Pier Pressure
I don't own Digimon or Ben 10
A spaceship had just crashed down to earth in a forest, something then oozed out and landed on the ground and it looked like Upgrade only it was smaller and more dog like. It then crawled away from the crash site and it saw a truck being lifted up on a jack. It then jumped at the truck and it merged with it and sped off. "Where are you going with my truck!?" the driver asked before the truck turned and sped towards him and he screamed.
The next day Daisuke was on the soccer pitch practicing her soccer skills as she juggled the soccer ball over her body and Ben was sitting in the bleachers watching her. Daisuke looked at him and she waved at him and Ben waved back. "So, when are you going to ask her out?" Gwen asked Ben as she sat beside him.
"What?!" he asked her.
"Oh don't try to hide it Ben. You like her, and she likes you," Gwen told him.
"But….we're really good friends and I don't want to ruin what we've got," Ben replied.
"Ben, you're funny, sensitive and well mannered….unlike some people I know," Gwen said looking to see Kevin was in the bleachers as well, only he was snoring loudly. "And I'm sure she will say yes," Gwen told Ben who sighed before he stood up and walked down towards Daisuke who stopped juggling the ball and looked at him.
"Hey Ben," she greeted.
"Uh….hi," he replied. "So….I was wondering do you want to….I don't know get together sometime?" Ben asked her.
"Sure, when?" Daisuke asked him and Ben backed up a bit towards Gwen.
"She said when. That's like a yes but only more specific, now what?" he asked her.
"You say how about tonight," Gwen told him.
"Tonight!?" he asked her a bit too loudly.
"Tonight sounds great. How about the pier?" Daisuke asked with a grin.
"Sounds perfect. I'll pick you up at uh…seven," Ben asked running off and Daisuke chuckled.
"Sometimes I wonder how the species survives," Gwen mumbled to herself as she walked off.
"Yeah I found that stolen truck," a police officer said standing in front of the truck that was hijacked and was now on the side of the road. "No. No sign of whoever took it," he said into a radio. "What do you mean it drove off by itself, that doesn't happen," the officer said before he heard a siren and saw his squad car drive off on its own. "Much," he said.
"Great. My hair is a mess, my shirt is wrinkled and I have a zit the size of Kansas," Ben said in his room as he moved his hair to reveal a big zit on his forehead.
"Yeah. That's one big zit alright," Kevin said from behind him.
"How'd you get in here!?" Ben asked him.
"The usual way," Kevin said holding up his stone covered hand before it turned back to normal. "Incidentally you may want to fix that big hole in your back door before your mom sees it," Kevin told him.
"You could have knocked!" Ben told him.
"I sort of did," Kevin replied.
"Has anyone told you are a strange and dangerous person?" Ben asked him.
"Constantly. But enough about me, Gwen says that you need a favour," Kevin told him.
"Yeah. I'm taking Dai to the pier tonight," Ben said.
"I bet you do," Kevin replied.
"And since I don't have a car…" Ben started.
"Or a license," Kevin added.
"Or a license. I was wondering if you could give us a ride. Or let Dai borrow the car for the night," Ben said looking at Kevin.
"Okay," he answered standing up.
"That's it? No jokes, no insults, no blackmail?" Ben asked Kevin who absorbed the metal from the door handle.
"Nope," he answered.
"Wow. Thanks….wait a minute you're gonna wait until we're in the car and then you're gonna make my life miserable aren't you?" Ben asked Kevin who smirked as he shut the door and ripped the door knob off.
"Knobs broken," he said and Ben sighed. Later that night Daisuke and Ben were in the back of Kevin's car as Kevin drove with Gwen in the front passenger seat.
"Now remember Benny boy you're mother and I was you home by ten o'clock sharp or you can't go to the disco," Kevin said.
"Give them a break Kevin," Gwen told him.
"Gosh pumpkin what do you mean?" Kevin asked her.
"You know exactly what I mean. At least when Ben likes a girl he lets her know, he asks her out. Maturity isn't that a novel approach?" Gwen asked him.
"Ben's got girlfriend, Ben's got a girlfriend," Kevin chanted before he laughed and Ben groaned and Daisuke held his hand and smiled at him making him smile back. The car drove towards the pier and the hijacked police car followed them as Daisuke and Ben left the car and walked to the pier and Kevin's car drove off.
"Man, Kevin can be really mean at times," Daisuke said.
"It's how he is. It makes him happy," Ben replied before he saw the pier was almost deserted. "Slow night, this place is packed on weekends,"
"Good. This way we have the place to ourselves," Daisuke said wrapping her arm around Ben's making him smile.
"I guess we do," Ben said before the Omnitrix on Daisuke's wrist started to beep loudly.
"Typical. Everything is going great and you freak out on me!" Daisuke said shaking her arm and she hit the Omnitrix trying to stop it beeping. The Upgrade like alien arrived at the pier and looked at Daisuke before it looked at the nearby bumper cars and it crawled towards them, the beeping that the Omnitrix was doing stopped making both Daisuke and Ben sigh in relief.
"That was weird," Ben said and Daisuke nodded before they heard screaming and a bumper car jumped off the ride and reared up at them.
"That's not good," Daisuke said.
"Run!" Ben shouted as he and Daisuke ran off and the bumper car chased them, they jumped over some dustbins but the bumper car smashed through them and continued chasing the duo. They then jumped over a cotton candy cart.
"Hey!" the man behind the cart shouted.
"Sorry!" Ben and Daisuke shouted back, the man then saw the bumper car heading towards him and he jumped out of the way and the bumper car smashed through the cart and it shook its head and looked around for Ben and Daisuke but they were nowhere to be found.
"What is this? When carnival rides attack?" Daisuke asked as she and Ben had climbed up a tower. The bumper car then sent out a wave and the Omnitrix began to beep. "Shush!" Daisuke told it as the bumper car rammed it and Daisuke fell down into the bumper car which drove off with her. "Okay, this is getting weird," she said before she saw a banner in front of her and she jumped and grabbed it and spun around before she landed on the ground. The bumper car then turned to see Daisuke had taken her jacket off. "Toro, toro," she said waving her jacket and the bumper car sped towards her but Daisuke lifted her jacket revealing a pole and the bumper car smashed into it. "Ole. I hope there is a simple explanation to this, but I doubt it," she then walked off and saw Ben running up to her with cotton candy.
"Dai, you alright?" he asked her.
"Yeah. I am now," she answered taking the pink cotton candy and she bit into it and Ben bit into the blue cotton candy. A few minutes later both were walking up to a fighter jet which was moving in all directions.
"This looks fun, if you don't mind wrenching G-forces and waves of nausea," Ben said.
"Good thing you didn't get us the cheeseburgers," Daisuke told him. They then saw the jet turn black and green and it turned to face them. "Not again!" Daisuke shouted as she and Ben ran off as the jet's nose hit the ground and it tried to follow them but it was bolted to the ground and the Omnitrix beeped rapidly.
"Time to go Jetray," Ben told her and Daisuke nodded as she was enveloped in a golden flash of light but instead of Jetray she turned into an alien which looked like a crab with pincers for hands and six legs and she had blue eyes and a bracer under her large head with the Omnitrix symbol on it.
"I'm not Jetray. I am a seafood platter," the new alien said. "And one possessing a highly advanced intellect. Ergo I perhaps I should assign this new lifeform a more suitable name. What say Brainstorm!" the new alien now dubbed Brainstorm shouted as blue electricity arched around her head. The jet had broken free from its restraints and it flew towards Brainstorm and knocked her over. "Now I most decidedly miffed," she said as the plates on her head opened up revealing her massive brain and she fired electricity at the jet which dodged. "What the deuce!?" Brainstorm asked before the jet fired green laser beams at Brainstorm who created a barrier to protect herself and Ben rolled out of the way when Brainstorm lifted him into the air and the jet looked at Ben as he was placed down safely away from the battle. The jet then flew towards Ben but Brainstorm fired a massive electrical blast at the jet hitting it dead on and it smashed into a ride and both crashed into the ocean. "And good riddance might I say," Brainstorm said before she turned back to Daisuke in a flash of golden light.
"Dai, what the heck is going on?" Ben asked running up to her.
"I don't know. But I think it's gone now," Daisuke answered before the ride that the jet had taken into the water rose back up now coloured black and green. "I hate being wrong!" she said before the ride swung one of its arms and grabbed Ben.
"Dai!" Ben shouted.
"Ben! No!" Daisuke shouted as she was enveloped in a golden light and she turned into Jetray who flew off after the ride and Ben.
"This makes no sense. Why am I being attacked by carnival rides? And why kidnap Ben?" she said as she saw the ride walking down the highway.
"Let me go!" Ben shouted as he fired an energy disc at the ride but it was unaffected.
"I can't hit it with a neuro shock, I might hurt Ben," Jetray said flying after it. "So I will have to try the indirect approach," she said flying ahead of the ride and she fired energy blasts at two lampposts making them fall down on one of the rides legs trapping it and it struggled to break free.
"Dai, hurry!" Ben called to her as the ride broke free and hit Jetray sending her crashing to the ground. She then flew into the sky again to see the ride and Ben had vanished. "I won't tell you again! Let me go!" she heard Ben shout at the ride.
"Got ya," she said flying off to see the ride in the forest but Ben was missing. "Where's Ben? What have you done with him!?" she asked.
"Dai. I'm alright," Ben said and Jetray saw Ben was unharmed standing beside the ride and Jetray flew down and turned back into Daisuke who ran and hugged Ben tightly. The ride then moved closer to them.
"Ship. Ship. Ship!" it said.
"Hey, we're trying to have a moment here," Daisuke told the ride who pointed over to the crashed spaceship.
"Ship…you brought us out here to find that spaceship?" Ben asked and the ride nodded before it crashed to the ground, Daisuke and Ben then ran off towards the spaceship to see an alien that looked like Upgrade only it was black and green.
"An Upgrade," Daisuke said as the Upgrade was trapped under some debris and was electrocuted. "And he's in pain," she said before she felt the alien rub against her leg. "You're behind all this?" she asked and the alien nodded.
"Ship. Ship," the alien said.
"Okay. I'll call you Ship," Daisuke said and Ship nodded.
"What's that?" Ben asked pointing at a screen which had flashing symbols on it.
"I don't read alien," Daisuke answered him as Ship turned into the spaceship before it exploded. "It's a countdown. That thing is going to blow!" she shouted before she turned into Humungousaur and she ran up to the energy field and pushed her way through it, she then grabbed the generator disabling the energy field and she threw it into the air and it exploded violently and Humungousaur covered Ship and Ben as the explosion occurred and it passed.
"The explosion is over Dai," Ben told Humungousaur.
"Right….sorry," she said blushing slightly, she then walked back into the ship and freed the Galvanic Mechamorph. "There you go," she said.
"Thank you. As I was saying before I lost consciousness I extruded this symbiote. The one you called Ship,"
"Ship!" Ship chirped.
"Thank you. And set it off to fine the nearest Plumber," the Galvanic Mechamorph said.
"So you came after me?" Humungousaur asked.
"Well of course. Didn't you receive its distress signal?"
"The beeping?" Ben asked.
"Yes the beeping," the Galvanic Mechamorph answered before its eye narrowed. "Don't you know how that works?"
"Not so much no," Humungousaur answered.
"Really. Aren't you a Plumber?" the Galvanic Mechamorph asked.
"No. My father Derrick Motomiya is," Humungousaur answered as she turned back into Daisuke.
"So that's why Ship came after you. He needed help," Ben said.
"He wrecked the pier and he kidnapped you," Daisuke said.
"Well I needed help," the Mechamorph said.
"That's obvious," Daisuke replied.
"And you wonder why most aliens only communicate with your livestock," the Mechamorph. "Now if you will excuse me I must repair my warp drive," the Mechamorph said.
"Can we help?" Ben asked him.
"Well…I suppose. Very well," he answered and soon Ben and Daisuke were helping repair the ship.
"This is probably the worst date you've ever had huh?" Ben asked Daisuke.
"No. not the worst. This was my first date, and it was pretty fun," she answered and Ben smiled at her. Soon the ship had been repaired.
"Well, off I go," the Mechamorph said.
"What about this thing?" Daisuke asked pointing at Ship. "Doesn't he blorp back into your body or something?" she asked.
"Blorp? That is not how it works. And besides you two have had such a wonderful bonding experience. He's yours now," the Mechamorph told Daisuke as the ship flew into the sky before it blasted off.
"So are you going to keep him?" Ben asked as Ship panted like a dog. Soon the trio were walking down the road.
"This part of the date I don't like," Daisuke said.
"Can't you fly us home?" Ben asked.
"And risk someone seeing us?" Daisuke asked him back as a truck drove past them and Ship chased the truck. "So much for bonding," she mumbled before she held Ben's hand and both walked off after Ship as the sun started to rise.
