Ben 10: Alternate Alien

Chapter 7: Happy Birthday

It was about a month later, and today was Looma's birthday.

Ben was currently put getting his gift for Looma.

At the house, Rook was helping to set up the house for the party. It was gonna be a smaller party today. Kevin and Gwen couldn't make it. Helen's team was coming this time though. Alan and Helen were both bringing dates they had yet to reveal. Max, Lucy and Ben's parents were coming. Rayona was coming by later with Young One. Rook Shar had work today.

Looma's father was actually coming to wish his little girl a happy birthday.

Lumi was helping tidy up as Kivi and Percy followed her everywhere through the house.

A table had been set up of food, and one had even set up for presents, like Lumi's birthday.

As Rook had just finished setting out a deli tray, he heard knocking at the door.

He went over to the door, and opened it to see Sandra and Carl there with gifts.

Rook, "ah, Mister and Missus Tennyson. Good to see you again."

Sandra, "hello Rook. Where's Ben?"

Rook, "he is out getting the gift he has for Looma."

Sandra, "well, let's hope he gets back soon."

Sandra and Carl walked inside, setting their gifts on the table as they went to talk to Looma, who was relaxing on the couch.

The party went on smoothly as a few minutes later, Max and Lucy arrived, and then a few minutes after that, Rayona arrived with Young One, who instantly began playing with Lumi and Kivi.

Another knock came a few minutes later, and Rook opened it to see Manny and Swift there.

Rook, "good to see you both. Come in!"

As soon as Manny and Swift entered, Rook heard someone clear their throats. He looked to see Attea of all people there!

Rook, "Empress Attea? What are you doing here?"

Helens head popped up from behind Attea, "oh, she's my date I was just grabbing the presents!"

Helen sped inside as Rook let Attea in.

Attea looked around, "huh, so this is where the Universe's greatest hero lives?"

Rook, "and his family."

Helen, "Alan's car was just behind us, so get ready to open the door again."

Rook, "right. Thank you Helen."

Just like Helen said, another knock was heard a minute later. Rook opened it to see Alan standing there.

Rook, "hello Alan. Where is your date?"

Alan, "she-"

Suddenly, a pair of pink arms wrapped around Alan's chest, and whose head propped itself on his shoulder, but Ester!

Ester, "heya Rook!"

Rook, "Ester? I did not expect you to come to this party, since Ben is your ex."

Ester, "I was a little hurt at first from our breakup, but I got past it. I just came to wish Looma a happy birthday with my man by my side."

Rook, "I did not expect you two to be dating."

Alan, "I bet no-one else guessed that Ben would be marrying Looma, am I right?"

Rook, "you are correct."

And with all of that, everyone was mingling like the last party. Looma was on the couch, tapping her foot, waiting for her beloved to return.

As the party went on for another thirty minutes, a strong knock was heard at the door. Looma went up to open it, and on the other side was her father!

Gar Redwind!

Looma, "father!"

Gar and Looma hugged in a nice warm embrace.

Gar, "it is great to see you my beloved daughter. Happy birthday!"

Gar had a large gift in his lower arms. He went inside and put the gift on the table with the others.

He turned to see Lumi looking at him.

Gar, "oh, who is this little one?"

Lumi, "I'm Lumi. Lumi Tennyson."

Gar, "wait, Benjamin has a daughter?"

Looma, "one of his aliens had children long ago, and Lumi is the only one who returned to my beloved."

Gar, "ah. Thank you for the clarification. Now, where is Benjamin?"

Looma, "he is out, bringing my gift hete. He says we may have to start cake and presents without him if he's not back by two."

Gar, "I'm sure he'll be here, he wouldn't miss your birthday unless he got caught up in something important."

Rook, "I shall give him a call to see where he is."

….

Meanwhile

We currently see Rath on top of a tank, manned by the Vreedle Siblings, Octagon, Isosceles and Rhomboid, with Rath holding a large pet carrier in his left arm. Despite the cold, Rath easnt shivering as he held the tank back.

Rath, "Let me tell you something Vreedle Brothers!"

Isosceles, "excuse me?"

Rath, "sorry. Vreedle Brothers and Sister. Rath doesn't have time to stop you guys! Rath needs to get this gift to his special lady for her birthday, and instead Rath has to deal with your sorry butts!"

Suddenly, a ringing was heard. Rath pulled out a phone from the green shorts he now wore, thanks to Azmuth fixing the glitch that made Rath rub around naked.

Rath, "helloooo?"

"Ben? It is Rook. Where are you right now? We are about to start the cake and ice cream in a few minutes."

Rath whispers, "let me tell you something, Rook Blanko, Rath is currently stopping the Vreedle Brothers-"

Isosceles, "ahem?"

Rath, "and sister, from robbing a bank with a tank. Rhyming aside, it's gonna take a few minutes to get there. Tell Looma that Rath will be there as soon as he can."

"Understood Ben."

Click

Rath out the phone away.

Rath, "now, where was Rath?"

Rhomboid, "uh, letting us go?"

Rath, "... oh, now Rath remembers!"

Rath jumped down and lifted the tank in his other hand as he put the carrier under his left arm.

Rath, "Rath's gonna carry you to Ma Vreedles house!"

Rath began jogging to where the Vreedles lived. As he did, he heard Octagon say, "congratulations on the engagement by the way!"

Rath, "thanks."

….

Looma had just finished opening most of her presents.

Carl and Sandra had gotten her a set of pajamas that were in her size.

Rook had gotten her new wrist gauntlets.

Rayona had gotten her some more casual looking clothes for her to wear when she went out with Ben. Most jeans and tank tops that were tailored to fit Tetramands.

Attea had gotten her a picture frame made out of parts of an Incursion blaster.

Manny had gotten her a stylish leather jacket with sleeves for all four arms.

Swift had gotten her a shield to match her armor.

Helen had gotten her a new two piece black bikini.

Alan and Ester had gotten her a set of soaps and lotions for her skin.

Max had gotten her a book about interspecies relationships, which Looma was very happy about.

Lucy had gotten her a visa card, so she could do some online shopping.

Lumi had made her a card, which had a drawing of Looma, Ben and Lumi all together.

Gar had gotten her a huge hammer to place over the fireplace.

Looma was gushing over the last gift when they heard a knock at the door.

Looma quickly ran to it, and opened it to see Ben there with the carrier, although it seemed a little heavy for the human.

Ben, "I'm so sorry I'm late Looma. I got held up, and I drove here as fast as I could, thank God Kevin finally fixed the car!"

Looma quickly brought Ben into a bone crushing hug he was used to by now.

Looma, "you being here is enough, beloved!"

Ben, "well, can I give you your gift?"

Looma, "oh, certainly."

Ben set the carrier down and opened it.

Ben got close to the front of it and said comfortingly, "it's okay little guy. C'mon out."

Slowly but surely, out came a small Vulpimancer pup. Looma was a little shocked.

Looma, "b-beloved?"

Ben, "I remember how much you said you missed Zurker. So, I wanted to get you something really special for your birthday. Looma, meet Razor."

Looma slowly held her arms out, making Razor leap into her arms and start to lick her cheek. Looma started laughing with slight tears in her eyes.

Looma, "beloved…. Ben, thank you so much. This is the kindest gift anyone has ever given me!"

Ben rubbed her back, "you deserve it Looma. You deserve it."

Everyone smiled as Ben and Looma looked down at Razor.

The rest of the party went wonderfully, as family and friends all bonded together.

….

It was much later. All of the guests had left. Lumi was currently snuggled on the couch with Percy, Kivi and Razor. Three house pets that she had already grown so close to.

Ben was just picking her up, and carefully carrying her to bed. Within a few minutes, Lumi was tucked into bed with all three pets at the foot of her bed.

Ben went over to the bathroom, doing all of the nightly activities, and finally entering his bedroom in a pair of black and green pajamas.

Looma was in her own pajamas under the covers, finishing the chapter of a book.

Ben got in bed next to her. As soon as the light were off, Looma asked, "beloved?"

Ben, "yes Looma?"

Looma, "can we do something tonight?"

Ben, "well, since it's your birthday, sure, what?"

Looma, "do you think we could cuddle tonight? With you in your Tetramand form?"

Ben, "uh, sure, why?"

Looma, "I love cuddling your tiny frame, but I wanted to try this tonight."

Ben, "alright Looma, no problem."

Ben fiddled with the watch for a moment, and transformed into FourArms, minus the armor for tonight. Looma and Ben wrapped themselves in eachothers arms, and quickly fell asleep.

….

We once again find Dr. Psychobos and Albedo in their lab. But this time, they were looking at another project. It was a mutated Pyronite, with the legs of a galvanic mechamorph, the right arm of Armadrillo, a Galvan eye, and Nechrofriggian wings on the back.

Albedo, "a mish mash of DNA, but it should be adequate in distracting Tennyson as we steal the pieces of technology we need."

Psychobos, "you wrote a list, right?"

Albedo, "what kind of idiotic question is that?"

As Psychobos walked off for a moment, Albedo quickly began writing down what they needed.

….

The next day, Looma had insisted on going to the park to play with Razor. It may have been freezing, since it was December, but Ben and the others weathered through the cold. Ben obliged, and was currently sitting on the bench as Looma played fetch with Razor. Lumi was on the playground, with Kivi following her. Percy was back at home.

As Lumi ran over to Ben, he heard someone say, "Ben!"

Ben looked to see Rook Shar and Young One walking towards them.

Ben, "Shar! Young One! What're you two doing here?"

Shar, "Rook had work today, so I decided to take Young One on a trip to the park, since I have a day off."

Ben, "well, it's great to see ya."

Shar sat next to Ben as Young One ran over to Lumi, who was riding Kivi.

A few minutes, just as Ben was getting comfortable, all of them heard a crash and ringing. They looked to see the crazed mutant we saw earlier wrecking an electronics store. Steam was coming from it as it rampaged.

Ben, "can't I go a single day without something like this happening?"

Shar looked to Ben, "Looma and I will watch Young One and the pets."

Ben, "thank you. Lumi, c'mon!"

Ben and his daughter ran forward and each slammed their watches down.

In a flash, Ben was, "Water Hazard!"

Lumi, in a flash, she was a female version of Ditto.

She yelled, "CopyCat!"

(I imagine she has the voice of Dot from Animaniacs, since Ditto is voiced by Yakko Warner; Rob Paulsen).

CC instantly became seve copies of herself, who started running around the mutant while making snide remarks as WH got an attack ready.

1, "hey hothead!"

2, "bet you can't hit me!"

3, "you look like a rejected nightmare I had once!"

4, "watch where we're going, ya fool!"

WH got his attack powered up and sprayed the mutant. This made it's flame go down for a moment, but that passed as it suddenly started blasting fire at the heroes. CC quickly reformed into one and transformed into Lumi's natural form. She flew into the air and began using her breath to try and freeze the mutant. WH saw this and got the same idea. They quickly slammed the watch and turned into, "Arctic-guana!"

Both of them used their freezing breath, encasing the mutant in ice, but making it topple over into many shards of ice.

Lumi flew down to AG as he turned back into Ben.

Lumi, "what was that thing daddy?"

Ben, "some form of mutant. The only question is, who sent it?"

...

Far away in their lab, Albedo and Psychobos had a large number of electronics to use for their experiments.

Their plans were coming along now...

….

Reviews:

Amanny: thanks for the compliments. And at first, Ben has to deal with his clone when it is first released, but after defeating Psychobos and Albedo, the clone becomes just like a child.

….

I have a new poll up. Much more simple. Asking whether, yes or no, if people wanna see a Little Nightmares AU story.

Also, for my DBZ story, and this one, it may take longer than you're used to for me to finish chapters. I'm not gonna abandon the story, but because I'm juggling two stories right now, as well as having a job, and just a bit of writer's block, updates will not be as frequent as before. I apologize.

And finally, if Manny and Swift became a couple, would anyone be opposed to it?
