Episode 9: Rook's Honor

Two weeks have passed after the fierce fight with Death Viral. Kai was sent to asylum for her mental treatment due to side effects from bonding with Viral. Achak and Wes have cut down most of their archaeology business trip to spend some time with Kai for better treatment. Julie has returned to Team Ben, and also make the amends with some people and friends she has mistreated badly, thanks to Viral's influence. Nevertheless, everything is back to normal.

After what Team Ben have been through, Rook have suggested and requested three weeks of leave form their duty as he not only wanted his team for resting, but also returned and reunited with his family. He hasn't seen them for three years since he left for Plumber Academy. And of course, he wanted to introduce his friends and newly adopted sister to the family, sharing their culture with his family's side.

Using his Proto-Truk Spacecraft Mode, Rook was driving and flying straight across the galaxy, joining in by his friends and adopted sister.

"Wow... I can't believe this is happening. I finally get to go and see Rook's home!" Helen said happily, "I'm so exciting! Oh! I'd never been exciting in my life!"

Tetrax chuckled a bit, "Yes, Helen. We're also excited about this as well. And of course, we do need a good vacation from the crazy fights with Malware, venturing Pony Dimension and of course the crazy nasty fight with that Viral Blob."

"No kidding. That is so exhausting..." Ben agreed. He turned and looked at Rook, "Hey, buddy, thanks for inviting us to join you visiting Revonnah."

Julie nodded, "Yeah. We've always wonder what kind world Revonnah is. It must be very beautiful and peaceful world that doesn't involve of war, at all. I've also heard that Amber Ogia are the best fruits."

"Indeed, they are, Julie." Rook said calmly, "I appreciate you all to accept it as well. I wish to show my people and family about you and the culture you have from your home. I want to share it with them. And who knows? They might open for trading and negotiation."

"Wait? You mean that you guys never done it before?" Helen asked in surprise.

Rook nodded sadly, "Yes. Revonnah is not just about agriculture and farming, but very traditional in ways of warrior and farm. They do not rely on technology nor do they want to have to do anything with outside worlds because they believe that off-worlders caused more disturbance and disrespectful to their peace and tradition."

"Yikes. Sounds like they're old relic," Ben joked.

"Actually, they're not relic, Ben. They're people," Rook corrected Ben. Ben sighed while shaking his head. He looked confuse before realized of what he has said, "Of course, it's the expression. I'm still learning of the expression. It's quite confusing yet intriguing."

"Don't worry, Rook. You'll get to it," Julie said calmly.

"However, I thought bringing you all to my homeworld might change their view of accepting the changes," Rook said calmly, "My family will be perfect group to start learning and adapting to some changes. My siblings would love it."

Helen whistled, "Cool. I can't wait to meet them. I bet they're very cute especially this Rook Shi. I hope they like me."

Rook smiled as he patted Helen's head, "Rest assure, my little sister. They will love and accept you as my family." He sighed, "Hopefully, nothing bad can happen especially my master..."

"Master?" Tetrax asked in surprise yet curious, "I'd take it that he trained you in Revonnah Kai?"

Rook nodded, "He is. His name is Master Kundo. Though he is wise, strict and noble master; he does not trust the off-worlders as he sees them trouble and threat to the tradition. It is best that all of you must never meet or approach him especially befriending him. He will not think or hesitate of attacking you, whether you're friend or foe."

Ben hissed, "Message received, buddy. Worse than my boot camp..."

"We'll try to be best in our behavior," Julie said calmly while patting Ship, "I hated to think of the trouble we might cause."

"Just follow me," Rook said calmly. He looked up and found the bluish colored planet. He smiled, "Here it is, my friend - Revonnah..."

Ben and his friends looked at the window. They all awed and wowed in surprise and amazement of what they're looking at. They all can't wait to meet his family and try new world.

Proto-Truk has entered the atmosphere of Revonnah. The ship was flying through the flock of clouds. Rook then received the transmission, which surprised the rest of Team Ben. He responded to the call, which something surprised them.

"Howdy there! This is Sheriff Wat-Senn, Plumber Magister of Revonnah," Sheriff Wat-Senn called, "State your business here, and also transmit your landing codes."

Rook responded, "This is Plumber Cadet Rook Blonko requesting permission to land on Home to Rook Clan. Authorization Green Tekka 216-1-13."

With the landing code has been given, Rook and his teammates were waiting for the respond. For the moment has passed, Sheriff Wat-Seen responded, "Codes check out. Welcome home, Blonko. Just in time for Amber Ogia Harvest Day! And by the way, watch out for the fireworks. They're about to start."

"Appreciate it, Sheriff," Rook thanked calmly.

BOOM! As queued, the fireworks have been launched and exploded across the flow of clouds. This shocked yet surprised and amazed Team Ben.

"Wow. It's beautiful," Helen commented in surprise.

"I thought you said that no one ever come to Revonnah for trading and negotiation," Julie said in confusion.

"Well, it used to be," Rook confirmed, "However, due to Highbreed Invasion, the Council decided to not only recruit and train more warriors such as me, but also requested security assistance from off-worlder. They chose Plumbers for providing securities and weapons to fight the invasion."

"That's the smart move," Ben commented, "I assume that Sheriff Wat-Seen is the guy save you before?"

Rook shook his head, "No. But he's the one who recommended me to join the Academy and become the representative to Revonnah when I was 19."

Ben whistled, "Wow. 2 years have passed... That must be very long for you to be away."

Rook sighed, "Yes, it is. I can't wait to see them again."

The Proto-Truk descended through the atmosphere. It flew passing by couple of Revonnahganders, on both land and hills, watching and awing while cheering wildly and happily at the display of fireworks.

The ship was flying and heading straight to a large wooden rectangle ranch-style house-like on the large hill. The ship began descended and landed on the wooden platform. They emerged out from the truck. They then found a green-skinned humanoid alien with white mustache and sideburns, and has a bald spot on top of his head worn a light orange shirt with dark orange vest and trousers, also wears black gloves and a gray bandana around his neck with the Plumber symbol on it.

"Rook Blonko! Good to see you com back home, partner!" Sheriff Wat-Senn greeted warmly.

"Sheriff!" Rook greeted warmly as he approached and gave the sheriff a hug, "It's good to see you here again. I hope the locals didn't give you much problem and complains about you being here."

Sheriff Wat-Senn laughed playfully, "Nope. Don't you worry about that, sonny. Sure the locals and my platoon aren't in good term since the arrival, over the months, we managed to get along and work together like baking a pie, made of apple." He turned and found Team Ben standing before Rook. He whistled, "I see you brought some folks here."

And just before he could explain, Rook heard some familiar innocent shouts, calling his name. He turned and looked on left side. He found a group of young Revonahganders were running towards them.

One of them is much older than others, who has periwinkle blue-colored fur with white marks in middle, black markings on her face, and a long violet hair that goes down to her waist worn an almost bandage wrapping-like brown dress, a dark brown headband, light brown gloves, a light brown wrapping around her upper left arm, brown furry boots, and a black choker around her neck. Second one is young girl with black markings and has a white braided hair worn a brown dress with yellow stripes, yellow bandages around her wrists and brown boots. Another female Revonnahgander is much more younger than others with black marks has black curvy hair, two fangs and a tail worn a brown dress-like with yellow stripes and brown shoes. Much more youngest male Revonnahgander with small fang and spiky hair with black marks worn a yellow shirt with small brown robe and brown shoes, and has a tail.

And just before Rook could do anything, all of them jumped and hugged him happily while dropping and falling down hard. They all laughed happily and wildly.

"Rook Blonko! You have return!" The oldest Revonnahgander Girl exclaimed happily, "Welcome home, brother!"

The second young female Revonnahgander said calmly, "We miss you so much, brother! I hope you're doing well on this new planet - Earth. Why do they call it that?"

"Yeah, big brother! Life's so boring without you!" The younger female Revonnahgander exclaimed wildly, "Heard that you've got some great adventure there! I am so jealous of you! I hope you've brought some souvenir or something fun to do!"

The youngest male Revonnahgander scoffed, "Forget that. Did you bring something awesome and cool here like bringing Ben 10 and his gang? I really want to meet them!"

Rook laughed a bit, "In fact, I did." He turned and looked at his friends while introduced to his siblings, "Everyone, meet my siblings. This is the oldest and mature one of young siblings - Rook Shar. She's three years younger than me. That is my five years younger sister - Rook Shim. She's a bit shy and timid but kind. This is my seven years younger sister - Rook Shi, the wild, energetic and strong girl. Finally, my youngest 10 years old brother - Young One."

Rook's siblings greeted warmly and calmly. Team Ben greeted back at them as well.

Rook introduced his siblings to friends, "And also, these are my friends and teammates - Ben Tennyson, Julie Yamamoto, my mentor Tetrax Shard and finally, our newly adopted sister - Rook-Wheel Helen."

"Wow!" Rook's Siblings gasped and awed in surprise.

"This is the most amazing thing ever happen to me!" Young One exclaimed happily, "I finally get to meet Ben 10! How awesome is that!"

Ben snickered, "I like this kid. Kinda remind me of myself."

"Rook, doesn't he has the name?" Julie asked.

Rook shook his head, "As long as he has bi'nthak, he does not have his own identity. Once it removed, he will have tradition ceremonial to have his own name."

"So, how long does it takes?"

"Normally, Revonnahgander lose their tails, at least the age of 10 - 13. I lost mind at the age of 10, and gained the name of 'Blonko'."

Looking at Ship, Julie and her pup shrugged a bit, "Guess every world got their own culture."

"Young one! Mind your manners! And also, greet your new sister as well." Rook Shar scolded Young One. She approached to Helen as she raised her hand before Helen, "It is an honor to meet and have you as our new sister, Helen."

Helen smiled as she shook Rook Shar's hand, "The honor is mine, uh, Rook Shar?"

Rook Shar giggled softly, "I supposed that you do not know that 'Rook' is the name of our clan? My brother failed to explain, doesn't he?"

Helen asked amusingly, "Forgetful much?"

"He does that when meeting new friend or introduced to new culture or stuffs. When he began his first trials in Revonnah Kai, he has forgotten the basic moves," Rook Shar joked, making Helen giggled.

Rook Shim said humbly with a bow, "Nevertheless, Sister Helen, we welcome you to our family. We're honored and happy to have you with us."

"Yeah. Heard that you're the fastest girl from your home," Rook Shi said slyly yet curiously, "Want a race with me? I'm the toughest, fastest and bravest Revonnahgander in this town."

"Ooh. Challenging?" Helen asked amusingly and playfully, "I like it. I accept it, Shi."

Rook Shi giggled, "Awesome. I can't wait to start a big race!"

Helen scoffed, "Don't push your luck, kid. Wouldn't want to tire you down easily."

"Hey! Don't bet on it," Rook Shi exclaimed confidently.

Sheriff Wat-Senn chuckled a bit, "Wow. Looks like Rook's siblings got along well with Helen. I'm impressed. Usually, they would have scowl or shoo some strangers away coz they're not in Revonnah."

"Happens to you when you and your platoon moved here?" Tetrax asked curiously. Sheriff Wat-Senn nodded. He whistled, "Hopefully, their parents don't react badly of having their newly adopted daughter."

Sheriff Wat-Senn sighed, "That's what worries me. His father wasn't happy and eager about sending his son away to the academy and being representative to his people especially meeting and mixing with others. He'd be probably against of adopting new sister in his clan. Rook shouldn't have adopted Helen until he gets his father's approval."

Tetrax hummed, "Huh? What do you mean? He and his father got issues?"

"Yes, they do. And it wasn't pretty either. I feared that he might not approve of it." Sheriff Wat-Senn said in concern. He and the rest of Team Ben heard the door opening. They turned and found the house's door was opened. He commented, "Speak of Celestialsapien's."

Team Ben found two elders have emerged out from the house. One of them is an older male Revonnahgander, who has the black markings and a white beard and sideburns wearing a brown shirt and pants with yellowish Japanese-like vest, yellowish bandages and also brown boots. Another was an older female Revonnahgander with blackish long hair tied up, who has white marks on middle and black marks worn a vase-like turban hat, yellowish robe and brownish vest dress-like.

"Mother! Father!" Rook greeted happily as he approached to his parents.

"Blonko! My son!" Rook's Mother greeted warmly as she gave Rook a warm hug, and even gave a kiss on his forehead. This make him a embarrassed. She smiled, "It is good of you return home."

Rook's father huffed in disappointment, "Perhaps, he should return home more frequently for harvest day. It would have been much more fairer and better than before. Things have become much more difficult than before."

Rook sighed while looked down in shame, "Father..."

Rook's mother approached and nudged her husband's shoulder, "Da! Please! Our son is the Plumber Cadet! You should be proud and happy for him, not disappointed in him! He's making a difference across the galaxy! You can't expect him to return home all the time." She gave annoyed looks at Rook, "Though I wish he write more letters to us. If your grandmother were here, she would have hit you by head."

Rook laughed a bit, "Apology, mother."

"Oh Bralla, please..." Rook Da groaned a bit. He turned and found Team Ben stood before him. He asked, "I assumed that all of them are your comrades and guests?"

"Yes, father. They are," Rook agreed. He turned and looked at his friends, "My friends, these are my parents. My father - Rook Da and my mother - Rook Bralla."

Team Ben approached and gave a bow before Rook Da and Rook Baralla. Ben commented, "It is an honor to meet you both."

Rook Da hummed in surprise, "I am surprise that Earthlings know the means of 'bow of respect'. I thought they handshake as the means of greeting and respect."

"Not necessary, Mr. Rook," Julie explained, "Earth culture got different kinds of culture."

Helen approached and bowed humbly before Rook Da and Rook Bralla, "It is an honor to be part of your family, father and mother."

Rook Da and Rook Bralla looked shock and surprised. They turned and looked at each other as they actually have no idea that their son would adopt and let Helen be part of their family. They both hummed in concern yet thoughtfully.

"Helen, is it?" Rook Bralla asked curiously, She approached and held Helen, "It is an honor to meet you. I am happy to have you as one of our family, my dear daughter."

Helen smiled, "Thank you, mother."

Rook Da groaned, "I'm not sure this is a wise idea. For centuries, Revonnahgander has never adopted a off-worlder as part of the family. It is hard to tell if she's willing to learn our tradition and way of harvesting the Amber Ogia."

Helen looked confuse. Rook approached and held her close to him, "Father, I understand it is difficult for you to change and accept Helen as daughter. But I assure you that she's a fast learner and very respectful to our culture and way. Please, give her a chance to prove it, as well as getting to know more about her. She's very kind and friendly."

"Please, father! Can we keep her as our sister?" Rook Shi asked happily, "I want to race with her!"

Rook Shim nodded, "I'd be happy to help her get comfortable with our home, as well as making sure that she follow our way."

"If our brother trust her, so can we. Helen and us have become friends and sisters. We do not mind of having her around," Rook Shar said confidently as she approached and gave a pat on Helen's head, "We will be responsible of looking after her."

"Yeah!" Young One agreed, "She's better than other sisters."

"HEY!" Rook Shar, Rook Shim and Rook Shi exclaimed, feeling offended.

Sheriff Wat-Senn chuckled a bit, "Looks like we have the high votes."

Rook Bralla nodded, "Indeed, it is, Sheriff. I'd love to know more about my new daughter. Wouldn't you agree, Da?"

Still unconvinced about it, Rook Da sighed in defeat and reluctance, "Very well. Helen can stay with us." Rook's siblings cheered wildly and happily. He cleared his throat, silencing them. He continued, But I have high expectation that all of you will be mindful and respectful to our tradition and ways. I do not tolerate mischief and troubles in my homeland. Above else, do not approach or communicate with Master Kundo. He does not take strangers kindly."

"Yeah. Rook warn us that earlier." Ben chuckled uneasily.

"Will do, sir," Tetrax saluted, surprising and confusing Rook Da. He chuckled a bit as he relaxed his arm, "Sorry, sir. This 'salute' gesture also means of respect to high authority."

Rook Da hummed a bit, "Interesting. Perhaps, learning Earth culture could be interesting. Come let us go inside now. Night in Revonnah is very cold." He turned and looked at sheriff, "Sheriff, would you be joining us to our dinner?"

Sheriff Wat-Senn smiled while rubbing his gloves, "Don't mind if I do, sir."

Both Rook Family, Team Ben, and even Sheriff Wat-Sennn went inside the ranch house for dinner now. Unknown to anyone, something or strange creatures are climbing up the mountains from the ground. What are they?


Inside the house, Rook Family have set up their dinner for themselves and their guests as well. They're sitting down on the long table, filled with cooked alien food such as biscuit, lasagna, jelly-like and even soup. This shocked and surprise Team Ben sans Rook.

Sheriff Wat-Senn gently and calmly sniffed on the food, "Hmm-hum! Yup. Da and Bralla, you still cook the best meal."

"We appreciate that comment, sheriff," Rook Bralla said calmly.

"So, what are they again?" Ben asked curiously.

"All of them are Amber Ogia," Rook explained, surprised Team Ben. He continued to explain, "Yes, my friends, it is true. This fruit is quite multitask. It's not only used for food, but other as well such as clothing, materials, construction and even fuel."

Ben whistled, "Wow... That is one multitask fruit..."

Julie nodded in surprise, "Yeah. I'd expecting Revonnah has some different kind of fruits. I mean, you guys are farmers."

"There were. But Amber Ogia are the best fruits because they have rich vitamins and proteins in it," Helen explained calmly while chewing the scrambles. She found Rook Da looked at her in surprise. She cleared her throat, "I learn and tried the fruit from Rook. He does plant and grow them at Plumber Headquarter's garden."

"I see. How knowledgeable you are to aware of our home and agriculture, Young Helen," Rook Da commented. He turned and glared at Rook, "However, son, you should not plant them on their home. How do we know that they do not use them against us to surrender more to them?"

"Father, I assure you that Plumbers only use them as food, nothing else. Magister Tennyson has given strict order of using Amber Ogia as fruits only," Rook said calmly.

"Trust me. Grandpa Max always kept his word and make sure no one tried to mess with him." Ben explained calmly as he used the spoon to eat it. He hummed calmly, "Wow. These are great."

Eating some biscuits and even feeding some to Ship, Julie nodded happily, "Yeah. Even though they're Amber Ogia, they tasted differently."

Rook Bralla giggled a bit, "Why, thank you, dear. I used different ingredients to make them unique and tasteful than others. That way it doesn't taste the same."

Rook Da was unconvinced. Sheriff Wat-Senn spoke, "Rook Da, for two years, I have given my word that my platoon did not use your fruits as materials and fuel, just food only. And I've known Tennyson when we were cadets. I trusted him as well. He will honor and keep them safe."

Still unconvinced and concern, Rook Da sighed of reluctance, "Very well. I will put my mind at ease."

Young One cleared his throat, "Hey, Ben! What does it feel like to transform?"

"Sort of like a good stretch," Ben commented calmly and playfully, "When you become Heatblast, you can hardly feeling burning on yourself at all. Of course, when you become strong alien like Four Arms or Humongousaur, muscle can be tingling and tense. And the most painful thing is when you have something stretched out from my body like wings and fangs. That hurts a lot."

"Cool..." Young One commented in surprise.

"Miss Yamamoto, may I ask you something?" Rook Shim asked calmly. Julie looked at her. She pointed at Ship, "From what Young One told me about him, this creature consume whole of you a lot. Does it hurt you when you transform?"

"It's not consuming. It's called bonding, Shim," Young One corrected.

Julie giggled a bit, "Young One's right. And no, Ship doesn't hurt me when we both merged together as one. You could say that he's giving me a strong armor."

Rook Shim asked, "I see. Do you think that you can help me find one? I would like to make a pet like yours, Miss. Yamamoto."

Choked a bit during chewing on scrambles, Julie cleared a bit, "Well, not exactly, Shim. He sort of come to me. But I'm happy to help you find one."

Rook Shim smiled, "Thank you, Miss Yamamoto."

"Just call me, Julie," Julie said calmly.

"So, can you tell me how you and brother meet?" Rook Shi asked Helen, making her to look at her. She continued, "It must be incredible story of how kind and brotherly he is to you."

Helen smiled, "Happy to tell you, kid. Believe me. Our first meeting wasn't easy during our week off. Despite that, your elder brother has been there for me, helping me, teaching and training me, playing sports and of course, bonding time as well. He's like a brother to me. He even claimed that I reminded him of you. He even adopted me as his sister."

Rook Shi looked surprise, "Cool. I've had a good feeling that we're good friends. Still, I really wanna a race with you."

Helen giggled, "No problem. But I'll go easy on you, after all, this is your first time to meet Kineceleran."

"Yeah, right. I appreciate that you and I have a fair race with everything we have," Rook Shi said confidently, "And also, I hate losing."

Helen smirked, "Alright, kid. I also hate losing too."

"Is it true that you personally train Blonko?" Rook Shar asked curiously.

Tetrax nodded, "I did. Your brother did pretty well with his training especially following and respecting the rule-book and even got skills in martial arts especially Wing Chun. He's adapting and getting well with Earth Customs, though still struggling with expression and metaphor."

Rook Shar smiled, "I am sure that brother can handle it. In time, he will prove you that he can understand the expression and metaphor."

Tetrax chuckled a bit, "I'm sure he can."

Watching his children interacting and chatting with Team Ben, Rook Da couldn't help but smile a bit about them. He looked at Rook, "It seems that your sisters and brother are in good terms with your friends especially your newly adopted sister. I must admit, son. I'm... a bit of concern and uneasy to greeting them here as our guests, but they have proven me wrong. Perhaps, meeting them and learning more of their culture and custom cannot be worse."

Rook smiled, "So, you approve of meeting and trading with other worlds? Do you still accept and consider me as the warrior?"

Rook Da sighed, "I won't deny of seeing other worlds. However, you and I know that is not my decision. The council including Master Kundo must be convinced to accept them. We both know that it will not be easy."

"Yes, father. I understand." Rook said calmly, "But I still believe that we should adapt some new changes for making Revonnah better. Otherwise, we will not be well prepare for the danger."

"You have make a valid point, my son. However, if we do make new changes, then what will happen to our tradition and ways? Will we abandon and forgotten them like a relic?" Rook Da questioned, shocked Rook. He continued, "Without the tradition, we will astray from our path to honor, duty and also righteous. This will be the most dishonorable and disrespectful to not just our tradition, but also our ancestors, who worked very hard and maintain peace and duty to our land."

Rook looked shock and concern as he spoke, "Father, I didn't mean to-!"

KNOCK! Everyone was alerted by the sound of knock. Rook Bralla cleared her throat. "I will get it."

Rook Bralla got up and approached to the window. She opened it in two, where she found a young female Revonnahgander with purple hair, black marks on face and a yellowish diamond-like on her forehead worn a yellow dress and has a black band decorated with flowers on her head.

"Why, hello, Rayona. It is good to see you," Rook Bralla greeted warmly.

Rayona bowed humbly, "Good evening, Rook Bralla. It is good to see you well. May I know Rook Blonko is here? I saw his ship-?!" She was interrupted upon looking at Blonko. She gasped, "Oh, hello, Blonko! It is good to see you here. I haven't seen you for a long time, despite we've used tesser-burst for quite sometimes."

Happy and surprised, Rook stood up and approached to Rayona. They both hugged. He spoke, "Rayona, it is good to see you again. I have missed you so much."

Rayon smiled, "As do I. I have missed you so much, Blonko. I wish we could spend more time together like before you leave our home."

"We will. Will you join our family for tomorrow harvest?"

"I was going to ask you about tonight. But yes, I will be there tomorrow, Blonko."

"Good. Because I have special gift for you to see and hope you honor and accept it."

"Whatever the gift is, I am confident that it is very beautiful and brightest gift you ever bought to me. I know it."

Rook and Rayona continued chatting and talking warmly and calmly. Team Ben looked confuse and curious about them. Rook Shar giggled amusingly.

"That is Rayona. She's my brother's girlfriend," Rook Shar explained, shocked Team Ben and even Helen to spill juice out at Ben's face. She coughed a bit. She giggled a bit, "You seem surprised."

Helen coughed a bit before drinking a water. She sighed, "Yeah, no kidding. I thought he was too busy to get a girlfriend. He did spent a lot of time with me than any girls at Plumber Academy."

Ben nodded in agreement wile using napkin to wipe the juice off from his face, "Yeah. Rook is a 'Mr. Uptight By-the-Book' himself, always keep following the rules and never have the time for fun for most of the time."

"I already know it," Julie said amusingly, surprised Ben. She smirked slyly, "Call it ladies' instinct."

Ben groaned a bit, "Right..."

"You'd be more surprise of how many girls admire and love our brother so much," Rook Shar said calmly yet slyly, "However, he chose Rayona. He consider her to be the most beautiful girl he ever met and love. Nothing can change his mind."

Julie nodded in understanding, "Spoken of a true love, I supposed."

While everyone was chatting, Rook Da and Rook heard something amiss, making them alerted and uneasy. Rook Da grabbed and armed with torch-like device. Rook held and pushed Rayona inside the house. As both father and son armed with their weapons, they approached to the edge of the mountain. And just before they could do anything, something of a group of them have jumped out from the abyss, shocking and surprising them to back off.

Rook and his father found twelve armored armadillo-like rodents with long nostril, long tail and four legs. To their shock and concerns, they all stood up with two hind legs. They all screeched out loud at them.

"I don't believe it!" Rook said in shock, "The Muroids stand with two legs?! How is it possible?!"

Rook Da hissed in concern, "I'm afraid I do not know. But I do know is that these creatures have caused troubles to our harvest crops from the last few days. Protect our family!"

Rook and his father blasted their Proto-Tool and torch-like blaster at the Muroids, who fearfully backed off. Team Ben got off from their seats as they were about to help them. Tetrax fired his shards at them. Julie formed with Ship into Armorstrike as she blasted the blasters at them. Ben has transformed into Heatblast as he launched the Blaze Shots at them. Helen charged and knocked them off.

During their fierce battle, Team Ben and their allies continued pushing the enemies back to the edge. Most of the Muroids make the run from them. One of them jumped and rolled straight at Rook Da's chest, knocking him to the ground before making the run from them.

"Father!" Rook shouted in concern as he approached and checked on his father. He asked, "Are you alright?"

Rook Da grunted a bit, "I am fine, son. I'll live."

"What the heck were those things?" Heatblast asked.

"Muroids..." Rook explained, "Those are the rodents that often threatened to attack us while feeding on Amber Ogio, despite using their droppings helped fertilize them. However, they're not supposed to stand with two legs. They're animals."

Rook Da nodded, "Indeed. What could this mean?"

"I have the feeling that they'll be back," Tetrax said firmly and calmly, "When they do, we'll be ready to push them back. Count on it."

"Do not worry. They will only come and attack by nighttime," Rook Da said seriously, "On daytime, they will not dare to come and attack us or even tried to eat Amber Ogio. They hated daylight. It blinded their eyes."

Sheriff Wat-Senn hummed in concern, "Still, I'll send my platoon on patrol and guard duty, keeping an eye out for troubles and rodents."

"Appreciate it, Sheriff," Rook Da said calmly and firmly, "For now, we rest. By morning, we shall harvest all of Amber Ogia for harvest. We need everyone's strength and cooperation to complete our job before the last day of Harvest Festival. It has to be perfect."

Everyone nodded firmly and calmly. They're now heading back inside the house for rest and sleep for tomorrow's morning for work. Sheriff Wat-Senn returned to his office for a sleep. Rook Da and Rook Bralla slept together in their master bedroom. Rook Blonko, Ben and Young One slept together in the bedroom. Julie slept together with Rook Shar. Helen slept together with Rook Shim and Rook Shim. Tetrax slept on the couch at the living room.


Inside Rook's bedroom, Rook was sleeping on the bottom of bunk bed's while Young One was sleeping on top. Ben was sleeping on the bottom. He was looking at the poster, which has the muscular warrior worn the dark greenish suit with battle armor, worn a headband on his forehead with Omnitrix symbol, had a gunslinger on his right side and on his left arm had the metallic gauntlet-like with Omnitrix posed the heroic pose.

Ben groaned a bit, "I don't know. He doesn't look like me. He doesn't even have my charms and cool postures. He's more like a brute and jerk type of a guy."

"He may not look like you, but he's still a cool and best superhero I ever seen and heard." Young One explained as he climbed down from the bunk bed's top one. He giggled a bit, "Couldn't sleep. I get excited and happy that you're gonna be here for the Harvest Day. How awesome is that?"

"I have to be honest with you. I'm not exactly the best at farming. Can't stand the smell and some heavy duty workouts," Ben admitted sheepishly.

Young One smiled, "Don't worry, you've got me and my brother to help you around." He gasped, "Oh yeah! I almost forgot! It's almost time!"

Ben looked confuse and uncertain of what Young One was doing. He approached to his drawer, where he brought down tesser-burst the old technology-like with bulbs-like and radio headsets.

"This is tesser-burst," Young One explained, "Even though we can't see, we can hear and imagine of what they do. Kinda like the radio. And also, father said that using too much of extranet might rot your brain. I used it, at least for 2 hours only."

Ben smiled, "Alright. Time to hear this Ben 10 Show."

Both Ben and Young One took and placed the headsets on their ears. They then listened to the radio carefully as they heard some heroic-villainous dialogues and even some action noises.

"Okay. Hate to admit. That sounds awesome!" Ben exclaimed in surprise, "Though the dialogue really need some work out. Plus, the actor is horrible."

Young One shrugged, "Well, nothing is perfect. And did you know the reason why my brother wanted to meet you?" Ben shrugged a bit. He pointed at the poster. He snickered, "He was expecting you to be like that guy. And between you and me, I don't like him. I heard that the actor was a jerk. Don't tell Rook I said that."

Ben snickered, "Deal."

Rook yawned out loud while snoring, "Young One, I can hear you, even if I was sleeping. And I really hope Ben was like the one from show, even though it is fictional."

Young One yelped, "Yikes. I forget that one!"

Ben chuckled a bit, "Come on, kid. Get some sleep. We've got work to do tomorrow. And hoping not to get your dad's bad side."

Young One nodded happily as he and Ben went back to their bed for resting now.


On the next day, most of Revonnahdanger woke up and began their work on harvest day such as tending and plucking the Amber Ogia out from the giant rocks; feeding, training and taking care of a large blue colored alien blue-greenish striped horse-like with long six legs and twin long whiskers-like called Raidsteeds, some of them were training and practicing their martial arts and even working together with Plumber Platoon for keeping their eyes out for any sign of troubles or Muroids, and some were planting and tending the plants and fruits.

At Rook's Farm, Rook Da was tended and cared by his wife while they were supervising the guests and children of handling the farmland.

Feeling his chest hurt, Rook Da grunted a bit, "That is right. Keep this up. And remember, make sure that you take very care of Amber Ogia. Pluck them out gently, and do not let the juice spill on you or else, it will attract the unwanted attention of Muroids."

"Dear husband, do not exert your strength too much. You might not recover fully," Rook Bralla said calmly, "Trust our children especially our eldest son. They have done this before."

"I know. But the guests do not know much of the farms. I can tell by their looks especially Ben Tennyson," Rook Da said seriously, "I feared that he might do something foolish and disrespectful to our harvest work."

Rook Bralla smiled a bit, "You worry too much. Now rest, my dear husband."

"Very well," Rook Da sighed as he took his seat while glaring at Ben's working on Amber Ogia's rock, "I am keeping an eye on him..."

Rook Shar and Julie were tending and taking care of Raidsteeds by gently yet firmly feeding and bathing them. They were bathing the last one.

"Wow. What are these things?" Julie asked curiously.

"We call them Raidsteeds," Rook Shim explained gently, "They're known to be strongest and fastest steeds we ever have. However, in order to ride them, we must earn their trust and respect, or else they will resist and fight them violently. It will not be easy to tame them. My father, brother and Shar have fought and captured five of them."

"I see. These things are something not to be mess with," Julie nodded while looking at Raidsteed. She patted it gently. The horse-like alien neighed a bit as it gently nuzzle and like her. She giggled, "Hey, that tickles. I thought you might not like me."

Rook Shim giggled, "I think she likes you for kindness and gentle towards her."

"Yeah, I get that," Julie agreed. She then found Ship barked happily at Raidsteed, who neighed softly while nuzzled the Mechamorph Pup's head. She smiled, "Looks like they're friends."

Both Rook Shar and Tetrax have returned from the grocery and hardware shops as they have bought more materials, ingredients and tools for the farm and Harvest Day. They began to plant and grow some plants, and even working and checking on the large metallic yet advanced silos.

"So, this is the Amber Ogia Silo, huh?" Tetrax asked in surprise as he was hammering the nails against the silo's side, "So, why would you store the Amber Ogio in there? I mean you are going to use them everyday, right?"

"Not necessary," Rook Shar disagreed, "Amber Ogia may have been very fresh and multitask fruits. However, if they're not store in normal temperature, or at least, a slightly lowered temperature, they might go bad or Muroids may eat them at once. By using the silo, it will keep them fresh and cold as well as protecting them from the rodents. That way, we will know when the time is right to use them for materials, fuel or even cook them."

Tetrax hummed thoughtfully, "Hmm... Quite genius. No wonder your brother keep insisting to have the silos for storing the Amber Ogia."

"Mr. Shard, may I ask you something?" Rook Shar asked, Tetrax turned and looked at her. She asked, "How is my brother doing? I have hope that he did not cause trouble to your team or the academy."

"Well... Your brother's doing alright. In fact, he has aced most of academy's tests and trials especially following the rules strictly and disciplinary. He has done well with his work and adapted to the situation well. He's still learning about our culture and customs, and also learn how to loosen up and also get serious with his duty, though got problem with understanding the expression."

"I see. Sounds adventurous..." Rook Shar said calmly. She sighed, "Between you and me, Master Shard, I too wish to see and learn more about the world as well. I wish to become strong and wise like my brother."

"Hmm... You want to become a Plumber Cadet?"

"Yes. I get to see the world, and perhaps, help the people as well as showing and sharing my knowledge and culture with them or they share theirs with me. But I fear my father would disapprove of it as he disapprove with my brother's decision."

"Well, how would you know if you don't ask him," Tetrax asked curiously, "And who knows? Your father might change his mind and view over Blonko's decision to become the Plumber. He might accept his destiny. It's better to ask than saying nothing or else you might regret the chance."

"But do you think father would accept my choice?" Rook Shar asked.

Tetrax shrugged, "Who knows? He might say yes."

Thought of what he has said, Rook Shar smiled, "Thank you, Master Shard. I will ask father about this..."

Tetrax chuckled as he gave Rook Shar a gentle shake on her hair, "Just call me 'Tetrax', kid. I'm not your mentor or boss. Just a friend."

Rook Shar giggled a bit, "As you wish, friend..."

Ben, Rook, Helen and Rook Shi were using long sickle-like instruments in cutting and tearing out Amber Ogia from the roots to the rocks. Young One used some baskets in collecting all of Amber Ogia. Ben approached to another rock, where he found some greenish-bluish colored of Amber Ogia, which confuse and concern him. As he tried to cut it off, he then tried to grab and lift it up. However, he found it to be heavy.

"What the?! Why is this thing heavy?!" Ben asked in surprise.

"That is because the Amber Ogia you tried to lift is not ripe," Rook explain. He cut the roots before grab and held the yellowish-orange colored fruit. He continued, "This is fresh form of Amber Ogia."

"Wow... It's hard to believe that a little fruit like this could be used for almost everything..."

"Believe it or not, it is true. My father told me the story of how the first Revonnahgander ever discover the multitask fruits." Rook said firmly and proudly,

"It happens from 500 years ago when our world entered the state of famine, the Revonahganders struggled to survive and endure with limited food or water for almost 10 years. During that 10 years, the tribes often went out for war against each other to find more supplies for themselves, spilling countless deaths and destruction. Then, one night, a young Revonahgander, goes by the name of Jaklie, travel far and wide for ten days, hoping to find a solution to save his people. He came across to a giant rock, filled with strange fruits. Because of his starvation and exhaustion, he tried and tasted it. For the fist time in his life, he has never tasted the fruit before in his life. He even make a discovery of how it can be used, not just for food but also materials. So, he collected as much as he can for all the tribes as they will no longer need to fight and conquer. As he taught and train them how the Amber Ogia works for everything and even how to grow them, they have declared him to be the 'First Leader of Revonnah'. They call him 'Great Savior' or 'Miracle Worker'."

"Wow. That's some story," Ben commented in amazement while continued cutting down some fresh Amber Ogia, "So, how many do we need to collect them?"

"As much as you can that can last for 10 years. You can never tell when will Muroids come and swarm over the fruits."

"I'm guessing. Lots and lots of them."

"Yes, indeed, it is."

Putting down the tenth basket, Young One grunted a bit while stretched himself out, "It's a lot of hard work and not easy job too."

"Well, don't mind if I turn into alien?" Ben asked curiously, making Rook worried and uneasy. He smiled, "Relax. I'm not gonna turn into some crazy alien." He activated his Omnitrix and turn into teenage Ditto worn the dark greenish suit with black stripes on shoulder sleeves and black boots, and has whitish orb on shoulders, "Time to multiply! The more numbers we've got, the faster we can get the job done!"

"Cool! I like Ditto! They do many things!" Young One exclaimed happily.

Rook nodded in agreement, "I agree. By using Splixion's ability, we might able to gather more of Amber Ogia. That is genius, Ben."

"I maybe a hotshot guy, but I ain't dumb and ass," Ditto said calmly. Splitting himself into fifty of them, he spoke up, "Alright, guys. Let's get started! Split into two team. One cut the Amber Ogia off while another collect them. Alright, let's do it, folks!"

"Yes, sir!" Dittos saluted proudly.

Fifty Dittos split up into a team of two. They began cutting off the Amber Ogia form the rocks while collecting and carrying them in the baskets. Rook and Young One helped as well. Rook Da and Rook Bralla looked surprise by Ben's action of getting the job. They were impressed.

"Looks like they got this cover," Helen said calmly as she put down the sickle, "Hey, Shi. Wanna go for the ride?"

Rook Shi looked surprise, "Huh? Why? You want to ride the Raidsteeds?"

"No, silly," Helen grabbed and held Rook Shi on her back, which surprise the young Revonnahgander. She continued with a smile, "I want you to try and feel my speed power. That way you'll know how fast I can go."

Rook Shi awed in amazement, "Let's do this!"

"Rook Helen! Take care of Shi! Do not do anything reckless," Rook Bralla called.

Helen waved to her adopted mother, "Don't worry, Bralla. I got this! I won't get her into trouble! Trust me!"

And just before Rook Bralla could say anything, Helen ran off at once, speeding and running around Revonnah Villages while holding Rook Shi tight on her back. Rook Bralla sighed in concern while Rook Da groaned and shook his head, fearing that they might get into trouble. Helen continued running around, going in high speed while Rook Shi cheered out wildly and happily.

"This is surprisingly amazing!" Rook Shi cheered out loud, "Rook Helen, you are the best! I can't wait for us to play some sports. I want to see who wins the game!"

Helen giggled, "Can't wait to try!"

Helen and Rook Shi were heading back to Rook Clan's Mansion. Unfortunately, they found a tall Revonahgander had white hair around his chin and had a black marks worn a red robe with black accents, a large beaded necklace, and brown leg and arm wraps. They both screamed and panicked, alerted to turn and found them heading towards him, making him panicked. They got collided and crashed on each other, which alerted the others to come out of mansion.

The strict older Revonahgander grunted as he slowly got up. He looked at Helen, who was rubbing her head while grumbled painfully.

"A Kineceleran?! What is this creature doing here?!" The strict older Revonnahgander demanded. He even found Rook Shi hissed in pain as she rubbed her head gently. He snarled as he armed with his bo staff with sickle, "You dare kidnap and harm an innocent child?! Prepare to face my wrath!"

And just before the strict older Revonnahgander struck his bo staff at Helen, Ditto charged and pushed her aside before he got his head whacked, making the rest of them yelped in pain. They all rubbed their heads gently and firmly.

"Hey, that hurt!" Dittos exclaimed in pain and anger.

Older strict Revonnahgander demanded in anger, "What?! A Splixion?! Here?!"

"Master Kundo, wait, do not harm them!" Rook called out as he and his father arrived at the scene, "They mean no harm!"

"Rook Blonko?! Here?!" Master Kundo demanded suspiciously. He then looked at Ditto and Helen. He groaned, "You brought them here?!"

"Please, Master, I apologize. But they're my guests," Rook explained, "I just wish to bring and show them the way of our tradition and even Amber Ogia. And I assure you that they have no interest of stealing and using them against us."

Rook Shi nodded as she went towards Helen, "Yeah. Sister Helen and I were just running around the village."

"Sister?! You adopt this creature as your sister?!" Master Kundo demanded furiously, scaring almost everyone in the mansion. He glared at Rook, "Not only you abandon your duty to our world and become the 'slave' to the off-worlds, but you allow and bring the off-worlders here, and even adopt this thing as your sister?! You dishonor your family! Have you no shame?!"

Rook looked down in shame, "Master, I was just-!"

"Wow! Cool off!" Ditto exclaimed as he transformed back to Ben. He continued, "We're not some bad people or alien you think of! We're the good guys! I'm pretty sure you know me as Ben 10, right?"

Master Kundo scoffed, "All I see is intruder, who claimed the lies for our world's resources! Leave now or-!"

"Cool your jets, Kundo!" Sheriff Wat-Senn called. He approached to Master Kundo, "Ben 10 is one of the Plumber Commanders, and so as his team. I can vouch for that! They won't cause the problem to your world."

Master Kundo groaned, "I am not convinced by your claim. However, be sure that you will keep your outsiders away from our people and Amber Ogia. They're off limits to them! I shall proceed and check on other Revonnahgander and their progress."

Master Kundo proceed to another village, leaving both Rook Family and Team Ben.

"How friendly," Julie commented sarcastically while holding angry Ship glaring and snarling at Master Kundo's back.

"What's with him?" Ben asked in annoyance.

"As I've said before, Ben, Master Kundo is not known to be greeting and trusting off-worlder and sees them a threat to our people and tradition," Rook said in concern. He approached to Helen, "Are you alright?"

Helen nodded, "I'm fine." She turned and found Rook Da looked at her. She sighed, "I'm sorry, Rook Da."

"I warned you to stay away from him, didn't I, Helen?" Rook Da scolded seriously. He sighed as he approached and help carrying Rook Shi, "Come. Let us return to work now. We're running out of time."

Rook Da carried and taken Rook Shi back to his home. Helen sighed, "I had the feeling that he hates me."

"Don't be absurd, kid," Sheriff Wat-Senn said firmly, "Sure he gets angry, but Rook Da never hates anyone and even you like Master Kundo. He was just protective of his family. He will warm you up. Eventually."

Rook nodded, "Yes. My father will acknowledge you as family, Helen. I assure you."

Helen sighed, "I hope you're right, Rook."

And just before Rook and his friends, he then noticed and found Rayona was helping her parents of cutting off the Amber Ogia, as well as collecting them. She turned and noticed him looking at her. She waved to him. He blushed as he waved back to her.

"Nice going, Mr. Uptight Guy," Ben commented playfully, "Just hope some crazy fan girls don't go crazy over you."

"Like you?" Julie asked in annoyance, scared Ben. She growled a bit while whispered to his ears, "Careful, you wouldn't your girlfriend to be a tiger to bite you."

Ben yelped in fear, "Aw, come on! Give me a break, Julie!"

"Actually, I have something special for Rayona. I'm showing this to you three. You must never tell anyone else." Rook said seriously and calmly. Ben, Julie and Helen looked surprise yet curious. They nodded a bit. He then took the blue box out from his metal pocket. He even open the case, revealing something shock to them. They looked at him with surprise looks. He smiled, "Yes. I want to do it."

"Dude! That's so awesome!" Ben exclaimed proudly.

Julie nodded, "You should do it, Rook. You may never take this chance again."

"Thank you for your supports, my friends." Rook said in relief. He turned and found Helen looked uneasy and disappointed. He asked, "Helen, what is it?"

Helen yelped with the blush of red. She muttered while covering her face, "Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing's wrong!"

Ben and Julie looked worry as they have had the feeling that Helen was crushed due to finding out that her crush on Rook has actually have a girlfriend before meeting and befriending her.

Rook smiled as he held Helen's shoulders, "Helen, please tell me. If there's something you want to tell me? I'm happy to listen."

Ben and Julie yelped in concern as they're now worried and feared that Helen might say something silly and regret that could break Rook's heart and feeling.

And just before she could say anything, they all heard some scream. They quickly returned to the Rook's Farm, where they found something shocking and surprising - more of Muroids especially one of them is bigger and stronger while wearing gangster's helmet-like and armor on daylight. They were threatening Rook's Family and Tetrax.

"No! It can't be!" Rook exclaimed in concern.

"I thought your dad said that they won't attack on daylight?!" Ben asked in confusion.

"They weren't!" Rook exclaimed in concern, "But no time for question! We must stop and defeat them at once!"

"Got it! It's Hero Time!" Ben exclaimed with his usual catchphrase.

Activating his Omnitrix, Ben slammed his wristwatch as he transformed into Mecha Bloxx. He activated and armed with twin blasters. Julie and Ship merged together and turned into Armorstrike. Rook, Tetrax and Sheriff Wat-Senn are armed with their blasters. Rook Da grunted while armed with his torch-like blaster. Rook Shar armed with her sickle to help both her father and friends. Rook Bralla moved and guided all of the children into the house.

Team Ben, Sheriff Wat-Senn, Rook Da and Rook Shar all charged and engaged the enemies at once. Rook Bralla blew the horn, alerting the rest of Revonnahgander Farmers and Warriors, and even Rayona and Master Kundo. They all armed with their poles, sickles, blades and torch blasters. They all charged and joined the battlefield as well.

Team Ben and some of the farmers including Rook Da and Rayona armed with blasters and torch-like blasters in blasting and driving the creatures away. Master Kundo and the warriors including Rook Shar and Helen engaged and repelled most of them at ease. They turned and faced the large Muroid, who has easily swung and knocked most of them off. Team Ben charged and engaged him at once. They all blasted and shot at him by limbs and body, but didn't faze yet annoyed him a lot. He make a squeak noise as he swung his giant paws at them off to the walls.

"Blonko! No!" Rayona exclaimed in concern as she charged and approached to him, "Are you alright, my love?"

Blonko grunted, "I am fine." He gasped upon looking at the giant creature approached and about to finish them off, "Rayona, move!"

Rook grabbed and held Rayona to cover from getting a hit. And just before the giant Muroid could finish them off, Master Kundo jumped high as he gave the loud shouts while slamming a powerful karate chop-like from head to bottom. He was cut into two, killing the giant creature, shocking Team Ben.

"Wow..." Mecha Bloxx commented in shock and surprise, "I know martial arts can do impossible style like flying and even breaking some heavy blocks of wooden, stone and bricks, and of course killing something strong. But to kill something so big..."

Armorstrike nodded, "I know... Impossible..."

"That move is the most devastating and dangerous move for killing anything big, small, strong and powerful. But improperly and wrongly use the move could kill the user. Only the strongest martial art warriors can perform it. My brother could not as it almost kill him during his advance training," Rook Shar explained, "We call this move 'Death Hand'."

"Damn it... I hate to imagine for Rook had actually use that move," Mecha Bloxx said in concern.

"First, the Muroids can stand on two legs. And now, they can walk in daylight?! They even have a giant creature?!" Rook Da asked in disbelief, "Unthinkable. It's impossible. That never happen before."

"No, they didn't..." Master Kundo said suspiciously. He turned and glared at Team Ben, "What chaos have you brought to our world, off-worlders?!"

Transformed back from Mecha Bloxx, Ben gasped in disbelief, "W-Wait! What?! You think this is our fault?! We just got here from yesterday!"

Julie nodded angrily, "Yeah. You can't blame us for what has happen to the Muroids! We hardly know anything about them!"

"And if this is about Amber Ogia, then you're sadly mistaken! We did not stage this and planned to steal them!" Tetrax exclaimed in anger.

Helen snarled while pointed at Master Kundo, "And if you dare accuse Rook Blonko, you've got another thing coming to you!"

Master Kundo grabbed and strangled Helen, "Tread the word carefully, filthy creature. I will show no hesitation or mercy to you. I could finish you off now."

"Master Kundo, stop!" Rook exclaimed as he freed Helen from Master Kundo's grip. He spoke up, "None of them did it! They have been with us since yesterday! They did not do anything wrong! I assure you for that!"

"If they didn't do it, then who did?!" Master Kundo demanded fiercely.

"Father! Mother! Something terrible has happen to the field!" Rook Shim called while pointed at the Amber Ogia field and crops.

Everyone turned and looked down on the mountains. They all gasped in shock and concern of what they were looking - the devastation site of crops and rocks. Almost all of fresh Amber Ogia are missing.

"No..." Rook Da said in shock.

Master Kundo turned and glared at Team Ben. He demanded, "What have you done?!"

"Is he serious?!" Ben asked in annoyance.

"Master Kundo, they do no such thing. They were with us." Rook Da said firmly, "You have my word."

Master Kundo groaned in frustration, "Very well. I have no doubts that they will return again. We must make preparation now! We must store and defend the remaining of Amber Ogia in the silos! We need them for our food supply and materials." He turned and glared at Rook, "Blonko, you better make sure these intruders are not to be taken out of sights if you wish to regain your honor!"

Rook sighed while bowed a bit, "Yes, Master Kundo."

Master Kundo grunted in anger as he turned and walked away from Rook Clan. He then discussed with other warriors and farmers about the preparation. Rook Da turned and looked at his son, who looked worry and upset. He groaned a bit while shaking his head as he went to his family for more discussion about the situation.

"Regain honor? What was that about?" Ben asked.

Julie nodded in concern, "Rook, did you do something wrong?"

Rook sighed, "No, I never did wrong before in my life. Master Kundo, like my father, never approve of my decision to become the Plumber Cadet and representative to our people. They think allowing off-worlders to be part of our planet is the most disgraceful and dishonorable way to our tradition."

"To be honest, that master has gone coocoo and stiff over technology and tradition," Sheriff Wat-Senn commented dryly.

Tetrax sighed, "Either way, we need to deal with the Muroids. According to Rook and his family, Muroids are just rodents and animals. They can't stand with two legs or even walk in daylight. Something tells me that someone's behind this mess."

"Someone must be smart and patient enough to make them intelligent," Julie added, "It has to be a mad scientist. That's for sure."

"Definitely," Ben agreed, "We need to catch one of them, finding out how the heck make them smart and handle daylight."

"Like a trap?" Helen asked curiously.

"Like a trap," Everyone agreed firmly.


In the evening, all of Revonnahganders have been gathered at the mountain site, which has thousands and more of silos housing and storing more of Amber Ogias. Some of the workers were looking and checking on them, making sure they're fresh and edible to store. Plumber Cadets were patrolling and guarding the area, led by Sheriff Wat-Senn. Rook Clan and Team Ben were there as well, looking at the silo.

Rook Da sighed in relief, "A good first day's work."

"Look at the size of those things." Ben commented.

Julie nodded, "Yeah. You guys would able to use them for 10 years."

Rook chuckled a bit, "They are not that big when you consider that they hold a year's supply of food, fuel, and material goods for the surrounding farms." He hummed in concern, "Still, do you believe that the Muroids would dare to attack our silos? I have doubts that they would be bold to come and eat when we outnumber them."

"After what has been happening, they'll come," Ben said firmly, "And besides, someone gave them the brains and guts to do this."

"Right on queue!" Julie exclaimed as she pointed at the front.

Everyone turned and found the small squadrons of twelve Muroids, who now worn the spiked helmets, along with five giant creatures. They all armed and readied for the fight.

"What?! I-Impossible!" Master Kundo exclaimed in disbelief, "They're bold enough to attack us?!"

"Just as your friends have said, son," Rook Da said in disbelief, "They really do come and attack us..."

Ben hits his Omnitrix as he transformed into Four Arms, "Alright, guys. We need to push and hold them back. By chance, we need to catch one of them. We need to know how the heck they became smart and bold enough to do the impossible."

"Take them down now!" Rook ordered firmly.

As ordered, Team Ben and Revonnahgander charged and repelled them at once. Four Arms and Tetrax charged and engaged the large Muroids due tot hem are strong enough to punch and knock them off. Armorstrike and Helen watch over Rook's mother and siblings while firing and knocking the creatures off. Rook, his father, his sister and girlfriend were fighting and knocking them fiercely and determinedly. Both Plumber Cadets and Revonnahganders were engaging them as well. Master Kundo ruthlessly and angrily fought and killed them with his weapons.

During the midst of battle, ten giant armored orange-black colored mechas with large cannon and has the skull symbols on the chest have climbed to the mountain, where they grabbed and collected the rest of Amber Ogia. Rook Shim, Rook Shi and Young One were alerted as they screamed and yelled the rest about the Muroids are stealing the Amber Ogia. And at the same time, they charged and whacked the machines, with their sickles. But they got thrown and knocked against the silo's metallic walls.

After defeating and repelling most of Muroids, Team Ben and the rest of their allies turned back and engage the enemies. Unfortunately for them, they were too late to stop the creatures in time. The Muroids have collected enough of Amber Ogio as they climbed down and retreated at once.

"Damn it! They've gotten away!" Rook exclaimed in frustration.

"Yes, they took most of the Amber Ogia supply..." Rook Da remarked in defeat, "They should have eaten the food in first sight, than stealing. This is unlike them..."

Four Arms grunted as he slammed on the ground, "Damn it! I knew these things are getting smarter and bolder, but I didn't realize that they can use the machines." He transformed back into Ben. He looked at Rook Da, "Mr. Rook. Please don't blame your son. This plan is my fault, alone. No one else. I'll take this for my responsible."

"Ben..." Julie said in concern.

"Please, Ben. Do not take this punishment for my sake." Rook pleaded, "I should have scout and do recon around our supply factory."

"No. The fault is mine, Ben. I've had underestimated the Muroids again. I should have properly deploy the defense position properly." Rook Da said firmly and seriously. He turned and looked at Rook. He gave a gentle pat, "You did your best, son. So, do your friends..."

"Father?" Rook said in surprise yet relief. He bowed, "Thank you, father."

Helen approached to Rook Shim, Rook Shi and Young One. Three of them have received some bruises on their arms and heads. She hissed in concern while looking at their injuries. She brought the bag close to her.

"This is bad," Helen commented in concern. She took out the medical cream bottle and elixir. She looked at her adopted siblings, "Better hold on. This might sting a bit especially my speed to make your bruises go away."

Rook Siblings nodded firmly yet fearfully. Helen poured the cream on her adopted siblings' limbs and heads. He began rubbed gently yet swiftly and quickly, making the bruises to go away. They yelped in pain, feeling the burn.

The yell of pain has alerted Master Kundo to turn and looked at what Helen was doing to the children. Sensing yet suspicious of threat, he yelled in anger as he swung his bo-staff at her head, right against the walls hard. This shocked and alerted everyone.

"Master Kundo, what the heck?!" Sheriff Wat-Senn demanded in shock.

"This creature attacked the children!" Master Kundo exclaimed in anger, "I saw them with my own eyes!"

Helen shook her head, "No! I was treating their wounds. The bruises would have been swollen if I don't react!"

"She's telling the truth!" Rook Shi confirmed, "It is pain when we have bruises!"

Rook Shim nodded, "She was helping and treating our wounds!"

"Stop spreading lies to young children!" Master Kundo exclaimed in anger and fury, "I grow tired of this! The off-worlders have failed to assist and protect our Amber Ogia for second time! You all saw how incapable and pathetic they are especially one of them have failed to protect the children! And even harm them!"

Helen was shocked by his accusation, Rook Bralla spoke, "Master Kundo! You cannot possibly accuse her like this! All of us were focusing on stopping the Muroids, and did not expect them using machine!"

"This is precisely what I've warn you all! We should not have trusted these outsiders and their machines! They are the cause of our Amber Ogia's stolen, and will bring the downfall to our tradition and ways!" Master Kundo snapped in anger and fury, "Rook Blonko should not have brought them here especially adopting this creature as his sister! He has brought shame and dishonor to his clan and people! We will never ever accept them or even allow them to be treated as guests and friends! They will always be outsiders and invaders!"

Team Ben was shocked by Master Kundo's accusation towards them. Revonnahganders were chattering and debating about Team Ben. Some believed that they did their best to help them while others felt Master Kundo was right. Helen, however, was hurt by insults for not just her but for Rook. Rayona secretly went out and followed Helen.

"You cannot be serious!" Rook Shar snapped in anger.

"That's not fair!" Young One snapped in anger.

Helen screamed in anger as she sped and ran off at once, shocking and alerting everyone else. Team Ben especially Rook looked shock and concern for her to run off.

"At least, she's wise enough to admit that she is the responsible for the crimes..." Master Kundo snarled in anger.

"Hey!" Ben snapped in anger.

"How dare you?!" Julie exclaimed in fury.

Tetrax snarled, "That is way out of line!"

"Responsible?!" Rook Bralla demanded in anger, "That child was hurt! You've accused her, without evidence! You even saw them staying with us till the end, and are nowhere near to the Muroids for whole day! They helped us to protect our crops! I refused to believe that they're at fault!"

Rook Shar nodded, "And more, the Plumbers have helped us defend our world since Highbreed Invasion! How can you consider the outsider to be threat when they were helping us?!"

"How can you be foolish to fall for innocent and charity deception?!" Master Kundo demanded in anger, "The only people we can trust is ourselves, not outsiders. They only desire conquest and control of our planet and supply! And it's the reason why we never negotiate and trade with them because they're nothing but conquerors and deceivers. The Plumbers claimed that they helped us. Instead, they failed us. Just like today!"

"You're wrong!" Rook snapped firmly. Everyone turned and looked at him. He continued with his serious and firm looks, "You are wrong about the off worlds and my friends."

"Is that so?" Master Kundo asked dryly while glaring at Rook, "Do you honestly believe and trust them?"

"I do," Rook said firmly, "They're not what you have thought. It is true that there will be harsh and corrupted places and people for me to face. And perhaps, I won't able to handle it. But there are also good people as well, just like my teammates and the Plumbers. They helped and taught me about their world as I did with them about mine. And also, there are many things and wonders for me to learn and understand. This is something that I wish to share with our people. They're not different from us. I am proud that to call them my friends especially adopting Helen as my sister."

Master Kundo snarled in fury, "Rook Blonko... You're such a foolish and naive boy! You believe in such fantasy?! Have you no shame that you'll bring ruins to our world?! You will destroy our tradition!"

"Not ruins, wondrous. Our tradition can still live on, despite having new technology and materials, and even meeting and befriending strangers as our friends and family member!" Rook corrected firmly. He turned and looked at his friends and family standing together. He smiled, "My clan have proven it! Helen is one of us!"

"No! I refused to believe this!"

"You maybe my mentor and respected elder, but you are not the god or ruler of this planet! You're just member of the council only! The rest of council will understand and approve of this. It is time to change our ways for the better."

"No! I will not let this happen!" Master Kundo snapped in anger, "Prepare to face my fury, you traitor!"

Master Kundo was about to use and strike his Death Hand at Rook, who got alerted and shocked by his attempt. Rook Da moved to the front while pushing his son aside. He blocked and held off the Death Hand attack, shocking everyone else. His arms were bleeding, Rook Da grunted in pain as he pushed and knocked the attack before swung and struck his Stone Cutter at Master Kundo straight at the silo's walls.

Rook Da grunted as he fell on his knees. Rook and Rook Shar approached and helped his father to hold and stand for the moment. Sheriff Wat-Senn approached and apprehended Master Kundo's.

"Always knew you hate outsiders, but never thought that you'd go this far," Sheriff Wat-Senn commented dryly, "Fanatic and racist asshole..."

"Wow..." Ben said in shock, "You'd never told me that he knows about Revonnah Kai especially holding the Death Hand."

Rook Da chuckled a bit, "That's because I was once a master and warrior before I retired to become a farmer." He grunted in pain, feeling his arms injured, "Damn it. It really hurt against the attack. I am out of practice with martial arts."

"Father, will you be alright?" Rook asked in concern.

"I will be fine, son," Rook Da said with a grunt, "Do not worry. I will be fine. But you must find your sister. Helen needs you now."

Surprised yet relieved that his father has finally accepted Helen as his daughter, Rook turned and looked at his teammates, "My friends, can you look after my family?"

"Leave it to us," Ben said with confident smile.

Julie took out some medicine and bandages, "I'll treat you, Mr. Rook."

Rook Da gave a soft smile, "Much appreciate, young Julie."

Rook smiled in relief, "Shar, Magister Shard, please follow me. We must find and bring Helen back now!"

Rook Shar and Tetrax nodded firmly. They then followed Rook as they're heading straight to western border, hoping to find and bring Helen back home.


Run as fast as she could, Helen has arrived and stopped at the middle of large barren wasteland with rocks. She sat down while wrapped herself as she cried tearfully due to Master Kundo has said harsh words about her. All she ever want is to help Rook and her newly adopted family. She sighed sadly as she wished Pierce was here.

"Are you alright?" The calm and gentle voice asked, surprised Helen. She turned and found Rayona stood before her. She sat down, close to her. She was about to ask, but the Kinecelaran ignored and looked away. She sighed, "Do not heed Master Kundo's harsh words. None of us including Rook's and my clan have agreed with him and his philosophy."

"Why? Why did you come for me?" Helen asked.

"Huh? I was concern of your well-being, Helen. You are Rook's adopted sister. I want to make sure that you are alright. Why would you ask that kind of question?"

"I'm outsider. I've hurt Rook's sisters and brother. They all saw that, right? I mean I can't be trusted."

"No. All I saw is that you were trying to help and heal them. It is good that you care for your brothers and sisters."

"Still... Master Kundo-?!"

"Master Kundo may have been Grandmaster of Revonnah Kai, but he is not the ruler of our people nor is he right about everything. He's just a council member. He has no right to judge or make the decision and action, based on his view and hatred for both modern era and outsiders, without the council's approval. He often overstep the lines too many times. Do not let it bother you."

"Rayona..." Helen said in shock and surprise. She sighed, "Tell me, Rayona, do you love Rook so much?"

Rayona nodded, "I do. I've known him since our childhood. I'm one of few Revonnahganders have supported and believed in Rook to become the cadet and representative to our world. Whatever path he chose, I am willing to follow and support till my death."

"I see..." Helen said in surprise, "You know I'd never expected to be you being smart and kind girl. Just thought that you're just some beautiful damsel. No offense."

Rayona giggled, "None taken. I assure you, Helen. I am more than just beautiful Revonnahgander. I'm strong as Rook Blonko."

Helen giggled while imagining how tough Rayona can be. She noticed some flashlights ahead of her. She hummed, "Something off over there."

Rayona looked at Helen's direction, "That leads to Muroid's Nesting Ground. But I agreed. There is something off..."

Helen and Rayona went and followed some strange flashlights. They have arrived at the edge of large pit, which was filled with thousands and more of caverns. And to their shock and surprise, they have found a large lab and armory on the ground. They found some gangsters were injecting some of serum into Muroids. Others were training and teaching them to be smart and gangster like them, Fistrick, stood before them, smiled proudly to see the results.

"Fistrick?!" Helen asked in shock.

"You know him?" Rayona asked in concern.

Helen shook her head, "No. But heard the records that he's the criminal warlord. How the hell he get here? And why?"

Rayona hissed, "I fear that he might want to use Amber Ogia for waging galactic war or selling them in black market. It is a perfect multitask material for everything. The galaxy may have been in grave danger..."

"That can't be good..." Helen hissed in concern.

Fistrick smirked proudly as he jumped and landed on the ground hard. Both his gangster and the platoon of Muroids halted at once. They turned and looked at him. He approached and gave them one-by-one some fist bump and even chest bump. He even personally trained, fought and tested Muroids' skills and intelligence. He was impressed. He then jumped on top of the rock as he make some announcement.

"Alright, bros! Hear me out!" Fistrick called out proudly. Everyone turned and looked at him. He smirked proudly while looking at the mechas, "The time's almost come! Now take your sick new gear, get in your harvesters, and bring me every one of those Amber Oglio berries and show those hicks how it's done! RIGHT?!"

Fistrick's Gangster and Muroids gave the loud cheers wildly and happily. Most of the rodents charged and gotten a ride on their black-orange colored mechas. Hoodlum and Tough have gotten into theirs as they're about to lead both forces of Harvesters, Muroids and even their own gang out now. They're heading straight to Rook's home.

"Oh no! We must warn my people!" Rayona exclaimed in concern.

Helen nodded, "Yeah. Let's get the hell out of here!"

And just as Rayona and Helen were about to run, their feet have knocked some rocks, which were rolling down the hill. It heading straight to Fistrick and his remaining units, which they were alerted.

"What the?!" Fistrick asked in shock. He looked up and found Helen and Rayona were above them. He groaned, "Get them!"

"You heard him! Take them down!" Corvo commanded in anger.

Fistrick's Gang and Muroids gave the loud roar as they all charged at both Rayona and Helen. They both yelped in surprise.

"Rayona, run! Run now!" Helen shouted in concern, "Go warn others now!"

Rayona was about to interrupt, Helen charged down and rammed most of the Muroids and Fistrick Gang. She then engaged and blasted her blasters at them. Hated to leave her behind, Rayona reluctantly ran off as fast as she can. The Kineceleran fought and battled against the army, all by herself.

Rayona ran as fast as she can. She has to returned to her home. Fortunately for her, she spotted three figures riding the hover boards. She saw Rook, Tetrax and Rook Shar are arriving to the area. She waved to them to come to her.

"Rayona?!" Rook asked in shock as he and his allies halted at once. He asked, "What are you doing here?!"

Rayona breathed very hard, "I went after Helen to comfort her! We've made the shocking discovery! Fistrick and his gang are responsible of making Muroids to steal Amber Ogia! He already send the main army to the village now! Helen remain behind to hold them off!"

Rook and his allies were in shock and concern. He hissed, "Shar! Return to the village! Warn them the upcoming battle! They must not allow to ravage our land."

"Understood, brother," Rook Shar nodded firmly.

"Rayona, go with her," Rook said firmly.

"No!" Rayona protested firmly. Rook was about to protest. She spoke again, "I refused to abandon and left Helen again! I will not let one of your family member to sacrifice their life for nothing! I will fight."

Tetrax whistled, "Impressive."

"Fine," Rook said dryly, "Stay close to me. We don't have much time now!"

Rayona nodded firmly. Rook and his team split into two. Rook Shar returned to her home at once to warn her allies while Rook, Rayona and Tetrax went to help Helen to fend off Fistrick.

Despite the effort she has given to fight and halt the enemy advance, Helen was heavily outnumbered and outmatched against them. Muroids have been rolling and ramming at her for too many times. Eventually, she was injured and defeated. She held by Fistrick's Two Thugs before him.

"Gotta admit it, dudette. You've got some skills," Fistrick commented in amusement. He chuckled, "How the heck did you get here?"

Helen grunted, "I could ask you the same thing, jackass. And not to mention, how on earth do you make Muroids intelligent and also make use of Amber Ogia?!"

"I know some guys to help me out with these," Fistrick chuckled proudly, "One guy knows about the animals and even make the Muroids smarter too. He's crazy over animals. Another guy was an old buddy of mine told me about Revonnah and Amber Ogia. He's such a big and bulky nice guy for helping me get a ship to get here/."

"And the harvesters?" Helen asked in annoyance, "I'm guessing Techadon Weapon Master helped you out to get here."

Fistrick grabbed and strangled Helen, "You think you're smart? Think again."

"And of course, it's the same guy gave us Techadon Star Beam Platform." Corvo explained happily while looking at the large satellite platform with giant cannon, aiming to the sky. He chuckled, "Totally thrashes planets good. He said it's a prototype and need us do some serious testing. He did say that thing need some serious juice and fire power. Turns out that Aglio Olio stuff is the perfect fuel for this thing. He said that Revonnah is the perfect place for the machine's test!"

"Idiot! That surprise was supposed to be later!" Fistrick snapped at Corvo, who yelped in fear and worry. He groaned, "Whatever, man. That's the plan. Soon as I'm loaded up, hundreds of worlds are gonna have to do things the Fistrick way, and Ben 10's not going to be around to help 'em."

"Asshole!" Helen snarled, "I won't let you do this!"

"Yeah? How are you gonna do it?" Fistrick asked amusingly, "You're alone."

"She's never be alone!" Rook's voice cried as he and his allies have arrived at the scene. They rammed and knocked most of them aside. Rayona helped Helen to stand up. He continued while armed with his Proto-Tool's Sword Mode, "Fistrick, I will not let you harm sister or my home!"

"Rook!" Helen exclaimed in surprise. She turned and looked at Rayona, "You came back..."

Rayona nodded, "Indeed. I will not let anything bad happen to you, Helen."

"Fistrick, surrender now or prepare to face the hard way," Tetrax demanded.

Fistrick groaned, "Never! Take them down!"

Rook and his friends charged and engaged Fistrick and his thugs. Using both martial arts and Proto-Tool, Rook has easily knocked and defeated most of them. Helen charged and rammed most of them. Rayona firmly and calmly fought and defeated them through the use of Stone Cutter and Lightning Kick. Tetrax and Fistrick have the fierce brawl at each other.


Ben, Julie in her Armorstrike, Sheriff Wat-Senn and the rest of Revonnahganders and Plumber Platoon are armed with their weapons and blasters. They're preparing for the next fight. And so far, there was no sign of Muroids coming. They spotted Rook Shar have arrived while calling and shouting to them. She regrouped with them.

"Rook Shar, where are Blonko and Helen?!" Rook Da asked in concern.

"They're fighting Fistrick!" Rook Shar explained in concern, "The Muroids are coming in force! We must prepare to fight!"

"Fistrick?! Here?!" Ben asked in shock and concern. He groaned, "That explains of their attire and attitude of calling 'bros'."

"Who is he? Where he come from?" Rook Bralla asked.

"The bad guy from Earth," Armorstrike explained in concern. Through the use of her visor, she spotted the large army of Fistrick Thugs, Muroids and Harvester Mechas have arrived and began stealing more of Amber Ogia. She hissed, "Here they come!"

"There are so many of them. The machines are too strong," Rook Da said in concern, "How can we come this?"

Ben hummed thoughtfully while studying the machines. He turned and looked at Armorstrike, "Julie, shoot at the head. I hope I'm right..."

Armorstrike nodded as she armed and fired her blasters thrice at the first Harvester Mecha's head, opening and revealing Muroid. She blasted again at the cockpit, scaring him off.

"That did it," Armorstrike said in surprise.

"Alright, shoot their hatch that will open and forced Muroids and thugs to abandon them," Ben said firmly, "Let's show them that Amber Ogia is not theirs to take! To battle!"

Everyone gave the loud battle cry while armed with their blasters, scythes and torch blasters. They all charged and engaged the army of Muroids and Thugs. Most of them engaged on the ground. Some opened the hatch and removed the Muroids out. Others rode their Raidsteeds to ram and knock the enemies off while thrusting their scythes and poles at them. Rook Da, Rook Bralla and Sheriff Wat-Senn were leading the army. Rook Shar and the children remained behind to look after and protect the Amber Ogias. Armorstrike defended and protected the locals while taking down most of the mechas and even the army.

Ben has activated his Omnitrix as he turned into brownish colored humanoid Pterodactyl-like with large gliding energized wings-like and has a yellow beak-like mouth worn the whitish battle suit with blackish sleeves and black pants that have greenish patterns on each sides, wears the Omnitrix symbol on his left shoulder. He made a squawk noise, gliding down while unleashing and firing a powerful axe-like energy beam in knocking most of them down. He even can cut down the machines in halves. He even used the energy whip from his gauntlets in attacking the enemy troops while blasting the beams from his beak at them.

Ben squawked, "Wow. That's some energy blast. I look like Pterodactyl, and definitely got some awesome energy powers. Gonna call this - Astrodactyl!"

Astrodactyl squawked as he flew down to attack the both Muroids and Fistrick's Thugs as well as destroying most of harvesters. He also helped and protected his allies. He and the army of Plumbers and Revonnahganders did their best to repel and defeat most of the enemies while protecting the Amber Ogias.

Unfortunately, Fistrick's Thugs and Muroids have managed to collect and stored most of Amber Ogia into their fuel tanks. Once it is full, they all made their escape and headed back to the Muroids' Nesting Grounds at once. Some of them have managed to escape.

"Where are they going?" Rook Da asked in concern.

Astrodacytl squawked, "Something bad for sure. Julie, let's go. Everyone, stay behind and ready for anything. Gotta something bad coming to us!"

Armorstrike nodded, "Got it, Ben."

Activating their flight ability, both Astrodactyl and Armorstrike flew off at once. They were flying straight to the nesting ground, where Rook and his allies were battling the enemies.


At the Muroid's Nesting Grounds, Rook and his allies were still battling Fistrick and his forces while Corvo was busy of setting up the Techadon Star Beam Platform for testing. Using his Proto-Tool's Spear Mode and Blaster Mode, he has defeated most of the thugs and even scared the Muroids. Rayona and Helen helped each other as well as covering him from being attacked.

Both Fistrick and Tetrax were battling with each other fiercely and wildly for few rounds. Though Tetrax was a Petrosapien, he managed to get some hits due to Fistrick has acquired armored fists in punching and knocking him hard. However, the Plumber Magister refused to back down and continued his fierce fight with the Criminal Warlord. Both of them continued swinging their punches and kicks at each other for few times. They both have gotten tired from the fierce brawl.

"Give it up, bro! You can't win!" Fistrick snapped firmly.

"Want a bet?!" Tetrax asked in annoyance.

Fistrick smirked slyly, "Go ahead and try, bro."

And just before he could do anything, more of Muroids charged and rammed Tetrax to the ground. More of them also did the same thing to Rook, Rayona and Helen as well.

"Like I said. You can't win..." Fistrick said proudly. He then looked up and found more of Harvester Mechas have arrived. He smirked, "Right on time. Load them up."

As ordered, the Harvester Mechas approached and loaded the fuel tanks of Amber Ogia into the satellite platform. Corvo was finishing with setting up on the weaponized satellite. He then gave a thumbs up to Fistrick, who nodded firmly.

With his boss's approval, Corvo pushed the red button, activating and launching the Techadon Star Beam Platform to the sky now. Rook and his allies gasped in shock and concern of what they just saw. They were too late to stop now.

"Game over now," Fistrick said proudly, "Time to see what this baby can do now..."

Just as the satellite rocket was launching up to the sky, it got exploded, shocking and surprising everyone. They then saw a large figure coming towards them. He slammed on the ground, causing both powerful quake and shockwave on knocking everyone off. He has revealed himself to be a very big Humungousaur with spikes, with Julie on his left shoulder.

By looking at the size of Humungousaur, Muroids and Fistrick's Thugs quivered and stuttered in fear of him. The large dinosaur-like alien snarled a bit before giving a large roar at them. Unable to stand and fight him, they all screamed and panicked in fear. They headed straight into the large cages, where they hid inside, leaving Fistrick behind.

"Cowards!" Fistrick screamed in anger, "They're just bunch of stupid farmers!"

With Humungousaur's voice cleared his throat, Fistrick turned his attention to his enemy. To his shock and fear, he found not just Team Ben, but also the army of angry Revonnahganders glaring at him.

"Want to say that again, bro?" Humungousaur demanded dryly.

"Revonnahgander, teach him a lesson for disrespecting our ways!" Rook ordered firmly.

Revonnahganders gave the loud battle cry. They all charged and used their strong poles in attacking and beating up Fistrick. Rook approached to Helen, whom he gave her a comfort hug, followed by Rayona, Rook Shar, the rest of his siblings, Rook Bralla and Rook Da. This shocked and surprised Helen, yet it make her smile. Ben, Julie and Tetrax looked at each other as they smiled proudly and happily.


In afternoon, everyone gathered inside the large and decorated mansion-like, where the council make the judgment on Master Kundo's attitude and serious charges against the Plumbers. Everyone including Team Ben and Rook Family were sitting on the front rows.

"Grandmaster Kundo, for disrespecting and belittling our allies for assistance and protection, as well as harming one of our war hero - Rook Da, you shall serve your sentence in prison for thirty years," The Revonnahgander High Council spoke firmly, "And the Revonnah Kai shall be handed down to the Senior - Wayne K'cin. From now on, you are the Grandmaster and new Council of Security and Martial Arts now."

The tattooed Revonnahgander worn a crimson martial artist's robe with armor that has symbol of bat, iron gauntlets and iron knee boots. He bowed humbly, "The Iron Bat shall serve his purpose, High Council Shadepear." He turned and glared at Master Kundo, "Sheriff, take this our shameful master to his prison."

Sheriff Wat-Senn nodded firmly as he and his Plumebr Cadets moved the arrested Master Kundo out. He grunted and cried out in anger.

Master Kundo screamed in anger, "You will regret this decision! Do you hear me?! You will regret this!"

Sheriff Wat-Senn and his cadets took Master Kundo out, escorting him to the prison cell now.

"You'd think he'll escape and take revenge?" Ben asked.

Rook sighed, "I hope not. Between you and me, Ben, this is not what I wanted to Master Kundo. I'd never thought he would go down the wrong path. I have hope that he would share and agreed to accept new era of modern."

"Guess not every traditionalist people can change for better," Julie commented, "They don't know how to adapt."

"Yes, you are right, Julie..." Rook said in concern.


With Kundo locked up in his prison cell while Fistrick and his gang are incinerated within the prison spaceship, Revonnahganders continued their tradition and celebrating their successful Harvest Day of Amber Ogia. Rook Da and Rook Bralla were standing on top of the cliff's edge, watching them celebrating wildly and happily.

"The land has been kind. Despite our losses, the harvest is plentiful." Rook Da commented in relief. He turned and looked at Helen, "Ah, Helen. Thank goodness that you are here. I wish to speak with you."

Helen sighed as she bowed down to the ground, "Mr. Rook Da, I understand that you don't want to adopt and accept me as your daughter, but I assure you that I would never harm your family especially Blonko. He... He was too nice and gentle to me. I would never take advantage of his kindness and being brother to me."

"What? Who told you this nonsense?" Rook Da asked in shock. He sighed as he helped Helen to stand up. He continued, "I want to talk to you because I owe you an apology."

"Huh? An apology? For what?"

"For not realizing that you are an orphan. A child without parents or a brother. Rook Blonko told me the losses you have suffered and the reason he wanted to adopt you as part of our family. After what you have done to our clan especially protecting and treating your siblings' wounds, he made the right decision about you. You and your friends have indeed show respect to our ways, though also improve our skills and technology to make our life better."

Helen gasped, "You mean..."

Rook Da smiled, "Welcome to the Rook Clan, Rook-Wheels Helen..."

Couldn't contain her tears of joy, she cried while jumped to hug Rook Da, making him surprise. He chuckled a bit while hugging her back. Rook Bralla smiled happily with tears of joy.

"I am so happy that everything is alright." Rook Bralla sighed happily.

Rook Blonko brought Rayona to his home, where they were discussing.

"So, Rook Blonko, what is it you wish to discuss with me?" Rayona asked curiously. To her surprise, Rook bowed to the ground. She asked, "W-What are you doing?"

"In Earth's customs, man asked his lady's hand to accept a very special gift for her new life," Rook explained. He shown the box with a decorated ring with a flower, shocked and surprised Rayona. He asked, "Rayona, will you become my bride?"

Rayona, filled with tears of joy, cried out while hugging Rook Blonko, "YES! I accept your proposal, Rook Blonko!"

Rook Blonko hugged Rayona back as they both laughed out loud. Both Rook Da and Helen arrived and checked on the scene. Rook Da smiled happily to see his son's marrying Rayona. Though was upset and disappointed, Helen put her pride and crush aside to smile for her brother's marriage. Rook and Rayona got up and turned to Rook Da.

"Thanks for saving me, Rayona. You really are badass," Helen commented.

Rayona giggled a bit, "Thank you, Helen. Thank you for accepting me as family and sister-in-law. Rest assure that your brother will be fine. But make sure he stay away from girls."

Helen giggled playfully, "Will do."

"I see you asked her for marriage," Rook Da commented. He patted his son's shoulder, "Blonko, without you, tradition itself could not have survived. I am happy and proud that you are alright and strong enough to handle on your own while remain true to our tradition in this new era, thanks to your friends. Sheriff made the right decision of letting you be cadet and representative to our people. And you are right. It is time to change for better for our people, and maybe tradition should change."

"Indeed, father. While Revonnahgander change and improve skills and socials, they can still keep the tradition alive." Rook said calmly, surprising Rook Da. He continued, "Even though the humans changed and improved their technology and skills, they kept their tradition alive and respectful for over centuries. I am confident that ours will be fine."

Rook Da sighed, "Yes. Perhaps you're right. Come back next harvest, son. Bring your sister as well after all, she is our family."

Rook smiled and nodded, "Yes, father."

Rook Bralla sighed while patted both Rook Da and Rook's shoulders, "Finally... You two have come together at last."

"Hey, look, Rook. I'm the harvest king!" Ben called out.

Rook, Helen, Rook Da, Rook Bralla and Rayona turned to their back. And to their shock, they found Ben was wearing a dark violet robe with stylized golden flower patterns on sleeves and end of the robe, and also 5-pointed headdress. Young One was with Ben. They all stiffed with laughter before laughed out loud, confusing him.

"More like Harvest queen!" Rook commented in amusement.

Helen giggled, "Didn't you know that, Ben?"

Ben, shocked and confused of the revelation, turned and found Rook's sisters and even Julie worn the same attire. Tetrax worn a bluish Japanese robe-like with large sleeves and even has a fake black ponytail on his back of head. They also laughed at him as well.

"Silly Ben," Julie commented.

Tetrax nodded, "This is how the Harvest King looks like."

Embarrassed and humiliated by the revelation, Ben turned and glared at Young One, who was whistling innocently before ran off. Screamed in anger, he gave chase after him. Everyone was laughing happily and wildly. The Harvest Day for Revonnah was saved and successful.

Author's Notes:
1) Inspired by Shadow DJ's Ben 10 Guardians Season 2 Episode 10 - Tennysons in Farmland especially the steeds, I prefer this version over the original, which has lots of plotholes and problems such as why didn't Master Kundo as antagonist and Sheriff as ally appear in the first place to represent Rook's decision to his people and tradition. And also, Rook Family and Rayona are very underused for the show, despite Rook Da, Rook Shar and Young One got the spotlight the most (never understand why the heck they appear for smiling and cameo only in the first place). So, I decide to give them some more spotlights with active roles:

a) Rook Da will be a father, who is trying to accept strangers and outsiders especially accepting Helen as his adopted daughter, rather than against and sees them a threat to tradition (which transfer to Master Kudon since he has distrust in Off-Worlders and technologies). I love Dan Woren's voice as the humble and noble man due to he played the role of Liu Bei (Dynasty Warriors 4 - 5).
b) Inspired by Shadow DJ's Rook Rafi, Rook Bralla will be protective mother, who refused to let her children be harmed and mistreated, whether she's outsider or disgraceful because she knew them to be good by motherly instinct. Voiced by Cindy Robinson because she nailed the role being gentle and fierce at the same time due to her being Zhang Chunhua (Sima Yi's Wife from Dynasty Warriors 8).
c) Rook Shar's role is much the same as being second eldest and responsible to her family. I also add the foreshadow of her becoming the Plumber Cadets by having a chat with Tetrax about seeing the world outside and become the cadet. Her voice actress is the same.
d) Rook Shim's is inspired by Fluttershy's personality and even Shadow DJ's Version of Rook Shim. And I honestly like the idea of her pairing and chatting with Julie because they loved and cared for the animals. Initially, I wanted to imagine of Andrea Libman as Rook Shim but chose Laura Bailey for her calm and gentle in her voice due to her role as Oichi from Sengoku Basara.
e) Rook Shi is the most interesting character because she reminded me of Buttercup. So, I decided to pair with Helen as rivals and close sisters over sports. I chose Colleen O'Shaughnessey because she got some tomboyish attitude.
f) Young One's role is almost the same as before, though the explanation of why he was never named explains here due to his tail. And originally, he was to have his tail cut to get his ceremonial name, but I decided not to and move to another episode. Time is not right. Her voice actress is the same.
g) Rayona is the most underrated and underused character for being girlfriend to Rook. I decide to spice it by making her strong-will, wise and kindhearted girl, who hates the idea of leaving her friends and sisters behind, and does want to comfort them. Her voice actress is the same.
h) Master Kundo's personality and role are the same from Ben 10 Omniverse but his voice will be Richard Epcar because of his calmness and sooth voice of anger, thanks to his role in Myotismon and Ansem the Seeker of Darkness.

2) Originally, there was gonna be a epic fight between Ben 10 and Master Kundo like Kung Fu Fights from Ip Man 1 or the Finale, but decide not to because I realize that this story is about Rook regain his honor and change the Revonnah's ways for better while keeping the tradition alive after experiencing on Earth.

3) I originally wanted to make Dr. Animo appear as well, but decide to against it because he wanted to research and experiment the animals into more advance, as well as having problem in travelling to space due to his ages and never experience one.
