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.

AUTHOR'S NOTE OF GLORY: Happy fifty chapters everyone! Recently, I set up a poll that said which two characters in my story are your favorite…though…currently I do not know where it is…but anyways…I must give a warm thanks to all of you who stuck with me for all of these months. And I hope you like this chapter! I did!

---------

Stinkfly snorted, typical, it was already five minutes into lunch time and her friends were still not there yet.

Right now, Stinkfly was in the academy's cafeteria. It was, as usual, buzzing with students who had just got out of their classes and were now sitting down to eat with their friends.

Except for her.

Her wandering eyestalks gazed the cafeteria in hopes that she could find some table that had one of her friends at it. As her eyestalks searched for a table, she briefly passed other tables that had other students sitting at them. Some had jocks while others had emo kids, some had the druggies and one even had the theatre kids too.

But no, she did not find a table that she could relate with.

Grumbling a little, she walked over to a nearby empty table and sat at it, hoping her friends could hurry up and sit with her.

As she was eating, she felt dumb and lonesome. The surrounding chatter of other students bore down at her like an intense fog as she was eating. She felt separated from the world because she wasn't adding to that chatter.

Suddenly, a voice popped in and startled her.

"May I sit with you?"

Stinkfly looked up to see a smiling face with cheerful eyes. He was sort of short and he had an array of colors that were mainly green and black. Out of is head came funny protrusions. Stinkfly was hesitant at first but she had to agree because she didn't want to sit by herself any longer.

"Sure," she said.

The person sat himself right next to her. Before he started eating he held out his hand and said, "My name is Ditto! Pleasure to meet you, miss and thank you for your generosity for letting me sit with you."

Dumbfounded, Stinkfly took the hand of Ditto and shook it. He had a strong grip.

"Er…my name is Stinkfly…"

"Charmed." replied Ditto.

Ditto then began eating his food with tenderness. With table manners that would make a chef proud, he took a fork and stabbed his salad with it. Raising, it to his mouth, he bit into it and began to chew it slowly. After several moments of chewing, he swallowed it and he took another bite.

After staring at him eating, it then occurred to Stinkfly that she too had food in front of her. Feeling ashamed about her table manners, she awkwardly grabbed her fork and punched her salad with it. She then slowly raised it to her mouth and inserted it in.

It felt weird using a fork. Normally, she would grab it by the handful and stuff it in her mouth. That always made her guy friends that she normally sat with laugh.

After a minute or two, a tall person appeared from the cafeteria line and came up to her table. He had rather large ears and had no eyes on his face. The only eyes he did have were all over his body. He looked like a cross between a bat and a lizard.

"Hello Ditto…" he said in a quiet voice.

"Ah! Eyeguy, sit down, sit down! Stinkfly, I want you to meet my friend and partner Eyeguy."

Stinkfly cleared her throat and said, "hello."

Eyeguy nodded his head to her and he sat down his tray on the table.

Ditto leaned towards Stinkfly and whispered, "He's really shy…especially around girls…however he is a nice guy and when you get to know him better…he really opens up!"

Stinkfly nodded and watched Eyeguy sat down. However, that was easier said then done for when Eyeguy pulled up his chair it hit his foot. Eyeguy squeezed all of his eyes and clutched his foot and made grunting noises. While he was clutching his foot, he accidentally tipped over and fell on top of his chair. The chair then too tipped over and fell down along with Eyeguy. Eyeguy quickly got back up and he set his chair back up. Several people near by laughed at him while he was sitting down in his chair. Eyeguy acted like nothing ever happened.

"…he's a bit clumsy…" continued Ditto.

"Ah…" said Stinkfly.

Ditto turned to Eyeguy and said, "Eyeguy, what was the homework that Sensei Wildvine gave us?"

Eyeguy's eyes blinked before he said, "I believe it was over Chapter 6, numbers 31-59 odd."
"Ah yeah, right, due tomorrow?"

"Yes."

Ditto was about to say something else when somebody else sat down with Stinkfly, Ditto and Eyeguy.

Stinkfly saw the person and immediately identified the species as a Megawatt.

The Megawatt quickly sat down and began to talk in an incredibly fast voice.

"Higuyshow'sitgoing?Greatdayisn'tit?Yepyep!GreatdayGreatday!"

The Megawatt head spun at Stinkfly and grinned a jack-o-lantern like smile.

"Ohwhoareyou?Youlookcute?What'syourname?WhoissheDitto?Who?Who?Who?"

Ditto cleared his throat and said, "Stinkfly, this is Buzzshock. Buzzshock, Stinkfly. As you can see he is a very…energetic person…"

"Yepyepyepyepyep!" said Buzzshock quickly, "I'moneofthefasteststudentsinthiscamp!OnlyXLR8isfaster!"

"Which reminds me…"said Ditto, "Eyeguy, do you have the battery pack?"

Eyeguy took out a rather large battery pack that had a red wire and a black wire coming out of it. He leaned over to Buzzshock and held it out in front of him.

"Alright Buzzshock," said Eyeguy, "I'm attaching the battery pack right now."

"Okay!" said Buzzshock quickly.

Eyeguy then placed the battery pack on the back of Buzzshock, he then took the black wire and placed the end of it to one shoulder and he took the red wire and connected it to the other shoulder. When the connection was completed, the battery pack made a dingy sound and then began to hum quietly.

"Ahh…" said Buzzshock, "Sometimes…it feels so good to have that thing on…"

Stinkfly was confused, once again, Ditto leaned over and said, "Buzzshock has a large amount of electrical energy that is wasted sometimes. So, we invented a device that "sucks" some of the energy from him. This way, we have a charged battery and a calmer Buzzshock."

Stinkfly nodded her head but she still stared at Buzzshock in a perplexed manner.

Buzzshock turned to Ditto and said, "so what did you think of the quiz that Sensei Wildvine gave us?"

Ditto swallowed the food in his mouth before saying, "it wasn't too bad…though I was thrown off by that friction problem…we haven't studied friction for a month and he throws that in. Sort of makes me mad if you ask me…"

Buzzshock nodded his head up and down quickly, "I know! I was doing great until I got to that problem and my mind was like uhhh…crap…I forgot how to utilize friction in my equation!"

Ditto raised his fork gleefully and said, "even though I didn't get that question, I did get the one multiple choice question about planets and gravity."

Buzzshock twisted his head to the side and said, "which one was that?"

"Oh you know…the one that said…"you have two planets: Planet A is twice the mass and volume of Planet B. Which one has the greater gravitational force?" So I said that Planet B had the greater gravitational force."

"What?!" exclaimed Buzzshock who looked confused, "but that doesn't make any sense! Planet A is twice the mass and volume of Planet B. Clearly, Planet A has the greater gravitational force."

Before Ditto could respond to this comment, a fourth person joined Stinkfly's table. This one was a Gourmand. He wore rather long, plaid socks and a shirt with a vest over it. He looked rather sporty. He sat down to Ditto's right and Eyeguy's left. His tray consisted of a variety of interesting objects including what appeared to be part of a car, a wrench, and aluminum foil and in his plastic cup was what appeared to be oil.

"Hallo everybody!" he said in a foreign accent, "Guten tag?"

"I'm doing alright Upchuck, "said Ditto eyeing Upchuck's lunch food with a slight smile on his face, "but I don't think I can say the same thing about Buzzshock…"

"Vy?" said Upchuck who took his aluminum foil and began to munch on it like a rabbit eats a carrot.

"Ugh…I think I messed up my quiz badly! I think I got a C or a D!"

"ah…yah…" said Upchuck who was nodding his head, "I didn't think I did so vell…vat's the vord?...either..."

"We were just talking about the question about the two planets and which of them had the greater gravitational force," said Ditto who took a drink from his tea.

"Yah…I know vhich one you are talking about…"

Upchuck took a drink from his oil and set the cup down, he then said, "I vrote down that Planet B had the greater grav-it-ta-tion-al force."

"Agh! Why?" said Buzzshock who had his hands on top of his head in a stressed like manner.

Before either Ditto or Upchuck could respond, Eyeguy stepped in and answered Buzzshock's question.

"It all has to do with the Gravitational Force equation. GF G constant times mass 1 over radius squared (Gmass/r2). The radius of Planet A is twice the length of Planet B. Thus the denominator in the equation for Planet A is four times larger than Planet B. This lowers the numerator value significantly. It is like comparing the planet Jupiter in Earth's solar system to this planet that we are on right now. Even though it is about eleven times higher than this planet, its gravity is only about 2.25 times greater. This is because A. it is made of mostly gas and thus it is lighter than you would expect it to be, and B. the radius is larger."

Ditto, Upchuck and Buzzshock nodded in agreement. Buzzshock said, "ah…now it makes sense…"

Stinkfly did not comprehend anything that was just said.

Upchuck then noticed her and said, "Ah! And who ist this fine girl?"

Ditto for the third time introduced Stinkfly, "This my find Gourmand friend, is Stinkfly."

Stinkfly waved her hand at him and Upchuck bowed his head.

"It ist mein pleasure een meeting you Stinkfly."

Ditto once again eyed Upchuck's food and said, "are we once again on a diet Upchuck?"

Upchuck sighed and made a sad face that made Stinkfly's heart melt.

"Yah…my team ees forcing me to be een feet condition. They don't want a fat member…"

"Wait…" said Stinkfly who had at this point forgotten about eating her food, "you're not on the same team together?"

All four of them looked at Stinkfly in a cool silence, Stinkfly once again felt dumb but then.

"Sadly no," said Ditto who looked as sad as Upchuck and his pathetic lunch, "the only people here who are on the same team is Eyeguy and me, Upchuck and Buzzshock are separated from the rest of us…"

"Then how did you meet?"

"It vas on a…series…of coinc-coninci…things…that brought us together…" said Upchuck who then began to eat his car part.

"We were hoping to be on a team when we first met each other but it didn't happen," said Buzzshock who also looked sad.

"Instead," said Ditto who looked brighter, "we formed our own secret team!"

"…and what is the name of your secret team?" said Stinkfly curiously.

"WE ARE…" said Ditto, Upchuck and Buzzshock, "THE ENIGMA FORCE!"

The three of them then did random poses. Ditto's pose was him in an attacking position with his arms up like he was about to karate chop something. Upchuck's pose was him with his arms pointing in the same angle and direction that reminded Stinkfly of a disco like move. Buzzshock's pose was him crossing both arms and placing them on top of his chest. His hands made the peace sign.

Eyeguy did nothing.

Ditto saw that and whispered, "Eyeguy…you got to do the pose…"

Eyeguy looked like he would rather not to but he didn't really have a choice. Slowly, he raised his arms up until they were at their maximum height, then he twisted his hands so they were parallel to the ground.

"Enigma Force," he said quietly.

All four of them lowered their hand positions. Ditto then said, "together we will triumph over any puzzle!"

"Over any riddle!" said Buzzshock.

"Over any mystery!" said Upchuck.

"…over any challenge…" said Eyeguy quietly.

"We are the team that instead of using sheer power…we use sheer wits!" said Ditto who had a triumphant smile on his face, "Role call!"

Upchuck did his pose again and said, "Member Upchuck. Status on team: lock picker, chemical expert and die bombe maker!"

Buzzshock did his pose and said, "Member Buzzshock. Status on team: scout, weapon's expert and creator of unusual items that are seen fit for the call of duty!"

Eyeguy didn't do his pose again but he did say, "Member Eyeguy. Status on team: mechanic, electricity engineer, fighter and safe cracker."

Ditto then did his pose and said, "Member Ditto. Status on team: leader, hacker, disguiser, and maker of plans."

"We are the Enigma Force!" said Ditto, Upchuck and Buzzshock said again.

When they lowered their poses, Stinkfly laughed because of the absurdness of the situation.

"You guys are so funny!" she said with a large smile on her face.

"We are quite good at that too," said Ditto who resumed his eating and acted like he didn't do anything silly at all in the first place.

"So your abilities…" said Stinkfly whose curiosity and wonder for these four strange boys kept growing by the minute, "do they have any relation whatsoever with your powers?"

"Vell…" said Upchuck, "not really…"

"You see," continued Ditto, "most of our abilities are earned through hard work and determination. Like our intelligence. Unlike in Grey Matter or Upgrade's case where they were gifted with intelligence, we fought hard to be as smart as we can be. But sometimes, we use our powers when we do our abilities."

"For example…?" said Stinkfly.

"Like me!" said Upchuck who left his bland meal alone, "I have ze ability to eat very large objects and regurgitate them out quickly in a super…heated…form. Thees applies to my ability as a chemical expert."

"And why is that?"

"Vell…let's say the Enigma Force needed a material in eets pure form…say…iron oxide…I have zee ability to eat an object that has iron oxide een it and…separate…it into its pure form. I can do all of thees een my own stomach!"

"Really?" said Stinkfly.

"Yah! But my bombe making skills and lock picking skills have nothing to do vith my ability to eat large things."

"Ah…and Eyeguy…do any of your abilities have something to do with your powers?"

Eyeguy's eyes looked up and stared at Stinkfly, he was clearly surprised that he was being called on by a girl. He took a breath before he said, "yes, I do in fact. My large ears can pick up very quiet sound waves. This goes well with my safe cracking skills. If I put my ear up to the wall of a safe, I can hear through the thick steel and can hear the clicks when the dial turns to its correct number."

Stinkfly nodded her head and said, "but you also said that you were a mechanic and electric engineer…now I don't mean to be rude…but couldn't terrible accidents happen because of your clumsiness?"

Eyeguy blushed before saying, "my body maybe clumsy, but my hands are not."

It was here that Ditto interjected, "that is very true, very true indeed. You should see him in action when he is fixing a vehicle. He gets the job done well and fast. The way he fixes things is like watching an artist paint."

Eyeguy blushed again at this comment and said, "…it's really not like that."

Stinkfly smiled and turned to Buzzshock, she then said, "and what about you? Do your abilities reflect your power?"

Buzzshock smiled a toothy smile and said, "Yep! They certainly are! Like my position as scout on the Enigma Force!"

"How so?"

"Well, because I am made out of almost pure electricity, I have the ability to sense discharges throughout the area that I am in. All organisms emit small discharges within their own environment. The charges are so strong, that if I close my eyes, I can "see" where everyone is. For example, in this room there are currently 75 students."

"Wow! That's amazing!"

"I know! And that is how that ability can help me with being a scout, I can sense when something is coming from a distance and thus warn the group."
"What about your other two abilities? Weapons expert and what was it? Creating items?"

"Yeah, they have nothing to do with my electricity power. Over the years, I have studied weapons, and thus I know the potential and capability of each of them. Also, I am very good at making random inventions."

Stinkfly nodded and finally faced the fourth and final member of the team, Ditto.

"What about you Ditto?"

Ditto placed his fork down and took a large drink from his water, when he set it down, he said, "my powers have nothing to do with my abilities."

"Really?" said Stinkfly with respect.

"Yep, I have worked hard towards my goals ever since I was very young. Now, I am a master of disguises, one of the best in hacking, and great at making plans for the Enigma Force."

"What do you mean master of disguises?"

"I have a variety of costumes and make up that can disguise my features and make me somebody else. I am also good at changing my voice so that people won't recognize who I am if they hear me…for example…if I talked like this…"

Ditto's voice changed so much that it reminded Stinkfly of Ripjaws.

"…I sound insecure and shy…" continued Ditto, "if I talked like this…"

Now Ditto's voice reminded Stinkfly of Heatblast.

"…I sound like a haughty and confident person. I can even change my voice so it can sound like somebody else's…for example…my name is Four Arms and I am the prince of my planet."

Stinkfly was shocked for that was what Four Arms actually sounded like, the voice was so on the spot that it would have fooled Stinkfly if she didn't know that was actually Ditto speaking.

"Wow! That's amazing! All of you have a wide variety of talents…but…they are all so unusual…what's the purpose of them?"

Before any of them could respond, a voice called out from behind Stinkfly.

"Hey Stinkfly! Why don't you sit with us instead of with those dorks!"

Stinkfly turned around and saw the group of guys she normally sat with during lunch time. They were all beckoning her to sit with them at an empty table. It then occurred to Stinkfly that she was disgusted at herself on who she was hanging out with. Looking back at it, she was wondering where she went wrong…

"Ah go sit by yourselves you pricks!" she yelled, "I'd rather sit with these cool guys then be with you!"

She turned around and said to the Enigma Force, "So…what do you guys want to do after lunch?"
