Ben 10: Alternate Alien
Chapter 13: Halloween and ThanksGiving
It was two weeks later, and Halloween night!
We see the Tennyson family having a Halloween party!
The guests were Gwendolyn, Kevin, Devin, Rook and his family, Eunice, Lucy, Sunny, Max, Hope, Cooper, Attea and Helen.
Looma was dressed as Cleopata, with the wig and dress complimenting her red skin.
Kevin and Gwendolyn were dressed as Han and Leia, with Devin in an adorable Kylo Ren costume.
Rayona was dressed as Raggedy Anne of all things. Shar and Eunice were dressed as Catwoman and Black Canary.
Shar was Catwoman, (the Michelle Pfeiffer one), while Eunice was Black Canary, (the JLU version).
Lucy was using her shapeshifting to look like a different Disney Princess every other minute. She had just switched from Jasmine to Mulan, (the original).
Sunny was dressed in a nurses outfit, which the mom's at the party kept getting pissed at, since it was a little revealing.
Hope was in a witch outfit, with the hat, dress and broom, while Cooper was dressed as Harry Potter to match.
Max was dressed as Chief Hopper of Stranger Things.
Attea was forced to dress in an adult female Bulbasaur costume, (which consisted of a flower backpack and a blue and green spotted jumpsuit), as Helen had dressed up as a Charmander costume for adult females, (she had painted her skin orange, changed to a red jumpsuit, and put a fake fire on her tail).
Ben was about to take the kids out trick or treating.
He had locked himself in his Loboan form, which he had renamed K-9. It seemed better than Blitz-Wolfer and Ben-Wolf.
Rook was going with them, dressed in a hockey mask.
Lumi was dressed up as Mothra. She had the big wings strapped to her back, a fluffy hat with the eyes and antenna on her head, and a dress made in the titans color scheme.
Kivi was going with her, wearing a top hat and bow tie.
Kenny was dressed as the Michael Keaton Batman.
Young One was dressed as Freddy Krueger, with a glove that had plastic spoons and forks on it, a fedora hat, and a green and red sweater.
Ben and Rook stood with the kids on the front porch.
Ben, "everyone ready to trick or treat?"
The kids all cheered.
And so, they were off down the street.
There were many other kids out as well, getting candy from the various houses.
….
Alan was with Ester, Manny, Swift, FrightWig and Mazuma at Pumber HQ, and the party it was holding.
Alan was dressed as the Human Torch, (just a flame resistant patch with a four on it).
Ester was dressed as a genderbent Mr. Fantastic to match.
Manny was dressed as Prince Goro, with Swift as Mileena, with vampire fangs for her teeth.
FrightWig was Medusa, from the Inhuman comics, and Mazuma was a Terminator in a leather jacket, pants and sunglasses.
Driba and Blucik were at the main computers, dressed as R2-D2 and C3-P0. Driba as R2, and Blucik as 3-P0.
As the two were drinking some smoothies, they were looking over the security footage of their inmates.
The strangest thing they kept noticing, was that certain prisoners were doing the same actions, over and over.
These prisoners were: Albedo, Servantis, Acid Breath, Thumb Skull and Psychobos!
Driba, "something strange is going on."
Blucik, "I'll say. I'm almost outta pomegranate and lemon!"
Driba, "not that! Some of our prisoners keep doing the same things over and over. I swear, Albedo keeps pacing more than usual."
Blucik, "... hold on, let me check the cells for any unusual traces."
Afyer a few moments, Blucik said, "there's traces of…. Ectoplasm."
Driba, "like Vilgax's cell!
….
We go back to Ben, Rook and the kids, all trick or treating.
The kids all got praise for their costumes. All of their bags were filled with candy.
The kids were checking some of it now.
Ben had had a great idea. He had switched his locked form to Ditto, and pretended to be a kid. He was helping the kids get an extra bag of candy to share.
Kenny, "I got a jawbreaker."
Young One, "I have gotten a tootsie pop."
Ditto, "I got a candy bar!"
Lumi, "I got a spoon."
The boys looked at her strangely before she took a bite out of the metal spoon.
A little while later, and the kids were all but dragging their bags of candy.
Ditto, "alright, I think it's time to head back to the house."
The kids all agreed, and as the group started making their way back, Rook and Ditto both got calls from HQ.
Rook, "this is Rook Blanko?"
Ditto, "Ben Tennyson speaking?"
Both of them received the same message.
"Uh, Ben, Rook, it's Alan. I'm at the party at HQ, and we've got a situation. We need you to head to HQ as soon as you can."
Ditto and Rook shared a look as they said at the same time, "we'll be there soon."
And with that, Ditto unlocked the watch and turned back into Ben.
Ben, "alright kids, me and Rook have got some important issues. Let's hurry home."
Fifteen minutes later, the kids were back at the house as Ben and Rook had to head to HQ.
Lumi and Kenny were coming with.
Ben turned into XLR8.
Lumi turned into Mach5.
Kenny turned into JetFire.
Rook was taking the Truk. Max was coming too, since he was an important member of the Plumbers.
And with that, they sped towards HQ.
….
Soon, the group were standing at the computer with the other Plumbers around them.
Ben, "just like Vilgax's station."
Driba, "a ghost alien broke into these cells, left these small holographic projectors, and used their abilities to free Albedo, Servantis, Acid Breath, Thumb Skull and Psychobos."
Blucik, "a lot of bad guys that are pissed at Ben."
Ben, "the only ghost alien I can think of is GhostFreak."
Rook, "Zs'skyar must be breaking out these villains for a reason."
Ben, "it's obviously to try and kill me."
Max, "or anyone associated with you."
Ben, "every Plumber must keep their guard up when they leave HQ. Same goes for non-Plumbers who know us."
Max, "all that's left is to wait for these villains to strike…."
….
In an old abandoned warehouse, we see Volcanis and his minions moving large crates filled with Taynadite crystals into a ship.
Volcanis, "while everyone's busy getting candy, we've got the perfect time to do all of this! How can this night get any better?!"
"We've got an idea."
Volcanis quickly pulled out a laser gun as he spotted several figures emerging from the shadows.
First was Vilgax. Then Zombozo and his two cronies. Followed by Albedo, Psychobos and Servantis.
Volcanis, "the Hell do you freaks want?"
And that was the cue that made Zs'skyar emerge from the ground.
He said, "a proposition?"
Volcanis, "gulp, what kind of proposition?"
Vilgax, "the death of Ben Tennyson."
Albedo, "once and for all."
Volcanis, "... you've aroused my curiosity…."
….
Ben was back home later, with the kids in bed, and him getting ready to join Looma in theirs.
But as Ben was picking up some decorations from the ground, he heard a knock at the door.
Ben was confused, but answered the door.
And standing there...
... was Elena!
In her human form!
Ben, "Elena?!"
Elena, "Ben. I have information you need!"
Ben cautiously let her inside and on the couch.
As she sat there, Ben said, "if you try anything, it won't end for you. What info do you have?"
Elena, "these villains that have been escaping! I know who's been breaking them out of jail!"
Ben, "is it GhostFreak?"
Elena, "yes! I caught them one night, and have been meaning to try and help all of you with this situatuon."
Ben, "... if you come with me to Plumber HQ tomorrow, will you help us?"
Elena, "gldly!"
And the two shook hands, thus sealing the deal.
...
A month later, it was Thanksgiving.
In that time, Lumi had a new alien.
Her version of RipJaws; Angler.
Angler looked like RipJaws, but with sharper teeth, actual lips to cover them, and more curves.
Elena had also been helping the Plumbers on their search for the villains escaping. It was uneasy at first, but she slowly but surely regained the trust of the Plumbers, joint their ranks once more.
Anyway, today was ThanksGiving.
The whole Tennyson family, and all of their friend's were there. Even Kai and Julie with their dates. Hell, even Elena had come as a guest.
Inside of the kitchen were two Echo Echo's, three CopyCats, and two EchoBack's.
They were all busy in the kitchen, cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
And boy was it a very big dinner.
They had to make sure it was big enough for so many people.
And the three Tennyson's had been preparing almost the entire day!
And fifteen minutes later, it had finally paid off!
Dinner was finally finished, and ready to be served.
Ben turned into Four Arms, Lumi turned into RedWind, and Kenny turned into FourRath.
And with that, each one of them took the plates into their four arms and brought out the food.
Four Arms announced, "dinner is served!"
The food was placed all around the table as everyone was eager to eat.
But before anyone could dig in, Sandra said, "Ben, how about you say grace?"
Everyone tried to contain their groans.
Ben, "uh, alright then."
As everyone joined hands, Ben began.
"When I look around this table, what do I see?"
Ben addressed each person at the large table.
Ben and Gwendolyn's parents, "great parents."
Max, "a wise mentor."
Verdona, "an amazing Anodite."
Sunny and Lucy, "fantastic cousins."
Kevin, "a man I could very well call a brother."
Rook, "the best partner a plumber could have."
Rook's family, including Eunice, "his family."
Gwendolyn, "a cousin I see as more of a sister."
Devin, "an adorable nephew."
Helen and her team, "one of the finest team of Plumbers I've ever seen in my life."
Attea, "a powerhouse Empress."
Gar, "a proud king."
Cooper, "a skilled inventor."
Hope, "a dang great magic user."
Kai, "the best archeologist in Bellwood."
Boris, "a skilled Plumber with great potential."
Julie, "the tennis champion of many places."
Herve, "a great photographer."
Tetrax, "a captain of great praise."
Eight Eight, Seven Seven, Six Six and Two Two, "some fine bounty hunters."
Myaxx, "a skilled scientist and fighter."
Elena, "an old friend I'm glad yo have again."
Azmuth, "the smartest being in countless galaxies."
Percy, Kivi, Razor and Zed, "four amazing pets."
Argit, "a rat."
Everyone snickered at the jab at Kevin's guest.
Lumi and Kenny, "two kids I couldn't be more proud of."
Looma, "and the most beautiful and fearsome Tetramand in the galaxy."
"All of you mean a lot to me. I'm proud to call all of you family, on this amazing holiday. You are all without a doubt the forty five and a half", Looma looked to her stomach, "most amazing people in my life. And so, let us toast and feast to our…. Family."
Everyone flunked their drinks together as everyone said, "amen", and dug into their meals.
….
We see on the planet of Luna Loba, night-time, a Plumber ship crash landed there.
And making their way from the wreckage were three dangerous people.
Dr. Animo.
Kyber.
And Malware.
Kyber, "nice flying, genius."
Malware, "shut up Kyber. The only reason you're here right now, is because I let you out of your cell and let you tag along."
Animo, "will you two stop bickering. We need to find a place to hide before we can make our way towards Earth. Only then can we enact our revenge on Ben Tennyson!"
Malware, "christ, like that's ever gonna happen. We've all tried to end him, and none of us have succeeded."
"Alone, probably not."
All three turned to see Zs'skyar emerging from the shadows with all of this allies.
Zs'skyar, "but together?"
Malware, "you're the one many call GhostFreak, correct?"
Zs'skyar, "indeed."
Kyber, "and what do all of you want with us?"
Vilgax, "revenge."
Servantis, "on the man who ruined all of our lives."
Zombozo, "multiple times."
Volcanis, "Ben."
Albedo, "Tennyson."
Animo, Malware and Kyber looked at one another, nodded and said together, "we're in."

Reviews:
Nathanael Card: glad you like the build up. Also, I like writing the romantic moments, and I try not to go back on any couples. And sorry for taking so long with chapters.
Guest: well, I don't think it would work in this story. At one point, I was thinking of having Hope be in a 3-way relationship with Looma and Ben, but having her and Cooper be together seemed like a good idea. As for Elena, I was thinking of having her join the Plumbers and end up with an OC.
outlawedrival21: I never really watched Power Rangers, so I'm probably not gonna do a story on it.
William Escobar 608: I may do that, but it'll be after I'm done with this story and any other ones I'm working on.
Amanny: I'm glad you liked the chapter. I wanted Devin to grow up alongside Looma and Ben's kid or kids. It'll be a surprise on what Looma is carrying. I am glad ypu liked my ideas on Hope x Cooper, FrightWig joining the Plumbers, and Elena being on Ben's side. Lumi gets a new alien on her birthdays and on Christmas.
….
Note: I made a slight change to the chapter, showing Elena confronting Ben.
Sorry it's been awhile. Again, I've been having a bit of writer's block for some of my stories.
The list of villains teaming up; Zs'skyar, Villgax, Zombozo, Albedo, Psychobos, Malware, Servantis, Volcanis, Animo, Kyber, Dark Star, Acid Breath and Thumb Skull. Captain Nemesis isn't really much of a threat, so he may or may not join this team of villains.
Again, I have a poll up for a Little Nightmares AU story up. Vote while you can.
