Chapter 6:
Cause for celebration
The game was going well: the girls were holding their own against their common foe, or at least that's what they thought. 'I know they'll fall for this trick again.' The mummy thought after a couple of bounces, and the launched it over the net.
"Looks good, Tannis." Elsa commented after putting her hands down when she saw the wrapping. The girls and guys watched as it went over to the net and to the other side.
"I'll make it look bad." Tug muttered under his breath, and pressed a button on a red remote not knowing that there was one that knew his plan from the start. Once it did the sphere itself went straight up: missing one of the opponents on the way.
"That ball is loco." Miguel stated as the ball in play flew above him. This action caused the mummy to stare in awe at what happened, and did not react until it started to pull her as well.
"WHOA!" She shouted in alarm before being dragged after it. This angered the honorable ref, but before he could do anything about that the eyes to the right arm warned him of a fast moving object.
"That's out of bounds." He informed before seeing what the eyes to his right were seeing. He ducked the new found flier and added, "Way out of bounds!" They all watched as she rounded an outstretched branch twenty times over.
"Then it's Calloway's ball." The saboteur said after catching the ball, and laughing about it once it fall from the wrapping. Tennyson saw that the youngest was still up there so he used Eye Guy's leap ability to get from his chair and to the tree she was in.
"Are you alright?" He questioned after setting her from all four stance to sitting on her butt. The creature then carefully unwrapped the wrapped wrappings to apply back to the owner, but as he was doing that one person down below was getting annoyed.
'Honestly, just push her off the tree. I've got a game to win.' The colonel thought as he watched the referee apply the bandages on. There was another that did not like the sight she was seeing for some reason or another.
'Why am I getting so upset that Ben is helping my old friend.' She thought and yet could not shake this foreign feeling from her. Once the bandages were securely fastened he leaped out of the tree with the girl in his arms, placed her on the ground, and she ran to the rest of her team.
'I still feel bad that I lost the ball.' The bandaged blue-eyed beauty thought as she took her new position.
"Don't worry, Tannis. We'll get it back." Elsa said to the newest girl in an encouraging way. The thing she did not want was for the rude boys to hear her, and they did.
"Not unless this battery runs out." The blond said and took his position with his device even though the ball was in their court. Jamal, the skill/speed factor, got ready to serve, and once he did the wolf of the ghouls got ready for it.
"It's all mine!" She shouted to the others in praise that she was about to get the ball back. The main cheater pressed the button with an evil giggle following it. When he did the sphere air-jumped over her. "Huh?" The wolfett questioned before face planting due to poor foot stance.
"I'll save it, Winnie." Sibella stated and got ready for it, but the item acted screwy again by spinning around her four times, and for each time her hair spun around her as well. Ordinarily the alien avenger would have been interested in the vampire's temporary due, but at the moment he was glaring at the boy.
'I wonder if anyone will notice a whole in the field.' Ben thought as he pictured himself activating this forms final attack - a concentrated beam through the chest eye. Surprisingly he was not the only one that felt like that since he saw flames seeping out of the New Yorker's human mouth, and Danny's ghost green eyes turn a icy blue for a moment, but the one thing that he did not know was that there was one guy that did not like this.
'Seriously, Tug. You fear losing that badly that you are willing to cheat in plain sight.' Jamal thought and was deeply insulted by his superior once the ball stopped acting screwy.
"All the way with Calloway!" He shouted with his team's good fortune. They all saw the number '12' for Calloway, but the skilled one still didn't like it at all. The mystical and ecto heroes decided to calm down since they knew they would get theirs soon enough.
"I gotta admit, my fellow dragon knows how to make a red hot." The dragon said after he calmed down. The multi-eyed man saw a possible solution right beside him, and as he worked on opening the lid a conversation could be heard by the boys.
"Prepare for another salvo, Jamal, with our secret weapon." Tug said and revealed the device two other times. The relation of Vince looked at it and wished he could have smashed it and continued to play his way, but he decided to play along…for now.
"Affirmative." He said as honest as he could since he did not want the others of his disdain to this kind of fighting.
'Gotcha.' Ben thought after getting the lid off. 'Now's a good time.' He thought and poured the beverage all over his mouth. Jamal saw this as he threw the ball into the air, and was ready to hit his target until his saw rotted out berries, and sludge drip off of his chin; to make it worse was the fact that he was trying to lick it off with his tongue.
"That's not right." The honest one said and finally hit the ball, but instead of going over, or through the sphere bounced off of the net and into the cheater.
'NO!' He thought as soon as the ball hit him and he lost feeling of the remote. The Phantom saw it coming right at him, but instead of phasing all the way through his body he instead let if phase through his stomach, and left it there; a reversal of the spork that he ate when Walker was trying his imprisonment schemes on the Earth half.
"Nice work, Jamal. Now our remote control is…" Tug accused the server of his loss, but as he was doing that the white haired youth phased his hand into the stomach and started to press a button on the device. "…AWOL!" He finished after seeing the ball bounce over to their actual leader. The ball kept going until it struck it's target.
"Not only did we lose the ball, but I lose my hat." The colonel said as he felt only the hair on his head instead of the military grade head-ware. The youth now in charge of the remote saw another chance as Calloway bent down to pick up his hat. The hero pressed the button causing the sphere to bounce of the man's butt and end at the feet of Jake Long.
"Thanks, Colonel C." Long said after picking up the ball and then added, "It is our serve. Right, Danny?" When he questioned that the boy was spinning the Volleyball around his finger like a Basketball.
"Right, Jake." He said before accidentally pressing the button causing the spinning sphere to slam into the young dragon's face several times over. Eventually the guardian ghost stopped his button and saw the anger of the human shaped animal.
"You're lucky we're on the same side otherwise you wold be rousted." He threatened while passing the fellow hero to give the ball to the wolf. She served it well, so well that Baxter and Jamal reacted a second after it hit their field.
'Finally we're making a comeback.' The hand thought as he placed a 15 above the guy's 17. The floating creature did the same again after another point was made making the score 16-17. Soon the girls were able to get three more points.
"All the way with Calloway!" Grunt cheered before serving the ball. The girls tried, but could not stop it in time.
'So, much for our lead.' The scorekeeper thought as he placed two more numbers on the enemy's count making it 19-19.
"Two more points men. The victory is ours!" Calloway said as he stared at the trophy in his hands with greed. His team stared at him for a moment before agreeing with his claim.
"Yeah, we can beat these girls without military assistance." Tug said as he took his turn as the server. The ball flew over the net easily.
"Wow." Baxter said since he did not know his field leader knew how to serve without cheating. To their surprise the ball did not stay very long since Elsa hopped up and simply tapped it straight down.
"What a spike!" The youngest of the guys said in astonishment as the ball drilled through the ground. After a few moments something caught the ears of the hero.
'This can't be good.' Tennyson thought as he was skyrocketed since his chair was the ball's new target. It was at that moment the colonel decided to get the ball back to their side through what he saw.
"That ball is out of bounds!" He shouted in complaining anger. The moment he said that the referee stand landed back on the ground, broken, but still standing.
'That was wild. Flying without my flight heroes.' The intergalactic hero thought before remembering what happened a few seconds ago. "But it hit in first. Grimwood's ball." He stated since he knew what he said due to the bat-like ears on his head.
"Go go Grimwood." The American Dragon cheered after taking a couple of flags Spud made for him from his jacket pocket. His bench buddy, Matches used his flames to show how he praised the girls. The bad news was that it torched the flag in the hero's right hand.
'Oh man. Now he's…' Matches thought, and wanted to continue of what the creature beside him would do, but instead he received relaxed words.
"It's cool. The things are cheap anyway." He commented before watching the game. Unknown to any of them was that the Grimwood spy was at it again.
'Time for a tag-team.' Winnie thought and jumped onto Elsa's shoulder's and slammed the ball into Jamal and Miguel. The spying ones saw this and they both liked it.
"Those girls are strong, Revolta." The pathetic plant said as they saw the guys were sitting on their butts in surprise over what had just happened.
"Just like their parents, Creeper. Soon I'll be more powerful than all of them." She bellowed back, enjoying the sound of her plan in a nutshell every time she spoke of it. Back on the court the score keep placed a '20' marker on his team.
"This is it, girls." The dragon boy said to them since he knew from gym that in most cases it only took 21 points to win a match.
"Serve up a good one, Sibella." Eye Guy said to the last server of the match as Jake gave her the ball. The chosen female heard him, and decided to give him a reply.
"You bat I will." She said while giving the ref a salute. On the other side Tug pulled a jet pack, which was built by Gretchen, and given to Miguel, from the brush and strapped it to Grunt.
" This jet pack will set you up to spike that serve, Grunt." The field leader said after the product was securely fastened. This invention was one that the strength member liked.
"My pleasure. I'll pulverize them!" He said to his leader with an evil smile since he meant what he said. She set up the ball, transformed into bat form, and hit it over to the other side.
"Take that, you bat!" Grunt said happily after getting airborne and returning the serve. At that instant Ben gathered three eyes on his left shoulder for a ice beam since their latest cheating tool was right in front of him, but that was when he saw from right arm some promising events.
"I can't reach it!" Tannis said as she attempted to get right underneath it. It was at that time Danny phased into his stomach to use a device that he hasn't used since the Jake incident.
"But I can stop it." He said back and began to press the device's main button. Once that happened the ball in play: rounded away from the ghoul's field, bounced off of Grunt, Miguel, Jamal, Baxter, and Tug's head, finishing with bouncing the rest of the way on their field.
'This ought to shut that old man up.' The wielder of the Omnitrix thought before leaping from his stand and walked over to the colonel. "That's out, Colonel, and so are you. Grimwood wins!" The creature before the human said while pointing at the ball and then at the board behind him.
'Time for something that we never have done with the other coaches.' Sibella thought as she saw a green light followed by Ben being in his human form. The others knew of her plan and decided to do it as well: Winnie carrying Jake.
'This is new.' Long thought after feeling the wolf's claws on his rump. Elsa Frankenteen and Sibella carrying Ben.
'I guess I could get used to this.' The multitalented hero thought while still feeling weirded out by the strong woman's hands on his butt.
'Ankles work too.' The violet vampire found herself thinking even though that there was a part of her that wanted to be in Elsa's place. Phantasma and Danny brought up the rear by floating side by side.
"You guys were fang-tastic." Sibella said to the three while keeping her vision forward. The three males looked at one another after that statement, but it was the green jacketed one that spoke out.
"We really didn't do anything. You girls are the ones that are fang-tastic. You put those cadets in their place." The youngest Tennyson said to them while using the girl's vampire themed word which caused her to blush.
"I believe we get the trophy this time Colonel Calloway." Grimwood said to her rival calmly once the seven of the kids were out of the way. The man on the other hand held the item in question tighter than before and then answered back to her.
"There must be some mistake. I won't hand it over.' One of the few remaining helpers had his own ideas.
'If you won't then I'll do it for you.' The hand thought and floated over to the trophy, grabbed it, and with a simple pull he handed it to her employer.
"Thank you, Colonel." She said to him sincerely even though there was a piece of it that meant it as an insult. The headmistress of the finishing school looked over her shoulder and saw that the Egyptian expert was patiently standing behind her. "Here, Tannis. For your mummy case." She said after turning to face her student.
"Thanks, Miss Grimwood." The young one answered back after an excited gasp. With that the remaining ghouls, or ghoul school employees left for home leaving their opponents speechless over what had just happened to them.
"I don't get it. We had the tactics." Tug questioned to the others, and was hoping to be filled in on why they lost this time.
"We had the strategy." Jamal said aloud while thinking, 'Maybe if we didn't cheat, or go with technicalities we could have won.' Instead of expressing that concern to the others he just remained silent.
"We had the equipment." Miguel stated while remembering the devices that they used curtisy of his cousin.
"But we still lost." Grunt finished while scratching the back of his head in confusion. The youngest, who stood to the eneineer's left, didn't have much to say just agreed with the other four.
"Affirmative." The colonel saw this and decided to remind them on one of their schools main rules since he did not want to seem weak before his rival.
"No moping men. The Calloway code says, 'Retreat with dignity'." The blue man said to the others even though he preferred to leave in a temper tantrum fashion. This piece of news reached the ghost who still had their little toy inside of him.
'That so?' He thought before getting the device out of his stomach and started to press the button several times over. Since they were leaving he had no idea what he was doing, but the others sure did.
"It looks like the Calloway code has just been broken." Their field leader said as they watched their commanding officer bounce away with the ball to his butt. The others saw this, but did not know what they could add to this eventually one did.
"Double affirmative." Jamal said before he and the others decided to just walk back to their school. The ghouls and coaches on the other hand decided to go to their pumpkin patch.
"Uh, why are we here." Danny questioned since he believed that they would be going straight home after they won their game. The five females only chuckled at one another for a moment before answering.
"Miss Grimwood wants some pumpkins for carving, and we said that we would get her some." Elsa explained to the lot, and once she did Jake along with Danny picked up one pumpkin each.
"I have a faster idea." Ben said to them and decided to show off his powers to the others again.
"Ditto!" The new one said after he activated and used his watch. The creature pulled himself apart into thirty-one aliens each carrying one pumpkin. Once the group was inside the guys all got to carving Jake with just his dragon claws, Danny trying a stunt he saw from Disney and used an ecto-beam from his finger tips, and the Dittos tried to carve one of thirty-one different faces.
"This is gonna be our happiest Halloween ever!" Winnie shouted with joy after placing a jack-o-lantern, made by the floating hand, on a first level windowsill. The mummy heard her and decided to explain why her friend was so happy.
"Because we have a trophy to show off at our open house." The young girl said while still holding the trophy in question since she really enjoyed the fact that they won one. Long heard her as he was putting the finishing touches on his dragon-o-lantern, and decided to ask.
"How big is this open-house you gals are excited about?" The question was heard by all, and it was the daughter of Dracula that answered him.
"It's only the biggest event of the Grimwood school year." Sibella said as she had gotten out one of their skeletons and was ready to hang it up on a ceiling hook. Once she had the loop on the hook the bat waited until the ghost along with thirty-one copycats were just below her.
"Will there be food?" One of the clones said after setting down a Chromastone-o-lantern. At first the female did not answer him; just watched as the others set their pumpkins down.
"Yeah, I can't wait to try the recipes you guys use with the food in the back." Another clone commented after putting the last one: Alien X-o-lantern. It was then that she gave the heroes a start by dropping the skeleton and letting it dangle before them.
"Lots of goodies…Ben. Miss Grimwood is in the kitchen right now." The ghoul girl said, trying not to use her pet name for the coach, as she was seen making sure was secure by being in her human form, and staying airborne on her own.
"What are we waiting for? Come on." The phantom questioned and answered before leaving his two faced, back to back, ghost-o-lantern and headed for the kitchen.
"Excuse us!" One Ditto said to the flier before heading off, but not before being dog piled by the other thirty members. She looked down and heard them talking and complaining to one another over what had just happened.
"Hey, make room." One shouted in anger.
"Get your butt out of my face, dork." Another shouted.
"I can't move any better than you, so shove it." One of the other clones shouted. It was then that one of them had the brains to tap the Omnitrix symbol on the head changing from thirty-one aliens and into one human boy.
"Time for that food." Tennyson said while standing up and heading for the kitchen. As he did the beautiful bat couldn't help but chuckle at that piece of comedy. In no time at all the two arrived in the kitchen.
"Oh, I just love making brownies." Grimwood said as she poured an ingredient into a mixing bowl, with the hand doing old fashioned spoon mixing.
"Brownies? Oh, boy!" Ben questioned and shouted out of pleasure when he heard one of his favorite chocolate treats as the two of them made it to the table she was working on.
"Can we give you a hand, Miss Grimwood?" Danny questioned since his mother raised him to help first before becoming a human dishwasher. The caped woman heard the offer and smiled about it.
"Thanks, Danny, but I've already got one." She replied to them. The three watched as the hand took the bowl and poured it's contents into a square cake pan. She decided to give them a small reward for all that they have done. "But you can like the bowl." She offered, and it was then that the hand floated over to them with the item in question and set it in between them.
"Thanks." The ghost said as he saw the bowl.
"Yeah, thanks." Ben added when he saw it being placed before them. The headmistress then took the container and placed it in her old stove.
"All right, Matches. Ready to bake a batch of brownies?" She questioned to her loyal guardian, who also walked into the room. Her walking stove light nodded out of happiness and added a, 'yeah' in his language before setting his flame to the base of the pan. When he did that the smell of its cooking contents reached the closet folks first.
"Mmm, Something smells rotten." Sibella questioned after making her way to the ground and head to the kitchen. When she got there she saw the two different town heroes stick their fingers out of the bowl.
"You said it, Sibella." Fenton said after taking a few sniffs into the air. Ben heard the comments from both and decided to take a wiff as well.
"Yeah, really rotten. Reminds of that slop the Slix Vigma tried to force me, and others to eat." Ben said after getting a good sniff and was reminded of the purple gruel when he was ten.
"Deliciously rotten. Swamp brownies straight from the oven." She said to them, with an almost growling stomach, as the hand took out the nearly instant brownies from the open stove.
"Made with slimy swamp water, chock-full of mosquitoes. Grimwood said; enlightening the others on what they were made of. After hearing that the two took one last finger full and then looked at one another.
"On second thought I'll fill up when the party starts." Danny said to her with a respectable tone in his voice.
"Then you don't want the rest?" Ben questioned, but before the other could answer he saw a bright flash followed by the growling orange canine from earlier. In that state the former human grabbed both sides of the bowl and began to lick it clean with his tongue.
"Phantasma, are those caterpillar cookies ready to bake yet?" Grimwood questioned after taking the pan from her handy helper, and was just about to cut them evenly.
"They will be, as soon as I catch them." The blue skinned girl answered back armed with a pie server and a butterfly net; since those items worked the last time. The green legged cookies ran one way of the kitchen then double backed to the other side.
"This place sure is crawling with snacks, eh, Ben?" Danny said before using his tail form to dodge them. The ghost creature was praying for an answer, but instead the third hero was too busy cleaning the mixing bowl to notice.
"Nothings too good for our guests." The spirit answered back before continuing to chase them through a base level cabinet. After the Vulpimancer got done with the bowl, cleaning it so well it looked like it never been used, he sniffed around for the flier. Eventually the beast found her, but since Ben knew that almost no one could understand him in his current state he changed back to normal.
"So…who's coming to this open house anyway, Sibella?" The transformer questioned to the girl by the window. He seemed nervous, but excited at the same time of meeting other people that were a part of this school.
"Everyone, Benji. My daddy, Dracula." She said enthusiastically since she was going to meet her father. She was so overjoyed by that fact that she failed to realize that she used her unneeded pet name for the human. She then pulled from a front pocket of her outfit a photo which she eagerly showed the human before her.
"That's your daddy?" The hero of heroes questioned with slight alarm in his voice since he had seen the old monster movies involving this powerhouse, and really did not want to see what the real deal was capable of.
"It's a bat picture of him, but he'll show up after sundown." The fang based female stated before turning to face the window again since she was interested in the sunset. The dragon and the ghost saw the two talking, so they decided to go for a different window, and when they looked outside they saw something bad.
"Looks like it's almost sundown now, Jake." The volunteer for the job stated as the two saw the sun casting it's final light before them.
"Come on, let's see if there are any leftovers in the kitchen." The red jacketed one suggested before activating his wings and flew off with the spirit bringing up the rear. As the guys were carving their pumpkins, and testing what one treat will be the girls grabbed a picture of their father figures. Elsa once again cut them off from the kitchen.
"Stop!" She said to the two, who stayed in the air after her request. "You've gotta meet Franenteen Senior." The science specialist said while holding up a picture of her father.
"We will. We will, but right now we're starving." Jake said to her, and was about to power on through until two more voices shot out.
"And my Mummy Daddy." Tannis said while showing them a picture of a mummy with an Egypt as the background.
"Don't forget Papa Werewolf." Winnie said to the two once they turned to face them. For some reason the dragon could not help but think meeting the father of the wolf may not be a bad idea. His thought was interrupted by his levitating friend.
"Through that doorway, around the house, and through a window." The white haired youth said before doing just that, but as they did that they encountered Danny's fan-girl.
"And my Phantom father." Phantasma said with a cackle once her job was done, and had a rolled up poster in hand; which she unrolled once the two came near her. 'I'm sure he'll like Danny.' She thought as she gazed at her idol, and was grateful that he seemed to be warming up to her.
"Hmm, Frankenteen Senior, Mummy, Papa Werewolf, phantom father." Jake muttered aloud while lowering himself to ground level before adding, "Benvicktor, Benmummy, Benwolf, Ghostfreak." Danny caught his meaning as he too stopped floating.
"I have a feeling I know what your getting at, but do you think he's up for those kind of activities?" The ghost guardian questioned since he did not know if the third teen thought of his powers in that manner.
"I'm sure he wouldn't object." The secret American hero stated and prayed that he was right on this one.
