Jss2141: As they said before, it is acting on survival instincts. And is addictive. And they just can't just remove it.
Lonestar88: And you just showed you have not read the story properly. Since we have stated several times that the Nemitrix acts on Krystal's emotions and instincts, when in an animal form Krystal can not control herself as she looses all rational thought and that the blade Evil Ben uses makes her instincts scream to run since its from Reaper Ben's destroyed/decaying universe.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Possibly.
deverest: The armoured woman is not his mother
Here are some reviews answered by Ghost:
61394: Yeah, it's a continuous question that we don't like.
deverest: ...You're half right.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Is that a Kamen Rider reference?
Howlstone16: No problem.
Lonestar88: Just wait, she might get control of it.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hey guys, Chapter 43 is here!
And we are off to another world, returning to where this all began for Ghost and I. The first chapter of Ben's Harem that Ghost and I co-wrote was the chapter of the And Then There Were arc where Ben went to the world of Benzarro. So it's... kind of been a happy event for us.
Meaning we decided to make it two chapters... because we could *grins*
However, before we begin. there is also a special announcement I must make
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
This story shall be updated on December 31st/January 1st alongside four other cards as my New Year update... and then I am going on a hiatus for the month of January. I shall not be updating ANY of my stories for the first month of January, I just need a break from my content upload of two a week. I hope that you all understand this
Krystal's Harem
Chapter 43: Another World, Zarro Part 1!
It was a couple of hours later, Krystal had come down from her room to have some dinner with her uncle Ben 23; he knew she hadn't eaten in at least a day. She ate the food like a starved animal, almost crying when she first tasted it. Ben 23 frowned at the sad state she was in...hurt and scared. He didn't know what to say. He held her shoulder softly, assuring her "Thanks." she sighed
"Take as long as you need." Ben 23 added
"No, I need to get going." she shook her head
"Where to next?" Ben 23 asked in wonder
"Not sure. But from dad's map...A scary one." Krystal answered "A place called 'Zarro World'?"
"..." 23 started laughing, holding his stomach
"What? What's so funny?" Krystal asked in confusion.
"Zarro? Scarey? He's basically a big kid, you'll be fine." he grinned
"Oh. Okay. Thank you." Krystal answered with a relaxed sigh.
"That sounds nice." Ship smiled "What can you tell us of him and his world?"
"Well, as I said he's like a big kid, he's got a girlfriend in Frightwig, he's a circus performer." Ben 23 gave stuff off the top of his head "His world is mostly post apocalyptic."
"Oh god." Krystal frowned, saddened to hear that.
"When he first got his Omnitrix he accidentally killed his worlds Gwen and Max, being sent to a mental hospital until his circus family broke him out. And that's all I remember." 23 admitted
"Oh...God." She frowned, hearing all that. "That... Pout guy."
"Yeah, but...Frightwig has been looking after him. I think he's got a cat and family now." 23 explained "But then again, I don't really remember or the time shift between out worlds."
"So he might be older now." Krystal answered
"Exactly." Ben 23 nodded "You need anything else?"
"...A shower?" She joked lightly.
"Go ahead, I've got three." he nodded
Krystal headed upstairs, going to the bathroom for a much needed shower. She relaxed under the warm water, sighing softly. She felt her fears slowly ebbing away, feeling better about herself 'I can do this...I-I have to do this.' Krystal thought as she rubbed the suds out of her hair and then felt the large, thick fingers of her lover rubbing her back and soothingly "Huh?" Krystal asked as she looked behind her. and saw Ship massaging her back "Ship. Thank you." Krystal whispered as the water muffled her voice
"I'm here for you." she smiled and kissed her neck "Always."
Krystal nodded and relaxed a little more. She relaxed against Ship softly, her hands gently holding the Galvanic Mechamorph's outer thighs to held support her "Thank you." Krystal moaned gently and lay into her girlfriend's arms "I love you. So much."
Ship smiled, kissing her cheek. "I love you too."
*time skip*
"You ready to go?" Ben 23 asked as Krystal and Ship were getting ready to leave.
"Yeah. Thanks for having me, Uncle 23." Krystal answered as she pressed buttons on her bracelet The portal opened up once again, leading Krystal to another world. "Bye." She waved
"Don't be a stranger." Ben 23 waved back. He watched as she left, a knock coming from his front door "Coming." Ben 23 answered and opened it as Krystal disappeared
Standing there was a hot white haired teen around his age, probably a year or two older. Her figure was that of a young super model, hourglass with c cup breasts and legs that went on for days. Her white hair went down to her shoulders, her eyes a soft violet. She wore a black tube top which stopped half way down her stomach and was loose enough to give hints of her black bra. There where hints of her black g-string panties poking out across her wide hips, peaking out from her skin tight jeans and on her feet where stylish black heeled boots with purple laces
"Ben Tennyson, how do you explain this?!" she snapped, shoving a newspaper against his face
"Huh? What do you-?" Ben 23 asked as he looked at the newspaper.
On the newspaper, there was a picture of Ben 23 and Krystal, entering his house. And the headline read 'BEN TENNYSON'S NEW SQUEEZE?'
"Oh, COME ON! WAY out of context!" He snapped snatching the paper from the woman.
"Well? Any explanation?" The woman asked, stomping her foot vigourously.
"Hope; THIS? This is my NIECE." Ben 23 pointed to the picture.
"You haven't got any older siblings and shes your age!" the white haired, purple eyed girl wearing purple snapped
"Hope, Hope. Listen to me. She's my niece from an alternate dimension." Ben 23 answered honestly. "I know it sounds ludicrous but-"
SLAP!
"Asshole." she mumbled and walked into his house
Ben 23 frowned and rubbed his cheek. 'But...It's the truth.' He frowned 'I hope she forgives me.' he thought, watching her as she sat at his table with a huff 'I really do love her, unlike the others.'
*with Krystal*
Krystal was once again walking through the portal with a bit better resolution than before and stroked Ship on her arm. Ship purred a bit, enjoying the feeling as Krystal looked around at the new world "Okay, it's taking us in...THIS direction." Krystal spoke, looking at her bracelet and followed it. She saw the warped universe, the tunnel of light. The two soon arrived at the portal, Krystal braced herself and leapt through it, figuring that she was going to be dropped in the air...and she was right. "Ship!" She called out
"Got it!" She responded and became a pair of wings to slow her descent.
"What is with this thing and heights?" she grumbled
"Maybe the universe has a sick sense of humour?" Ship asked
"Maybe." Krystal nodded, looking around. She noted that the world seemed to have a dark purple tinge to it, but landing softly to the ground she didn't think it was a bit out of place. Every building looked abandoned, decrepit "Okay. Red Flag. All the red flags." Krystal whispered, feeling like she landed in a horror film "Ship, give me something defensive that will help me blend in."
"You got it." Ship answered, transforming Krystal into Cleo.
"Nice choice." she nodded and began to swing through the streets, laughing "I feel like a comic book character!"
"Yeah, remember to be conspicuous...If you can." Ship responded
"YAHOO!" Krystal cheered, mid-air flipping
"Just like that." she sweat dropped
"Come on, this is awesome!" Krystal responded
"Aren't we supposed to look for your 'Uncle Ben'?" Ship asked
"I know, I know. Wait...Is that it?" Krystal wondered as she saw a large circus tent
"It looks new." Ship 'shrugged'
Krystal looked at her bracelet and noted it was pointing in that direction so she, too, took off in that direction. As she entered the circus tent...she felt a shiver up her spine. 'Oh boy.' She thought "Hello?" she called out. The rustle of the tent fluttered gently, the stands inside the tent seemed empty.
The small creak of the tent-pole standing tall.
The shadows crawling along the floor.
"Hello?" Krystal asked again
"...lo?" A faint voice responded
"Hello?" she called again
"...Ello." The voice responded again, being a little clearer. Sounding like a young boy's voice.
"Is anyone? HERE!" Krystal asked calling out calmly before turning around and noticed a young boy behind her and startled her, making her leap into the air "Ah!" she gasped lightly
The young boy looked to be about 5, purple eyes, dark orange hair wearing a purple and black shirt with black trousers, his skin looked a little gaunt but he appeared healthy. He was currently barefoot with a voodoo doll styled teddybear in his hand. He meeped gently and hugged the bear tightly
"Sorry. You startled me." Krystal laughed softly and knelt down to be eye level with the young boy "What's your name?"
"M... Max." he said with a shy tone
"Max." Krystal smiled and she knelt down. "That's a good name. I'm Krystal."
"K-Krys...tal." He repeated slowly, holding his teddy-bear in front of his face
"You're adorable." she smiled softly "What's his name?" she asked, pointing at the bear
"F-Freddy." Max answered nervously, lowering his bear.
"Freddy." Krystal nodded "Hello Freddy."
"Max? Max, what're you-? Who's this?" This world's Frightwig appeared from the backroom of the circus tent and saw Krystal and went into a defensive stance.
"Hi! I'm Krystal, Krystal Tennyson." she smiled nervously "It's been a few years, Ms Frightwig."
"...Krystal? Wait. Prime's daughter?" Frightwig asked, recalling the name.
"Yeah, that's right." She nodded and transformed back.
"HMM!" Max squeaked and somehow appeared behind his mother's trousers.
"Oh he's so cute!" Krystal smiled softly
"He is. What're you doing here?" Frightwig nodded before looking at her.
"Can I speak to your... I am guessing husband?" Krystal asked
"It's a good word as any. But yes, follow me." Frightwig responded and held Max's hand as they left to the back room.
Krystal followed, happy to see her cousin. In the back room, Krystal saw her uncle, stroking a cat and kitten. It was adorable. She blinked, taking in the appearance of this version of her father
Benzarro seemed to be an older version of Max, having fuller skin than when he fought alongside her father. Faded purple hair, purple eyes and wearing his iconic purple and black straight-jacket with the number 10 sewn into the front and the purple Omnitrix on his upper left arm...over the jacket. Also it almost looked like he was missing patches of skin from his face
"Ben, we've got company." Frightwig spoke, getting his attention
"Um, Uncle Zarro?" Krystal spoke seeing him and waved awkwardly.
"Huh?" Benzarro blinked as he looked up
"Mreow?" The kitten and cat followed, looking up at Krystal.
"Kryssy!" Benzarro smiled as he waved with his sleeve covered hand making her laugh
"Hey." she smiled
"Why you here?" Benzarro asked kindly. "Gwen, it cousin Kryssy."
"Mrow." Gwen, the older cat mewed, seeing Krystal
Krystal smiled and hugged Zarro, holding him close "It's good to see you." Krystal spoke, pulling back as she saw his face "How have you been?"
"Me good. Gwen has babies, me and Frighty had son, Max." Zarro answered, pointing at their pet cat and rubbed his son's head. Max whimpered and hid behind his father
'He's quite timid.' Krystal and Ship thought together.
"It okay, Max. They your cousins." Zarro reassures his son
"Sister." Krystal corrected suddenly, unable to stop the words leaving her mouth. All from one thing that EVIL Ben had told her yesterday
"You and I are both children of Ben Tennyson! We are practically siblings!" the mad teens voice echoed in her mind
"S-Sister?" Max asked timidly
"Y-Yeah." Krystal nodded as she realised what she said and smiled "My dad's Ben to."
Max shyly walked out from behind his father and stepped cautiously towards her, hiding a smile behind his teddy "Hello Sister." he smiled gently
"Hello, Max." Krystal stroked his head tenderly.
"Now, would you like to tell us what's going on?" Frightwig asked gently as she sat down
"Okay, but it's not good for Max to hear." Krystal warned them. "Even if it is about him."
"I-I'm brave." Max mumbled, trying to stay by his parents and squeezed his mother's hand tightly
"Alright. There's an Evil Ben scouring the multiverse, his aim is to kill all children of every Ben." Krystal frowned, being as honest and direct as possible... And Max screamed, running out of the room
"MAX!" Benzarro called out in and chased after him
"Krystal, is that true?" Frightwig asked as she was going to go to her son, but her lover got to it first.
"Yes." she nodded sadly
"Is there anything we can do?" Frightwig asked, being defensive "Because I won't let anyone hurt my baby!"
"Neither will we." a tough sounding voice said from behind the two
Krystal blinked and turned around, seeing who was there.
Standing there where three male figures. One massive with his face looking like a thumb, another looking old with his skin gaunt and loose, and the final one looked like the ring leader at a circus
"Zombozo!" Krystal glared and got ready to fight.
"Krystal, wait! They're not bad guys." Frightwig responded as she used her hair to cover the Omegatrix so Krystal couldn't transform... As far as she knew
"What do you MEAN 'not bad guys'?" Krystal asked, looking back at the four of them.
"I'm guessing different worlds, different histories, Krys." Ship commented
"Who's this, Frightwig?" The large man with a thumb-like face asked
"This is Krystal, Thumbskull. She's from another universe." Frightwig responded "She is her world's Ben's daughter."
"Ah~, alright. So, I guess it ain't a social visit?" The gaunt looking man asked as he looked at Krystal...his bad teeth and exposed gums creeping Krystal out a bit.
"Yes. Max is in danger." she flinched
"What? Who's after our little Max?" The more clown-looking member snapped
"An evil child of a Ben Tennyson using Reaper Ben's scythe." Krystal stated simply
"Reaper? Reaper...Wait; didn't he-?" Thumbskull thought to himself before he realized
"Yes." Frightwig nodded solemnly.
"We think he might be Reapers son." Krystal explained "But we have no proof or any other similar ideas."
"What should we do? Where's Max now?" Zombozo asked in worry
"With his father."
The three sighed in relief. "Well, Benny-Boy is gonna look after him." Acid-Breath commented
"Hopefully." Zombozo commented. Thumbskull looked towards outside and headed off in that direction.
"Wait, where's he-?" Krystal asked
"Thumb's friends with Max. Kinda like a protective uncle of sorts." Frightwig explained. Krystal nodded dumbly, feeling overwhelmed "Here, sit down and explain what's going on to Zombozo and Acid Breath." Frightwig helped guide her
"'Kay." Krystal nodded again as she sat down, her head hitting the wall behind her softly
"I'llbe right back." Frightwig added before leaving.
"So, our Ben's niece; right?" Zombozo asked, simplifying it as possible
"Yeah." she nodded
"Nice to put a face to a name." Acid Breath spoke
"Really? They talk about us?" Krystal asked
"Only a little. When your dad was here last." Acid Breath answered "Like seven years ago."
"Guess that's not a lot to go on during that time." Krystal nervously chuckled.
"No, not really. So. What's this 'Evil Ben' look like? So we don't get blindsided or anything." Zombozo asked
"Are there any other people to even catch you off guard alive?" Krystal questioned
"Not often." Zombozo answered
*with Benzarro and Max*
Both father and son were now sitting together, just outside of their home, Max having calmed down and hugging his teddy. He was sat on his father's knee, holding him "Me protect Max. Me won't let bad Ben hurt you." Benzarro whispered, stroking his head "Max good boy. Brave boy."
Max nodded, trying to be brave...but honestly, he WAS scared. But his father believed in him, his mother believed in him. He'd be brave for both of them. He was a rather shy child who liked sitting in his corner and playing with his toys. He heard his mother and uncles talking, they think he might be something called autistic but he had no idea why that meant he hoped he wasn't sick though. He didn't go out and play much, he wasn't use to being brave
"Feel better?" Zarro asked kindly, looking at his son.
"Mmmm." Max whimpered softly and nodded
"Let's go find Mummy." Benzarro added, lifting him up and carried him back inside. As the two went back inside...They heard a terrible noise like it was the sound of fabric tearing, Benzarro looked behind him and saw a terrible long scythe claw cutting through what looked like reality "What be...?" Benzarro blinked
Emerging out of the rip through reality emerged the Evil Ben, grinning maliciously. His hair seemed a bit longer, his scythe now a deep black "Ah~, found you." Evil Ben crept out and almost shambled towards them "So... Who is this?" he smirked at Max, holding his scythe tightly with both hands
"I-I'm." Max mumbled but was hidden behind his father.
"Max. Find mummy. Me'll stop him." Benzarro spoke and slammed his head on his Omnitrix in a way that was almost comical and in a bright purple flash, Benzarro transformed into his Mummy alien form.. He yelled, his arms unfolding and shooting out like mini fists
Evil Ben frowned and leapt into the air and cut around the bandage fists only for a series of red tendrils to shoot out of the portal Evil Ben made and wrap around Benzarro's bandages
"GAH! What happen?" Benzarro screamed, being pulled into the portal. He used his bandages to anchor himself to the floor, a figure emerging from the portal "What, what this? Max, RUN!" Benzarro called out
The figure was a woman with D-cup breasts clad from head to toe in a dark grey armoured suit. Although there was no way to tell how sue could see as her face was entirely covered by the suit, no visor or sits she was entirely blind from the look of her helmet. And emerging from the helmet was long dark red hair that moved as if it was alive, said hair being what was holding 'MummyZarro's arms
"F-Frighty? No. Please. No." Benzarro frowned as he saw the hair as a second set of red hair shot out and freed Zarro, hitting the armour clad woman back
"Get away from my husband you BITCH!" Frightwig snarled.
Max had run back inside with Evil Ben following...and punched out by Krystal who chased after him before Evil Ben could react the rest of the circus crew attacked while Krystal held Max and ran
"Mummy! Daddy!" Max called out.
"It'll be okay, Max. I promise." Krystal responded, carrying Max away from the fighting. The only thought in her mind was to keep this little guy safe
'K-Krystal.' Max thought in fear, seeing how she was protecting him. He hugged his sister, closing his eyes
She ran as fast as she could, running through town, to a safe location
