Ben 10: Alternate Alien

Chapter 3: RedWind

"Looma?!"

Standing in the doorway was the fearsome Tetramand Princess Ben had found himself engaged to two years ago.

Looma RedWind. Princess of Kohros.

You could see Kevin cowering behind Gwendolyn in fear. Gwendolyn had a look of annoyance on her face. Rook and Rook Shar had nearly reached for their proto tools.

Everyone had a very confused look at the new guest. Looma was wearing her usual armor, and was carrying a large crate in her upper right arm.

Looma, "hello there beloved! I have come bearing gifts!"

Ben, "w-what the heck are you doing here?!"

Looma, "well, I figured that it has been about two years. And with only one year until our wedding, I figured that we needed to spend some time together in preparation."

Ben, "I thought you called off the wedding years ago!"

Looma, "I almost did, but I realized, I began to develop genuine feelings for you. So, I have come bearing a present!"

Looma held the crate out as she backed Ben inside. Everyone was looking on in total and utter confusion.

Ben, "um, Looma, I'm not sure if today is the best time for this."

Looma, "why? What could be more important than giving my beloved a gift?"

Ben's gaze drifted over to Lumi, who was holding her plushie of Ditto and looking on with a strange look. Looma caught Ben's gaze and turned her own to look at Lumi. She then noticed all of the decorations around the room.

Looma, "um, is a celebration going on?"

Rook, "it is the birthday for Lumi."

Looma, "who is Lumi? Has someone else taken the heart of my beloved?"

Gwendolyn, "no. Lumi is Ben's daughter."

Looma, "d-daughter?"

Max, "before you overreact Princess, just let Ben explain how he has a daughter."

Looma, "ngh, proceed…."

Ben, "one of my aliens, Big Chill, gave birth when I was around fifteen. Lumi is the only one of my children who we found, and held an attachment to me, and might be the only one left alive. When the Plumbers found her, I took her in. For about a month now, she's been living with me."

Looma seemed to understand. She looked around at the party and suddenly slapped her hand to her forehead and said, "I don't have a gift!"

Ben, "i-it's okay! You didn't know she existed until now. You can get her a present another day if you want?"

Looma, "thank you for being so understanding beloved. Um, may I present your gift?"

Ben, "uh, sure?"

Looma set the crate down and opened it, revealing some very fierce and strong looking armor for a Tetramand. It was like her armor, but built for a male of her species.

Looma, "it is armor for your Tetramand form to wear in combat!"

Ben, "wow. T-thanks Looma. That's actually a well thought out gift."

Looma, "can you put it on?"

Ben, "er, sure. Hold on."

Ben activated the Ultimatrix and transformed into FourArms. Looma helped him put on the armor with a slightly lusty look in her eyes. The alien looked like a fierce warrior. FourArms fiddled with the watch for a moment, moving it left and right a few times. He quickly transformed back into Ben, and the armor was gone.

Looma, "w-where is the armor?"

Ben, "it's with FourArms. He'll wear it every time he transforms."

Looma, "oh. I cannot wait to see that!"

Silence reigned for a few moments.

That is, until Looma felt a tug on her skirt. She looked down to see Lumi there. She was holding a plate of cake.

Lumi, "do you want some cake?"

Lumi had just met this woman, and she was already being friendly to her!

Ben, "Lumi's right. It's a party after all. Let's have a little fun!"

Everyone agreed, and began taking up their own parts of the house, talking with one another.

Ben couldn't help the chuckle that escaped him as he spotted Lumi and Looma sitting on the couch talking! Young One and Zed were nearby.

Gwendolyn made her way over to Ben and said, "are you alright with her being here? I'm a little wary about her being here."

Ben, "are you sure that's not because of what happened when we first met her?"

Gwendolyn, "to be fair, I was more mad at Kevin for not telling me about it, rather than the girl he tricked."

Ben, "I hope you punished him for that."

Gwendolyn, "I kicked him out of our dorm for two weeks until he took me to dinner, a movie, and cleaned the whole dorm."

Ben, "dang, that's one way to make things right."

Gwendolyn, "but what about you? Are you okay with trying to form something with Looma?"

Ben, "well, it's a little awkward, but, I think if I can be a decent parent, I can survive spending time with a four armed Amazon Warrior."

Gwendolyn, "well, good luck Ben. You are definitely gonna need it."

And so, several hours later, the evening began to draw to a close. The guests each left in their little groups, wishing farewell to Ben and Lumi.

Rook's family was the last to leave.

Rook told Ben, "remember, we need you for a mission on Friday, three days from now, so try to find someone to watch Lumi, alright?"

Ben, "sure thing Rook. See you all later!"

And with that, the only people left in the house were Ben, Lumi, and Looma.

They were left in an awkward silence for a minute before Ben spoke, "so, uh, Looma…. Are you staying anywhere on Earth?"

Looma, "well, I took a smaller ship here, as not to cause any panic."

Ben, "smart. Well, uh, would you…. Like to stay here tonight?"

Looma, "I was actually going to suggest that I stay with you during my time on Earth, so we could get used to one another."

Ben, "well, uh, I guess that makes sense. Um, Lumi and I have our own rooms, but I haven't had time to make a new guest room. Do you wanna take the couch, or…?"

Looma, "well, I assumed we would be sharing a bed, since we are engaged?"

Ben, "er, uh…."

Lumi tugged on her father's pants, saving him for a moment.

Lumi, "daddy? Can we watch a movie tonight?"

Ben, "of course honey. It's your birthday."

Lumi smiled as she ran over to the DVD shelf to grab her current favorite movie. The Muppet Movie. Yep, even in Ben's universe, the Muppets were an icon everyone loved.

Ben, "I'll go make some popcorn. Looma, you want any?"

Looma, "I do not believe I have ever had this, corn that has been popped. Is it good?"

Lumi, "delicious!"

Looma, "then I will have some."

Ben, "alright then. Lumi, you start the movie up."

Lumi, "okay!"

Lumi ran over to the tv and got the DVD player up and running. Looma was surprised at how tech savvy someone so young could be.

Soon, Ben came in with a large bowl full of popcorn. He sat on the couch right next to Lumi, with Looma on the other side. Ben set the bowl on Lumi's lap, earning an award winning smile from the little Nechrofriggian. Kivi was sat down on the ground nearby. Ben used the remote control to skip the trailers straight to the main menu. Once the movie started, Looma found herself utterly engaged with the story of the little frog puppet who wanted to be famous. Ben found it quite comical how the big red woman with four arms became so enthralled about s movie with sock puppets as the main leads. Lumi and Looma are most of the popcorn as the film went on. By the time the film was over, Lumi was near asleep, holding her two new plushies to her as she dozed off. Ben carefully picked her up and took her to her room. During the party, Ben had taken most of Lumi's gifts to her room. The bed had the new sheets on it. Ben tucked Lumi in as she clutched her plushie of Ditto in her arms, with her hand gripping her Goop blanket, and her head resting on the Upgrade pillow. The CanonBolt plushie was right next to her, tucked in. Kivi had curled up at the foot of her bed.

Ben kissed her forehead.

Ben, "goodnight Princess."

Lumi, "g'night daddy."

Looma looked at Ben, silently asking a question, to which Ben nodded.

Looma bent down and kissed Lumi on the head, "good night little warrior."

Lumi, "mmm, g'night mama."

Both Ben and Loomas hearts skipped a beat when they heard that. Lumi had known Looma for a day, and was already warming up to her like a mother! Ben and Looma quietly left the room, and made their way to the living room. They both sat down on the couch.

Looma, "she…. She called me mama."

Ben, "I heard. It's amazing how well she grows close to others."

Looma, "so, um, beloved?"

Ben, "yes?"

Looma, "are you uncomfortable with me being here?"

Ben, "well, at first, yeah. I mean, this whole engagement thing still messes with my mind, and Hell, I just got out of a relationship."

Looma, "I know it's awkward, but I would very much love to help you with Lumi. The little warrior has stolen my heart!"

Ben, "yeah, she has that effect on everyone. Well…. If you're willing to give it a shot, we could go out, all three of us? Tomorrow, perhaps?"

Looma, "I would love to!"

So, Ben and Looma went to Ben's room. Ben almost took his shirt off, but remembered that Looma was in the room with him.

Ben turned and said, "uh, Looma, could y-"

Ben stopped his words as he saw Looma had taken off her armor to reveal her gorgeous figure in a skin-tight black leotard and skirt. Her hair went down her back in beautiful raven locks. Without the armor, Ben could notice her rather large breasts and ass that were concealed by it. Her abs were an amazing compliment to her figure.

Looma didn't seem fazed, "yes, beloved?"

Ben, "uh…. D-do you mind if I sleep without a shirt?"

Looma, "oh, of course not. Whatever you feel the most comfortable with. It IS your home, afterall."

Ben gave a small sigh of relief as he took his shirt off. Looma was able to get a good look of Ben's slightly more muscular frame. He had gotten actual muscles and the hints of abs in the past two years.

Ben walked over to the bed and sat on it, taking his shoes and socks off. Looma sat on the other side of the bed.

Ben asked, "so, um, how do we do this?"

Looma, "well, I can sleep on the top of the covers for now, if you are not yet comfortable with my presence."

Ben, "thanks. That helps a lot Looma."

Ben snuggled under his covers as Looma layed down right beside him.

Ben shut the light off and said, "good night Looma."

Looma, "good night beloved."

Soon, the two occupants of the bed drifted into slumber.

….

Later that night

Ben heard a soft knock on his bedroom door. It had woken him up. Ben had found himself in Loomas arms as she was also awakened.

The two looked at each other for a moment before quickly separating.

Ben called to the door, "come in."

The door opened a creak as Lumi poked her head through.

She sniffled and said, "daddy?"

Ben grew concerned as he asked, "what's wrong honey?"

Lumi, "I had a nightmare. C-can I sleep with you two tonight?"

Ben looked at Looma for a moment before he said, "of course sweetie. Come here."

Lumi came in with her blanket and Ditto plushie. She climbed onto the bed and settled in-between the two adults."

Looma, "what was your nightmare about, little warrior?"

Lumi, "sniff, I was being chased."

Ben, "chased by what?"

Lumi, "it was…. Scary. Some kind of purple crab thingy on a big monster. And, I saw a ghost alien. He was really scary. I could see other's, but they looked like they were covered in shadows."

Ben's mind instantly thought of Dr. Psychobos. He hadn't fought that mad genius in years. And Lumi had a dream of him riding some large creature? That couldn't be a coincidence. And the second one. GhostFreak. One of his most infamous enemies. That alien had escaped the Omnitrix, and had managed to return over and over again. If that monster ever came after his daughter, he'd make sure he could never come back again. And if she saw more people, Lord only knew what else might be after him and his family. Ben would never let them hurt his daughter though.

Ben hugged his daughter. She buried her face in his chest as Ben spoke soothingly to her. "It'll be okay. Nothing's gonna hurt you. Whoever these bad people are, they'll have to get through me first."

Looma started rubbing Lumi's back, "and me. No-one will defeat me in combat if you're on the line."

Lumi turned to Looma and hugged her, surprising the Princess. Ben and Looma looked at one another before giving each other smiles as they both hugged Lumi. The three of them all fell asleep in a few minutes….

….

The next day.

We see Ben and Looma walking through the park, Lumi was running with Kivi around the park as the two adults kept an eye on her. Ben and Looma found her antics utterly adorable. The little girl was using her human form today, since she wanted to show it off. She looked like a normal little girl with abnormal looking hair. Soon, the group came to where the jungle gym and benches were. Ben and Looma sat down as Lumi started running around with Kivi.

Ben, "she loves that thing, doesn't she?"

Looma, "it reminds me of when I found a Vulpimancer on my home planet. Tusker, was his name. I had him for many years. He was an amazing companion."

Ben, "well…. What happened to it?"

Looma, "he went with me everywhere. Including hunting missions and such. One day, we had been ambushed by a gang of beasts. He was killed, protecting me after I had my leg broken. I slaughtered all of them. I took Tusker home, and gave him a proper burial."

Ben was shocked to see the great and mighty Looma RedWind shed a tear at the memory. Ben rubbed her arm, offering her comfort.

Ben, "it was brave of you to tell me that story Looma."

Looma, "thank you beloved."

As Lumi ran to them, they all suddenly heard an explosion!

They turned to where they heard the sound, and saw a certain gang making their getaway!

Ben, "oh great, it's Rojo!"

Looma, "who?"

Ben, "an old enemy. A while ago, she started a new gang. Suemongousaur, Yetta and Turbine are her current lackeys."

Ben jumped up and activated the watch. He transformed into JetRay.

"JetRay! I'll stop their car. You get ready to fight!"

Looma, "yes beloved!"

JetRay looked to Lumi, "Lumi, I need you to help freeze the front tires while I blast the back ones. Got it?"

Lumi nodded and quickly transformed back into her alien form. She wasn't about to pass up helping her dad kick some bad guy butt!

JetRay and Lumi flew as fast as they could after the truck Rojo and her crew were driving. Looma was running after them, with Kivi trailing behind.

Rojo spotted the aliens chasing them, "shit! It's Tennyson and some new cronies of his!"

Turbine was in the passenger seat. She grabbed a gun and started blasting at the flying aliens. Yetta and Sue were throwing stuff from the truck at Looma, who dodged the items easily.

Lumi flew to the front of the truck while Turbine was busy trying to shoot Ben. Lumi used her freeze breath, and managed to freeze the tires of the truck, stopping it in its tracks! The crew abandoned their vehicle and started to run.

JetRay landed and said, "they aren't gonna get far!"

JetRay activated the Ultimate Function, changing him. Evolving him.

JetRay now had dark blue skin with black stripes on it. He was slightly longer. The flaps under his wings had moved to his back as regular wings. His tail now has a point like a trident on it, his horns on his head were longer, his claws were sharper, and his eyes were a deep yellow.

"Ultimate JetRay!"

U-JetRay sped after the crew with Looma, Lumi and Kivi in hot pursuit.

They reached the criminals and began fighting. Looma went hand to hand with Yetta. U-JetRay started blasting at Rojo and her tech suit. Lumi managed to freeze Turbines legs to the ground. The woman tried blasting her, but was blocked by Kivi, who had seemingly grown into a larger stone creature to fight. He knocked Turbine out with a single punch, and transformed right back to his smaller form, waddling up to Lumi.

Looma was managing to gold Yetta off as U-JetRay managed to knock Rojo into Sue, knocking them into the side of a building.

Yetta used an electric attack, sending Looma into a tree and knocking the wind out of her. U-JetRay saw this, and snappe! He quickly transformed back into JetRay, but then transformed into, "Chromastone!"

Chromastone looked the same, except he now had a belt, and sharper pink spikes on him.

Yetta tried blasting Chromastone, but he absorbed the attack and sent it right back at her! This knocked her into the truck, and knocked her out.

Chromastone went to Looma and helped her up.

CS, "are you alright?"

Looma, "fine. Just knocked down for a moment."

Sue suddenly lunged at Chromastone and Looma, but the aliens were too quick, turning around and punching her in the gut. This knocked the wind out of her for enough time for our heros to kick her in the face, sending her to the ground unconscious. Hey, if you got hit in the face with a rock and a Tetramands foot, you would too!

All of the crooks were knocked out. Chromastone transformed back into Ben.

Ben quickly contacted the plumbers, "plumbers HQ, this is Ben Tennyson. I, with help from Looma RedWind and my daughter Lumi, have just taken down Rojo and her gang. We'll tie them up for you, please pick them up."

"Roger that Tennyson."

Ben quickly transformed into Swampfire, who looked more like his old self, but still had that colar he had gotten. He made some vines and wrapped up the criminals. Once this was done, he turned back into Ben.

Ben went over to the truck and saw what was being stolen. A bunch of random tech. This wasn't really Rojo's style. It seemed like she was paid for getting these. Hopefully the plumbers could figure it out.

Ben turned to Lumi and Looma and said, "well, our first battle together deserves some kind of reward!"

Lumi, "Mister Smoothies?"

Ben, "Mister Smoothies."

Lumi and Ben fistpumped.

Looma, "what is Mister Smoothie?"

Ben and Lumi gave horrified looks, which turned into huge grins.

….

All three of them were happily sucking smoothies at Ben and Lumi's favorite place in town.

And now it was Looma's favorite.

They way the three of them sat together, with Kivi under the table, Ben sharing his chilli fries with Looma, and regular fries with Lumi, they looked like an actual family.

….

Far away, in a secret lab, we see a short purple crab-like alien, watching footage of the battle seen earlier.

Thus was Dr. Psychobos.

Dr. P, "hmm…. So, Tennyson has a little bug, and a four armed whore by his side? No matter…."

He looked over plans if some sort of to be that would grow something.

The project was labelled; KN-10.

Dr. P, "... soon, once I have the boys DNA, he'll be no match for you…."

….

Reviews:

Amanny: glad you liked it. I wanted to make sure Lumi would get close to Ben's friends and family, since she's his daughter. Also, depending on what wins the poll, one of Lumi's first 10 aliens might be FourArms.

Jp721: sorry it wasn't Helen or Ester. But don't worry. I WILL do something with those characters. Like, if there's any character other than Ben you'd like to see those two with, I'm all ears! Like, one idea I had was to have Ester and Alan date. Y'know, since her species loves the heat, and Alan can turn into a Pyronyte? Just a thought.

….

Looma has entered the story!

For those who voted for Hope in the poll, I will eventually make a one shot of Ben and Hope as a couple to make up for it.

Also, in your reviews, name what other aliens you would love to see the Ultimate versions if that we didn't get to see in the show?

Dr. Psychobos will be the first major enemy of the story, as foreshadowed. Eventually, we will see what exactly his plan is.
