Ch.2: The More Things Change: Part 1

It was in the middle of the night when Mio and Maria sighed as they couldn't fall asleep. Mio sat up and looked to her right to see Maria in her own bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Maria, are you awake," asked Mio.

"Yeah. Can't fall asleep, can you," asked Maria and Mio nodded. "Same here."

"What's on your mind," asked Mio.

"I guess I'm a little scared," said Maria with a sob. "We finally have a family and I'm scared of what might happen if Zolgear somehow manages to make his way here. Ben and his parents have been so nice to us, they took us in and made us part of the family. I don't want to lose it."

"Yeah, I'm scared, too," said Mio understandingly. "Zolgear killed my foster parents and I'll never forgive myself if I'm the reason Ben looses his. Paradox said that no one will know how to get here, but I just can't stop thinking what could happen if someone actually managed to come. It could be Zolgear or someone from the Hero Clan. What if Ben and the Hero Clan actually teamed–up against us?"

"Mio, Ben would never let anyone hurt us," said Maria as she stood up and made her way to Mio's bed. "He's our brother. You saw how he protected us at the mall. But, if it'll ease your mind, I think we should do the Master/Servant pact as soon as possible."

"Yeah, let's do it now. I sure hope Ben's back from his hero duty," said Mio as she and Maria opened the door and quietly made their way to Ben's room.

They knocked several times, but there was no answer so Maria opened the door and the girls saw nothing, but an empty room.

"I guess he's still outside," said Maria as she walked into the room.

"Let's wait for him," said Mio. "I hope he comes back soon."

Just as she said that, a blue phantom moth entered the room and the girls nearly jumped out of fright when it turned visible, but noticed the Omnitrix on the belt around its waist.

"Ben, is that you," asked Maria, catching him by surprise.

"What are you two doing in my room," asked Big Chill.

"We were waiting for you," said Mio. "There's something we need to talk about."

"And what could be so important that it can't wait until morning," asked Big Chill as the Omnitrix timed out.

"Well, you see, we might be a family, but the two of us need as many allies as possible," said Maria. "And I've got a proposal, a very important one."

"That kind of makes sense and I could use some help if the situation gets rough," said Ben. "What do I need to do?"

"Leave it to me," said Maria as she formed a yellow circle on the floor. "I'd like you and Mio to form a Master/Servant testament."

"Do we really have to be master and servant," asked Ben.

"Of course. If you bond your souls by a pact, you'll understand each other better as well as find each other's whereabouts," explained Maria.

"And I guess the GPS on a cell phone won't help," said Ben and Maria nodded in agreement.

"That's right. Also, this magic can only be done on a night of full moon, like tonight. We can't afford to miss this chance," said Maria and Ben nodded in understatement before looking at Mio.

"Are you sure you want to do this," asked Ben.

"Yeah, I'm fine with it. That way we'll be able to find each other," said Mio.

"Perfect! Then it's settled," said Maria as she held Mio's hand. "This'll your first time using magic so I'll be right here to support you."

"Let's do it," said Mio.

"First, a magic circle will form on her hand and the pact will be complete once you kiss it," said Maria.

"So I just have to kiss her hand," asked Ben before noticing something on his right hand. "Hey, there's something showing on my hand."

"What!? Maria, what's going on," asked Mio as she put her hands on Maria's shoulders.

"Wops, I guess I made a mistake," said Maria with a small chuckle.

"What are we gonna do now," asked Mio.

"Let's focus on the task of knowing each other's whereabouts, so can you please go kiss Ben's hand now," said Maria.

"So I'll have to be his slave," shouted Mio.

"You don't have to really be a slave," said Ben before the circle started to fade. "Um, I don't want to interrupt whatever is going on between you two, but this thing is starting to disappear."

"What," asked Maria in shock before turning to Mio. "Quick, you have to smooth it! It can only be released on the next full moon!"

"But that's a whole month away. I just don't know," said Mio as the circle on Ben's hand disappeared.

"And it's gone," said Ben as Maria looked nervously.

"This is bad," said Maria and a pink collar appeared on Mio's neck as she fell on her knees.

"Mio, are you okay," asked Ben in concern as he touched Mio's shoulder, causing her to scream.

"Uh oh, the curse has already taken effect," said Maria nervously, surprising Ben.

"Wait, there's a curse," asked Ben as he put his hands on a nervous Maria's shoulders. "Can you explain it to us, please?"

"Well, the main purpose of the Master/Servant pact is to test the subordinate's loyalty so when the subordinate takes treacherous acts, the curse activates. Since Mio refused the kiss of loyalty, then most likely this is her curse," explained Maria.

"You're kidding me, right," asked Ben.

"I'm not, unfortunately. And despite my appearance, I'm a succubus," said Maria, shocking Ben.

"Wait, you're a lust demon who likes to do lude things to men," asked Ben.

"Well, it's slightly different than that. I sort of used my magic in the pact, so Mio is suffering a succubus' curse," said Maria. "In other words, a powerful aphrodisiac effect. It's a shame."

"Please, there has to be something you can do. Please, help me," said Mio weakly.

"So, aren't you gonna do anything," Ben asked Maria.

"Not a problem. The curse can be alleviated when the master makes the servant submit," said Maria.

"And the heck am I supposed to make her submit," asked Ben.

"That's simple. All you have to do is touch Mio," said Maria. "Right now, the aphrodisiac effect is making her senses hyper–sensitive. She's never felt such pleasure, so if you touch her for a while, she'll immediately submit her loyalty to you by her own free will."

"Wait a minute, are you sure about this," asked Mio.

"Don't worry. I'll have Ben come and relieve you soon," said Maria with a sly smile. "It's not like I wouldn't watch your expression when Ben brings you to the peak of excitement when you just can't take it anymore. Well, Ben, please relief Mio by touching her in her embarrassing places."

"Alright, but if you're messing with me, I'm going Rath on you after this. Besides, if I'm going to do this, I'll do it my way," said Ben as he activated the Omnitrix and transformed into his Florauna form he called Wildvine. "Oh, come on! I wanted Echo Echo, not Wildvine!"

"Oh, that's even better," said Maria with a sly expression. "Although, I wouldn't mind if you use those tendrils on me as well."

"Shut it," said Wildvine as he approached Mio. "I thought I'd never do something so embarrassing, so bear with me here. This is just as awkward for you as it is for me."

"That's okay. Just make it fast," said Mio as she got ready.

After around 15 minutes of pleasure, Mio was relieved and Wildvine laid her on his bed before the Omnitrix timed out while Maria was cleaning the floor.

"Nine times, amazing! That's our Mio," said Maria happily as Ben sat on the floor with his hand in his hands.

"I can't believe that just happened," muttered Ben before looking at Maria. "So, why didn't you tell us about the curse?"

"I thought you wouldn't go through with it if I told you. I'm really sorry," said Maria.

"I see. But I think you've got a bigger problem," said Ben as he pointed behind Maria and she turned around to see an angry Mio standing behind her.

"Maria, you and I need to have a chat," said Mio in anger as she went to grab her, but Maria was faster and managed to get crawl behind Ben.

"Come on, Mio. Don't be man," plead Maria.

"You're not getting away that easy," said Mio as she approached Maria, but Ben stopped her.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Mio, take it easy," said Ben. "True, she made a little mistake with the whole magic, but everybody makes mistakes. Just take a deep breath and calm down."

Mio looked at Ben and calmed down.

"Okay, I'm calm, but that doesn't mean I'm not mad at what she did," said Mio.

"Fair enough. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go take a shower and take a nap, and tomorrow, I'll give you a tour around Bellwood," said Ben and the girls nodded before leaving the room.

In the morning, Ben woke up with a surprise when he saw a naked Maria on top of him.

"What the heck are you doing here and why are you naked," asked Ben.

"I just wanted to show you my appreciation for defending me from Mio's anger," said Maria gently. "But now it's your turn to show me some appreciation."

"If you're talking about that kind of appreciation, then the answer is no," said Ben as he activated the Omnitrix and selected Goop, but the Omnitrix once turned him into the wrong alien by transforming him into his Loboan form he called Benwolf. "Are you kidding me? I wanted Goop, not Benwolf!"

"Oh, so you've got a werewolf," asked Maria as she petted Benwolf on the snout. "But do you seriously call it Benwolf?"

"Hey, some of my aliens have worse names than that," said Benwolf.

"Okay, but this one definitely needs a new one," said Maria.

"I'll put it on my to–do list," said Benwolf as he picked Maria off of him and stood up before the Omnitrix timed out. "Come on, let's check on Mio and get ready for the tour."

"Okay, but where are you gonna take us," asked Maria.

"Two of the places are Mr. Smoothie's and my work place. I plan on introducing you to my grandpa," said Ben. "Now, can you please get out? I need to get dressed."

"Are you uncomfortable me watching you change," asked Maria and got her answer when Ben pushed her out before closing the door. "I'll take that as maybe."

Later, Ben, Mio and Maria were in Ben's car as he drove around the city. He showed them various places, including Mr. Smoothies before stopping at a shop that had "Max's Plumbing" labeled on the front.

"Come on, girls," said Ben as he and the girls entered the shop and much to the girls' confusion, Ben went straight for the bathroom and motioned them to follow him.

"Where are you taking us," asked Mio as the three entered the toilet room.

"Stay close to me," said Ben before pulling down the cauldron and the floor around them glowed before going down, much to the girls' shock.

"What's happening," asked Maria.

"I said I'll show you my working place and meet my grandpa," said Ben as the descended stopped and the doors opened. "Welcome to the Plumbers' base!"

Mio and Maria walked out of the elevator and looked around the place. Their jaws dropped when they saw how enormous it was. There were humans and aliens working together.

"Incredible," said both Mio and Maria in awe.

"Come on, I think I know where grandpa is," said Ben as he walked further into the base and the girls followed him.

"So you work here," asked Mio.

"Yup. My grandpa is in charge of this whole place," said Ben, taking the girls by surprise.

"Your grandfather is in charge," asked Mio.

"Actually, Max is not my grandpa. He's our grandpa," said Ben. "You two are my sisters, right? That makes Max your grandpa as well."

Mio and Maria couldn't believe what Ben just said. They haven't known each other for more than 48 hours and he already accepts them as part of the family.

They continued walking around the base and before Mio and Maria, they met up with a black shirt, covered by a red buttoned-up Hawaiian shirt with a floral design. He wore white pants, and his shoes were grey at the top and black at the bottom.

"Hey, grandpa. What's up," asked Ben as he approached the man, making Mio and Maria stop in their tracks.

"Hey, Ben. Nothing much. Just making breakfast," said Max before noticing the two girls. "Who are your new friends?"

"These are Mio and Maria, and they're actually my sisters," said Ben with a smile, surprising Max. "In short, Mio is the daughter of a former demon lord and is being hunted by some jerks, so Paradox saved them and brought them here so I can keep them safe."

"I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but won't their loved ones miss them," asked Max.

"The one who's hunting me killed my foster parents, so we were on our own before we got here," said Mio and Max nodded in understatement.

"By the way, I don't think Paradox made them IDs, so is there any chance we could get them some Plumber IDs," asked Ben.

"I don't see the problem. Giving them Plumber Badges will reassure their safety. But I have a condition. Since Paradox has entrusted you to take care of them, they'll be part of your team," said Max. "With Gwen and Kevin away, you'll need one, but do they have any special abilities?"

"Well, I've got superhuman strength and demon magic, mainly succubus powers. I can also look into and control dreams and erase memories," said Maria, taking both Ben and Max by surprise.

"She's a succubus," Max asked Ben.

"Hey, I found out about it last night when she had Mio and I perform some Master/Servant pact," said Ben.

"And what does this Master/Servant pact does," asked Max.

"Since Ben and Mio have formed it, they can each other's location," said Maria. "Also, as the servant's loyalty grows stronger, so will both of their combat abilities."

"In other words, the more my loyalty to Ben grows, the stronger we'll become," asked Mio and Maria nodded.

"Hold on, didn't you say you're a succubus? Doesn't this have any other effects," asked Max.

"Well, in order for their bond to grow stronger, Mio must submit to Ben whenever a curse is activated. And with me being a succubus, the only way for Ben to do that is to pleasure her. Luckily, last night it turned out that Mio's breasts are her weak spot, so Ben needs to touch her breasts to make her submit faster," said Maria, shocking Ben and Max, and embarrassing Mio.

"Yeah, I have to touch my sister's breasts to increase our bond," said Ben with a sigh. "From all crazy things I've ever done, this tops them all."

"Anyway, we know what you can do, but what about Mio," asked Max.

"Well, I have demon powers, mainly gravity magic, magic barrier and flight. But from the elemental magic, I use mainly lighting and fire," said Mio, surprising Ben and Max.

"Wow, I didn't know I had such badass sisters," said Ben in awe.

"You two clearly have very powerful abilities," said Max before turning to Ben. "But, just in case, I think you're going to need another member."

"Another member," asked Ben.

However, before Max could explain any further, the alarm went off. Ben, Max, Mio and Maria went to the monitor and saw something happening in Bellwood.

"I've got this," said Ben as he went to the elevator.

"Ben, take your sisters with you," said Max, surprising Mio and Maria.

"You heard him, ladies. Let's go," said Ben and Mio and Maria followed him.

Later, the three arrived at the scene and were shocked at what they saw.

"Wow. Bye bye, building," said Ben as they stared at a half destroyed building with a crater left. "You two stay here. This is practically your first day as superheroes, so follow my lead, okay?"

"We'll wait for your signal," said Maria and Mio nodded.

Ben smiled and went down the crater to check it out.

"What could've done this," Ben asked himself.

As he continued walking, a huge, rock-based life form with a crab-like body and a rhino-like face alien ran into the crater. It walked on six crab-like legs and had spikes on its legs. It had a long horn and small ears. It also had a dark purple/grey color scheme with sunken red eyes. This was Crabdozer, the natural predator of Heatblast.

"You must be the one, who took down the building. Nice job," said Ben as he activated the Omnitrix. "How about I introduce you to a friend of mine I like to call Humungousaur!"

Ben cycled through his aliens and slammed down the core, engulfing him in green light. When the light faded, however, in Ben's place wasn't Humungousaur, but a small monkey-like alien with four arms, two legs, three fingers on each hand and three toes on each foot, blue fur over a dark blue center, and a tail with two white stripes near the tip. He wore the Omnitrix symbol on his chest, connected by two green sashes he wore across his chest. This was Ben's Arachnichimp form he called Spidermonkey.

"Huh," asked Spidermonkey as he looked at himself before Crabdozer slammed him into one of the crater's sides. "Why does this new Omnitrix hate me?"

"Ben, do you need any help," shouted Mio.

"Don't worry. I've got this," said Spidermonkey as he shot spider web at Crabdozer, which only caused it to slam him into the wall again. "Well, that didn't help at all. You know, if I was Humungousaur right now, you'd be very sorry."

Spidermonkey then fired a web at part of the building above him and tried to pull himself out, but it ended bringing part of it down, crashing onto Spidermonkey and Crabdozer. Luckily, Spidermonkey's durable body helped him survive the fallen pieces of concrete.

"I may be small, but I'm wiry," said Spidermonkey as he got out of the rubble and distanced himself from it, but Crabdozer soon emerged unharmed from the rubble. "Okay, now I could use some help!"

Crabdozer charged at Spidermonkey, but Maria got between them and punched Crabdozer in the face, sending it flying into the fallen concrete, shocking Spidermonkey.

"Wow, I don't want to be at the receiving end at one of those punches," Spidermonkey chuckled nervously before noticing Maria's attire. "What the heck are you wearing!?"

"Oh, this is my succubus form," said Maria as she spun around to show herself to Spidermonkey. "Why, are you turned on by little poor me?"

Spidermonkey didn't know what to do, but before he could say anything, Mio jumped down between them.

"Are you two done flirting," asked Mio as she fired a huge bolt of electricity at Crabdozer, who once again charged at them, stunning it.

"I'm not flirting, she was," said Spidermonkey, defending himself.

"I'm a succubus. It's what I do," said Maria.

"Can you please then do it when there's not a truck–sized rhino that wants to turn us into pancakes," asked Spidermonkey as Crabdozer shook of the electricity and glared at the three. "Okay, let's take this big boy down."

Crabdozer went to charge at them when it suddenly turned back and retreated back into the remains of the building.

"What just happened," asked Mio, confused.

"Heck if I know," said Spidermonkey before the Omnitrix timed out.

"Is it gone," asked a small green alien with warts on its face that came out of toilet, scaring the three.

"Who are you," asked Ben.

"Pakmar. This is my place. Was my place. Pakmar's place," said Pakmar, introducing himself.

"Well, you're safe now," said Ben.

"My heroes," said Pakmar before grabbing a broom and started cleaning.

"Do you need help," asked Maria.

"No. Just move away. I don't want anymore trouble," said Pakmar.

"Yeah, I think it's a little too late for that," said Ben as he, Mio and Maria looked around.

"All I wanted was to run my toilet emporium in peace," said Pakmar. "Now, it's in pieces."

Ben checked out a strange–looking toilet and he and the girls were taken by surprise at what it did.

"Different aliens have different needs," said Pakmar.

"I don't even want to know," said Ben.

"Neither do I," said Mio.

"Same here," added Maria.

"So, the thing that did this to your place. A dissatisfied customer," asked Ben.

"Hardly. Some rough low–life started shaking the alien market," said Pakmar. "We pay them Taydenite, they protect us. Only thing is, we don't pay, they're the ones we need protecting from."

"Have they threatened anyone else," asked Mio.

"Only every alien shop in Bellwood. Damn it, kids, where have you been," asked Pakmar before continuing to do his own thing.

"I think I know just guy we can ask for information," said Ben as he started to leave. "Come on, girls."

"So, where are we going," asked Maria.

"A friend of grandpa's runs an alien shop. There's a very high chance he'll know something about this mess," said Ben as the three got into his car and drove away.

Later, the three arrived at a grocery store. Once they went inside, Ben went up to a man with glasses, a dark pink bow-tie and a light pink-striped yellow shirt with a dark pink apron and brown pants. He also had a little black mustache. He also had a pot belly. He was partially bald and had gray hair on the side of his head.

"Alright, Mr. Baumann. What do you know," Ben asked the man.

"I know a lot of things," said Mr. Baumann.

"Anything about alien protection in Bellwood," asked Ben.

"Nope," said Mr. Baumann.

"So they haven't been coming around here," asked Ben.

"Who's been coming around where," asked Mr. Baumann as he checked his watch nervously.

"Why are you so nervous," asked Mio.

"Okay then, I'll see you again, Ben and your friends. Enjoy your free beef sandwich to go," said Baumann as he put a sandwich in Ben's hand and started pushing him towards the exit.

"They're on their way right now, aren't they," asked Ben.

"Please, Ben. It's a simple arrangement. I pay them, they leave," said Baumann. "Which is what I want you to do right now."

"But Mr. Baumann we can stop them," said Ben as he gestured to himself and his sisters.

"No, you ruin my shop every time you're in it," said Baumann.

"You think we're going to mess up your place more than they will," asked Ben and received a glare from Mr. Baumann. "Okay, one time. What if we just sit quietly at the counter and blend in like the other customers? I promise, you won't even notice we're here."

"I know I'm going to regret this," muttered Mr. Baumann as he took the sandwich back. "Fine, you can stay and don't touch anything."

"Yes! Come on, girls," said Ben as he gestured for Mio and Maria to follow him before activating the Omnitrix. "Come on, baby. Any alien should work for a disguise."

Ben slammed down the core, transforming him into his Arburian Pelarota form he called Cannonbolt. Unfortunately, Cannonbolt's huge size caused some cans to fall down.

"That was me. My bad," said Cannonbolt as the other aliens looked at him. "Hey, what's up, fellow aliens? Nice weather we're having here on Earth."

"Ben, you're not fooling anybody," said Baumann.

"Oh, right," said Cannonbolt as he picked some cans up and went up to the counter with the girls following him. He jumped on one of the seats, but his huge size causing him to fall down. Luckily, Maria was fast enough to catch him, much to Mr. Baumann's relief. "Thanks, Maria."

"No problem," said Maria as she helped him balance himself.

Cannonbolt then slowly sat down on two chairs that bent due to his weight. Mio was about to sit to his right, but Maria was faster and took the seat, causing Mio to frown. Before Mio could do or say anything, a voice interrupted her.

"Pay up, Baumann," said a deep voice.

"Have you heard about Pakmar," asked a chicken voice.

"I heard he has great deals on toilets," said Cannonbolt as the criminals approached the bar.

Mio and Maria looked at the three criminals and slowly reached for Cannonbolt.

The first was a pink caterpillar-like alien wearing a life-support power armor. The armor was mainly silver except the torso which was black with purple accents. He wore purple gloves and had three sharp claws on each of his hands. He had a prominent blue round helmet. This was Bubble Helmet.

The second was a very chicken–like alien, having feathers and a beak. He also wore silver armguards and two bandoleers connecting together on his chest. His upper half was beige, the lower half was brown, he had orange feet-like hands and sticking out of his head on the top as well as his bottom were red feathers. This was Liam.

And the third was a pink alien with yellow eyes inside a red and black power armor. This was Fistina.

"I heard it was an accident," said Mr. Baumann.

"Accidents happen all the time. Maybe to you," said Bubble Helmet as he stepped aside, revealing a bomb in Liam and Fistina's hands.

"Take it easy now. I don't want any trouble," said Mr. Baumann as he opened a box of Taydenite and handed a piece to the three criminals, but Bubble Helmet took the whole box.

"Pleasure doing business with you," said Bubble Helmet and Cannonbolt had enough as he stood up.

"Hey, bubble head," said Cannonbolt.

"This doesn't concern you, Arburian Pelarota," said Bubble Helmet.

"Actually, I think it does," argued Cannonbolt.

"You need to be thought a lesson," said Bubble Helmet as he brought out two metal rods.

"Oh, let me guess. You're the one who's gonna teach it to me," said Cannonbolt.

"Not in my store. Please, Ben, I'll pay you to fight outside," said Mr. Baumann.

"Really," asked Cannonbolt before turning his attention to the criminals. "I mean, you're not gonna get away, bubble brain."

"Take him down," said Bubble Helmet as he began shooting from the rods.

"No lasers! No lasers," said Mr. Baumann as he ducked behind the bar.

Cannonbolt charged at Bubble Helmet at sent him crashing into some stands, much to Mr. Baumann's irritation.

"I knew this was going to happen the moment he walked into my store," said Mr. Baumann with a glare.

Mio and Maria saw the situation Ben was in and decided to get into the action. Mio fired a blast of electricity at Fistina which stunned her long enough for Cannonbolt to slam her into other stands. Maria walked up to Liam and punched him, sending him crashing into Fistina.

"Wow, you two are pretty good," Cannonbolt complimented the two girls.

"Let's blow up this place," said Bubble Helmet as he activated the bomb and ran for the exit, followed by Liam and Fistina.

"Ben, do something," said Mr. Baumann.

"I've got it," said Cannonbolt as he charged at the bomb, but the Omnitrix timed out, causing Ben to crash against the force field around the bomb.

"Isn't this when your friends show up to save the day? And I'm not talking about these two girls," said Mr. Baumann as Mio and Maria helped Ben get up.

Just as he said that, a customer that was by the bar unveiled himself and chased after the three criminals, much to Ben, Mio and Maria's surprise. The alien was tall, with periwinkle-blue colored fur, black markings on his face, and pointed ears. The middle of his face, his chest and his stomach were white. He had black stripes on his shoulders, waist, lower legs and lower arms. He was wearing a very durable blue-and-black Proto-Tech Armor. The alien grabbed the weapon on his shoulder and fired a bow at Bubble Helmet, hitting him in the back. He then fired a net that trapped all three criminals to the ground.

"Who are you," asked Ben.

"My apologies, sir. Magister Tennyson sent me," said the alien.

"Grandpa," asked Ben, confused.

"I'm Rook Blonko. Your new partner," said Rook, shocking Ben, Mio and Maria.

"Yeah, no offense, dude, but if I had to pick a partner, it would be my sisters," said Ben, causing Mio to smile and Maria to smirk.

"I wouldn't mind if the three of us became partners, but I've got a question – partners in fighting crime, or partners in bed," asked Maria, causing both Ben and Mio to blush.

"Fighting crime – sure. In bed – I'll think about it and only if you ask nicely," said Ben.

"Sir, I must say it's a honor to meet you and I look forward working with you," said Rook.

"Dude, don't you know what I've done," asked Ben.

"I've heard all about your accomplishments, like stopping the Highbreed invasion and defeating Vilgax on numerous occasions," said Rook, surprising Ben, Mio and Maria. "Lessons about you are being taught at the Plumbers Academy."

"Really? There are lessons about me," asked Ben, thrilled.

"A chapter and half," replied Rook.

It's still something," said Ben as the Omnitrix recharged. "Thanks for the help, man, but I've got this now."

Ben activated the Omnitrix and cycled through his aliens before slamming down the core, engulfing him in green light. When the light faded, in Ben's place stood a gorilla made of mostly red and yellow building blocks with some blue blocks. He had black lines and studs all over his body. His feet were stubs and his hands were extremely large to balance most of his body. He wore the Omnitrix symbol on his chest. This was Ben's Segmentasapien form.

"Wow, who's this guy," asked Ben as looked over himself.

"You look like a gorilla made out of LEGO bricks," said Maria. "I take it you've never turned into this guy before."

"Hey, I got this Omnitrix just a few weeks ago. Who knows how many new aliens it has," said Ben in self-defense.

"So, how are you gonna call it," asked Mio.

"I have no idea," said Ben. "How about… Bloxx?"

"Short and simple. I like it," said Mio with a smile.

"Excuse me, sir, but the criminals are getting away," said Rook as he gestured to the criminals who have freed themselves from the net.

"Rook, you find a way to detonate the bomb. The girls and I will take care of those three," said Bloxx and Rook, Mio and Maria nodded.

Rook went up to the force field while Bloxx, Mio and Maria went after the three. Mio fired two blasts of electricity that struck Liam and Fistina, stopping them in their tracks, and Maria used her speed and strength to catch up to Bubble Helmet and elbowed him to the ribs, causing him to lose his breath and to fall between Liam and Fistina. Bloxx used the moment and surrounded the three in a dome.

Meanwhile, Rook just looked at the bomb, trying to figure out what to do.

"What are you waiting for," asked Bloxx.

Rook took his weapon and blasted a hole into one of the store's walls, much to Baumann's horror.

"Why is my shop that always suffers the most when Ben's around," Mr. Baumann muttered to himself.

"I can't break the force field in time. We need to move it to an unpopulated area," said Rook.

"Translation, please," said Mio in annoyance.

"Help me move it outside," said Rook and Bloxx released the three criminals from the dome and went to pick up the bomb.

Mio and Maria followed them after tying the three criminals and saw Bloxx turning into a catapult, launching the bomb towards a nearby building.

"Watch out," shouted Bloxx as he formed a dome around Mio, Maria and Rook, protecting them from the explosion.

When the explosion ended, in the building's place was a giant crater, and Bloxx shifted back to normal before the Omnitrix timed out, turning him back to Ben.

"That was close," said Mio in relief.

"Proto–Tech Armor. Very durable, but I appreciate it, sir," said Rook.

"Just call me Ben, dude," said Ben with a sigh.

"Okay, Ben Dude," said Rook and Ben face–palmed.

The three criminals used that moment to run down the crater, but Ben, Mio, Maria and Rook noticed them and went after them. They chased them for a while before coming across a secret, underground, alien city, called Undertown.

"No way," said Ben, shocked.

"How are we going to find them," asked Maria.

"I'll follow the chicken. Mio and Maria, you get the robot. Rook, you go after bubble brain," instructed Ben and everyone went after their respective target.

To be continued…

Hey, everyone. I'm back with another chapter. Like I said, some things will be different from the show, especially now that Ben and Mio have formed the Master/Servant pact. The episodes that will be most affected by this are: Hot Stretch, Many Happy Returns, Rules of Engagement, An American Benwolf in London, Animo Crackers, Catfight and The Most Dangerous Game Show. Also, a small spoiler, it won't be Ben who'll come up with a new name for Benwolf and it'll be seen sooner than the show. I'm gonna be honest, from the Halloween trio, Blitzwolfer is my most favorite alien. Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter. I was originally planning on doing the two–part episodes in one chapter, but I decided against it. Still, let me know how you prefer it. That's all from me for now. I'll see you all next time. Until then, have a nice day.
