Ben 10: Alternate Alien
Chapter 19: Another RoadTrip.
Four Years Later
We see three familiar faces sitting in their final class for the day, watching the clock.
The first was Lumi.
She wore a dark blue jacket with dark green pants and a black shirt. Her hair was in a short ponytail, and was streaked with brown and blue.
Next to her was Zane, who wore an orange flannel shirt and black pants. His tail still poked out of his pants, since it wouldn't fall off.
And next to him was Kenny, who looked exactly like his father at 10, but with slightly darker skin, and a black and green version of Ben's old shirt.
All three of them were excited for what was coming.
They would be going on a RoadTrip!
Just like Ben and Gwendolyn had all of those years ago.
Ben, Looma and Rook were a little worried about not seeing their kids for a while, but they knew Grandpa Max would take care of them.
They hoped that maybe one day, Maxwell, Bridget and Devin could go on this trip at 10 as well.
And so, when the bell finally rang, all three were out the door as fast as they could go, with big smiles on their faces.
Lumi, "Summer Vacation!"
Kenny, "and a trip across the country with Great Grandpa Max!
Zane, "I am glad my parents have allowed me to go on this trip with you. I am excited to see much of this country."
As the kids walked out, they heard, "c'mon, give 'em up!"
Standing there was Conner and Edgar, holding up a 3rd grader.
Jerome and Carth had eventually left the little group of bullies and actually started acting nice to Lumi and the others, but Conner and Edgar still tried to bully them.
And usually got a rock to the head.
Kenny, "let him go Conner."
Edgar, "sure, as soon as he gives us his new Sumo Slammer cards!"
Lumi showed her Omnitrix.
In the last four years, Lumi and Kenny had each gotten four new aliens each.
They didn't get two a year anymore, since that seemed like overkill.
Lumi received;
OverFlow, her version of WaterHazard, who was slightly curved, and had sharper claws.
Furryous, a female Apoplexuan dressed in a dark blue leotard, and had muscles for days.
Leggo, a curved version of Bloxx with a smaller chin, and a ponytail of bricks.
And Spectre, a female ectronight, with a longer tail, and the top of their head looked like long hair.
Kenny received;
HumongousStrike, who was basically Humongousaur with FrankenStrike's Pylons.
NRDrillo, Armadrillo with dark green armor, and the drills could use radiation.
BullJaws, an Incursion with RipJaws teeth, claws, and can turn his legs into a fishtail.
Wild-9, a Vulpimancer that could stand on stronger hindlegs, had a larger snout with pointed ears and a tail, and dark orange fur.
Lumi, "you want a visit from RedWind?"
Conner, "pfft, like you'd actually attack us?"
Kenny, "maybe not us…."
That's when a ball of slime jumped out of Lumi's watch, and formed into a Polymorph that glared at the bullies.
Conner immediately let go of the kid as he grabbed Edgar and ran.
That was why they weren't effective bullies.
Lumi and Kenny could easily scare them away.
Especially when they brought out D-Ez.
Yep, D-Ez had been able to construct his own body a few months after the events with Vilgax, Zs'skyar and Albedo.
And so, D-Ez jumped back into the Omnitrix.
And that's when the trio heard something pull up.
They turned to see the RustBucket there, looking the same as ever.
The door opened up, and Max stepped out with Kivi running up to Lumi.
She pet the stone creature affectionately as Max walked over to them, holding Percy.
Max, "Looma thought you'd miss your little buddies, so I thought we'd take them along."
Lumi held Percy as she said, "awesome!"
Max led the kids into the RustBucket as Kenny said, "nothing can ruin this trip!"
"Heya sugah."
Kenny's eyes widened as he saw Scalene sitting at the table in the RV, with a big smile on her face.
She now wore a red pair of shorts, her hair was in pigtails like her mom, and her shirt was a yellow buttoned up T-shirt that had the top two buttons undone, with a heart on the back, with, "K+S", in the middle of it.
Kenny, "Scalene!? What are you doing here?!"
Max, "she asked her mother if she could come on the trip with us, and I obliged."
Lumi and Zane were snickering as Scalene grabbed Kenny's arm and started hugging it.
Max got in the driver's seat and said, "who's ready for the trip of a lifetime?"
All of the kids raised their hands and said, "I am!"
Although Kenny had a little trouble, since Scalene kept a hold of his arm.
….
Looma and Ben had been messaged by Max that he and the kids were off on their trip. Max had already grabbed the kids' bags for the trip before he went off to get them.
They were a little worried, but they knew their kids would be safe.
Currently, Ben was cooking in the kitchen with Bridget.
Ben now had some stubble, a black and white shirt under his green jacket, and was now more muscular.
Bridget had grown a lot in recent years.
Her red skin was still lighter than most Tetramands, her green eyes contrasted with it. Her brown hair was kept in a pixie cut. She wore a purple version of Gwendolyn's shirt, and some black pants like her father's from when he was ten.
She was daddy's girl.
The two of them were currently having fun trying to make a recipe they had seen online.
It was for a strange burger, with cheese in the middle, and small sprinkles of chips within. They weren't going to deep fry the buns, since they didn't want a heart attack.
Meanwhile, in the training room, Looma and Maxwell were both lifting weights.
Maxwell was lifting one that would've been too large for a human child to lift.
Looma had grown more muscular and curvaceous as the years went by. She still loved to wear her old armor.
And her and Ben's love life was still as loving, (and sensual), as ever. They didn't have most nights alone, but when they did, you could hear them from Galvan Prime and beyond.
Anyway, back to Maxwell.
Maxwell had darker red skin, smaller muscles like his mom, and usually wore a black shirt with a green ten on the back, and the RedWind family crest on the front, and some blue jean shorts.
Maxwell was more of a momma's boy.
As the two of them set down their weights, they heard a growl.
They turned to see a large Vulpimancer race at them.
Maxwell held his arms out and said, "sit Razor!"
Razor was now a big Vulpimancer.
He stopped dead in his tracks.
Maxwell, "roll over!"
He rolled over on his back for a belly rub as the little Tetramand hybrid started scratching the Vulpimancer's belly.
Looma laughed at the sight.
As Ben and Looma both gazed at their kids as they did their thing, they knew they would be fine while the others were away.
….
And now, we focus on Kevin and Gwendolyn.
Kevin was currently under his car, fixing up some stuff underneath.
Nearby as Gwendolyn, reading a book as she pet Zed's head.
Cooper was there as well, sitting on the couch with Hope.
Who now had a large belly hidden under a maternity shirt.
Yep, Hope was pregnant.
And Cooper was ecstatic.
They were watching TV as Cooper muttered to Hope, "remind me to get an engagement present for Attea and Helen."
Hope, "four years together, imagine that!"
Cooper, "well, that about how long you and I have been together."
Hope, "heh, guess you're right."
Cooper, "have you thought of any names for the baby?"
Hope, "hmm, well, if it's a girl, Alisa. And for a boy's name, Caspian."
Cooper, "those sound like great names honey."
The two cuddle as we focus back on Kevin.
Kevin reached his hand out and said, "socket wrench?"
And we see little Devin hand his father the wrench he needed.
Devin looked like a tiny Kevin, but with Gwendolyn's eyes.
He wore a little blue cloak over a black shirt and grey pants.
As Kevin went back to work, Devin put his hand to the ground and began concentrating.
After a few moments, he formed a small pink ball of mana in his hand.
This was Devin's power.
With his father being an Osmosian, and his mother being an Anodite, Devins powers were that he could absorb energy from things, and form mana attacks with it.
Although at his age, he could only make little balls of mana.
And so ends our little peek at the loves of Kevin and Gwendolyn's family.
….
We see the RustBucket driving along the road as everyone settled into it.
Lumi and Zane were staring at the sights through the window.
Kivi was curled up on a bed in the back.
Percy had perched himself on top of the fridge.
Kenny was stuck being cuddled by Scalene as he looked through the fridge for something to eat.
Kenny, "why must you torment me with these cuddles?"
Scalene, "because you're so cute when you're flustered!"
Kenny just groaned as he dragged Scalene with him and his sandwich.
Kenny did like Scalene, and even thought that it may be love, but she was just too clingy at times.
Kenny needed some space sometimes.
But whenever Scalene saw him, she'd be right by his side the whole time.
And he knew that it would be like this the entire time during the roadtrip.
The rest of the trip for the next couple of hours wasn't too eventful.
And soon, as it was slowly getting dark out, Max said, "we're here!"
The kids all followed Max out of the RustBucket, and saw the small campsite.
Max, "ah, memories. I took Ben and Gwendolyn on this trip a long time ago. Seems like only yesterday.
The kids enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the place as Max started gathering wood around the place.
Max, "now, let's get a fire going!"
The kids all smiled excitedly as they ran around to grab firewood.
….
Meanwhile, we see Ben and Looma in bed together, the sheets covering their bare bodies.
Maxwell and Bridget were having a sleepover at Kevin and Gwendolyn's house.
Looma, "it's nice to have these little moments, isn't it?"
Ben, "yeah. I love the kids, but having some alone time with you is just amazing."
Looma snuggled into Ben's side.
Looma, "we should have another."
Ben, "are you trying to seduce me? Right after we made love?"
Looma looked down, cheeks flushed.
Looma, "maybe? I know I'm not as attractive as I used to b-"
Ben kissed Looma passionately.
Ben, "you couldn't be more wrong Looma. You've only grown more beautiful with age. You're still strong, fast, skilled, and are the most beautiful Tetramand I've ever seen. Never doubt how you look Looma. You could be missing three arms and two eyes, and you'd still look amazing to me."
Tears simmered in both of their eyes as they snuggled together, holding one another as sleep started to take them….
….
Back to the trip.
The kids were all roasting marshmallows over the fire.
Ben had convinced Max to pack some normal food for the trip.
He didn't want his kids living off of whatever small snacks they could find like he and Gwendolyn had done for a lot of the summer, since Max ate such strange foods.
Lumi was roasting three marshmallows on her stick.
Zane and Kenny sticker to one on theirs.
Scalene and Max were both roasting what looked like squid versions of marshmallows.
They were green, with tiny tentacles on the bottom.
Kenny and Lumi both had confused looks when they had seen the small snacks.
But, they knew how much their grandpa and the Vreedles loved strange alien foods.
So, they simply shrugged it off, and continued to make Smores as the night went on.
Their new adventure had only just begun….

Reviews:
Amanny: glad you liked it. And glad you're interested in the Avatar story.
Nathanael Card: glad you liked the chapter, and the new romance I've set up with Kenny and Scalene.
William Escobar 608:
1. Lemons aren't gonna be frequent, but we will get more moments of them being romantic soon. And in this chapter, they are now around 25.
2. Ben has made sure to keep his kids from being like him.
3. Kenny is a much more well behaved kid, so he's not gonna be that much if a trouble maker. And if Lumi and Zane are like Ben and Looma in this story, falling in love very quickly, then Kenny and Scalene are like Gwendolyn and Kevin, where it takes a while before they finally confess.
4. Nope, Scalene just really likes Kenny. Although Ma Vreedle will probably be very enthusiastic about it.
….
And so we start our next arc.
Lumi, Kenny, Zane, Kivi and Scalene are going on a RoadTrip with Grandpa Max.
Also, D-Ez now has a body!
Don't worry, as this goes on, we'll have chapters focusing on what Ben and Looma are up to, and seeing Maxwell, Bridget and Devin grow up together.
Like, every other chapter within this story arc.
During this arc, we'll have chapters that revisit older episodes of the OG show. Such as:
Dealing with a new group of Forever Knights.
The Kraken.
The kids travelling to the future.
And any other new or revisited plot lines you guys can think of to do for this story arc.
