his grasp, by his mother. "No phone, means no phone. Go to your room!" Said Sandra, then she turned to Kurumu. "And you, young lady! I don't know what you did to my husband or how, but I won't have it in my house!"

The blue-haired monster and the green-clothed human went upstairs. When they were gone, Sandra spoke to Moka. "And you, help us clean up" ordered the mother of Moka's crush. "Maybe your right, she can be scarier than me... to an extent" said Inner Moka.

-TIME BREAK-

Back upstairs, Kevin managed to hack into Ben's wireless network and video call him. Until the plug was pulled... literally. The last thing Ben, Kurumu and Moka saw was Kevin being held by the Highbreed they fought earlier that evening. "Dad, NO!"

"Don't you no me, Ben Tennyson. You have defied us for the last time, and I don't appreciate being manipulated by your friend either" said Carl, holding the computer plug. "Look, you got to listen to me! This isn't just a game or a fanfic written by someone, my friend is in danger... REAL danger" said Ben. He didn't know why, but for some reason he was starting to get really irritated by his parents actions. "Mister and Misses Tennyson, I get you want to protect Ben. But he needs to protect everyone else" said Moka. "You both don't understand, this is a matter of life and death for everyone!" Said Kurumu.

"The ONLY ones we are concerned about is all of you" said Carl. "So until then; your not calling anyone, texting anyone, or My-Facing anyone!" Said Sandra. 2 of the 3 teens just looked at each other. "My-Facing?" Asked Moka. "I think she means Facebooking and MySpace" said Kurumu. The argument continued, with 'that's what law enforcement is for' or 'call the national guard'. While this was going on, Ben grabbed his head, unbeknownst to anyone else. It's like something was buzzing in his head.

"Oh, Jesus Christ, this'll get you nowhere. Sorry Ben, but sometimes... you gotta fight fire... with an inferno." His Omnitrix began to glow in dark green and the next thing he knew, Ben was looking out through his eyes... but he was not in control of his actions!

"ENOUGH! You wanna protect me, I get it. But your treating this like its normal, your both in denial! You think I WANTED this to happen to me? When I was with grandpa 6 years ago that summer night, this is NOT what I signed up for! But you both taught me to put others BEFORE MYSELF! That's what I've been trying to do, and I can't do that without disobeying you now! You taught me about responsibility, caring for others... and now your throwing out the window because you THINK this is just something you can control! I'm sorry, I love you both... but right now, my friend Kevin... AND the ENTIRE human race needs me! Because I'm the ONLY one who can save it!"

FLASH!

SHATTER!

Jumping out his bedroom window was: "XLR8! Uh... I'll fix that when I get back" said the blue speedster, realizing what 'he' did and taking off down the street. 'By the why, what was that all about? Now my mom and dad ARE gonna kill me!' He asked himself, or rather the self that took over. "I got you out, didn't I? A thank you would be nice" said the voice of the vampire-like Ben. "BEN! Wait for us!" Called Kurumu, releasing her wings and flying after the raptor. "We're sorry, but we have to go" said Moka, bowing and running after her friends. "I can't believe it, he just walked out on us. I'm calling the police" said Sandra. "And tell them what? That our son transformed into an alien to go out for a run? I think its best... if we listen to him" said Carl, defeated.

His son was right, they raised him a certain way and they were going back on their teachings just to try and keep him safe... when countless others were depending on him. He really was growing up...

-TIME BREAK-

The freighter was sailing along the clam, cool night waters... well, they were calm until something across them and jumped onto the deck. The DNAliens on board tried to contain this breaching dino, but he just sped around them, making tornadoes or knocking them down with his speed. Reinforcements arrived armed with laser guns, but Kurumu and Inner Moka (who was released at the docks off-screen) stopped the attempted assault by 'dropping in'.

"You guys picked the wrong dinosaur to gang up on, I'm having a VERY bad night" said the blue/black raptor, changing himself into Humungousaur and stomping off. Both Kurumu and even Inner Moka were shocked, he's definitely not a happy camper right now... he didn't even say his alien forms name! "Why'd you change into this big lug, how about you select me and..." the Omnitrix-stored vampire asked. "Shut. Up. I'm not... in the mood" Humungousaur growled at his emblem.

Inside the ship, Kevin was dangling from cords while imprisoned in green stuffing... gross. "This stinks..." he said. "Your not the first to taste defeat at my hand, nor the last" said the Highbreed. "I meant the bat poop, but I can't believe you eat this stuff" Kevin joked. "We do NOT eat it" said the Highbreed. "Why else would ya collect so much. Besides, it can be made into homemade bowls... make a whole set!" Kevin continued.

"Tennyson has trained you well... but your foolish attempt to learn our true plan has lead to your disposal... GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Went the Highbreed, being hit by a DNAlien flying at his chest. "Sorry I'm late, I was taking a refreshing swim" said Humungousaur. "I thought you got sent to your room without supper" said Kevin, surprised but thankful that Ben was here. "He did, but he's probably getting grounded for the rest of his life, now hold still" said Kurumu, flying up to Kevin. "Does it LOOK like I'm going anywhere?" Asked Kevin, but the succubus ignored him and sliced him free.

"So what exactly are they doing with all the shit, stink up the universe for all eternity?" Asked Inner Moka, sarcastically. And to think these are the everyday 'enemies' her American friend battled back in the day. "What there doing, is removing the impurities, so their left with a volatile isotope as a power source" said Humungousaur, stunning the others. "Wow, you figured that out by yourself?" Asked Kevin. "Gwen actually, but the real question is: a power source... for what?" Said Humungousaur.

"It's a surprise, for the entire human race! DESTROY THEM!" Commanded the Highbreed, recovering from the impact earlier. Every DNAlien aboard surrounded the group, trying to carry out the order of their leader. With Inner Moka's strength, Kurumu's flying skills and Kevin's metal absorption combined with Humungousaur's power; the DNAliens were no match.

The Highbreed tried to knock out the brown dinosaur using one of his soldiers that fell off the railing, but it missed.

Jumping over the metal bars, Humungousaur chased after his attacker. This Highbreed didn't like to play fair, and sucker-punched our prehistoric hero in the chest with surprising power, breaking some steel pipes as he rolled on the cold metal floor. "You may wanna put some size on" said Kevin, he and the girls managed to fight off the rest of the minions. "Ugh, unless you want me to sink the ship... not enough room" said the pained dinosaur.

The Highbreed began to approach the trapped giant. The others tried to get to him, but more DNAliens arrived and held them back. "UGH! They're like... cockroaches" snapped Inner Moka. "Seriously, where do they get all these guys?" Asked Kurumu, though it was a rhetorical question. "Have you checked under any rocks lately?" Answered Kevin. "You look fatigued, vermin. I'll help put you to rest" said the Highbreed.

"See? THIS is why you should have picked me. Now I gotta save your sorry ass again" said Ben's vampire. Then, Humungousaur's Omnitrix symbol glowed with dark green light. Now aware of what is happening unlike back on Turrawuste, he actually FELT the power pour into him. At first, the demonic surge of energy was painful, but his body began to adapt to it. He lunged at the Highbreed, ignoring the flood of guano from behind them, and pinned it down to the ground with little effort. The Highbreed was clever, and used his legs to kick the powered-up Vaxsaurian into a steel door.

Then... it opened...

...

...

PEW!

"Good shot, honey!"

"Like dad always said, right tool for the right job."

"Aw, great... it's the fun-suckers." (AN: There's only 2 people this could possibly be, use your imagination)

"Mom? Dad?" Asked Humungousaur. He turned his head to see the 2 people he didn't expect to see until he got home. Carl was holding something that looked like a modified sniper rifle, it looked really badass too. "Ben! Are you ok?" Asked Sandra, kneeling down to her son's head. Humungousaur sat up. "I-I'm fine, not the first time I've been knocked around" he said, smiling.

"Uh, excuse us?"

"Hate to break up your family reunion, but we need some help"

"We? More like you clowns"

Those were the voices of Kevin, Kurumu and Inner Moka in that order. They were dogpiled in 3 separate groups by leftover DNAliens, the latter vampire simply freed herself by kicking them off. It was too quick to see how she managed to do it though. She landed in front of the recovering alien dinosaur gracefully. "Moka? You look... different" said Sandra, clearly taking notice of Moka's appearance... and completely different behavior. "And aren't you his ruffian friend?" She continued, not referring to Kurumu. "I got it covered, dear" said Carl, aiming his weapon.

The DNAliens scurried off like frightened mice.

"Thank you, love you guys!" Said Kurumu. "Nice piece by the way, Mister Tennyson" said Kevin. "Yeah dad, where'd ya get that from?" Asked the Tennyson son. "What, this old thing? Been sitting in the attic for years... never liked it" said Carl. "We were so worried Ben" said Sandra, hugging her son the best she could. "Yeah, I'm sorry I blew you guys off like that, I wasn't myself" said Humungousaur. "I'm not, it was cool how you showed up when ya did. I'd probably be guano juice by now" said Kevin.

"Yes... it was very cool. You did what you had to do, we're proud of you, your friend was in trouble and you had to help him" said Sandra, kissing her son on the chin, since that was the only part of his face that she could reach. "His friend? Honey, he just saved hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of lives. Ben, Kurumu and Moka saved the entire world!" Said Carl. "Hey, I helped too" said Kevin.

"How touching..." came the voice of the Highbreed, roaming over for around round. "You've already lost... now, learn your PLACE!" Said you-know-who, kicking the alien with all her might. Surprisingly, he just slid across the floor and into the wall below the tank of green goo, this Highbreed officer might even be a match for a Dravek! He did appear to be in pain from the kick, but he got up relatively quickly. "The only one who will learn there place, is you!" Said the Highbreed, running toward the group. Carl ran up with his, as his wife called it, space bazooka, and aimed. Bracing for an impact, the Highbreed shielded itself as the barrel of the gun lit up...

...

...

TICK!

Crap, outta juice. The Highbreed lunged at the group, when a certain someone said: "Here comes the pitch..."

BANG!

SHATTER!

And the Highbreed went sailing through the air as Humungousaur hit him with a makeshift baseball bat, the space bazooka. He hit the tank, spilling all the hard earned shit all over the floor. Both father and son put their left hands over they're heads, Inner Moka just pouted.

"Outta the park."

"Nice."

"... I could've done that."

-TIME BREAK-

Now back home, safe and sound... and now trust fully restored. The family sat in the living room watching Carl remove a giant dreamcatcher... for the space bazooka. "I thought you said you hated that thing" said Ben. "I did, I hated all that Plumber stuff. Reminded me of the secret life your grandfather hid from us, now I get he was only protecting us... just like you all were" said Carl. "We're sorry we overacted, you three. It's just like Ben, we've come to love you as you were one of our own" said Sandra. "That's very sweet of you, Misses Tennyson. And we're sorry we never told you the whole truth" said Moka, who changed back to pinky form off-screen.

"Don't worry about it, my mom's worse. She's not the honest type, especially when it comes to enslaving men. I never got to know who my real farther was" said Kurumu, making Ben's parents go wide-eyed. "Uh... not that I'd ever do that to your husband or Ben. Besides, Ben is my Mate of Fate, so there's no need!" She said. "Mate of Fate?" Asked Carl, he was never home when Kurumu would rant about her destiny to be with Ben. "I'll tell you later, dear" Sandra mouthed to her husband.

Then, Ben's phone rang.

"Hello? Gwen, whats up? Uh... I've have to call you back" said Ben, hanging up and looking at his parents. "Soooooo, there's been an alien sighting in the desert out of town and I..." Ben was saying. "Then what are you waiting for?" Asked Carl. "Go get'em, tiger!" Said Sandra. Smiling to his parents then his 2 monster friends, the high schoolers ran out the door.

With confident smiles; Kurumu took flight and grew her claws, Ben pulled Moka's cross, releasing her true power and Ben himself...

"It's, HERO TIME!"

FLASH!

This was very fun to write. As I said before, this episode really took me back. Remember to review, I really enjoy reading them... even you trollers to an extent. But tune down the trolling please? See you in the next chapter! :D
