Note: first fanfic, will improve as I go along, I have been a gamemaster on my past RP site so the action should be good, and I do not own Ben 10 or anything that is remotely like Ben 10.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I am slightly sick soo….yeah….I do not know how good this chapter will be but after this it'll be good again.
This question has been bugging me ever since chapter 2 started. Why are Stinkfly, Ripjaw and XLR8 girls and not guys? 3 main reasons.
Do you know how dull it would be to write a story about 10 guys?
I wanted to make sure that all ten characters were different or unique. In order to help with that process, some of them had to be females.
And lastly and most scientifically correct. The DNA was copied from them and was given to Ben. Thus, if Gwen had gotten it (wasn't there a story about this?), all of the aliens would have been female. Also not only was the DNA copied, but in one aspect the body itself. The selected aliens are chosen because they are the best of their race. So we need, their DNA and their body. Okay….I don't know where I am going with this…
……..
Just deal with it:P

Grey Matter sighed in his Adv. Chemistry classroom.
Stupid idiots. They are sooooo slow, why the hell does it take them so long to figure out a damn problem?
Grey Matter was bored to tears. His bulging eyes drooped as he tried to listen to the teacher's droning voice.
"…and can anyone give me the full name of K2SO4?"
Of course no one answered and in despite of himself, Grey Matter slowly rose his hand.
"Ah…yes Mathew?" said the teacher.
"The answer is obviously Potassium Sulfate." Said Grey Matter looking bored as ever, "And stop calling me Matthew!"
The teacher shook his head, "Mathew you must learn to like your name…"
"I HATE IT!"
The teacher shrugged and returned to the board teaching. The class behind Grey Matter sniggered but Grey Matter didn't care.
"Now class I want you to at least try to answer the next question, okay, who can answer…"
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Instead of the door opening, a ghostly figure floated in. Its eye looked at the classroom and then at the teacher. The ghost then floated to him and gave the teacher a piece of paper. The teacher took it in hand, read it, smiled and showed the ghost one of the empty desks. The teacher then cleared his throat and said,
"Well class it seems that we have a new student!" he looked at the piece of paper again, "Meet Penelope."
Grey Matter's jaw drop,
HOLY SHIT! SHE'S NAKED!
Apparently, Grey Matter was not the only one to reach this nude conclusion. The males in the classroom were looking her up and down, however not knowing where to really look, some looked at her tail, others her chest, and some her eyeball. Mathew shuttered and forced himself to look at the teacher again. Apparently, neither the teacher nor Penelope noticed that she was indeed naked. The teacher droned onwards,
"Now we will have a lab today and I will split you into pairs, lets see…ah! We'll first have Mathew and Penelope at table one."
Grey Matter's eyes were bulging (and that was saying something), the thought of dealing with this ghost freak was enough to send him chills down his little spine.
So Grey Matter grudgingly got out his little desk and started walking across the hard floor. To normal size creatures, the room was not very big, but to him, it was the size of a gym. He looked down the long desk hallway and sighed, no one helped him in getting across rooms, the only one that does that is his friend Upgrade. Everyone else does not help him because they think of him as an arrogant son of a bitch (though he couldn't see why they would think that). So it came to a real surprise and shock to him when he heard a ghastly voice behind him.
"Neeeeed a little help?"
Grey Matter turned around, there floating above him was the ghost like alien.
Dumbfound, Grey Matter replied,
"Huh?"
"Your siiize, it is clearly slowing you down in reaching your target. Surly you have noooticed this by noooow."
Grey Matter couldn't help but analyze this creature. She spoke, but no mouth move, and every time she did, she would sometimes make her vowels longer and her constantans sharper. Jaw still dropped, Grey Matter nodded vaguely.
He was finally shocked back to his senses when he was picked up by a chilling hand. He was too scared to speak, move, and even to whimper as she carried him across the room. She spoke again as if they were having a cup of tea.
"The naaame's Ghostfreak, though my real name is Penelope. I like my other name better, yours?"
Grey Matter found his voice.
"W-Well, my real name is Mathew but I like to be called G-Grey Matter."
Apparently, Ghostfreak did not notice that Grey Matter was scared, for she simply floated on. When they reached the lab, Ghostfreak gently placed Grey Matter down. Grey Matter felt a little woozy but was able to recover. Ghostfreak looked at him with her single eye.
"So what dooo we do noooow?"
"What do you mean?" Grey Matter replied.
"Your small size prohibits you to even lift up a beaker, how doooo we even work?"
"Well usually, I work out the lab and figure out how to do it, I also work out these easy problems. The person who I am working with gets to actually work the lab. And that person will be you."
Ghostfreak clasped her hands together, "Excellent, I'm a real hands on type of girl."
Grey Matter didn't know what she meant by that so he just smiled and nodded.
So they began on the lab, with Ghostfreak mixing the solutions and Grey Matter figuring out lab questions. After awhile, Ghostfreak said,
"So why are yoooou here?"
Grey Matter looked at her with his bulging eyes, "I am here because I wanted to prove to my kind that I am brave and not weak."
He returned to the problem that he was working on. Ghostfreak continued to look at him while she was heating up the solution. So they sat there for 30 minutes not talking to each other doing what they were suppose to be doing. It wasn't for awhile until they started talking again.
Behind them on another lab, were two occupants. They were having a conversation that was loud enough for Grey Matter to hear.
"…oh Yrg, I love you soo much!"
"yes Arg I love you too!"
Grey Matter, who couldn't help that he have heard it, snorted.
"Whaat?"
Grey Matter looked back up at her, "excuse me?"
"Why did you snort?"
Grey Matter looked at her weirdly, then he realized who she was talking about and said, "oh…that…uh…well….I always thought…", he saw the piercing eye on her forehead contracting as if staring him down, "…that love….is…uh….sort of redundant." He finished meekly, normally he is bossy and full of energy. However, been stared down by this ghost sort of squashed that completely.
Ghostfreak continued looking at him, then the bell rang. The teacher's voice rang out with it, "Okay class! Turn in your papers to my front desk!"
Ghostfreak did not move, she then said to Grey Matter before floating out the wall,
"I liiike you Grey Matteeer, thaat is why I'm going to kill you last."
Grey Matter was left speechless yet again.
