The 10 year old redhead tightened her eyes lids, and slightly groaned. She opened her eyes and looked up at the purple and gray ceiling. Gwen, realizing that she didn't recognize the room, quickly lifted herself up. She started to panic and looked around at the unfamiliar room.

"Mom? Dad?"

"They're not here." She gasped in surprised, turning her head to the direction of the speaker. She wasn't expecting to see a boy her age, with cold black eyes.

Chapter 3- Intro- The Reason

Gwen heard noises but excused them, tightening hr eyes and cuddling in a more comfortable position. The only thing on her mind was sleep. She was close to falling asleep when a loud inhuman scream was heard. Her eyes snapped open as she sprang up, covering her ears.

'That sounds like Kevin!' "Kevin?"

The echo-echo yell ended and more noises were heard from the hallway before a loud crash was heard. She exited the room, calling out for her boyfriend. "Kevin?"

She jogged into the hallway, still calling his name. She made it passed the corner when she noticed the large hole in the wall.

Fear reflected off her eyes as she made her way to the carter. She peeked outside, watching a battle play before her. A moth like creature disappeared and had frozen Kevin.

"Alright. Start talking." Kevin's opponent commanded. "Who are you? What are you? How do you know me and what have you done with the girls?"

'Girls?' Gwen thought in confusion. 'I know Kevin could be a charmer but he's never done anything with girls before. Especially in the tone he's questioning in.'

Before the creature could get his answer, Kevin broke free from that solid stance. Gwen smiled in relief.

"Alright then. You asked for it."

But the girl formed a mana tile underneath her, shouting out "Leave him alone" before unleashing a mana disk at her opponent.

He turned to her, looking displeased. "Another one? You know 2 against 1 isn't really fair."

"Well you're going to have to deal with it. When you mess with him, you mess with me." Gwen said in a strong voice.

"I don't like fighting pretty girls." Ben said. "But I'll do it if I have to."

"And you should never look away from your opponent!" Kevin's voice came in and before Big Chill knew it, he was under a one arm choke lock with a colorful beam striking him from behind.

"" Ben yelled before Gwen's boyfriend stopped and dropped him. The moth closed its eyes, passing out before it collided with the ground. After a few seconds, the moth returned to its original human form.

'So it was him…' The girl thought with narrowed eyes. 'I wonder what he was doing around here.'

"Time to finish him off." Kevin stated before he flew towards the unconscious hero. Her eyes widened and she quickly grabbed his arm with her mana. "Kevin wait!"

The male turned to her with an impatience gaze. "What?"

"Maybe he can help us fix you." She said, trying to reason.

He only snorted. "Please! He said he doesn't even remember me!"

"But still! We should try!" The female said. "We have nothing to lose, only gain!"

Kevin looked at his girlfriend, looking down when he saw her pleading look. She always got her way. "Fine."

The girl smiled.

(Scene Change)

"Huh? What happened?" Ben asked himself as he started to wake up. He was about to use one of his hands to rub his eye but realized he couldn't. That's when his eyes widened and looked down. He noticed that his arms and torso were wrapped around by something pink. He looked back up, noticing that the creature he was fighting and his companion were staring down at him. The redhead was the reason why he was tied up, seeing that the pink stuff led to her hand and the monster had his crystal arm pointed at him, ready to shoot at any moment.

"Tell us how to change him back." Gwen said.

He raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"

Kevin growled. "Told you he's just messing with us. Let's just finish him off."

Ben looked annoyed. "I'm serious! I've never met you two in my life!"

"Strike 1" The larger male said, his beam's light increasing.

"Besides you two have to tell me what you've done with the missing girls!" Tennyson countered.

"Strike 2"

"Wait!" Gwen said, interrupting before giving him a confused gaze. "What girls? And what makes you think we have anything to do with them?"

"First of all, I was here investigating about the disappearances when all of a sudden, ugly here attacks me!" Ben said, glaring at the mixed alien teen who only glared back. "Ironically, you two attack me in a building where the girls disappeared. Enough evidence for you?"

"Look. I'm busy trying to find a cure to change him back into his human form, which was something you caused in the first place, and now you're accusing us of kidnapping girls! Does it look like we have time to be kidnapping girls?" The female countered.

Ben looked at the creature. "Probably not." He sighed. "Great. I wasted my time tonight searching for clues and couldn't even find one."

"Now that hat's taken care of, tell me how to change me back!" Kevin demanded.

"How many times do I have to say it? I've never met you until now and I didn't even know this wasn't your true form!" The brown haired boy yelled in frustration.

"Don't lie to me!" The mutated male shouted. "We saw you use the same aliens you used last time! And if you haven't noticed they're the same ones I'm made out of!"

"That's not possible! I'm the only one able to do that since I'm the only one with the Omnitrix!"

"Exactly! That means it has to be you unless you have a twin brother we're not aware of!"

"Guys stop!" The girl said. "Though we're making progress could we please stop the yelling?"

They stopped for a moment before Ben said quietly, "I don't get it. I'm the only one with the Omnitrix. How is it possible?"

"Look." Gwen started. "I have an idea. Since you're investigating disappearances, we could help you find the missing girls. I'm a great tracker by the way."

"What?" Kevin yelled, surprised at his girlfriends suggestion.

"But in return you help us find a cure for Kevin. And if that isn't a good trade then listen to reason. We're both going to be looking for the same guy so might as well take him down together. We'll have a better chance of defeating him this way." The redhead concluded.

Both guys looked like they were processing what she said in their heads.

Ben sighed. "Fine." He looked to Kevin.

The girl placed a hand on his arm. "Please Kevin."

The yellow eyed creature sighed. "Alright. But I won't like it."

"Great. Since we're working together could you not point that thing at me?" The brunt said, looking at Kevin's arm. "And could you let me go now? My legs are falling asleep."

Gwen released her pink mana. "Thanks." He said as he lifted himself up.

"I'm Gwen Tennyson. And this is Kevin Levin." Gwen said as she offered her hand.

Ben, however, looked shocked. "Gwen Tennyson?"

She raised an eyebrow while Kevin narrowed his eyes. "Yes?"

The brunt just blurted it out. "You're my cousin!"

This left the couple shocked.
