Best Friends Forever

Hello everyone, and welcome to chapter three of Hero Core: the Core of Heroes. I know, I don't usually post as fast as DragonWarrior24 did with his story, but I have been focused on writing new stories and playing new videogames. Though, I'm sure you guys don't mind my speed on when stories come out. Let's continue where Gwen and Zach left off. Now, enjoy chapter 3.

Back in the lab, we see Gwen and Zach still in there, the former still donning her Hero Suit on her body. "This seriously looks amazing on me. I would love to train in it." Gwen said.

"Well, we still have time before we go meet Casey at the mall, so we could have a little training in it." Zach suggested. Gwen agreed, as they went to the Harmen gym to train.

Once they were in the training room, Gwen and Zach got into training stances, ready for training. After about a half hour of training, they took a shower and start heading to the mall. "Hopefully Casey isn't waiting too long." Gwen said.

"She knows we wouldn't leave her hanging." Zach said.

In Earth's orbit, the drones are almost done repairing the Chimera Wrath, as the Bioids have finished repairing the Shield Generator and the Navigation system. One Bioid approached the healing chamber of Vilgax, who was almost done healing.

"Master, the Human that bears the Omnitrix is still in the local area known as Bellwood. She just recently used it 10 minutes ago." he reported.

"It seems... that the Human is attempting to master the Omnitrix. I must have it before Panzer returns!" Hissed Vilgax, as he glared at the Bioids. "Send the drones! I want the Omnitrix, now!" He demanded.

"At once, my lord. And rest assured, these drones are perfectly upgraded to handle a single powerhouse." said the Bioid. Then the warship's hull opens up and ejects a capsule that enters the atmosphere and, once entering the atmosphere, it pops open and produces 5 drones that soar down towards Bellwood.

At Bellwood mall, Casey was waiting at the entrance, just as Gwen and Zach pulled into a parking spot.

As they were pulling in, Omni popped up. "So, this is a mall?" She asked.

"Yeah, where we have our little shopping spree." Gwen said.

"By little, she means spend as much of my money as they can" Zach deadpanned.

"It's not our fault we like buying what we want." Gwen defended.

"You two are such an odd couple." Omni said.

Gwen and Zach got out of the car and walked up to where Casey was.

"Took you two long enough to get here." Casey said, happy to finally see them.

"Sorry, C. Someone wanted a little training in before we got here." Gwen teased, as she looked up at her boyfriend.

"Hey, it's not my fault I like for us to stay in shape." Zach said in his defense.

"You never change, Z." Casey said, as she playfully punches Zach's arm.

"Now, if you two are done, let's get some shopping done!" Gwen excitedly said, as they all entered the mall.

The first store they entered was a clothing store, where there was a 60% off deal on their summer wear. Gwen founds some black jean short-shorts and a tank top in her style, so she went to try them on. When she came out, the outfit hugged her curves perfectly.

"So, how do I look?" She asked, as Casey and Zach admired how she looked.

"They look great on you, G." Zach said. "Makes you look sexy."

"Yeah, you should wear that more." Casey said, which Gwen blushed at.

"Thanks guys, but I will wear my normal clothes out." Gwen said, as she changed back to normal clothes.

The girls kept looking through the summer clothes, found some more cute clothes for themselves, which Zach had bought for them. After they bought their stuff and exited the store, they headed to the video game store to see the latest games in stock.

"Gwen, why didn't you wear that outfit from the clothes store?" Omni asked, as her hologram was in one of Gwen's pockets.

"Because I get enough attention from my body, I don't need anymore." Gwen whispered, making sure not to draw attention to herself.

"Isn't there a saying, if you got it, flaunt it?" Omni asked.

"Yeah, you're right. I guess I could flaunt my body a bit more." Gwen whispered back.

"Gwen, who are you whispering to?" Casey asked her friend.

"Oh, just talking with my grandma over the phone, asking how she was holding up with Ben." Gwen said, making sure that she didn't know about Omni or the Omnitrix.

"Oh, right. They're on their road trip. How are they doing?" Casey asked.

"Oh, they're doing really good." Gwen said, as she gave her friend a big smile.

"That's good." Casey said, as she looked at one of the games.

After the game store, the three friends had went to the jewelry store, as the two teen girls wanted to look at what they had. Gwen then noticed a silver necklace with a silver dolphin that had sapphire eyes that would look good on Casey.

"Hey, C. I found a necklace that would suit you." Gwen said, as Casey came over and looked at the necklace.

"I gotta have it!" She said, as her eyes were sparkling looking at the necklace.

The normal price for the necklace was $400, but thanks to sales, it was $150. Casey decided to give Zach a break and buy it for herself. Just as she was about to ask a woman at the counter for her purchase, she noticed a man trying to get the woman's number.

"Hey, some of us here would like to make a purchase here! Hurry it up!" Casey said.

"Beat it, kid. Go play with your dolls or something." The man said. That's when Zach walked up right behind the man.

"I believe she said, hurry up." He said, as it apparently aggravated the man.

"Listen, I said beat... it." The man said, as he had turned around to be met by Zach's muscular chest. He then looked up to see the angry face of Zach. "I guess I will leave." He said, leaving with a visible wet stain on his crotch. This made them laugh at his predicament.

"Thanks, I thought that guy would never leave." The woman working the register said. "He's been bugging me for my number. I will help you out with anything you need."

"It was no big deal." Gwen said.

"Could you help with this dolphin necklace over here please?" Casey asked, as the woman walked over and helped her with the necklace.

After Casey bought the necklace, they start wandering the mall, joking about the man that was at the jewelry store. That's when they heard glass shattering and people screaming in fear. That's when the three friends looked to see 5 drones descending from the smashed skyline and started probing around.

"Drones!" cringed Omni.

'How many of those things will be coming for Gwen?!' Zach thought.

"~~~?" The drones searched around, then one of them spotted Gwen, as it scanned for any sign of the Omnitrix signal. It couldn't find the signal, as it then searched its data banks and it confirmed that Gwen shared the synced DNA signal as the Omnitrix. "~~~~! Omnitrix!" Gurgled the drones, as they then dart towards the civilians, grabbed them with their pincers, then they extend cords that stabbed into their necks.

"AAAH! GET IT OFF!" Screamed a woman.

"LET GO!" Yelled a teenage boy.

"OW! THAT HURTS!" Growled a heavy weight man, as he pries the drone away, but they all managed to upload their systems into their genetic codes before shutting down. "What w-Arghh! UGGHH!" Screamed the man, as he clutched his chest. His skin turned a brownish-red, his hands got encased in metallic alloys and grew claws, gaining robotic optics around his eyes, orbs growing around his head and shoulders, and his body mass increase twofold. The four other civilians underwent the same mutations.

"Oh my God!" Gasped Casey.

"What did they do to those people?!" Growled Gwen.

"They look like hybrids of sorts!" Zach said.

"GRRRRAAAAAAAAHH!" Screamed the hybrids, as they extend the orbs out of their shoulders and start firing energy bullets at random targets, be it people or objects.

"RUN!/ THEY TURNED INTO MONSTERS/ SAVE US!" Screamed the people in the mall, as they start retreating. Gwen, Casey and Zach were getting caught up in the stampede and being seperated.

"Oof! Hey, watch it!" Cried Casey. Zach decided to grab Casey and put her on his shoulders, as his size already made him taller than everyone running past them. "Thanks. Z." She thanked.

"Anytime. Now, let's get outside. It isn't safe here." Zach said, as he left with Casey on his shoulders.

"Wait, what about Gwen?" Casey asked, as she noticed they got separated from them.

"She'll be fine, I promise. We can find her when this is all over." Zach said. The one thing he knew that Casey didn't was that Gwen was the only one who could try to beat these hybrids.

Sirens were then heard, as squads of policemen charged into the mall with a few small groups of the SWAT team, as they confront the hybrids.

"Alright, put your guns down, and your hands in the air!" Ordered Sam.

"~~~~~?!" Asked the hybrid in confusion, as they then start firing lasers at the officers. The officers evaded and the stores that were behind them got blown apart.

"Open fire!" Ordered Sally, as they all start firing their pistols, shotguns and assault rifles, but the hybrids resisted the bullets and pellets without hindering their approach.

The hybrid teen grabbed a lamp post, ripping it from the ground and clubbed the SWAT team aside, while the hybrid woman grabbed Sam and a police man, as she then threw them against the wall, subduing them with her sheer strength and power.

"What are they made of!?" Asked the SWAT captain, as he fired his shotgun. The shot bounced off the armor, as the hybrid slashed the gun apart, then swung his claws. The SWAT captain evaded it and used his taser gun on him, but it overloaded and backfired, as the hybrid's bio-electric aura was too strong.

"~~~!" The hybrid said, as he grabbed the SWAT captain and started choking him. The crowd continues rushing towards the exit and Gwen gets shoved around.

"Oof! Watch it! Hey, look where you're going! Casey, Zach, where are you?!" Cried Gwen.

"Gwen, Zach and Casey are outside with the other people. Now is a good time to hide and suit up!" Said Omni.

"Got it!" Gwen shoved her way through the crowd and managed to sneak into a Subway food place.

She noticed everyone is gone, so she activated the Omnitrix and suited up in her Omni-Suit. She then pressed the core down, transforming in an embodiment of green energy.

The Omnitrix sank into her wrist, as her veins bulge out all the way to her eye. Green fur grew all over her body, as her fingers merged into three fingers on her hands. She had grew a little bit taller, as her boobs got bigger, while her ass grew to the size of a ghetto booty. She grew skunk ears, gained a skunk muzzle and grew a big, bushy skunk tail. Her clothes turned into a one-piece swimsuit-like armor, as the thong design was prominent on her ass. The Omnitrix symbol was situated right on top of her big boobs.

"Stinkbomb!" She announced her name.

"Why are you shouting out your name?" Omni asked.

"To let everyone know what alien I become." Stinkbomb shrugged, as she then sprints out of the store and heads into the battlefield where the police officers are retreating with wounds and the SWAT team was getting pummeled and lost half of their weapons.

"S-Stay away!" Begged a SWAT member.

"~~~!" Hissed the hybrid, then she got kicked across the cheek and crashed into the store. The hybrids ceased their attack, as they stare at their downed comrade, then to their enemy.

"Hey, doesn't your boss ever get tired of tracking me down?" Asked Stinkbomb, as she cracked her furry knuckles. "And using innocent people to do your dirty work is a big no-no!" She frowned, as her fluffy tail swayed furiously back and fourth.

"T-The skunk woman!?" Gasped Sally.

"Omnitrix!" Screeched the hybrids, as they charged towards Stinkbomb. She aimed her big butt at the hybrids and blasts a powerful fart towards them, as the powerful winds blow them back.

However, the hybrids dug their claws in the floor to stop themselves from going back any further. Then, the hybrid man swung his claws at Stinkbomb, who dodged the claw and kicked the hybrid in the balls.

Meanwhile, back outside, Zach was searching for a way to go back in. He then found a door not guarded by cops. He then looked to his friend.

"Casey, you stay here to see if Gwen comes back. I'm gonna go and see where she could be." Zach said, as he ran off.

"Wait, won't you get hurt?!" Casey asked, concerned for her friend.

"I will be fine. Just wait for Gwen if she comes." Zach said.

Once he reached the doors, Zach went inside. He was racing to Gwen, then stopped at a store that had a mannequin wearing a Luchador outfit, which made him have an idea.

"That could work." He said to himself, as he went into the store.

Back at the fight, we see Stinkbomb still fighting off the hybrids. "Mustn't hurt them too badly, they're still innocent people." She said, as she did a handstand and caught the hybrid's claw with her legs and threw her to a wall.

The hybrid teen then pinned her down and starts slashing her body slowly apart. Suddenly, a big, furry fist with a claw coming from atop of the wrist punched the Hybrid teen into the wall. Stinkbomb had a surprised look on her face, as she looked in the direction where the fist came from. What stood in front of her eyes was what looked like a very muscular humanoid tiger with two wrist claws, one coming out of each wrist, and he was wearing a Luchador outfit.

"You picked the wrong fight, you creepy robot-looking things!" Said the man-tiger.

"Who the heck is that?!" Stinkbomb asked aloud.

"Gwe- Stinkbomb, I'm apparently picking up some Appoplexian DNA from the being wearing the Luchador costume." Omni said.

"Appo-what?" Stinkbomb asked, confused.

"Appoplexians are a race of tiger-like aliens hailing from the planet Appoplexia. They are very strong, durable and have a sharp claw coming out from the top of their wrists. Also, they're prone to get angered instantly and really love fighting." Omni explained.

"Wait, if they're from Appoplexia, then why is there one here?" Stinkbomb asked.

"I don't know. Your guess is as good as mine." Omni said.

"Hey, El Tigre. Wanna help me take these drones out?" Stinkomb asked.

"First off, the name's Fury, not El Tigre! And second, FURY'S READY FOR A BEATDOWN!" The Appoplexian, now named Fury, exclaimed.

"Just don't hurt them too badly. They are made with innocent civilians." Stinkbomb said.

"Now there's a tiger man in a luchador costume!? How many of them are there?!" Sam exclaimed

"I don't know, but hold your fire." Sally said, to both Sam and the other officers.

Back at the fight, both Stinkbomb and Fury were trying to fight the hybrids, while trying not to do much damage to them. "Nothing we do seems to be working." Stinkbomb said.

"THEN USE YOUR FARTS TO SHORT CIRCUIT THEM!" Fury yelled, as a hybrid tried grabbing him by the shoulder and he flipped him on his back. This gave Stinkbomb an idea with a smirk.

"Stinkbomb, what are you thinking?" Omni asked, as she knows that smirk Stinkbomb had.

"Oh, just Fury giving me an amazing idea." Stinkbomb said, as she jumped over one of the hybrids and jumped onto one of the mall's kiosks. "Hey, bots! Over here!" She yelled, as she turned her big butt to them and shook it. The hybrids looked in her direction and rushed to her.

Once she saw the hybrids coming to her, Stinkbomb grunts and lets out a fart so smelly and powerful, a big green gas cloud could be seen from outside the mall. From outside, it looked like it covered the whole inside of the mall. After Stinkbomb let out that fart, the hybrids started short circuiting and the robot parts fell from the civilians, as they all had cofused looks.

"W-What happened?" Asked the teenager.

"Who trashed my clothes?" Asked the woman, as she noticed her ruined dress.

"What's that smell?!" asked the heavyweight man, covering his nose from the fart smell.

"Yes, victory for Stinkbomb and Fury!" Stinkbomb cheered, as Fury walked next to her and gave her a high-five.

"FREEZE!" Ordered Sam and the other officers, as they aimed their weapons at them.

Are you kidding me?" asked Stinkbomb. She pressed the Omnitrix symbol and changed back to her human form, donning her Omni Suit.

"What the?!" Exclaimed the SWAT team.

"Are you kidding me!? All the aliens we've been seeing was a sexy space woman?!" Baffled Sam.

'It's a good thing they don't really know who's under the mask.' Hero Core thought. "Actually, I'm not a space woman. Okay? I'm-" Before she could continue, an officer shot her shoulder, but the bullet bounced off her Omni Suit and repaired the dent instantly.

"You are so lucky that I wore billet-proof armor. What the hell is wrong with you?!" Hero Core yelled.

"Geez, these cops are trigger happy to heroes that save their lives." Omni said.

"Just don't move and keep your hands in the air!" Sam ordered.

"I just saved the lives of 3 innocent people! What more proof do you want that I am a good person?!" asked Hero Core.

"HEY, I HELPED!" Fury yelled.

What are you hiding in those masks?!" Sam asked, as Hero Core opened her visor enough to where only her emerald green eyes were visible.

"...That's a stupid question." Hero Core said, as she gave an 'Are you serious' face.

"Could we at least have your names?" Sally asked.

"I'm Hero Core, and this is Fury. He's... new to the scene." Hero Core answered.

"Alright. Also, why does your suit have a thong design?" Sally asked, which Hero Core gave a seductive look and showed Sally her big butt.

"Be honest, it makes my butt look bigger, doesn't it~?" Hero Core said, winking at the police caption.

"Verdona said the same thing." Sally muttered.

'Taking things a bit too far, aren't you?' Fury thought, taking a sideways glance at Hero Core's big ass.

"Now you're hitting on our captain?" Sam asked.

"I was only asking for an honest opinion, Mr. Trigger Happy." scoffed Hero Core, as the Omnitrix gave a confirmation beep. "Oh, look at the time." She said, as she pressed the core down and blinded them with a green light. Once they regain their bearings, Hero Core had become Firefly, as she spreads her wings and flew off into the sky. Fury had fled when the bright light flashed.

"FREEZE!" Sam yelled, as he started shooting in Firefly's direction, which she flew through the broken skylight. "DAMMIT!" Sam yelled.

"Will you cool off, Billions? She just saved the lives of innocent civilians from those drones." Sally said.

"You saw it, Sally! She can turn into different fucking aliens!" yelled Sam.

"Look, if she were the enemy, why did she save us?" Sally asked, which Sam was taken aback and dumbfounded.

"Forget about the girl, these people need some medical check-ups." One of the SWAT team members said.

We're outside now, as everyone was informed by the police that the crisis has been adverted. Casey was searching among the crowd for her two friends.

"Gwen? Zach? Where are you two?" yelled Casey, as someone then tapped her on the shoulder. "EEEP!" She squeaked, as she jumped away from the owned, as she turned around and saw it was Gwen with Zachery.

"Someone's a bit jumpy." Gwen said

"Can you blame me! I was worried about you two. What took you so long, Z?" Casey asked.

"I had to run all the way to the other side of the mall just to find Gwen, that's why I took so long." Zach said, as he knew he had to lie to her to hide Gwen's secret identity.

"Yeah, I was on the other side of the mall looking for you both, when Z came and found me." said Gwen.

"Well, as long as you two are safe, I'm happy." Casey said, then added. "Also, my mom and dad are going to make dinner and want to invite both of you to come."

"That sounds great!" exclaimed Gwen.

"But first, we will take the merchandise she bought home and get ready." Zach said, as he and Gwen said goodbye to Casey and went home.

Back on the Chimera Wrath...

"FAILURE?!" exclaimed Vilgax in anger, as he then started having a stroke. The Bioids quickly re-stabilized the life-support system and injected some serum that minimized the pain."...ack... *hff* This human...if it is a tennyson...will regret keeping the Omnitrix from me!" growled Vilgax in rage.

The sun began to set slowly and the sky began to fill with beautiful stars, as Bellwood began to shine its city lights. The camera switched to the inner section of Bellwood, as we see Zach and Gwen in their car, driving to Casey's house for dinner. They were looking a bit dressed up for the occasion.

Gwen was wearing a nice blouse that was two shades of blue, dark blue on the shoulders and sky blue everywhere else. She was also wearing black jeans with diamond studs going across the seams and had on her signature shoes on. She also had her hair done nicely and was wearing some lip gloss.

Zach was wearing a simple orange dress shirt, black dress pants and dress shoes. He also had his hair combed back and was wearing some cologne that Gwen loved on him.

Omni was sitting on the center concole between the two, as she checked the digital clock.

"Dinner starts at 7:30. Aren't we a bit too early?" She asked.

"It doesn't hurt to be formally early." Zach said.

"Yeah. Plus, I gotta make sure I'm not too gassy around the Animal's." said Gwen, as she blasted a 10 second blast from her big butt.

"Nice one. Guess I'm starting to get used to your gassy outbursts." Omni said.

"Thanks, Omni. Being Stinkbomb during the whole fight has made me so gassy all day." Gwen said.

"Guess that's the perks from being a Skunkian. It's pretty good that I have an immunity to bad smells, like your farts, G." Zach said.

"How did you get your immunity, Zach?" asked Omni, curious.

"You see, I have 4 very gassy cousins. Growing up, they would always be blasting their farts around me, sometimes even on me. I guess you could say, growing up around them made me gain an immunity around anyone who farts, which is one of the reasons I became friends with and started dating Gwen." Zach said.

"I see, very intriguing." Omni said, interested that he has that special immunity and stored it away in her data banks.

They then reached a small neighborhood, as they pulled up to a very familiar house. It was an ordinary two-story house, but they knew it all too well. Omni had went back into the Omnitrix, as both Gwen and Zach got out and started walking to the front door.

Once at the door, Gwen knocked on the door and Casey answered the door. "Awesome, you two made it!" She exclaimed. She was wearing a tiger-themed shirt, tan khaki's and an alligator tooth necklace.

"Gwen, Zachery. It's good to see you two again." Came the voice of Mr. Animal. He was a middle-aged man with brown eyes and had short, brown shaggy hair that had some grey streaks going through it.

"It's good to see you too, Larry." said Gwen.

"Hello Mr. Animal." Zach said.

"Oh Zach, so formal. I told you that you can call me Larry. I feel like you keep getting taller every time I see you." Larry said.

"Dinner's just about ready, hopefully everyone's hungry." came the voice of Mrs. Animal. She had stepped into the doorway, as she was a middle-aged woman with golden-brunette hair that was tied in a ponytail. She also has some grey going through her hair, but it was a bit hard to notice. "It's good to see you two lovebirds again." She said to Zach and Gwen.

"It's good to see you again, Susan." Gwen said, giving a hug to Susan, who hugged her right back.

Shortly after, dinner was done and there was a big buffet of food for everyone to enjoy. There was steak, turkey, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, both cooked and raw vegitables and for dessert, cheesecake.

"So, aside from hanging out with Casey at the mall today, how have you two been enjoying your summer so far?" Susan asked, as she poured some gravy on some of her mashed potatoes.

"Well, on our first week, we had went on a roadtrip with my grandma and cousin." Gwen said, cutting up a piece of her steak.

"Right, Casey told us about that. How did that go?" Larry asked.

"It was pretty fun. We got to travel to quite a few places before coming back here." Gwen said.

"And what about your grandmother and cousin?" Susan asked.

"They went back on the road after dropping us off."said Gwen.

"At least they get to continue their adventure." Larry said, eating a bite of steak.

"Anyway, I heard the mall was attacked on the news while you three were there. What happened?" Susan asked.

"Well, those drones we've been hearing about on the news came out of nowhere and merged themselves with humans." said Gwen.

"Oh my goodness, were they hurt?" Susan asked.

"They had just a few scratches from the drones. Plus, I heard that a Sexy Space Woman that can transform into multiple aliens helped save them, along with some humanoid tiger guy in a luchador costume." Casey said.

"That's what I heard from the news." Zach said, taking a bite from a turkey leg.

"These robots are very strange. They pop out of nowhere and immediately wreck havoc. Some of the staff theorize that they might be secret robotic invasions of the Russians or Japanese, but the metal and parts of the drones were way beyond any known technology on earth. Strangely enough, it took an entire 7 rounds of 5 shotguns to shoot one down, as these...aliens as people call them penetrate their armor so easily." explained Larry.

"Well, I think those 'aliens' are the real threat around here. A minotaur woman, a walking fireball, a large whale-like woman, a giant firefly and a smelly skunk? I think the police should focus on hunting them down." Susan said, as she held out her fork.

Gwen could't believe what she was hearing and slammed her fists on the table, quaking the table a bit and startling the Animals.

"How can you say that!? Those drones were destroying city blocks and these aliens were saving us! The police couldn't even stop them!" argued Gwen, as the Animal's gazed at her, confused of her outburst.

"Gwen, I know your upset, but you need to calm down. You're making a scene." Zach whispered in her ear, as he put a hand on her shoulder. That's when Gwen saw the gazes of the Animals and calmed her nerves.

"Do you two know anything about them?" Larry asked, with worry.

"Larry, for this past week, Gwen and I have seen this alien girl take down these drones and save hundreds of people. If you ask me, what makes a hero isn't who you are or what planet you're from, it's the lives you save from danger that comes. I think that's why Gwen feels so strongly about the Space Girl being a hero." explained Zach to the Animals.

"Is it true, Gwen? Is that how you truly feel?" Susan asked, still unsure about the whole alien thing.

"Y-Yeah, it is. After seeing her defend the campground Zach and I stayed with my grandma, I knew she would be a hero who saves people from whoever, or whatever, is sending those drones to Earth." said Gwen, as she and Zach were the only two in the room who knew her secret.

"I don't know. I'm still a bit sceptical about her. Are you sure she can be completely trusted?" Susan asked.

"Mom, if it wasn't for her to be there at the mall, you'd lose me to those robots that took over some of the people there." Casey said, trying to prove a point.

"She has a point, dear." Larry said, seeing the point.

"Maybe, but what if she sent the robots and then took them down, just to make her look like a hero?" Susan asked.

"That's also a good point." Larry said, agreeing with his wife. That's when Gwen had enough, as she put her napkin on the table and got up.

"I'm leaving. Dinner was great, thanks for having me here." Gwen said, as she left out the front door. That's when Zach also got up.

"I'm sorry about that, she really gets into superheroes. Thank you for dinner." he said, as he was heading to the door, when Casey grabbed his wrist.

"I'm coming with you to comfort her." She said. Zach would've protested, but knew it would be of no use. He nodded, as the headed out the door, leaving Larry and Susan at the table, dumbfounded at what happened.

Once outside, they didn't see Gwen in the car. "Where is she?" Cassey asked, as they didn't know where Gwen went.

"There's one place she could've gone that is close by. Let's go." zach said, as they both got in the car and drove off.

After a few minutes of driving, they parked in front of another house, this one belonged to Gwen's parents. They got out and went to the backyard and found Natalie and Frank talking to someone inside a treehouse that was made for Gwen and Cassey when they were younger. That's when Zach and Casey walked up to them.

Frank was a middle-aged man with brown hair and wears glasses. He's of average physique, as he wears a smart polo shirt with a burgandy sweatshirt covering it and tan trousers.

Natalie looks a lot like Gwen, as she has red hair and similar face, though she's middle-aged like her husband. She is curvy, but not as much as her daughter or mother-in-law. She wears a white blouse with a green vest, a grey skirt and grey high heels. She's also wearing golden earrings and a necklace with a golden buckle.

"Natalie, Frank. What's going on?" Zach asked.

"Oh Zach, thank goodness. We heard noise coming from back here, and when we took a look, Gwen went into the treehouse in an upset mood." Natalie explined, worried about her daughter.

"What happened to make her this upset?" asked Frank.

"Long story short, we were talking about the space girl during dinner at my house and my parents were saying she was an invader, as it made Gwen upset." Casey said.

"Wait, the Space Girl that was saving us from those robots?" Natalie asked.

"Yeah, Gwen was defending her in being a hero." Zach said.

"That sounds like her." Frank said, then looked at Zach. "I'm guessing you two are going up to comfort her?" He asked, which Zach nodded.

"Yeah, you two can head inside and leave it to us." Zach said, placing a hand on Natalie's shoulder.

"Thank you, Zachery. Gwen is lucky to have you as her boyfriend, and Casey as her bestfriend." Natalie said, placing her hand on Zach's. She and Frank head inside, leaving things to the two teens.

Zach and Casey went up to the treehouse to comfort Gwen, though it was a bit tough for the big teen to get throgh the treehouse door because of his height.

"Hey guys." Gwen sadly said, as she was sitting against one of the wall with her knees to her chest. Zach and Casey came and sat on either side of her, as Zach held her close to him and Casey placed a hand on her thigh.

"Gwen, it's alright. My parent's might not see what you see, but we do." Casey said, comforting her friend.

"Yeah, we will always be on your side." Zach agreed, giving Gwen a good side hug.

"Thanks, guys." Gwen said, as it cheered her up a bit.

"Gwen, I have a question for you. Are you the Space girl?" Casey asked, which caught both Gwen and Zach off guard.

'Wait, how does she know about that?' Omni thought, as the question caught her off guard too.

"W-What are you talking about?" Gwen stammered, trying to avoid the question.

"Y-Yeah, why would you think Gwen's-" Before Zach could finish, Casey interrupted him.

"C'mon, I'm your friend. You wouldn't think I'd not notice Gwen's watch has the same symbol as the aliens that saved us?" Casey asked.

"W-well... Y-yes, I am the space girl. But, I go by the name Hero Core." Gwen said, as she had to tell her best friend the truth.

"Cool! Can I have one too?" Asked Casey, intrigued by Gwen's powers. This shocked Gwen and Zach.

"What?!" They both asked.

"I mean, if you need my help, then I could help you out." Casey said excitedly.

"You know what? I actually like the idea of you helping against the drones." Gwen said. That's when she pressed a button on the Omnitrix and it turned into its true form. Omni then appeared before Gwen.

"Gwendolyn, have you lost your marbles?! How could you reveal the Omnitrix to her?!" snapped Omni.

"Whoa, a fully sentiant AI!" said Casey, in awe.

"Omni, I can't lie to Casey. We've known each other since we were 5. Plus, she figured it out herself." admitted Gwen.

"She's right on all accounts there." Zach agreed.

"Alright. Anyway, I'm Omni the Omnimatrix. It's nice to meet you, Ms. Animal." Omni greeted to Casey.

"Likewise, Omni. Is Omnimatrix the name of the watch?" asked Casey.

"That's right. If you wanna know more, we can go back to our place. It would be safer to explain more." Gwen said.

"Sure, but mind if we stop by my place first? There's something I would like to grab." Casey said.

"Sure." Gwen said, as they all got out of the treehouse. Gwen apologized to her parents about worrying them, which they were happy she was better. The three teens got in Zach's car, as the drove to Casey's house, which she went in and came back out a minute later with a box. That's when they then went to Zach and Gwen's place.

Once there, the three teens went inside. Casey then placed the box on the table, which the other two were curious about. "What's in the box, Casey?" asked Gwen.

"Oh, just some blood from various animals. If I am going to help, I will need a device like yours to transform me into them." Casey said, then added. "Also, I grabbed some chips."

"What kind of chips?" asked Gwen.

Casey opened up the box and took out a big bag of tofu chips. "Hope you like tofu." said Casey.

"Why did you bring tofu? You know what it does to my stomach." Gwen said.

"What's wrong with tofu?" Omni asked, curious.

"Soy products, like tofu, upsets Gwen's stomach, making her fart nonstop all day." Zach explaind to the AI.

"Yeah, I once cleared out the whole school once when we were kids in grade school, and it was on tofu day." Gwen explained.

"They had to say it was a gas leak from a pipe." Zach chimed in. This made Omni laugh.

"I bet that made you embarrassed!" She said between laughs.

"Yeah, but growing up made me appriciate my gas even more. Plus, my grandma was a big help in that department too." Gwen admitted.

"Here G, have one." Casey said, handing Gwen the open bag of chips.

"I have a better idea, C." Gwen said, as she then slapped both her big but cheeks with both her hands. What happened next was what the trio knew too much about. Gwen's gut then began churning and bloating with gas, as it made her look a few months pregnant. What came next was what everyone in the room was expecting to happen.

*BBBBBRRRRRROOOOOOORRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPTTTTTTTTPTPTPTPT!*

Gwen had released a huge 30 second blast, as the smell had filled up the room around them. This was something new Omni didn't know about Gwen.

"Interresting! Scans show that your butt is pretty sensitive and fills you up with your gas. How peculiar." Omni said, intrigued.

"Yeah, I've had little problem with me since I was little." Gwen said.

"Same Gwen." Zach said.

"Are we just gonna stay here talking, or are we going to make me a watch!" Casey said, as she was pulling on Gwen's hands.

"Okay, okay. I'm coming." said Gwen. Omni decided to hold back to speak with Zach.

"Do you have a bad feeling about all of this?" she asked him.

"Yeah. As much as I love Casey as a friend, I don't quite think she's ready for an Omnitrix of her own." Zach admitted to the AI.

"Exactly! You're quite wise and responsible about alien tech." Omni told him.

"Well, being a kid of Plumbers, I know a lot about these things." Zach said. That's when Gwen yelled to Zach from her lab.

"Babe, could you bring the blood in here!" She yelled.

"Coming!" He yelled back, picking up the box of blood. Omni hopped on his shoulder, as he looked at her. "Though, with Gwen, it's hard for her to say no to her best friend."

Once Zach reached Gwen's lab, Casey ran over and grabbed the box from him, excited about fighting crime with her BFF. She then placed the blood on the table.

Gwen had some spare robot parts from the drones she fought for a week straight, so she could make a watch for Casey. "I have everything for this, but how will I keep the watch together?" She asked.

"Well, on the way here, I took the liberty to adding a new alien to your arsenal. I believe she would help out pretty well" Omni said, as she then added. "Plus, I have a blueprint of the Omnitrix. Also, I want to point out that I'm not 100% on board with this."

"Why not Omni?" asked Gwen, looking at the AI.

"I don't think she's worthy of an Omnitrix." Omni said. "What if she misuses it? Or one of the transformations take over?"

"Omni, you worry too much. I'll help Casey have control over her watch and help use her transformations." Gwen told the AI. She then dialed the Omnitrix until she was set on a familiar silhoette of a familiar alien. Omni went back into the watch, as Gwen pressed down on the dial.

The Omnitrix sank into her wrist, as her hands turned into big, four-fingered grey hands. We see her outfit change to a one piece jumpsuit that covered everything but her hands, feet and head, as the camera did a quick 360 to show the Omnitrix symbol on her back. Her head became big and frog-like and turned grey, as her her eyes turned green with minus signs in them and her hair slicked back. The last thing to change for Gwen was she shrank down to 4 inches, as she's now Intelifibian.

*Now, let's get this started.* Intelifibian said through her telepathy, as she gets started. She starts gathering several parts and starts joining them together, re-arranging their functions and crossing wires to alternate their functions.

"Gwen, how does it feel becoming an alien?" Casey asked her friend.

*Well, despite havingmy DNA changed and merged with another DNA, thus causing my entire body and anatomy to metamorphically turn into an alien, I still feel like my human self, but also feel like someone else.* Explained Intelifibian.

"There's something I should mention. The DNA might be a sample, but there's a 25-45% possibility that the DNA will greatly alter the User's personality to match the personality of the doner. For example, Firefly acts very generous and polite because the doner of the DNA is the queen of Pyrolampus. This is why there should be a limiter, otherwise the DNA will take over." Omni said.

*R-Really?" Intelifibian asked.

"Yes, but if you master the alien forms both mentally and physically, you won't hace to worry about being taken over by the DNA." Omni reassured Intelifibian.

"Phew, that's good to hear." Casey said with relief.

Thanks to Intelifibian's brain, she was able to construct the band and the Core Matrix. Omni then did her part by installing her nanomachines and the Codon Energy to power and activate the functions and parts to 100%.

*Okay, Omni. Turn me into this alien you were talking about.* Intelifibian said, as Omni oblidged. A bright flash of green light appeared then faded soon after.

Gwen now looked like humanoid alien with a body coated with a black metallic symbiotic alloy that also had a blue tint, light blue torso and neon blue digital stripes on the black part. She had no nose or mouth, just a singular ring-like eye. Her boobs grew to F-cups, had slightly wider hips and a slightly bigger butt. The Omnitrix symbol was on her chest.

"Whoa, what alien is this?" Gwen asked, as her voice sounded computerized.

"That's a Galvanic Mechamorph. They hail from Galvan Prime's moon, Galvan B. They are a techno-organic species with a gel-like body composed of small cell-like creatures called nanites." Zach explained, leaving everyone looking at him dumbfounded.

"How do you know that?" Casey asked.

"Well, since you know Gwen's secret, you should know about my parents. My parents are PLUMBERS, Intergalactic police officers and they taught me about every alien in this galaxy." Zach said.

"Well, if your so smart, could you tell me how she works?" Gwen asked, folding her gelatinous arms.

"From what my parents told me, Mechamorphs can merge their bodies with any technology and 'upgrade' them, making them look more advanced. Also, they could fire lasers from the singular ring-like eye on their face." Zach said. "Heck, if you had this form while we were at the mall, you could've used her to undo the merge between those people and the drones."

"Why didn't I think about giving you the Mechamorph during that!" Omni said, mentally slapping herself on the forehead.

"Well, mistakes were made, let's not dwell on the past. Let's get this done." Gwen said, as she used a hand to mold around the device, merging and enhancing/evolving the parts to extraterrestrial levels. She then removed the bond, revealing the new Omnitrix.

Unlike the original, this Omnitrix resembled a common bracelet with a flexible, technological band colored maroon and garnet. Like the Omnitrix, it has buttons around the dial and the activation button, but the dial is hexagon shaped and the faceplate has an "X" faceplate. Due to the drone parts added into the mix, along with other core unit parts, the Omnitrix took the orange coloring instead of green.

"Presto!" Gwen said, as she pressed the Omnitrix symbol and changed back to herself. "Also, I'm going to name that form Upgrade for now." She said.

"Now, for the DNA samples." Gwen said, as Casey brought over the samples. Omni then came out of the watch.

"Please, let me handle the installation of DNA samples. Just tell me which samples I should amalgamate. Only 2 or 3 per form." the AI said.

"Okay, the first slot... Black Mamba, monitor lizard and crocodile." Casey said, as Omni activates the new Omnitrix's Core Matrix, opening the faceplate and she manipulated the DNA samples out of the viles, blended them together correctly and cautiously until they successfully blend and the embryos are stabilized. She then poured it into the faceplate's core and the Omnitrix successfully downloaded and stored the first DNA vail in its system.

"Next." Omni said.

"Golden eagle, hawk and roadrunner." Casey said, as Omni repeated the process. "Bull, rhino and elephant. Wasp, bee and termite. Um... Orca, great white shark and piranha. Jackal, wolf and bear. Bat, ram and rat. Newt, frog and salamander. Python, boa and cobra. And black widow and mantis."

Casey named each combination sample, as Omni successfully stored 10 amagamated DNA samples into the new Omnitrix.

"You know. With these DNA samples, I propose to name this new Omnitrix, Xenomorphic Omnitrix." Omni said, proudly.

"Xenotrix?" Both Gwen and Zach asked.

"Its got a good ring to it. Can I have it?" Casey asked.

"Just hold your hand over it and it'll sense your DNA signal. But remember, it's still in it's experamental stage, so the AI is not activated and the Limiter is offline." warned Omni.

Casey nervously held her left hand over the Xenotrix, as it then sensed her DNA. It unstrapped itself, jumped up and clamped onto her left wrist, then it made a confirmation beep that it mergeed its DNA with Casey's.

"Whoa! Hahaha! This is awesome!" Casey excitedly said with a laugh.

"You're taking this better than Gwen. She almost panicked when she first started wearing me." Omni stated.

"Hey!" Gwen pouted. That's when she then looked to Casey. "Casey, the Xenotrix needs some field tests, so come back tomorrow so we train in Zach's gym. So, until tomorrow, don't activate the Xenotrix." she warned her friend.

"You can count on me, Gwen! Bye~!" Casey said, as she left the lab and Zach's house entirely. His house wasn't far from her neighborhood. On her way, she excitedly held up the Xenotrix and stroked it gently.

"Finally, I can be something special and won't be in Gwen's shadow. I have the coolest friend ever!" Casey said, as she hugged her wrist. She was now about a block from her house, as she dashed for it, only to run into Simone and her minions.

"Hey, Animal Freak! What are you doing out so late? Gonna howl at the moon?" Simone grinned.

"S-Simone?!" Casey gasped. Simone then dropped the smile and gave her a cold glare.

"You still haven't told her, have you? The reason why I torment you?" Simone frowned.

"T-That you're jealous of me always being with Gwen?" Casey asked.

"Close, but no. You're too obsessed with animals, Cassidy. Extremely obsessed! You may state that you just want to protect them, but it sounds like you're insane! You've been protesting animal rights behind her back and even remotely sabotage most equipment for hunting and research. Wasn't your uncle the head zoologist?" Simone asked.

"You just don't understand! We're killing all the animals! Half are even extinct! It isn't right!" Casey yelled, but Simone grabbed her collar and glared at her.

"But your protests and actions are misguided! Some animals had to be put down because they're dangerous! And you gave serious economic problems to the Amazon and Africa! We even heard you're helping some animal lovers... who are using you." Simone said.

"L-LIar!" Caset slapped Simone and broke free, but Angelica and Sabina grabber her in a half Nelson. "Lemme go! Casey cried.

"I'm sorry, Cassidy. We're gonna break you until you give up your stupid fetish! And this time, my darlig Gwendolyn is not here to interfere with us!" Simone said, as she gave a direct knee to to Casey's stomach.

"Blaaargh!" Casey gasped, as she coughed up some saliva. They then pushed her against a tree, hurting her arm.

Casey moaned in pain, as her eyes shed tears. Simone then snapped her fingers and Angelica slapped her cheek, as Sabinayanked her hair and threw her on the grass. They then began to kick her ruthlessly and mercilessly.

"Not so tough, eh?" Angelica asked.

"You should't trust everyone online!" Sabina scolded.

"Stop it! Leave me alone!" Casey pleaded, as she started crying. Simone then stepped forward.

"Just give it up, Animal." Simone said.

"N-No..." Casey moaned.

"Don't make me do this, Animal. I'm not like them. Just give. It. Up!" Simone demanded.

"NO!" Casey shouted, as she headbutted Simone. Simone yelped, then grabbed Casey's throat, and shoved her aside. Casey then tripped on a rock and bashed herself against a boulder.

She collapsed on the ground and began whimpering in pain. She opend her eyes and let out a downpour of tear, as she then noticed the Xenotrix on her wrist. Her eyebrows arched down exhaggeratly, as her eyes began to burn with rage and hatred

"Grrr..." Casey growled.

"Say I quit, Animal Freak! Don't force me to do something worse and don't expect Gwendolyn to always be there to protect you! Do it! Say I give!" Simone yelled.

Casey held her Xenotrix in and, by recalling how Gwen activates her Omnitrix, she pressed the button and the core pops up. The "X" opens widely and displayed the silhouette icon of a humanoid lizard with the lower anatomy of a then held her hand over the core and pressed it down, releasing a flash of orange light.

"Ugh! What was that light!?" Simone asked, as she and her minions got blinded a bit, then the light faded. Nothing happened... yet.

"I-It...didn't...work?" Casey muttered in horror and disbelief. The Xenotrix's interface then changed into a big circle shape before sinking into her arm, causing inflation before orange veins grew visible throughout her arm, some gore showing out to the surface. It then gave a painful spark that traveled up to her brain. "Gah!" she yelped.

"Animal, what was that? Animal!" Simone yelled.

Suddenly, breaking the silence of the night, they heard heavy, disturbing heart beats echoing through their ears. Casey was hyperventilating, as her chest pulsed abnormally and her eyes became as dead as night.

"Casey, I'm talking to-" Simone darts back, as Casey's tailbone bursts out of her rear. It was covered in blood, as Casey screamed in pain, as it then grew to the length of a crocodile's tail as multiple cellular appendages spawn and wrapped around it before molding into a crocodillian/serpent tail.

"Oh my god!" Cried Sabina.

"Is that a tail?!" Angelica asked. The heartbeat drummed louder and louder, as Casey turned and gave a sad look to the girls.

"This...is...beautiful..." She panted, as her eyes shriveled to slits and glowed amber. Her eyebrows arched down into a devilish glare and she widens her lips, as her teath grinned hard, foamong saliva. "Aarggh... GRAAAAAAAHH!" she screamed, as her shoulders gore out giant bladed horns. Then her body spawned multiple spikes, as she collapsed on the ground.

"Ah... Ah..." Simone gasped, as she took several steps back.

Casey's body buffed up and grew abnormally into a hunchback-like state before growing dorsal plates, tearing he clothes apart to reveal her massive, muscular builds before it got encased in scales, save for her shoulders that got instantly chipped apart. She held out her arm as it expands, becoming a Black Mamba before her hand stopped it from forming a head by puching the ground.

She struggled to control it and her head, now tiny compared to her massive body, began to suffer terrible pain and gained large, pulsing veins. It slowly began cricking her jaws, extending their length and her hair began to dissolve.

"Grr...Aarrggh...GRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGOOOOWWWWW!" Casey roared in a reverberating voice, as Simone and her minions began to back away further with dreaded fear in thei faces and their temples turned dead blue with cold sweats flowing down their sides.

Casey continues mutating until she became a towering beast and remained silhouetted by the darkness of the night, as her eyes glowed in a demonic, orange glow.

"Grrr hiissss... Quit? Never! And do I need Gwen to save me now? No...I DON 'T NEED HER ANYMORE!" Casey snarled in a feminine, growling voice.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The girls screamed in complete horror, as the beast let out a roar and lunged her jaws at them.

Okay, I think I will stop there, as this chapter is pretty long. Its been almost two whole years since I updated this story. As I explained before the chaper started, the reason I didn't update for that long is because of other stories and videogames. Also, another reason is because I had to think of new lines for this chapter, so there's that. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter.

I will be taking a break from this story, like my Monster High story. I will post chapter 2 for my MHA story soon, and I am redoing my RWBY story, as I really did't like how the first chapeter I originally put up turned out. Anyway, see ya next time.
