Rustbucket IV: Anur System
Flying through the Anur system from Luna Lobo to Anur Kufos is the Rustbucket IV and aboard it is Ben, Gwen, Kevin, Rook, Helen, Isis, Diana, Mina and his two children, Eira and Lucia. While they all sat down in their seats Eira and Lucia wanted to play with their papa for a little bit.
"Come on papa come play with us" Eira said jumping up and down on Ben's lap
"Yeah papa come play" Lucia said
"We're almost to our destination, we can play later" Ben told his children
"My pharaoh we have plenty of time for you to play with the children and besides I think they've behaved well enough to earn some play time with their papa" Isis said
Ben looked at Eira and Lucia and saw how eager they were to play with him, their showed a strong sense of cuteness for being insect like, Ben couldn't exactly say no to them
"Alright, we can play for a bit, I don't see the harm in it" Ben said
Both Necrofriggian girls cheered hearing their father agree to play with them
"Okay then, what game do you two want to play?" Ben asked his children
"Fly, fly" they answered pointing out the window at the empty space
"I see you want to fly with me" Ben said lifting up the omnitrix
Ben scrolled through the playlist of the omnitrix and selected an alien to transform in to, in a flash of light Ben transformed into a tall bulky insect like alien wrapped in a blue and black cloak with a large mouth and big green insect eyes
"Big Chill" Ben said in an eerie voice as frost came out of his mouth
Ben then went intangible and phased through the side of the Rustbucket IV entering the vacuum of space, Eira and Lucia were nervous to follow behind their father but with some encouragement the two flew out into space with Ben
See it is easy" Ben said to them
Ben, Eira and Lucia began to fly around in space avoiding the cobweb like masses of the Anur system. Ben could see the enjoyment on his children's faces as he taught them how to fly and go intangible, Ben may of not been there in the beginning but now he was going to make sure to protect those two with his life.
"Papa, papa, look" Eira said getting Ben's attention
Ben looked over and saw Eira create a small cloud of ice from her mouth, once she did that she waited for Ben to give her praise
"You did good" Ben said causing Eira to smile
"Look at me papa" Lucia said
Ben looked over and saw Lucia create her own cloud of ice like Eira did
"You did good too" Ben said making Lucia smile
"Alright you three, time to come in, we're almost to our destination" Helen said over the Rustbucket IV's speaker
"You heard Helen, time to go back inside" Ben said to Lucia and Eira
The two pouted hearing that but went back to the ship anyways
"Don't worry once we are finished up here we'll be able to play some more" Ben said causing his children to smile
Once inside of the ship Ben changed back to normal and took his seat next to Isis and Diana
"You looked like you were enjoying yourselves out there my mate" Diana said
"It was good seeing you and the children play like that my pharaoh" Isis said
"Yeah, I had some fun out there, I see that there is a lot that I am going to have to teach the two of them" Ben said looking over at Eira and Lucia
"Hey Isis, isn't the surface of Anur Kufos radiated by high levels of corrodium?" Gwen asked
"Yes it is" Isis answered
"Doesn't that stuff like mutate people into horrible mindless monsters?" Kevin asked
"Yes it does have the ability to do that to unprotected humans but my species feed off of the ore, but when it comes to you all, you won't have to worry, all of the cities on Anur Kufos are protected by shielding that blocks the radiation from coming down" Isis answered putting everyone at ease
"Here we are everyone" Helen said
Ben and the others looked out the windows and saw the giant desert planet of Anur Kufos, Eira and Lucia were amazed at what they were seeing
"Papa what's that place?" Eira asked
"That child is my home planet" Isis answered
"Momma Isis is from there?" Lucia asked
"Yes child, I was born there" Isis answered
"Listen you two, when we land down there I don't want you leaving my side, okay?" Ben asked Eira and Lucia
"Yes papa, we won't leave your side" Eira and Lucia answered
"Good, I want you two to behave yourselves, we're guests here and I don't want us to embarrass Isis in front of her father" Ben said
"Yes papa" the girls said
"That means you as well Kevin" Ben said
"Hey that is so not cool, I can behave myself" Kevin replied
"Sure you can Kevin" Gwen said sarcastically
"Babe, don't be like that" Kevin replied
"Alright people, get in your seats and hold on tight we are landing down on the planet now" Helen said to everyone
Time Skip
Anur Kufos
As the Rustbucket IV landed down on the dry ground a large ancient looking city came into view, the city reminded Ben of the ancient Egyptian cities he saw in books that he read when he was in middle school. When the Rustbucket IV landed everyone got out of their seats and looked out the windows to see a busy city with Thep Kufans everywhere.
"Okay so here is the plan, Rook and I are going to stay here and report back to the plumbers that we've finally made it here" Helen said
"Once the greetings are finished Helen and I will join you depending on what happens" Rook said
"Cool, you guys stay here" Ben said
As the bay door of the Rustbucket IV opened Ben and the others saw two large Thep Kufans wielding swords and a shield. Once they saw Isis amongst the group the got down on a knee and bowed their heads to her.
"Princess Isis has returned back with her fiancé" one of the Thep Kufans said
"Stand up you two, please take us to my father" Isis said
Both of Thep Kufan guards stood up and nodded their heads
"Yes princess Isis we will gladly do that" the other Thep Kufan said
With that the two Thep Kufan guards lead Ben and the others through the city streets to where Isis's father was waiting for them
Kufos Streets
As they walked through the city Ben noticed how the people would stop and point at him and the others, he also heard them whispering about him and Isis. The guards would yell and get people to move out of the way for them as they walked through.
"I remember when I was younger my mother would take me to these stores" Isis said
"Hey maybe depending on how long we stay you can show me around" Ben said
"I would enjoy doing that with you" Isis replied
"Diana and I will watch the children while you two enjoy yourselves" Mina said
"You two deserve some time to yourselves besides Mina and I have already been here before" Diana said
"Hey Mina, I've noticed that you aren't burning up like normal Vladats do when sunlight is shined on them, why is that?" Ben asked
"I'm glad you noticed, the reason why I am not burning is up is because my body while it was in the rejuvenating pod adapted and slowly evolved to no not be effected by the sunlight, while yes I am not burning up I'm not as strong as I normally would be" Mina answered
"Oh that is pretty cool, guess that means your better then Whampire, my Vladat transformation" Ben said
"Oh Benjamin, your Vladat transformation is far superior to me since it is a prime example of Vladat who is at peak condition" Mina replied
"She is right Ben, Azmuth did say the omnitrix turns you into a superior version of the aliens you transform in to" Gwen said
"Yeah, that's how you were able to defeat Looma as Four Arms" Kevin said
"I guess I didn't think of it like that" Ben said

Grand Palace
Ben and the others continued through the busy streets on there way to the palace. Ben quickly noticed that civilians were stopping and pointing at him and the others. They probably had never seen someone like Ben and they thought he was interesting. In actuality the Thep Kufans were surprised to see that Isis had returned and with a human as her fiancé none the less. Either way the group finally made it to the palace and were about to meet Isis's father the king.
"Princess Isis has returned with her champion and fiancé, notify the king immediately" one of the guards guiding Ben and the others told one of the palace guard
"Yes sir, consider it done" the palace guard responded before heading off with the message
Walking to the palace Ben could see the difference between the Great Tree on Luna Lobo and the Grand Palace here
"My great ancestors had this palace built thousands of years ago and had designed so it would stand for even longer" Isis said to everyone
"That is pretty cool Isis, I can see all of the intricate details everywhere" Ben said
"Thank you my pharaoh, this is one of the prides of my family" Isis replied with a blush
"Papa this place is gigantic" Eira said looking around
"Too big" Lucia said flying closer to Ben
"Remember girls I want you staying close to me so you won't get lost" Ben said to the girls
"Okay papa" both of the girls reply
Ben and the others continue to walk down the halls of the Grand Palace towards two large golden doors. Once they stop at the doors, they start open slowly revealing a large throne room. Inside of the throne room there were long pools of water next to golden statues. Those statues resembled Egyptian gods from Earth along with previous kings of Anur Kufos.
"My lord your daughter has arrived with the one she is to marry along with there plumber escorts" a Thep Kufan said as the group entered the throne room
Sitting atop a large golden throne was Isis's father, the king of Anur Kufos. Next to the king were to large Thep Kufans who Ben assumed were his guards.
"Father I have returned" Isis said
"I see daughter, I also see that you have brought along the princess of the Loboans and the Vladat scientist" Isis's father replied looking at Diana and Mina behind Isis
"Forgive us king Seti, we wanted to join your daughter after her chosen fiancé saved king Romulus and the Great Tree" Mina said with a bow
"I do not care as it does not effect me" king Seti replied with no interest
That kind of bothered Ben a bit, to him it seemed as though the king didn't care about anyone except for himself. Ben did his best not to say something as to not cause any problems but Isis could see that the one she was to marry was bothered.
"Regardless father, I have arrived with my chosen husband with the help of the plumbers of Earth" Isis said
"You have and I am grateful that you have returned unharmed" king Seti replied
King Seti looked over his daughter's shoulder and saw Ben and the others. Ben grew nervous seeing the king look at him like that. This was different from when he first met king Romulus, king Seti was a mystery to Ben, he didn't know how he was going to act or what he was going to say. Ben was mated to Diana by a mysterious but natural bond, Ben was engaged to Isis through him unknowingly defeating an enemy when he was 10.
"Which one of is the one supposed to marry my daughter? Which one of you is the so-called Ben 10, savior of the universe and bearer of the omnitrix?" Seti asked
Ben gulped as he stepped forward and announced himself to king Seti
"I am Ben Tennyson, the one supposed to marry your daughter" Ben said nervously
King Seti didn't say anything, he just analyzed Ben up and down and saw the omnitrix on his left wrist
"You are the human going to be taking over my throne and carrying my bloodline in the future?" King Seti asked Ben
"Y…yes sir, I suppose I am" Ben answered
"Do you have an understanding of what comes with being king of Anur Kufos?" King Seti asked Ben
"Well, um not exactly but I'm sure I can figure it out" Ben answered rubbing the back of his head
King Seti let out an annoyed sigh and pinched where the bridge of his nose would be if he had one
"This incompetence is not exactly lightening for you hero" king Seti said
"Father, don't be so harsh to my chosen fiancé, I will be by his side and I will help him rule" Isis said to her father defending Ben
"Daughter, my dear daughter, you and I both know that is not how our empire works, if he is to take my place he has to know how to rule by his own" king Seti replied
"I understand father and figured that is what you would say" Isis said
"What is it that you are hinting at daughter?" King Seti asked Isis
Isis froze still from her father's question, she was afraid to answer and Ben could see that so he decided to answer
"Well you see king Seti Isis and I had this talk and we both decided that I don't want to rule on Anur Kufos, I'd like to stay on Earth with Isis and live a normal life" Ben answered
King Seti didn't speak after hearing Ben's answer, he sat still and quiet which worried Ben very much
"What in the great gods do mean by that?" King Seti asked Ben coldly
"The thing is, I know I'm not king material and I'm sure you think that as well, like I said before Isis and I talked about this and we would like to live a normal life on Earth and not have to worry about all of the royal requirements" Ben answered
"Did you now, Isis, is what the human saying true? Did both of you come to this agreement?" King Seti asked Isis looking over at her
"Yes father this is true, both Ben and I want to live a normal life on Earth without having to worry about the responsibilities of being king and queen of Anur Kufos" Isis answered
A long silence grew throughout the throne room amongst the Thep Kufans who had heard that. King Seti leaned back in his throne after being taken a bit surprised by his daughter's answer.
"King Seti, I will still marry your daughter I won't avoid that responsibility but I can't be king" Ben said
"You are right human but law is law and you will become king regardless of what you and my daughter want" king Seti replied in a deep voice
"Papa, that bandage guy is scary" Eira said popping out from behind Ben's back
"Yeah papa scary" Lucia said also popping out as well
King Seti was surprised to see the two young Necrofriggians behind Ben
"What are those two things and whom do they belong to?" King Seti asked angered
"King Seti, these two are my daughters and they are Necrofriggians" Ben answered stepping in front of Eira and Lucia
"So you are with another woman, UNEXCEPTABLE!!!" King Seti yelled slamming his scepter down on the ground
"No that's not it, I have a Necrofriggian form and I gave birth to them since Necrofriggians are asexual and they reproduce every 80 years" Ben replied trying to calm the king down
"I don't not care for your lies, you have fooled me and used my patience for the last time" king Seti said
"Father, my pharaoh isn't telling you lies, he speaks of the truth those two children are his by his own self" Isis said also trying to calm her father
"You still wish to be with this human regardless of the lies he has told you? FINE, you can stay with him, all you leave now before I have all of you executed on the spot" king Seti said slamming his scepter on the ground
"But father" Isis said
"ENOUGH, ALL OF BEGON AND NEVER COME BACK TO MY PLANET!!!" King Seti said
This time king Seti tapped his scepter on the ground three times and all of the guards aimed their swords and spears at Ben and the others. Isis reached out to her father but Ben grabbed onto her.
"Let's leave, the girls are scared and this isn't worth it" Ben said to her
"I understand" was all Isis said hanging her head down
Time Skip
Rustbucket IV
Ben and the others quickly left the palace and got back aboard the Rustbucket IV. As Helen zoomed to the cockpit everyone sat down. When the Rustbucket took off Ben saw Isis looking out the window down at her home with tears in her eyes.
"Don't cry Isis, you've got me here with you" Ben said trying to comfort the Thep Kufan
"This was my home for so long and now I am never going to see it again" Isis said
"This is hard for you Isis but we are all here for you especially me" Diana said
"I'm sure once he calms down and is able to think your father will apologize and let you return" Gwen said
"That guy is a real jerk, somebody need to put him in his place" Kevin said punching the palm of his hand
"Kev, that "jerk" is her father" Ben said
"Come on Kevin, violence isn't always the answer" Gwen said disappointed
"Whatever" Kevin said crossing his arms
Suddenly the lights in the Rustbucket IV began to flash
"We've got an incoming message from Galvan Prime" Helen said
"Answer it" Ben said
A hologram of a small frog like alien appeared in front of everyone
"Benjamin Tennyson, you need to come to Galvan Prime immediately" the alien said
"Azmuth what's the problem?" Ben asked
"Sometimes your human stupidity annoys me, those two Necrofriggian children are the reason I want you to come to my planet" Azmuth answered pointing at Eira and Lucia
A/N: Alright readers here is another chapter for you all and I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry it took so long for a new chapter to come out but I've just been busy lately. Eventually I will find the time to come up with an updating schedule, when I do you readers will be the first to know. Now time to respond to some comments from you readers. BoredKing, I too read GreyKing's story and I liked it but as the story went on I too thought it kind of got boring. I know my story in the beginning will have a few similarities to his but future chapters will be different and unique. Ohma flame, yeah I figured not to many stories did it and those that did have it did a poor job at it. Bloodyninja88 don't worry you can change your vote but just this once. Also I agree as well I did see that Kai preferred Ben's alien forms then his human form and a Loboan being the one she cheated on him with was kind of obvious but perfect at the same time. With Max, yeah his timing was off but thankfully Ben and the others didn't jump the gun and expect to see a lot more of Helen in future chapters. HDG all don't worry if Spanish is your first language I understand completely also don't worry about there being a tie, I'm sure there won't be one once the vote ends. But if there is a tie I will extend the vote out another week. Now let's check on the voting and see where it stands as of now.
Gwen – 9
Lucy – 10
Elena – 10
Swift – 10
Frightwig – 3
Isosceles – 3
Rojo – 0
Female Waybad – 8
Alright readers those are how the votes stand as of now, remember 3 weeks was how long you had to vote. At the end of this week is when the voting will be done so if you haven't voted I suggest you vote now. If there happens to be a tie, I will extend the voting out another week only if there is a tie. Now thank you for reading and I will be seeing you all later
