Well, I'm on to chapter 3 now. Thank you, acosta perez jose ramiro and Emerald Shapeshifter 777 for reviewing my story. :D Does the chapter name have you worried? And don't worry, I won't kill anyone - yet. :) And again, I'm only using the original ten aliens, not the others.
Again, I don't own Ben 10 and I'll probably never will.

Chapter 3: Error!

Ben could hear voices in his head. Voices that sounded familiar, yet he didn't know who they belonged to.

What's wrong, boy?

Whatever it is, it's hurting him.

This is really freaking me out.

Help me!

They just disappeared!

What the-?

What the heck is going on?!

Do you think we'll disappear, too?

Ben felt his eyes warming up. Those voices belonged to the aliens on the Omnitrix, but they sounded so . . . helpless. Scared. Confused. The ten-year-old boy clenched his fist in anger. How dare he do this to them?

'They're suffering because of me,' he muttered angrily. 'If I hadn't found this stupid computer thing, everything would've been alright. No one would be harmed.' Then a thought entered his mind. All this time he thought of the aliens as pieces of DNA, but now that he actually thought about it . . . were they real?

'Yes, they are,' Ben whispered, looking at the Omnitrix, which was still glowing more than usual with the wire hooked on it. He looked at the monitor with a look of determination in his eyes. 'I gotta stop this thing from extracting the aliens.'

Using his free hand, he started pressing all the buttons: the red one, the orange one and the green one. He pressed them all again and again and again . . .

Suddenly, the screen of the monitor flashed a brilliant bright red color, then black, then red and so on.

The female voice spoke out:

Error! Error! Error! Error!

The voice went on, and Ben continued to press the buttons.

'This has got to work!' he cried, pressing the buttons harder than before. 'This has got to work!'

Heatblast opened his eyes. Why did he get the feeling that he was floating? Nonetheless, he liked it. He felt like he was flying. He felt free and independent. It felt good.

'Heatblast, snap out of it!' a hissy voice called, and Heatblast felt his face getting smacked by a big tail. He held his head, the flying feeling having already left him faster than you can say 'XLR8'.

'What was that for?' Heatblast asked, looking at the Kinceleran. He realized that she was floating in midair, and he was as well. 'Where are we?'

XLR8 crossed her arms. 'I have no idea. Those rings of light must've transported us here. You were daydreaming all of a sudden, and I couldn't wake you up, so-'

'So I was the first victim of the tail thrash,' Heatblast muttered. 'Lucky me.'

'Not only I have endured months of torture by living with you fools in the Omnitrix, but now I have to stay in this void for goodness knows how long with you once more!' a familiar ghostly voice said. Heatblast turned and frowned in disgust as he saw the figure of Ghostfreak floating nearby.

'Hey, I didn't exactly plan this, okay?' the Pyronite retorted. 'I'd rather be smacked a thousand times in the face by XLR8's tail than stay here with you!'

Ghostfreak clenched his claws and was floating to where Heatblast was floating to beat the heck out of him when a floating upside-down Upgrade came between them.

'Okay guys, calm down,' he said, waving his arms that signified peace. 'There's nothing to fight about. Just relax.'

'He's right, you know,' Diamondhead's voice came behind Ghostfreak. 'If we work together as a team, we can figure out how we can get outta here.'

'Work together? Team? I don't think so, Petrosapien,' Ghostfreak said, crossing his arms.

'Ghostfreak, unless you want to spend the rest of your life stuck in this void, we have to work together.'

'Of course . . . when a Vulpimancer starts to fly.'

A tiny but hearable voice was heard from Upgrade's 'shoulder', 'I think you should swallow your words, Ghostfreak,' and Grey Matter appeared, floating next to Upgrade, his tiny finger pointed upwards.

'Grey Matter, you're finally awake!' Upgrade cried, and his head turned upwards to see what his little friend was pointing at. Above the alien's heads, Wildmutt was flying, or floating, in his case. He looked very relaxed and carefree, as if he was on vacation. The aliens looked quite amused at the Vulpimancer's relaxed form.

Ghostfreak was not amused, however.

'He is not flying. He is merely floating, just like the rest of us.'

'Same difference,' came a familiar voice. Fourarms appeared next to Heatblast and XLR8, Ripjaws and Stinkfly closely floating behind. The two females wore expressions of confusion.

'How come we're the only ones here in this void?' Ripjaws asked, looking around. 'Cannon Bolt and the others are not here with us.'

Grey Matter was about to answer when a red light flashed, and a female voice was heard:

Error! Error! Error! Error!

The voice went on and the red flashing lights went on and off, on and off.

'Now what?' Heatblast muttered.

Sensing that something was going to happen, the aliens snapped into defense mode. They were ready to kick some butt.

The flashing lights continued to go on and off and the voice continued to say the word 'Error!'.

Suddenly, Upgrade started screaming, for some reason. The nine aliens looked to see what was wrong with him, but (even Ghostfreak) were shocked at what they saw.

The mechanical 'skin' on Upgrade's body were falling off him, revealing pale skin. His body started to get smaller and smaller until he was about Ripjaw's height.

Stinkfly suddenly cried, 'XLR8, what the heck's happening to your tail?!'

The aliens (apart from Upgrade) looked to see the Kinceleran's tail shrinking and growing more smaller. XLR8 screamed. Not because of fright, but of pain. She dropped to her knees, screaming loudly. Her claws were taking the shape of hands and her helmet broke and revealed long blue hair with the tips black that went to her waist.

'Oh my-' Grey Matter started, when he too dropped to his tiny knees. Just then, the Galvan's body started to grow bigger, bigger than his usual size. Short brown hair started to grow on his head.

Then Fourarms and Diamondhead started screaming as well. The Tetramand's two lower arms started to get smaller and smaller until they were no more. His two lower eyes were now gone and he started to shrink until his body was the same height as Upgrade. The crystal rocks on Diamondhead's body were falling off, and they revealed skin just like Upgrade's.

'What is going on?!' Heatblast shouted, watching his five friends with shock, confusion and concern. Then he heard Ripjaws screaming.

Ripjaws's large teeth started to grow smaller until they were human size, and her scaly skin started to look like Upgrade and Diamondhead's skin.

A growl was heard from Wildmutt. His paws were covering his face, and when he moved his paws away, they revealed a pair of eyes. Two, pained, electric green eyes. Wildmutt's fur was falling of as well, and his arms and legs were starting to take shape of a human.

Heatblast looked at Stinkfly, who then cried in agony. Her beautiful wings were shrinking until they were gone, and her eyestalks shrunk into her head and only a pair of citrine-colored eyes were there.

'Oh no, what's happening to them?!' the Pyronite cried. Then, he felt a surge of pain through his body. Heatblast doubled up in midair and started to scream. He could feel his skin falling away, and his eyes started to change as well. The flames all over his pain-filled body started to leave him and his head was hurting as he felt something coming out. The Pyronite managed to open his new eyes and looked at his friends, who were screaming and doubled over. However, he didn't see the Ectonurite among them. Where was he?

Then he heard the familiar ghostly voice, groaning and whimpering, obviously hurting like the rest of them. Heatblast could not hear Ghostfreak's voice anymore. Instead, he heard heavy breathing. Except it sounded like it was coming from . . . a female?

Heatblast had no time to think about this, as the female voice spoke out the word 'Error!' more loudly this time. Suddenly, a bright red light shone in the Pyronite's new eyes, and the female voice spoke out:

DANGER! DANGER!

Heatblast felt the light swallow him, and the cries of his friends faded away.

The wire suddenly fell from the Omnitrix, moving around the floor as if it was ready to explode. Ben continued to press the buttons, and the monitor screen stayed red. The female voice spoke out again, the two words appearing on the screen:

DANGER! DANGER!

Suddenly, the monitor started to shake violently, forcing Ben to back away for safety. The shaking got so vicious, Ben moved right out of the cupboard, covering the Omnitrix with his hand to protect it. Then, a brilliant red light shone all around in the RV, and the ten-year-old felt himself ducking for cover under the table. An explosion was heard, and Ben's head hit the table and pain filled him. Just before he fell unconscious, he heard a familiar voice:

'Where are we?'

Chapter 3 is now done! If you don't like the bits where the aliens were 'changing', I apologize. OK? Also, there's a hint in this chapter that has got something to do with one of the alien's turning teen. That will be revealed in the next chappie! Reviews are welcome:)
