A/N- Guys, sorry for the alert of the 'new chapters.' I saw several mistakes in the 2nd chapter and had to delete the third chapter too so I could fix the problems. Sorry again.


At a gas station somewhere in the desert, the Rust Bucket was parked as Max was at the ATM getting out some cash while the kids were inside of the convenience store getting ice cream

Then, a pick-up truck pulled up and a thug walked up behind Max as he was using the ATM.

"Out of the way, Grandpa," he said. "I've got a major withdrawal to make."

He then violently tossed him out of the way and at the feet of another thug, who smiled smugly.


Inside the convenience store, the kids were looking over the ice cream selection.

"What do you have hat's non-fat with less than 3% sugar?" Glen asked.

"Napkins," the clerk said before turning to Jen. "What about you, kid?"

Just as Jen was about to make her selection, she noticed one of the thugs hooking up a chai from the truck to the ATM, planning to drive away with it. She then turned to the ice cream man. "I'm about to go rocky road." She then ran out of the store, dialling the watch.

The first thug then hooked up the chain to the ATM before turning to his accomplice and giving him a thumbs-up. "Hit it."

The other thug tried to start the truck, only for it to not go anywhere after hitting the accelerator pedal.

Then, right before his eyes and much to his fear, the steering wheel dissolved and the entire front of the truck became a formless black and white mass with green data-like markings on its body forming some kind of limbs and a single circle on the front of the head representing her eye. This was one of Jen's aliens known as Upgrade.

"Your cash request has been denied!" Upgrade announced in a computerized version of Jen's voice, her eye lighting up as she spoke.

Outside of the car, we see that she's taken over the entire truck, it turning the same black and green as her as the thug was tossed out of the car and Upgrade de-merged with it, revealing the white mass that goes down from the collar at the front of her body and the watch symbol on her chest. She then looked at the other thug, who swung the hook and chain like a mace and threw it at her, only for Upgrade to wrap it around her arm and then yank him right into a power-line pole, nearly unconscious.

As he tried to get up, Max prevented him from doing so by putting his foot on his chest.

"Where do you think you're going? Good job, Jen." Max said as he looked at Upgrade as Glen walked out of the convenience store carrying two ice cream tubs.

"Oh yeah!" Upgrade said. "I'm ready for anything! Bring it on! What's next?"

"Ugh! Boring old Aunt Vera? NO!" Upgrade shouted in horror.


The Rust Bucket drove through the desert with no scenery in sight as Jen slumped on the table in disappointment.

"When Aunt Vera said she wanted to move away from it all, she really meant it." Glen said, doing the dishes.

"Oh man," Jen said. "This summer was supposed to be about F-U-N. Not hanging out at some old lady's place."

"I like Aunt Vera," Glen said.

"Duh," Jen said. "That's because you act like you're a hundred years old."


At the retirement complex, Vera was talking to her neighbour, Marty.

"It's been years since I've seen Max and the kids," she said. "I'm not sure I'll even recognize them. Stop by and say hello."

"I'd like that," Marty said as he went inside his apartment. Marty has grey hair, grey eyes, wears glasses closer to his nose, a grey shirt and brown pants. Marty also has warts on his head near his hair. He also wears a brown watch on his right wrist.

Inside, he put down some snacks and sat down on his sofa to watch a movie/show/whatever. But as he picked up some of his snack and started eating, a slimy formless mass stuck to his hand and he gasped as it attacked him.


"This is going to be so boring," Jen stated as the Rust Bucket entered the retirement complex. "Their idea of excitement in this place is probably watching the grass grow."

As the RV drove past an apartment, Jen witnessed an old man slip on his roof while trying to fix his satellite. But as he did, he somersaulted off of it and landed square on his feet.

"Whoa!" she exclaimed. "Did you see that?"

Glen looked up from his laptop and just saw a bunch of seniors doing their usual business.

"See what?" Glen asked. "The heat must be frying that pea-sized brain of yours."

"If my brain is pea-sized, yours is microscopic," Jen shot back. "This semester, I got straight As. Congratulations on your first of many more Bs, dork."

This comment made Glen's blood boil.

Once they reached Vera's house, Jen stepped out and covered her squinting eyes due to the hot scorching sun.

"Seriously," she said. "Why do old people have to leave where it's so hot!?"

Glen then smirked mischievously and sprayed Jen with her water gun.

"Hey!" she shouted.

Glen then laughed and ran up ahead.

Jen then looked into the window of Marty's house and Marty snarled at her and stretched his neck rather disturbingly before closing the blinds.

"Wow," Jen said. "They really make you feel welcome here."

"Just watch your cheeks," Max said. "Vera's a pincher."

"Max!" Vera said, running out to hug her baby brother.

"Vera!" Max smiled as he hugged his big sister.

Jen and Glen then walked up to her.

"I can't believe you're finally here," Vera said as she hugged Glen before pinching his cheeks. "And look at you two! So grown up!"

"Ow!" Glen said.

She then moved to Jen and pinched hers as well.

"Ow!"

"Come on in. I can't wait to chew the fat with all of you."

They went in, completely oblivious that Marty was glaring at them through the blinds in the window.


Inside of Vera's house, it was pretty much what you would expect from a retired senior's apartment. The walls were snow-white with your basic furniture and the usual house plants.

Jen then sniffed the air and groaned. "Ugh. Why do old people's houses always smell like someone's cooking socks or something?"

Later, the family was sitting down for dinner and an orange Jell-O with white and brown bits was in front of them.

"Mmm. Vera, this is delicious," Max said. "And what are these brown chunks in the mold?"

"Pork chops. And the white chunks are cauliflower," Vera said.

Jen and Glen were each about to take a spoon of the Jell-O when they looked at each other, clearly not enjoying their dinner.

"So, Jen," Vera said. "What have you been doing so far this summer?"

"Dealing with alien life forms," Jen said.

Vera then chuckled a bit. "Oh, you."

Glen then got up and saw the model bird collection on Vera's shelf, intrigued. He then spotted a red bird. "Aunt Vera, is that a stuffed red-billed North American chickadee?"

"*gasp* How perceptive, Glen," Vera said. "And did you know the song of the red-billed North American chickadee is actually-"

"-a call indicating alarm or excitement?" they both finished before imitating the call.

Jen takes the opportunity to put her Jell-O on Glen's plate using her fork and knife. "I am totally stuffed," she lied.

Vera then came up to Jen's seat with a bowl in her hands. "Jen, would you like some candy?"

"Now we're talking," Jen said as she took one and put it into her mouth and chewed away before she stops and spits it out. "Ugh! Coffee? As a candy? Is this some kind of joke?"

She then immediately got up from her seat and ran. "I need to use the bathroom," She got in and closed the door with a hurry, leaning on it.

"It's Attack of the Old People! I've gotta get out of here." She then looked down at the watch before she activated it and turned it to different icons. Once she reached the ghost alien icon, she slammed the watch down and a flash of green light flashed out, starting her transformation.

Jen's skeleton vanished and she started levitating in the air as her entire body reformed into a phantom/ghost-like image as her 5 fingers turned into 4 claws and her legs turned into a ghostly tail and she gained one single eye and she had grey skin with black lines running all over her. The watch symbol peeked out of her skin on her lower left chest and she had a purple eye with a black pupil. This form was known as Ghostfreak.

Meanwhile, Vera was showing an interested Glen her seashell collection.

"And this one is a Valentiana," she said as she handed the conch shell to Glen. "Can you hear the ocean?"

Glen held it up to his ear. But what he heard was not what he was expecting at all.

"Loser… Loser…" he heard a faint and whispery voice say and cackle like a witch as his eyes widened and he looked behind him to see Ghostfreak, but transparent grey (a sign that she was in her intangible form).

"Jen?" Glen asked.

"See ya," Ghostfreak said, waving. "Wouldn't wanna be ya." She phased through the wall and out of the house to explore the grounds. "There has to be something fun to do around here."

Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a golf cart. "Hello." To the onlookers on the street, it looked like the cart was driving itself, much to their confusion. In reality, Ghostfreak was invisible (one of her other abilities). Then, a whiff of something delicious made its way to whatever she used to smell without a nose. She stopped the cart and flew to the house when she saw her prize. "Mmm… apple pie."

But just as she was about to steal it, she saw something when she looked up. She then saw an old lady swatting violently at a fly before she leaped up, stuck to the ceiling and ate the fly before falling down on her feet and cracking the joints in her neck rather grotesquely.

At first she was disgusted by her eating the fly. "Blech!" But then, realization at the amazing sight hit her. "No way! Ninja old people?!" She then turned and saw Marty driving his own cart away. But then, the lawn sprinklers turned on and he got a panicked look on his face as he veered the cart away and gave a sigh of relief as Ghostfreak looked on. "I wonder what Mr. Friendly's up to."


A few minutes later, Ghostfreak had followed Marty to the complex's waste area with her own golf cart, parking it beyond Marty's hearing. Marty lifted up a folded red rug onto his shoulder. But then, he walked over to the gate, stretched up his legs and stepped over it with no effort at all.

"This place just keeps getting weirder by the minute," Ghostfreak stated as she phased through the gate as she looked to see Marty moving the garbage dumpster out of the way, revealing a hidden trap door underneath it. Marty opened the door, revealing a hidden staircase. He was about to go down when Ghostfreak's watch symbol started beeping red rapidly as a flash of red light came out.

Marty unfortunately heard that and stretched his head around to the back of his body as Jen let out a gasp.

Marty then stretched around the rest of his body and screeched as Jen screamed in terror as he grabbed her by the shoulders before she struggled out of his grasp.

Jen started scaling the gate's grating and then once at the top, she jumped and landed on the ground gracefully before making it to her golf cart as Marty stretched over the gate again and ran for her as she then floored it as the golf cart was going about as fast as Marty was running. "Uh, I didn't see your face suddenly pop on the back of your head! I swear!" she lied. "What kind of vitamins are these freaky old people taking?" she asked herself.

"Come on. Come on." She said trying to speed up the cart but it only went 40 mph. But then, Marty stretched his arms forward, grabbed the front of the cart and starts dragging it back. "Let me go." Jen panicked. She then spied the golf clubs in the duffel bag and then sliced off his hand with a mighty "Fore!" She then started driving away from him, but then felt a bump on top of the cart and knew that Marty had climbed on top of it. She then started to struggle driving while avoiding his hands. "No!" She lost control of the cart and it hit a parking space block and then they both went flying near a tree. Jen got up from the flipped cart (no pun intended) and rubbed her head.

Marty got up and stretched back to normal. He grabbed a weak Jen's legs (while she tried to jump off the cart) and started stretching backwards as Jen started struggling with the watch.

But then, Marty noticed the lawn sprinkler spraying onto him and he grunted in fear as he ran off, leaving Jen confused.

"Okay. What just happened here?"


Later back in Aunt Vera's house, Glen and Max were in the kitchen when Jen came rushing up to them.

"Grandpa! Glen!" she shouted before Max shushed her.

"Your Aunt Vera is in bed."

"Seriously? It's like only 6:30." Jen said. "Never mind. "This… this whole place is way creepier than I thought. First, this old lady runs up a wall, munches a fly and lands on the floor without busting a hip or anything. Then, Marty, that weird next door neighbour is an ET or something with a face at the back of his head and these long sticky arms and this body that oozed right through this gate and-"

"Jen, you snuck out. Aunt Vera was hurt," Glen chided.

"Eh, she's old. She'll forget." She said. "I say I go Four Arms and we check out Marty's apartment."

"Well, maybe we should do some investigating. But you stay as you are," Max said, causing Jen to frown.

Max then gave an exaggerated old man voice. "Us old folks don't forget as much as you think." He then winked before walking off.

"You know, ever since you've had that watch, you're like a magnet for the weird." Glen said.

Jen leans towards Glen's direction and starts tingling like a magnet trying to pull something, taking advantage of Glen's mockery. "You're right."

"Very funny," Glen said sarcastically.


Later, the family entered Marty's apartment with Max cracking open the door just a tad before calling out. "Hello? Anyone home?" When nobody answered, he signalled his grandchildren to keep quiet before they entered the apartment with hesitation in their walk as the saw creepy shadows scrawled upon the wall. They also heard some ringing and ticking of Marty's grandfather clock.

They then searched the apartment for a light switch so they could see their way around for anything unusual. Then, they saw something in the darkness as Jen flipped the light switch and they saw it was just a coat and hat on a rack blowing by the fan.

"Well, nothing seems out of whack," Max analysed.

"Except for what he rolled up in his rug," Jen said, walking to a faded spot on the carpeted floor that she saw. "That was right here."


Back at Aunt Vera's house at sunset, Max was talking to the kids. "You two sleep well. I'll be in the guest room if you need me."

"But Grandpa-" Jen began before Max interrupted her.

"There's nothing more we can do tonight. I'm going for an early walk in the morning. But once I'm back, we'll check things out again. Now get some rest," Max said.


In Vera's room, the sleeping Vera's hand fell off of the covers as the same substance that attacked Marty suddenly slithered in the rafters. It then slithered up her arm before she suddenly woke up as the slime-like substance covered her body before she could even scream.


The next morning, Jen went through Vera's fridge while her cousin was getting a glass of water. "Prune juice, prune juice, and, oh, what a surprise, more prune juice."

She then turned to Glen. "Why does it seem old people were always old?"

Then, Vera came to the kitchen.

"Morning, Aunt Vera," Glen said. "How'd you sleep?"

"Just… fine," Vera said with little emotion in her voice. "How about you?" Then, she reached out like a zombie and pinched Jen's cheeks rather painfully.

"Fine, Aunt Vera," Jen said.

"I made you some coffee," Glen said. But then, he tripped and sent the coffee and water sprawling to the ground, causing Vera to panic, jump up, and do the splits between the wall and a kitchen shelf.

"Clean it up! Clean it up right now!" She ordered as the two looked absolutely shocked at the sight.

"I'm sorry," Glen apologized before she cleaned up the coffee and water with a towel.

Vera then jumped down once it was cleaned up and glanced over to see the empty guest room where Max was sleeping.

"Where did your grandfather go?"

"He said he was going for an early walk," Glen said.

"Well, behave yourselves. I'll be back soon," Vera said before walking away from them.

"She's totally one of them," Jen whispered.

"One of what?" Glen asked.

"Whatever's possessing these old people. Something or someone's got to Aunt Vera, and who knows how many other fossils around here," Jen said.


Later in an alleyway, they were walking down an alleyway in the complex silently with Jen leading the charge.

"So, where are we headed, Sherlock?" Glen (with his backpack) asked as Jen pressed herself against the wall and saw two suspicious-looking seniors walking past them.

"We need to get to that trap door by the dumpster," Jen said.

The two waited for the seniors to pass out of sight before they made a break for it and hid in another alleyway.


Meanwhile, Marty and another senior were waiting by a wall as Vera walked up to them.

"Is the food supply ready for transport?" she asked.

"The pods are in the final stages of gestation," Marty said, revealing his jagged white teeth. "What about the young ones?"

"Too chewy," Vera said. "They need to age more before they get nice and tender."

"I'm not talking about eating. The girl suspects too much.

Then, Vera gave an evil smile.


Back with the kids, they finally made it to the dumpster as Jen pointed.

"It's right over there," she said as they walked over to it.

"Just follow the disgusting smell," Glen stated.

Soon, they passed two seniors playing shuffleboard. Then, they gave a menacing growl, revealing jagged yellow teeth, and started chucking the pucks at them. "Duck!" Glen shouted.

"Run!" Jen shouted.

They then ran for cover from the flying pucks before they ran behind a corner and panted heavily.

Then, Max came out from behind as they looked over.

"Guys, what's going on?" he asked.

"They're everywhere!" Jen shouted.

"I know," Max said before he stretched out and revealed his jagged yellow teeth. "Come here. I'll protect you," he then gave out a roar.

"Let's get out of here!" Glen shouted as they ran away again. But soon, they were stopped by Vera, Marty and the other senior blocking the way holding up a car. They then looked back to see Max charging towards them with his stretched arms.

"Oh, this is not good," Jen said as the seniors tossed the car at them and they ducked away, barely dodging Max as the car then suddenly landed on Max as they all looked concerned.

"No!" Jen shouted.

But then, suddenly from the car wreckage, a formless slime-like being flowed from out of it and formed itself into Max with his left eye exposed and not solid as the others surrounded them.

"Come on, the trap door!" Jen said as Glen started working on the gate. Glen opened it and looked underneath the dumpster to see the trap door.

Jen backed up from the old people walking towards her then finally slammed the watch down.

The watch sank into her wrist, causing her veins to pulse and expand rapidly, until they reached her eyes, which she clenched shut. When he opened them again, they were fully orange. Afterwards, orange fur sprouted all over her body, her teeth turned to fangs and she grew three gills on each side of her collar. She stretched her three-fingered paw out and it sprouted black claws. The watch's symbol was on her shoulder pad and she let out a roar as the transformation ended. This was Wildmutt, which she now called the canine alien.

Wildmutt threw the dumpster and then tossed it to the seniors, crushing them.

She then glared at the trapdoor and snarled lightly at Glen gave her a thumbs-up.

"Got it," he then got to undoing the lock of the trapdoor. "That's scary. I'm starting to speak mutt."

Then, the seniors came oozing out of the dumpster and started towards them just as Glen opened the door. Wildmutt picked him up on her back and they jumped down into the trapdoor as the seniors glared at them from above. "Whoa!" Glen said.

Wildmutt stuck her claws to the wall before landing safely to the ground.

"Does the expression 'look before you leap' mean anything to you?" Glen asked, rubbing his head.

Then, they glanced upwards and, much to their alarm, the seniors started crawling down, sticking to the walls like spiders while growling at them.

"Move it!"

Wildmutt then ran through the caverns as the seniors leaped down and started following them as they left no haste and didn't stop before they saw the tunnel split into two paths as they glared.

"These tunnels must go under the whole complex," Glen analysed as he got down from Wildmutt as Wildmutt then sniffed the air suspiciously as she saw the heat signature of Max as he then stretched his arms at Glen as Wildmutt grabbed his arms and swung him into the wall.

He then grabbed Wildmutt's scruff and flipped her onto her back as she groaned in pain. As she got up, he started punching her in the face with no hesitation as he groaned and snarled before slamming him into the wall, grabbing his arm, shaking him like a rag doll and right in the crossroad of the tunnel. She snarled angrily as she was about to bring down her paws on him as he hen briefly turned normal again.

"You wouldn't want to hurt old Grandpa Max, now would you?" he said as Wildmutt whimpered thoughtfully as he then glared at her and gave a spin kick to her which caused her to fly back before she adjusted herself and landed on all fours and Glen met up with her and jumped on her back.

"Hey, short, dumb and hairy. Rule One: he's not Grandpa. He's an alien freak," Glen stated. "And that leads to Rule Two: which is we kick alien butt."

Wildmutt charged towards him and tossed him to the wall again, this time causing a bunch of rocks to fall on him, finishing him off.

Then, Wildmutt sniffed the air briefly. "What?" Glen asked. Wildmutt then charged down the tunnel on the left as fast as she could.

"Whoa! You don't come with seatbelts, remember?!" Glen shouted as Wildmutt ran down as fast as she could as the watch started beeping red, signifying the time out. Glen spotted a wall in front of them. "Look out!" Wildmutt slammed into the wall in a flash of red light as they recovered and Glen shook his head.

"Hey, freakshow!" he told Jen. "What do I look like, a crash test dummy?!"

"Listen, I don't know what it is but I picked up some kind of scent in here." Jen said as they walked down the caverns again as they saw a grey spaceship with pink walls and a punch of green pods with yellow spots.

"It's like everyone in Retirement Village has been podded up," Glen said as they looked through the pods. Jen came across the one that was holding their grandfather.

"Grandpa!" Jen said as she gripped the pod and pulled away, ripping it open and Max came out and came to his senses almost instantly.

"I was out for a walk and then *groan* I can't remember what happened next," Max explained.

Jen ran over to another pod to free someone else before she was interrupted.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Vera said as she, Marty and the other senior walked up to them.

"Well, you're not me," Jen said as she, Glen and Max backed away.

"Not yet, I'm not," Marty said as he and the others let out a shriek and transformed into their true forms: green amoeba-like beings with their organs visible in their transparent bodies.

Glen continued backing up in fear as the aliens approached them.

"You can fill me in later," Max said as Glen accidentally touched the pink wall behind him, which turned yellow and revealed itself to be a door to their ship and he looked behind to see a ton of pods already loaded into the ship.

"Look what's back here!" Glen shouted as they all looked into it to see the pods.

"Their ship," Max exclaimed as he ran over.

"They found it!" one of the aliens shouted. "We can't let them out!"

With that, the ship activated, shining brightly, illuminating the cavern.

"Get the pods on board," another one of the aliens said. "They've been marinating long enough."

"Marinating?" Max asked as Glen looked up and saw Vera's pod.

"They've got Aunt Vera!"

Jen activated her watch and selected her wanted form. "You guys really burn me up," she said as she slammed down and transformed in a flash of green light.

The watch sunk down into her arm and from where it had sunk, brown-orange rocks erupted from her skin and worked their way all over her body until they reached her eye. Then, cracks appeared in the outline of her now rocky skin and the watch symbol appeared on her chest, only it was white on the hourglass and grey on the faceplate. Her head erupted into flames with a face outline inside and she struck a pose, transforming into Inferno.

The aliens stepped back in fear of the fiery alien. "Now I'm going to return the favor," she then thrust her hands forward and produced a heat ray that blew the aliens back as they jumped up and morphed into each other in a massive mass of green goo.

"Whatever you are, you just made a terrible mistake," the giant alien said. "Us Limaxes live for the heat. Why do you think we came to the desert in the summer?"

Inferno set out punching the formless mass rapidly only to be picked up with the Limax's tentacles and slammed around the walls and floor before it noticed Glen and Max unloading the pods from the ship. To counter this, it sent out two globs of itself that slithered their way towards them.

Glen tried to pick up Vera's pod until he was suddenly stopped by one Limax, which slashed his backpack off and open. That was its mistake as the Limaxes noticed his water gun and backed away. Glen took the water gun and smiled.

The two Limaxes ran away in fear from his water gun as he sprayed them and they dove trying to avoid it.

"They hate water!" Glen shouted in realization to Inferno. "Aunt Vera when she was in the kitchen!"

"Or Marty, when I was on the golf cart," Inferno said to herself.

She then noticed a water pipeline above them and she fired a heat ray at it and it sprayed water on the giant Limax (while trying to take over Inferno by placing its substance in her eyes) as it roared in pain and let Inferno go as she ran away. "See ya, slimeball!" She then removed the slime from her eye.

By then, Max and Glen finished unloading the pods. "Sorry! There's no drive-thru service here!" Max aid as they ran out and the Limax rushed back into the ship.

The three stood back as the ship took off in a hurry before it made its way out of the cavern and up into space, leaving a massive crater in the ground.

"We should put them all back in their condos so they'll think they never left," Max said as Glen sat down.

"That could take hours."

"Give me a few minutes. I'll see if VLOCT can help out." Inferno said.

The next morning, when everything was back to normal, Vera hugged Max and the kids goodbye.

"Don't be strangers," Vera told her brother.

"We won't," Max said, walking to the Rust Bucket.

"Bye, Aunt Vera," Glen said.

"Bye, dear," Vera said. "Oh, and this is for the road." She then handed Glen a green Jell-O mold. "Jen told me how much you like my gelatin mold. This one's lime with chunks of grouper and chickpeas."

Jen grinned to herself.

"Uh, thanks," Glen said before getting hugged by Vera and walking to the Rust Bucket.

"I'm sorry Jen if there wasn't enough excitement for you. I hope you weren't bored to tears," Vera said.

"Actually, it turned out better than I thought," Jen said.

"I'm glad," Vera said, hugging her great niece. "Well, have fun on the road."

"I will," Jen said as she ran to the RV.

"Oh, and Jen? Keep up the good work dealing with all those aliens you were telling me about," Vera said.

"…You're kidding, right?" Jen asked as Vera laughed.

"Of course, dear," Vera said.

Vera smiled as the RV drove away.


As they drove by the cavern, the Limax that was left behind started oozing out of the rocky walls and slithered away through the caverns.


A/N Summer's over for me, guys. School starts tomorrow. I'll be writing chapters on weekends from now. See you guys soon. I'm seeing when I make the polls separately, there are ties, so I'll make one poll that determines all the alien names I change. I'll miss you guys and see you soon.

Next on Jen 10:

Hunted
