Nursery
News that her father had returned and was severely injured worried Diana immensely, it worried her to the point that she ran out of the nursery on all fours as fast as she could
"Where's momma Dina going?" Lucia asked curiously
"She is going to check on her papa" Isis answered
"We need to follow her to make sure she is ok" Ben said
"She is heading to the Great Tree" Mina said
"Well we should hurry after her then" Gwen said
Ben took both Eira and Lucia and ran after Diana along with the others
Time Skip
The Great Tree
Ben and the others were finally able to catch up to Diana who was focused on only going to see if her father was alright. It took Ben transforming into Blitzwolfer to catch up to her and stop her from going any further.
"Please my mate, let me go see my father" Diana said asking Ben to let her go
" I can't do that just yet Diana, not until you calm down a bit" Ben replied
"I need to go see if he is alright" Diana said
"And you will, but first you need to calm down, you're worrying both Eira and Lucia" Ben replied
Diana looked over at Isis who had Eira and Lucia in her arms, she could see the scared expressions on their faces
"I am sorry if I worried you and the children my mate, it was not my intention to do so" Diana said in a low tone, looking down at the ground
Ben cupped her chin and lifted her head up
" It's going to be okay, all of us are here for you and besides your father is probably alright, from what I've heard of him he sounds like a strong king" Ben said as he transformed back to normal
"He's the only parent I have left, my mother died when I was young and he was always there for me" Diana said with tears in her eyes
Eira and Lucia flew out Isis's arms and went over to Diana and hugged her head with their small bodies
"Momma Dina, don't cry" Eira said
"Papa and us are here" Lucia said
Diana wiped away her tears and smiled at the two little Necrofriggians that were trying to cheer her up
"Don't worry I won't cry" Diana said patting both Lucia and Eira on their heads
Ben picked both of them up and put them on his shoulders
"Let's go meet your grandpa" Ben said to his children
Both of the Necrofriggian children cheered excitedly hearing that they would meet their grandfather for the first time. The group resumed heading to the Great Tree together this time, both Isis and Diana admired how the one they were going to be with was there for them both and always made them happy and smile. The Great Tree came into view and amazed everyone, it was a giant tree that rose all the way to the sky past the other trees. It was massive and looked a castle that was carved out the tree.
"Dude that is one awesome tree fort" Kevin said
"Why couldn't my tree house when I was a kid look like that?" Ben asked amazed
"That my mate is the Great Tree, it was the first tree to ever grow on Luna Lobo and is the oldest, my great grandfather and his clan turned the tree into the castle you see now" Diana said
"It's a special tree, the wood is stronger then stone and can not be destroyed by flames, as far as we know the only known material that can cut it is taydonite and even then the mineral can barely scratch it" Mina said
Time Skip
Ben and the others lead by Diana walked through the halls of the Great Tree and saw how everything was made of wood, the walls, the stairs, the finishings, pretty much everything was carved out from the tree. Ben saw paintings of Loboans all over the walls along with paintings that depicted important events. Eventually Diana stopped at two giant black doors, those were the doors to the throne room. Behind those doors was an even larger room, this was the throne room, the group walked in and saw amazing carvings of Loboans, large banners that hung from the ceiling and the end of the hall sat a large throne that looked almost like the roots of a tree.
All over the throne was makeshift medical beds that were full of injured Loboan soldiers and doctors that were trying their best to take care of them and keep them alive. Sitting in the throne was Diana's father, the king of all Loboans, right now he was being treated by a doctor. Seeing her father alive, Diana ran all the way to this throne calling out his name, the king looked up and saw his youngest daughter running his way.
"Father, your alive" Diana said with tears in the corners of her eyes
"My sweet Diana" the king said
As Diana was about to hug her father she saw all of his injuries that he had all over his body
"Father, what happened to you?" Diana asked worried for her father's health
"It was that damned beast, it took my eye along with my hand then tried to finish me off but I took a good chunk out of it's face" the king answered grabbing where his missing hand was
"Sir if I may ask, what did this creature look like exactly?" Gwen asked pushing her glasses up
"And what pray tell are a group of humans doing in my throne room? Better yet why are they even on my planet in the first place?" The king asked angrily while trying to get up only to flinch from pain
"Father they our guests and they are with Isis, she is engaged to one of them" Diana answered defending Ben and the others
The king sat up looked at the group and saw that Isis was indeed with them like his daughter had said, he also saw the two strange looking baby Necrofriggians that he saved from the beast clinging to Isis
"Oh my, if it isn't little Isis, you sure have grown up. I'm terribly sorry I guess my nose has given up on me along with my vision" the king said completely switching personalities which surprised Ben, Gwen and Kevin
"It is nothing king Romulus, we are sorry for arriving unannounced at such a bad time" Isis replied with a bow
"You haven't changed always acting very lady like, sometimes I wish Diana could of acted like you" king Romulus said
"Father" Diana said pouting
"Now who is this person that you are engaged to you?" King Romulus asked
"That would be me sir, I am the one Isis is engaged" Ben answered stepping forward
King Romulus looked at Ben and eyeballed him up and down like he was inspecting him for whatever reason. Ben thought it was kind of scary having a Loboan glare at him like he was going to kill him at any given moment.
"Care to give me your name boy?" King Romulus asked Ben
"Well sir my name is Ben Tennyson" Ben answered standing straight
"I've heard that name before, you are the one who defeated that evil Ecto Lord Zs'skayr and helped lock up bastard Lord Transyl while preventing the revival of the disgusting and fowl Vladat race, no offense Mina" king Romulus said while apologizing to Mina for the comment
"Non taken my king, I think the same of other Vladats and my grandfather" Mina replied
"If you know that then you know of the other things I've accomplished, my team and I want to help you with this beast problem" Ben said
"I am afraid that I can not let you do that" king Romulus replied
"Why sir? I and my team are more then capable of helping you" Ben asked
"I have no doubt that you are capable, it is just that you are not a Loboan, you are a human and you are not apart of the seven clans, this is a Loboan matter and it is against the laws of the clans to except help from outsiders, it could be seen as an act of war" king Romulus answered
"But father Ben is apart of a clan, he is apart of our clan for he and I bonded and are mated for life" Diana said
Ben gulped a bit, that was something that he had forgotten to mention to king Romulus, he forgot to tell the king that he and his daughter were a thing. The king grew silent which worried Ben immensely, he had no idea of how the old king was going to act.
"How is that possible, he is human and you are Loboan my daughter?" The king asked calmly
"Sir you see the thing is the omnitrix I wear allows me to transform into a Loboan, when your daughter and I met and shook hands and locked gazes something happened, I instantly transformed and her and I began the bonding thing" Ben answered nervously
"Is this true my daughter?" King Romulus asked Diana
"Yes father, it is true Ben transformed and we both became mated for life, there are witnesses" Diana answered
King Romulus sat up in his throne and grew silent, he did not speak, he did not say a word, it appeared as though he was deep in thought. That made Ben grew extremely nervous and fearful for his life, the king could have him executed immediately or even just kill Ben himself. Finally king Romulus opened his mouth and began to speak.
"I have no reason to think my daughter a liar, so I will believe you young Tennyson, I will not refuse or deny your bonding with my daughter but I must warn you, not many others will except that you are bonded with Diana and engaged to Isis at the same time" king Romulus said to Ben
"I'm not worried about that, I don't care what others will say and think , if they threaten either of their lives they will come to regret it" Ben said confidently
Both Isis and Diana were amazed what Ben had just said, he barely knew them and hadn't been with them that long and he already is saying he'd protect them. Gwen and Kevin were impressed with how mature Ben was acting, it wasn't like his typical goofy self, it was almost like when he decides to be a leader.
"Hmm, interesting very interesting, I wish had more soldiers who have the same level of confidence as you" king Romulus said
Just then a Loboan soldier came bursting through the doors into throne room in a panic
"My king, my king it is extremely urgent" the Loboan soldier said almost running out of breath
"Breathe soldier and tell me what is so urgent?" King Romulus asked the soldier
"My king, the beast has broken through the city's outer defenses and is on a war path towards the Great Tree" the soldier answered
"Damn it all, alright men, any and all soldiers and guards arm the castles turrets and other defenses, fortify the main entrance and aim all inner weapons at the gate, we will not let that vile creature desecrate these sacred halls, now prepare for BATTLE!!!" Romulus commanded his men
Immediately any all soldiers and guards who were not injured ran out the throne room and began to prepare for the arrival of this mysterious creature
"Since you are apart of my clan you and your allies may assist in keeping the castle safe from the monster" king Romulus said to Ben
"Well sir, even if wasn't apart of your clan I'd still help you and your people out with this monster, it's just the kind of person I am" Ben replied
Diana was enamored by Ben with they way he acted and what he had just said to her father who grew silent from Ben's comment
"Alright guys, I think its best if we contact Rook and Helen for backup" Ben said
"I am afraid that won't work, the creature produces a natural EMP field that has a radius of 100 miles that grows larger every time it feeds" Mina said
"Great, looks like we're going to have to face it head on" Ben said disappointed
"I will go and fight along side with you my pharaoh" Isis said
"I am sorry Isis but I can't let you do that" Ben replied
"Why not my pharaoh?" Isis asked confused
"I need you to look after those two, I don't want them to be scared" Ben answered pointing at both Eira and Lucia
Isis looked at the two small Necrofriggians in her arms and realized that her fiancé was right, she was going to have to look after them
"Then I guess that means I will be going instead" Diana said stepping forward
"Diana I don't doubt you ability to fight but I'm going to need you to stay here and watch over Isis and the children along with all of the wounded" Ben said
"If that is what you wish of me my mate then I won't argue" Diana replied
"Its just that I don't want you, Isis, the children or anyone here to get hurt or worse end up dead, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if that were to happen" Ben said trying to reassure Diana
"We need to hurry Ben, you can swoon your ladies over another time" Kevin said
"Kevin" Gwen said irritated
"Kevin is right we need to hurry and stop this thing" Ben said to Gwen
Before they left Kevin touched one of the walls in the throne room and absorbed the material covering his body in a wood like armor
"This should do the trick" he said
"I will be going with you, I might be of assistance in stopping the creature" Mina said
"Okay but don't get hurt" Ben replied
As Ben went to leave with Gwen, Kevin and Mina, he was stopped by Eira and Lucia flying over and grabbing onto his back
"Don't leave us papa" Eira said
"Please don't want to be alone again" Lucia said
Ben smiled and patted both of their heads
"Look you two, I promised I'd never leave you and I don't intend to break that promise but I am a hero, it's my job to help people and keep them safe like how I plan on keeping the two of you safe" Ben said
"Keep us safe here" Eira said
"Stay stay" Lucia said
"I can't stay, if I do I can't keep the other people safe and besides Isis and Diana are here to look after you while I'm gone" Ben told the pair
Eira and Lucia looked over at Isis and Diana who were standing together
"Okay papa, we'll wait for you" Eira said
"Be safe papa" Lucia said
"Don't worry you two your papa has us watching his back" Gwen said with a smile
"Alright we've wasted enough time, lets go catch us a critter" Ben said activating the omnitrix
Quickly Ben scrolled through the omnitrix and found an alien to transform into, he slammed the core of the omnitrix down causing a flash of green light to engulf his body. Ben had transformed into stout red manta ray like alien with a yellow crest on its head.

"Alright team let's go" Ben said taking to the air and flying out of the throne room at an incredible speed
