Ben 10 Alien + Vampire

Chapter 4: Attack of the Fan Boys; Is this Farewell?

Night Time

Ben's Room

"And that's how it's done."

Since Kurumu, Moka and Ben shared the same class schedule, they would do homework together. As usual, Kurumu never took her schoolwork seriously, seeing school as more of a social event than an academic one. All she was interested in was Ben, so he used this to his advantage to help her with her homework. Even Yukari was present to lend a hand while also bragging about her intelligence. They were all in the American's dorm room sitting around a table doing math homework.

Kurumu now was even more confused. She couldn't understand a thing and it didn't help when a small alien was trying to explain things to her in technical terms. Yes, Ben had assumed the form of Grey Matter. He always used this form for homework.

Grey Matter was a tiny alien who was only five inches tall. He had a large head with bulbous yellow eyes. His pupils were rectangular and horizontal. His hands and feet had three digits each. He was wearing a white bodysuit and the Omnitrix symbol was on his back.

Omnitrix Encyclopedia

Grey Matter A.K.A. Galvan

These tiny five-inch people hail from the planet known as Galvan Prime. They are hailed as the most intelligent species in the universe. They are masters of technology and science, despite their tiny size. They can often make anything out of spare parts and can identify functions of machines by merely looking at them. This applies to organics, as Ben has used his Galvan form in defeating his more organic opponents by identifying nerve clusters and such. Don't expect a Galvan to be as harmless as they're small. They may be tiny, but they're wily.

It should be noted that a Galvan named Azmuth, who's a hermit, invented the Omnitrix.

Yukari was the only one who could really get the terms he was talking in. Moka had an inkling of it, but it still went over her head. Kurumu, on the other hand, was completely lost.

"Wow!" Yukari gasped in delight. "I never thought of doing the problem that way!"

"Well, when using this form, I'm known for thinking outside the box," Grey Matter grinned.

"I've got to admit," Yukari pointed out, "America has some really strange monsters for you to mimic, Ben. It must be pretty good for you to be a Doppleganger, especially one as powerful as you." Both Moka nad Ben chuckled nervously, not knowing if both Kurumu and Yukari were ready to know the truth about Aliens, let alone the Omnitrix.

"I'll never get this," Kurumu moaned sadly, nearly banging her head on the heated table.

"Don't say that," Grey Matter frowned. "Anyone can get this, if they think about it in the right way."

"That's true," Moka nodded. "I try to think of it as something fun. That helped me when I was having troubles with some things."

"Right," Kurumu pouted. "And just what am I supposed to think of that makes MATH fun?"

Hefting his pencil over his shoulder like a walking stick, Grey Matter pondered the problem. He was lucky he was in this form now, or else the task at hand would have taken longer. Tapping the pencil on his shoulder a little longer, he suddenly got an idea.

"How about this?" asked Grey Matter, using the pencil as a pointer. "If you can get at least a B on this homework and upcoming tests, I'll got on a lunch date with you for every B or higher."

"Huh?!" Moka and Yukari gasped.

"Yahoohoo! Talk about motivation!" Kurumu smiled brightly. She immediately set to work.

"I'd feel bad if she failed," Grey Matter shrugged as he looked to the other girls, but Yukari and Moka both huffed. Ben was just too kind sometimes. That is, until Grey Matter ran up Yukari's shoulder so he could whisper in both girls' ears. "Though I never said we'd be alone either."

The two girls realized the little alien's meaning. Apparently he was still unsure of Kurumu's amorous advances. Being alone with her would allow her to get friskier, meaning more than just boob rubs to the chest and all. He wasn't sure he was ready for something like that. Both girls giggled as they realized the slip their friend had played on Kurumu.

The Omnitrix flashed red and then the entire room was bathed in green light. Ben now returned to normal with a smile on his face. Things were looking up for him. He had good friends now and despite the fact that they weren't human he could at least trust Moka, both Outer and Inner, with his secret. He just had to find a way to tell Kurumu and Yukari one day, when things weren't so hectic, and maybe that they weren't scared of normal people. When that would be would have to be a mystery.

But that wasn't what was on his mind as he looked back to his homework. Lately, he looked at his desk, where no one took notice, and saw a stack of letters that had yet to be mailed out. They were letters addressed back home in America, back in Bellwood were his whole family had was waiting for him to give a reply back. He didn't mind in being in Youkai Academy, it was just so damn hard for him to keep in contact with his family, and to let them know that he was alright. They were probably worried sick about him, without him able to talk to them, much less email them.

Unknown to him, Moka saw that Ben had a depressed spacy look on his face. When she saw him like that, she worried about what was on his mind, 'Ben…?'

After That

Rooftop

At night, after the study session was over, Ben dressed in a black under armor T-shirt, and black sweat pants, and did some training on his dorm's roof. Ben had been doing it for some time ever since he arrived at Youkai Academy. While he relied on his alien forms in a tough fight, he simply couldn't rely on the Omnitrix all the time. Without it he was just still just a human. His Grandpa Max and Gwen had been training him for the past 5 years and while not a black belt like Gwen, he knew how to defend himself. He was presently performing a kata Gwen had shown him.

But lately, his mind wasn't in the practice, as he was trying to figure things out. Like how he was gonna get the letters to his family back in Bellwood, America. And, there was something bigger on his mind…

"Ben?" Moka's voice called out, getting the boy's attention as he stumbled a bit, almost tripping. Once he balanced himself, he turned towards the doorway, and saw Moka, standing there with a look of worry on her face.

Relaxing his breathing, he sighed, as she wlkaed over to him, and waved to her, "Hey, Moka. Didn't know you were still awake."

She blushed, feeling awkward about that, "Well, you just looked a bit troubled during the study session, that's all. I wanted to see if you were doing alright." But she figured it wasn't a subject to get into, so she changed it again, and asked, "So what were you doing before I got here?"

Ben shrugged, "Oh, nothing much. Just kata."

"Bless you," Moka smiled, causing Ben to look at her like she was clueless. But she waved it off, as she giggled, "That was a joke."

"It's no joke," Inner Moka suddenly spoke up to Moka, who was nearly startled, "It's a form of Martial Arts Judo that would take years to practice. It seems Benjamin is more than just a boy hiding behind alien skins."

The two remained silent, as they leaned on the railing on the roof. Until Ben finally spoke up, "Hey, Moka? Do you miss your home?"

That startled the female vampire a bit when he asked her that question. She looked at him, and then back at the view, as she answered, "Well, in truth… I don't really miss it that much." That got Ben's attention as she explained, "I'm not sure if it was ever really a home to begin with. It was always so empty in my mother's ancestral castle. All I had was my mother and the servants, and every now and then my relatives would visit on my birthday. That one day a year was when it didn't seem so empty for the two of us." But she smiled to Ben as she answered truthfully, "But… when I met you this year, I didn't feel so alone anymore."

"Do you keep in touch with your mother?" Ben asked. It was silent again, as he saw that she seemed deeply depressed about something, possibly about what he said. He shook his head as he defended, "Sorry, I mean, if you don't wanna talk about it…"

"No, it's not that," Moka confessed, feeling ashamed about what she would say next, "It's just… I can't remember. The truth is, when the Rosario seal was placed on me, any memory of my mother or where she is now, it's all kind of fuzzy."

Ben was a bit surprised, and felt lower than dirt that he dragged up a hard experience for her. He waved it off as he reassured her, "Well, if you don't want to talk about it, I'll stop it at that."

Moka looked to him, as she smiled, "Thank you, and if there's something bugging you, Ben. Well, you can always tell me anything." She then blushed at him, almost going into a daze, slowly smiling, "Because… I…"

Ben blushed, as he noticed she was leaning towards him… to his lips, as he gulped, "Um, Moka?"

"Oh, Ben…" she whispered, closing her eyes, inching closer to him. Deciding not to fight it, he slowly closed his eyes, and inched towards her, as she whispered, "Ben… you smell so good…"

"Thanks, I…" but Ben snapped out of it as he realized, "Hey, wait a minute…"

"HOLD IT!" Suddenly shouted, getting in between them, and snapping them both out of it. They pulled back, both equally embarrassed about what was gonna happen, as Kurumu scolded right in Moka's face, "Moka, you were planning on sucking Ben's blood again, weren't you?"

Ben sighed, knowing that full well, as he sighed, "Yeah, I knew it."

"Kurumu, what are you doing up here?" Ben asked the succubus, a bit surprised that she was here.

Kurumu turned around to face Ben, as she explained, "I caught Little Miss Vampire-Next-Door sneaking up on the roof, only to find the two of you together." She then shot daggers at Moka, and interrogated, "Well, then, you were gonna suck him dry again? Dammit, that's probably the reason why he was spacing out in his room during the study session!"

Moka thought about it for a moment, taking it seriously, giving a pouting thought look on her face, as she tapped her finger on her chin, "Well, yeah, I was going to suck his blood…" After hearing that, Ben nearly face vaulted and sweat dropped, but saved himself in time, as Moka continued, "… but I don't think I took that much from him yesterday to make him that spacy."

"Oh please," Kurumu shot out, "That's gotta be the reason he was acting that way!"

"No, it's alright," Ben defended for Moka's sake, "I mean, Moka's a vampire, so she drinks blood, right? I don't mind helping her out with her needs."

Moka went starry eyed when he said that, and smiled, "Ben…"

After hearing that, Kurumu just chuckled, and boob-pressed into Ben, cooing, "Oh really? Well, I have needs too, you know…"

"NOOO!" Moka shouted, this time getting in between the two, as he scolded Kurumu, "Kurumu! You're a succubus, you can't kiss him! If you do, then he'll become a mindless slave!"

Ben just sighed, as the two girls were getting into another heated argument over him. Just like there were typical days in Youkai Academy, there were nights like these as well.

The Next Morning

Ben yawned as he made his way to school. It took a while before Kurumu finally got the homework done. And it even took longer for that nightly battle between Moka and Kurumu. Ben suspected that she was playing dumb so she could have an excuse to stay longer in his room. Still, even the two girls had to end the argument and leave so Ben would be able to get some sleep. He chuckled to himself as he thought, 'It's kind of weird that we're all friends; Moka's a Vampire, Kurumu's a succubus, and Yukari's a witch. And out of all of them, I'm the only human in the bunch.' He smirked as he told himself, "But still… I'm happy that I've got at least some friends out here in…"

"You! Ben Tennyson!" a voice shouted from behind.

Ben blinked and turned around to see who was talking to him. Who he found were three fellow students. One was tall with shaggy brown hair, lanky in his appearance and wore glasses. The second was a cleaned up reddish blonde haired guy, who looked completely average, almost like himself. And the third and final guy was short and pudgy, with bottle blonde spiky hair. And the odd thing about them, was that they were weeping… and seethed with anger pointed right at him.

"Uh…can I help you guys?" Ben asked.

"Today is the day we finally declare war on YOU, Ben Tennyson!" Average finished.

"Declare war?" Ben cocked an eyebrow.

"We'll never forgive you!" cried Pudgy.

"What?" Ben asked, even more confused, "But why?"

"It's because you're our enemy!" Glasses shouted, pointing at Ben.

"Huh?!" Ben blinked. "What are you talking about? Enemy? Declaring war? What did I ever do to you guys?"

"You don't know?!" cried Average. "We'll tell you then!"

"You're bothering our goddesses! That's what you're doing!" growled Pudgy.

"We cannot tolerate this!" roared Glasses, "It's not fair that a foreigner like you, who just suddenly got so popular with the hottest girls in school just over night!"

"Make sense, for crying out loud!" Ben snapped, getting annoyed with the weirdness that the three students were showing off. He should've gotten used to this by now. Youkai Academy was a weird place after all.

The trio then tossed off their jackets to reveal hideous pink coats that made Ben gawk at them. They were just so tacky. It was almost painful to look at them. Teasing them about it probably wouldn't be helpful either. They had probably heard it all.

"FORMATION START!" Average sang, "L.O.V.E. CUTE Mokyuu-san! Give me an M, give me an O, give me a K, give me an A! what's that spell? MOKA!"

"I've got cheers for the girl of my dreams, too!" Pudgy continued, "We won't lose to the likes of you," before singing, "Kurumu, love, love, lovely, Kurumu. KURUMU, SHE'S MY LOVE! TOUCH HER, AND YOU'LL GET A SHOVE!"

Glasses sang, "C.U.T.E. Yukarin! Moe, moe, huu huu! Y, U, K, A, R,I! YUKARI, YAAAAAEEE!"

"Mokyuu, Kurumu and Yukarin?" Ben blinked. "Wait a sec, you don't mean…"

"That's right!" Average announced, "I am the leader of the Moka Akashiya-sama Fan Club, Kouzou Kasahara!"

"Furthermore," Pudgy continued, "I'm the leader of the Kurumu Kurono Fan Club, Gouzaburou Taira!"

"And I'm the leader of the Yukari Sendou Fan Club, Kubisaku Naga!" Glasses announced.

"And together we are… THE LOVE-LOVE ALLIANCE! AKA… THE CUTE GIRLS FAN CLUB COALITION!"

Ben gaped as wind blew by. People, if there was anyone around the area at that time, were staring too. Ben said, nervously chuckling, "OK, I'm gonna be late for class. See you guys…never."

"Don't think you'll escape us that easily!" Naga shouted, raising a megaphone. "You are our sworn enemy!"

"Our vengeance will be painful and swift!" Taira added, raising his own megaphone. "You won't know what hit you!"

"Prepare yourself, Tennyson!" Kasahara finished, raising his megaphone and completing the trio.

"You've gotta be kidding me," Ben frowned as he reached for the Omnitrix. "I don't need this first thing in the morning." But before he could activate it, the trio ran up to him.

"LOVE-LOVE ALLIANCE!" Kasahara shouted loudly. "CHAAAAAARGE! FEARSOME WRATH!"

They surrounded him, and began to bang their plastic megaphones on his head. Ben shielded himself with his arms, preventing the speaker phones from hurting him even worse. They continuously pummeled Ben, with little to no success in taking him down. He just stood there, taking the phone beatings, but trying to find a way out of there. Unfortunately, neither one of the three seemed to even let out, letting him out of there. Truth be told, it wasn't painful to Ben, just extremely annoying.

"What's the big deal with this guy?" Taira complained, as he continued to hit Ben with his megaphone, "I mean, I know he doesn't look like much, but he's pretty wimpy. Almost like a human."

"Oh, you noticed that too," Naga asked, agreeing with him.

"I don't get it," Kakahara raised an eyebrow, "Why doesn't he just transform into that Four-Armed Red monster, or that green flying bug Monster. Or even that Orange furred gorilla dog thing. Not even that Black and White Living Bowling Ball creature!"

"Yeah, you'd think he'd do it, given the beating we're giving him," Naga complained.

Ben gritted through his teeth, just out of sheer annoyance, 'It's because I can't get to the Omnitrix with you beating me up, you dorks.'

"Yeah, well either way, a panty-waste piece of scum trash like this isn't worthy of being friends with Moka," Kakahara spat out.

Suddenly, the trash cans and fallen branches nearby suddenly floated upward, and started bashing the Love Love Alliance on the heads. Taira whimpered out, "What's going on? Is Tennyson doing this!?"

"No, it's magic," Naga explained, and blushed as he lit up, "That means my darling Yukari's not far from here!"

"Hey! What the heck is going on here?" a new voice called out. And sure enough, it was Yukari's as she shouted, "You jerks leave Ben alone, or I'll kick your butt!"

The four boys stopped their impending fight to see who was talking. Following the source of the voice, their eyes landed on Moka, Kurumu, and Yukari. All three looked a little miffed at the boys who were facing off against their friend. The three boys all developed blushes and adoring looks on their faces.

"Oh, look," Taira drooled out, "It's my sweet Kurumu!"

"And my darling Moka," Kakahara swooned.

The three girls stopped five feet away from them, as Kurumu asked, "What the hell are you three doing to Ben?"

"I'll tell you," Yukari shot out, as she pointed her wand at the trio, "These three ganged up on poor Ben, and were beating the stuffing out of him."

Moka looked heartbroken as she looked to Ben, "That's so mean."

The Love Love Alliance said altogether, "RETREAT!" and took off as the items Yukari enchanted still gave chase after them.

"Hey, girls!" Ben waved, feeling a little achy after that so-called attack. Ignoring the Love-Love Alliance who retreated from their fearsome wrath attack, the three girls went over to Ben.

"Did they hurt you, Ben?" asked Moka, as she bent down and looked to him concerned.

"No, I'm fine," he smiled. "I think they just hurt my pride, is all."

"Are you sure?" asked Kurumu.

"Positive," nodded Ben.

"I'm glad!" beamed Yukari.

But Kurumu was still fuming as she glared at the direction to where those three weirdoes ran off to. "But still, I'm not gonna let them get off that easy." And she was about to run after them, unitl she felt a firm grip on her wrist, causing her to look down, and see Ben preventing her from doing so.

"Trust me," Ben advised to her calmly, "It's not worth it for me."

"But, Ben…" Moka whispered.

Seeing the exchange and closeness their three goddesses had with the Gaijin, the Love-Love Alliance's faces fell. Before they turned away and left, they glared daggers at Ben, vowing sweet cold revenge.

Boys Dorm

After the day was over, and with no sign of the Fan Club Coalition, Ben laid on his bed, looking up at the ceiling in deep thought. He was thinking about not how his presence couldn't just attract trouble at times, but also created trouble. Such as the Coalition that attacked him that day. It didn't faze him that they were targeting him for being friends with Moka, Kurumu, and Yukari; he was more than happy to be around them. It was what the average club president, Kakahara had said to him earlier that echoed in his head.

A panty-waste piece of scum trash like this isn't worthy of being friends with Moka

He sighed deeply, and raised his arms over his head to shield his eyes for a moment. Then, he looked at the Omnitrix, and remembered not just how much fun it was to change into all those alien forms, but as to how much trouble it brought along with it. Every being in the universe traveled to Earth just to get their hands on the most powerful piece of alien technology. Bounty Hunters, Dr. Animo, his Ghostfreak persona Zs'Skayr, and especially Vilgax, who practically hated his guts. And either one would do anything to get their mitts on it… including attacking those he cared about.

"Is it really in everyone's best interest that I stay at this school?" he asked, sighing deeply.

Elsewhere

Study Group and Social Interests

Idol Fan Club Room

That night, in one of the unused clubrooms, plotting was taking place. Within a room that was covered wall to wall of pictures depicting the three beauties of Youkai Academy, three fanboys plotted to do away with their opponent.

"Ben Tennyson," Naga growled. He was sitting with a cardboard cut out of Yukari in his arms. "Why do you go to him, Yukarin? Why? WHY?!"

"You can do so much better, Kurumu," Taira moaned as he cuddled against a life-size picture of Kurumu. "Tennyson doesn't have an infinite amount of room in his heart for you, not like I do."

"We have seen the enemy, and he has seen us," Kasahara spoke from an actual shrine made to the three girls. "Now the battlefield is set for us to destroy him once and for all!"

"Huzzah!" Taira ad Naga both cried, still cuddling the pictures of their idols.

"I propose a plan," Kasahara continued. "We must wait until Ben Tennyson is alone. That way we are able to crush him! We must not let our idols see though. Such action would crush them."

"Hai, hai," the two fanboys nodded.

"But what about the fact that Tennyson can change into different forms?" asked Naga. "What do we do?"

"Then we'll just have to wait and catch him off guard. That, but also, I found out something during his battle against the Class Rep from Yukari's class, as well as heard a rumor from the battle with that girl rapist, Saizou. Apparently, Tennyson can only hold his monster form for only ten minutes; once the ten minutes are up, he reverts back into his human disguise. And if all fails, we can do THAT," Kasahara spoke up. "We will prove our superiority as suitors for our idols tomorrow! Ben Tennyson will finally fall!

"HUZZAAH!" the two fanboys cried loudly.

Kasahara ran up to a cutout of Moka, and cooed out, rubbing his cheek to it, "Once he's been defeated, you'll be mine and mine alone, Sweet Moka…"

The Next Day

Later On

As much as Ben liked Youkai Academy, or at least the friends he made in it, he still missed home. It'd been awhile since he saw Gwen, his parents, and even Grandpa Max. Though he was still writing, there was still no mailbox, let alone a payphone to the Human World. Sadly, with the bus schedule, he couldn't go home as often as he would like. He had to wait until summer vacation to return home to visit everybody.

As Ben was walking along the hallway alone, he could hear footsteps approaching. He spun around and saw the Love-Love Alliance right behind him. "Oh, not you freaks again," grumbled Ben.

"Ben Tennyson, we will defeat you!" Kasahara announced. "Get him!"

"I don't have time for this!" Ben ran as the trio ran after him. Rounding a corner, he activated the Omnitrix and immediately slapped his hand onto it.

As soon as the Love-Love Alliance went around the corner, Ben was gone.

"Where is that coward?" questioned Taira.

"He vanished," Naga assessed.

"He has to be around here somewhere! Split up!" ordered Kasahara. "Don't forget: he has ten minutes before he reverts back to his human disguise. After that, he's just another weakling, like a human!" The trio then separated.

Fading into visibility was a grayish humanoid-shaped creature with four digits on each hand, thin arms, with no legs and looking like a what a stereotypical ghost. It had a single violet eye and black tracks all over its body, sort of like a vein track. The Omnitrix emblem was on its chest.

"Stupid idiots," snickered the creature known as Ghostfreak.

Omnitrix Encyclopidia

Ghostfreak A.K.A. Ectonurite

These almost spectral beings hail from the planet of Anur Phaetos. It is perpetually dark on that planet. That suits them just fine since they have a near-fatal aversion to sunlight. Their bodies are composed of a variable density protoplasm which allows them to change density at will. They also possess telekinetic abilities, as well as the ability to possess other beings. The indication that someone's possessed by an Ectonurite is their black and purple eyes, as well as cracking veins around the eyes. Ben is only able to survive sunlight because his Ghostfreak form has a second skin on it which protects him. However, this is not the true form of the Ectonurites, which have caused him considerable grief in the past.

One in particular called Zs'Skayr, who wanted to possess Ben's body to control the Omnitrix. An enemy that Ben has not seen the last of…

Ghostfreak heard a gasp and spun around to see Moka. "Moka?" he asked.

"Ben?" blinked Moka as she saw the Omnitrix symbol on Ghostfreak's chest. "Is that you?"

"Who else has this?" questioned Ghostfreak as he pointed to the Omnitrix symbol on his chest, before his body flashed green and once again became Ben. He shivered, "I really hate using that form."

"Why?" asked Moka curiously.

Ben frowned on that idea of telling her about his battles with Zs'Skayr, the Ectonurite that wanted possession of not only the Omnitrix, but the one wielding it. He wasn't really sure if she'd get too scared of how frightening he was. "That's a long story; I'll tell you about it," Ben promised her. "Now, let's go before those creeps find us."

"Okay," Moka agreed. She was a little confused, but if those boys were still bugging him just because he was friends with her and the others, she could probably understand.

All Throughout the Week

Unfortunately, it wasn't the last that Ben would see of the fanboys. They seemed to walk as a mob, trying to hunt him down. Every time they would find him, Ben would duck around a corner and hide. Usually either as Grey Matter so he could cram himself in small places where no one would look, or by going Ghostfreak and phasing through walls. A teacher spotted him as Ghostfreak and attempted to bring him in, but another phase through a wall and a quick change got him in the clear.

So far the Ghostfreak form wasn't giving him any troubles. Still, it was a while back when Ben was ten before the true Ghostfreak, also known as Zs'Skayr, gave him problems. It seemed he was gone for good after their battle in space. Still, the Omnitrix managed to get a sample of his DNA as they landed back on Earth, when they foiled Zs'Skayr's plot to blot out the sun and mutate all of humanity with Corrodium. Maybe the upgraded Omnitrix would be able to keep him in check for a change. For the others, including Moka's sake, he hoped so, because if he came back, especially in Youkai Academy, it would spell a world of trouble.

At the moment, Ben just wanted to go back to his dorm so he could rest. He didn't want to tempt fate anymore by changing into Ghostfreak again. Heck, he didn't want to change anymore for the day. Of course, he especially didn't want to see those crazy fanboys again.

Besides, he had something more important to do this Saturday.

Friday

Lunchtime

Cafeteria

"Love-Love Alliance?" repeated Moka as she, Ben, Kurumu and Yukari all sat at the same table. Considering the strange circumstances of yesterday, they decided to talk about it. It had been no secret that some of the boys looked at Ben with hatred and envy in their eyes, just because he hung out with the girls. It was just weird that someone decided to take action on it so suddenly.

"Yep. Each one's a president for your fan clubs, apparently," explained Ben. "Bunch of weirdoes if you ask me. I mean, seriously, did you see those coats? Someone should call the fashion police on them because they are guilty for being tasteless."

"Well, if they try and bother you, we'll be there to take them down," Kurumu shouted, pumping her fists into the air. She then winked at Ben, "And if all else fails, you can turn into Fourarms form, and crush them all in a bear hug attack!"

"Tempting, but I prefer to use my 'forms' for emergencies only…and homework," Ben assured Kurumu.

"Don't worry, Ben!" smiled Yukari. "I don't think they'll be much of a problem! And if they attack again, I'll just use my magic to defend you."

"Yeah!" Kurumu agreed with a smile. She then turned thoughtful. "Still, I think I recognized one of those guys. The pudgy one."

"Oh yeah?" asked Ben. "From where?"

"He's been stalking me…" Kurumu shivered.

A Few Days Ago

Kurumu was walking down the hallway towards the cafeteria. She wanted to get there so she could meet Ben and hopefully snag him. He was one tough cookie but she would wear him down eventually, especially with the baked treats that she had made the previous night. She couldn't fail!

As she was walking, she felt like someone was watching her. Turning around to check, she spotted a pudgy guy leaning against the wall in a standard 'bishonen ' pose that one would see out of anime or manga. Sadly, it didn't really work for him all that well.

Shivering, Kurumu ignored the odd boy and continued on her way. She had more important things to do after all. Things like giving Ben her cookies and making sure she would be the one in his heart! These cookies were going to be the first step towards victory!

Feeling like she was being watched again, Kurumu turned around. She saw the same pudgy guy from before leaning against a different wall in a different pose. Now feeling extremely disturbed, Kurumu made tracks at a quicker pace. Of all the times to gain a stalker.

Her day didn't get much easier either. She was stretching out for gym class and going through the motions of making sure her body wouldn't cramp up on her. Bending over, she looked at some bushes that were behind her and her eyes widened in shock. That guy was back again! And he was still in one of those poses too!

'He's still hanging around?!' Kurumu cried in her thoughts.

The final straw came when the busty succubus came out of the girls' washroom. Coming out into the open air, she gaped when she spotted the stalker from before hanging out in front of the washroom. He was still in his poses too!

"Would you just go away?!" Kurumu shrieked as she ran to lose the weird student.

Present

"He gives me the creeps," Kurumu huffed. "I mean, it's one thing for a guy to take a photo of you, but to stalk you nonstop. That's just disturbing."

"Okay, shouldn't you have told one of the teachers or something?" Ben asked with some concern. "I mean, this is something serious. Stalkers can get pretty dangerous if you don't do anything about them."

"Ooohh! You do care about me! I knew you did!" Kurumu gigged while hugging Ben's arm. "I'm used to stalkers though. What kind of succubus would I be if I didn't know how to deal with a stubborn male?"

"I guess," Ben frowned. "But we don't know what kind of monster this guy is. He might be dangerous off school grounds."

"That's why I have you!" Kurumu smiled fondly. "My knight in many forms of shining armor!"

"Hey!" Yukari cried. "I had to deal with a stalker too!"

"WHAT?!" the three older students cried. Two in concerned shock and the third in jealous annoyance.

Few Days Ago

"Oof, heavy," Yukari huffed. She was bringing a pile of projector equipment to class that day. She decided to try it without magic. Her parents always taught her that magic wasn't always the answer. Hard work sometimes was more effective than the most powerful magic.

KA-CHAK!

"Huh?" the tiny witch blinked. She turned around to see what the noise was. She found a skinny guy with glasses holding a camera up to his face in her direction. He also seemed to be in a daze of some kind too.

"Hey!" Yukari cried loudly. "What do you think you're taking pictures of?!"

"Huh?" the student blinked, coming to reality. "Oh! I'm taking pictures of the ever-changing school! Its part of my duty as a member of the photography club!"

He proved his statement by taking shots of everything in the vicinity. Despite his cover-up, Yukari had a hard time believing it. Still, she just sighed and continued taking her stuff back to class.

Present Time

"Okay, taking pictures without someone's knowledge is a criminal offence!" Ben frowned. "Just who do these guys think they are?"

"Like you said, just some obsessive fan boys," frowned Kurumu. "Hey, Moka. What about you? Did you get stalked too?"

"Well…I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary," Moka answered honestly.

"Still, I'd be careful if I were you," warned Ben. "Who knows what these guys would do."

"Well, we know that they're after you, Ben. You're the one who should be worrying about; they've got a serious vendetta on you," Kurumu advised.

"So what do we do?" Yukari asked.

"It's easy," Kurumu pumped her fists in determation, "We're gonna be Ben's Bodyguards." Everyone, including Ben, looked a bit confused at this, but she explained, "If they try and catch Ben, we'll pounce on 'em. It's like killing two turds with one stone. Yahoohoo!"

"I think you mean, killing two birds with one stone," Yukari exasperated in a groan.

"Hey, wait a second," Ben protested, "You know, I can take care of myself."

Moka patted him on the shoulder, and tried to reason him on this, "Come on, Ben. Please be reasonable, we're only trying to protect you. You can't always stay in monster form for very long. That and when you're not transformed, you're still not strong enough. It's because you're a hu…" But Moka stopped herself in time, as she covered her mouth from almost spilling Ben's secret. And even Ben paled at that as he saw she nearly did that. But luckily she covered it up, much ot Kurumu's and Yukari's confusion, "I-I mean, um… you're not strong enough in your human disguise. I mean, I've seen you practicing Kato late at night, but some of the students here, like Saizou, are super strong."

Feeling like he was shot down, Ben sighed deeply, "Yeah, I, um… I get it." He finished his meal and walked away.

Sensing it was because her fault, Moka shot up, "I'll be right back you guys." And took off after Ben, leaving the girls to look at one another in confusion.

Down the hallway, Moka had caught up with Ben, and gently grabbed him by the arm, stopping him, "Ben, I'm sorry." He didn't turn to see her, but she still talked to him, hoping to apologize, "I almost spilled the beans about you being a human."

Ben shook his head, "It's not that, Moka." He sighed deeply, feeling rather depressed, as he replied, still having his back to her, "It's just that I'm starting to wonder if my being here's in everyone's best interest." He then broke free, as he ran off.

"Ben, wait!" Moka cried out, but he didn't stop, as he disappeared from sight. She just stood there, almost like she was betrayed, or rather, she betrayed someone she cared about. "But… I want you here…"

Saturday Afternoon

Boys Dorm

Ben had dressed in his casual clothing, as well as grabbed his backpack. He was about to slip on his shoes, until he looked at the calendar, and noticed the date on today's Saturday. He sighed deeply, knowing that today was his only chance, so he had to be fast about it. He slipped on his sneakers, opened his door, and ran out.

Outside on school grounds, Yukari was sweeping up around the campus. A fellow classmate had asked Yukari if she could tend to some of the cleaning duties that day, due to an attempt to call home. She agreed without a second thought, and was enchanting some of the cleaning equipment to get the job done faster. That, and she had nothing to worry about Ben; those Fan Club dorks wouldn't think about attacking Ben in his dorm.

However, she stopped as she heard footsteps pass her location. She turned and saw Ben, dressed casually, and looking pretty good. She was about to wave to him, until she noticed the backpack he wore, as well as the serious face he had on.

Girls Dorm

Moka's Room

Moka was in her room, sitting at her desk, and sighing deeply. She had remembered the look he had when she said he was weak in his human form; that probably what got him. It was just that with all the stories he had told her, she thought that he got used to using the Omnitrix so much, that he didn't have time to work on his strength as just a regular human. She hadn't seen him the entire day or yesterday after lunch. He must've hated her for thinking of him like that.

She sighed sadly, "Are you still mad at me? I'm sorry I said that, Ben…"

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Moka, open up! Hurry, please," Yukari cried out.

Hearing her voice, Moka ran to the door, and opened it, just to see the little witch nearly out of breath. "Yukari, what's wrong?"

"I saw Ben walking away from the boy dorms," Yukari explained, "He was dressed all casually, leaving campus and had this really serious look on his face." She then huffed out some air and continued, "But that's not all, he was also carrying a backpack with him."

"Casual clothes, and a backpack," Moka repeated, trying to put the picture together. She remembered that the only time he had a backpack or wore something other than the school uniforms was when… She paled as it suddenly sank in, "Oh no. please, Ben…."

"Moka, what's wrong?"

"Yukari, go get Kurumu and meet me outside the Academy gate," Moka pleaded, as she slipped on her shoes, "I think Ben's going to the bus stop."

"But why would he do that?" Yukari asked, fearing the answer to it.

"Because he might be leaving the school and going back to the human world!"

At the Bus Stop

Ben stood there at the stop, waiting patiently for the bus to arrive. He looked at the Omnitrix, and pressed a button, displaying the current time. 'At least Azmuth told me the clock function on this,' he sighed, amused of what the Omnitrix could do, especially tell time for him. At least he didn't have to wear a watch on his right wrist. It would just look goofy on him. He looked at the tunnel, and then he looked at the academy from afar, and sighed, "Hope you're having a good day, Moka."

"Where do you get off with calling my Goddess's name, you piece of trash," Kasahara called out, getting Ben's attention from behind. And sure enough, the Fan Boy Coalition was there, crossed arms, glaring at him, and wearing those tacky pink jackets.

"Damn," Ben sighed. He turned around and unsurprisingly found the fanboys again. "Don't any of you know when to give up? It's been, what? The whole week, and you're still trying to beat me up?"

"It was worth it, including stalking you this whole way to get you alone! ALL DAY LONG!" Kasahara shouted. "Now there is no place left to run!"

Ben sweat dropped, "All day? Don't you guys have anything better to do with your spare time? Like blogging online, going to the movies, or even looking at po…?"

"If was foolish to be here out in the open! Even though we don't know why you're at the bus stop, or why you're going into the human world!" Taira added. "Here we can do anything we want! Now that we're off school grounds, we can defeat you in our true forms!"

"Prepare yourself for defeat!" cried Naga.

"UMBRELLA!" Kasahara placed an umbrella over his head and immediately a single eye appeared along with a mouth and hanging tongue.

"BLOOOOOB!" Taira opened up his shirt and his face lost all its facial features, leaving it blank. His fat belly was also hanging out, as if he bloated out even more fat.

"STRETCHY NECKY NECK!" Naga's neck stretched long and was triple the height of his body.

Ben quirked an eyebrow and asked, "What the heck are you guys?"

"Say what? Now you're dissin' us?" cried Kasahara. "We know, we are low class monsters. Just a bunch of Shikigami."

"That's why we are looked down upon," cried Taira. "Most of the girls even go after the cool-looknig monsters. But our idols, they always go after you, and you don't even have to be in one Monster Form to get the job done!"

"But we can take it because we have our idols!" cried Naga as well.

"But first, we must free our idols from you!" the three shouted in unison before charging.

"Okay, I've had enough," Ben instantly activated the Omnitrix, scrolling to an old favorite, and pressed down on it.

His entire body started to grow tall and fill out with muscles while at the same time green crystals began to cover his entire body. His eyes turned yellow. When the change was complete, a green crystal skinned humanoid in a half black and white sleeveless suit now took Ben's place. The Omnitrix symbol was on the right side of his chest. This alien had crystal spikes on his back and his head had a spike behind it.

"Diamondhead!"

Omnitrix encyclopedia

Diamondhead A.K.A. Petro Sapien

These people once hailed from the crystal planet of Petropia. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the warlord Vilgax. Only two known Petro Sapiens remain. One is the bounty hunter Tetrax, a loyal friend and mentor to Ben, and the other is Ben's form of Daimondhead. These people are able to control the grown of their crystal, creating formations and weapons for themselves as well as creating crystal on other objects or from underground, creating shields and barriers. It is also theorized that they have Crystalkenisis, the ability to levitate crystal as well. A drawback to these people is that their crystal shatters with certain frequencies of sonics. While these people are durable, even in the vacuum of space, and can regenerate limbs, there is so much damage they can take.

"That's not one of the forms we heard he uses!" Naga cried to Kasahara.

"Stay strong!" the umbrella-headed creature cried. "We can beat him with our teamwork! Don't forget, we waste his energy and time. Remember: Ten minutes is his limit!"

"Good advice," Diamondhead spoke as he reared back his fist. "Sadly you guys don't have the experience to pull it off! As for me, I've been practicing for five years with this form, as well as my other forms. But with this one, I've barely begun to scratch the surface on what it's capable of!"

Punching forward, Diamondhead made several crystal spikes cut through the air. The fannboys cried out as the crystals collided with them. Naga and Kasahara were slightly cut, but the crystals never even penetrated Taira's fat.

"Ha! I've proven superior to your power, Ben Tennyson!" Taira laughed. Charging at the annoyed Petro Sapien, he attempted to bring him down.

Sadly, his charge was stopped when Diamondhead grabbed him by his shirt and lifted him up. Taira couldn't help but gulp as he and Diamondhead stared eye to eye.

"Seriously, you guys are dedicated," Diamondhead sighed. "But you need to pick your battles, and I am in no mood to go easy on you right now." Then hand that held Taira then morphed into a cylindrical battering ram, smashing Taira away. But that wasn't enough, as Diamondhead willed crystal pillars to shoot out of the ground, hitting Taira away, like a crazy game of pinball.

"Don't underestimate us!" Kasahara cried as he hovered down from above, using his head to slow his descent. He landed on Diamondhead's arm and started stomping on the limb that formerly contained his friend, but began to stomp on Diamondhead's head. Sighing, Diamondhead crouched as he willed out of his body crystal spikes, scaring Kasahara off, as he floated back towards his friends.

Naga lunged forward with his head, wrapping around Diamondhead as he chuckled, "Let's see you get your way out of this!"

Diamondhead smirked, "Okay." He then touched Naga's neck, and within a few seconds, encased it in a crystalized shell.

Breaking free of the neck, Diamondhead then tossed Naga back with the others. He then knelt down, almost grunting as he slowly brought up his fists, almost as if he was lifting heavy weights. Then suddenly, shooting out of the ground, massive pillars of crystal shot upward… and out of the ground hovering above thirty feet below the air. Diamondhead stood upright, and clenched his fists to his sides, as he did this, the pillars reshaped into monster sized fists, and were aimed at the club. He then hurled them at the fan boys like torpedoes, effectively smashing into everything in one location. As the dust cleared away, the fan boys saw that Tennyson had missed them, or rather, he did so on purpose.

Diamondhead huffed out as he pointed, "Look, I am getting fed up with this. So, let's call it a…" Unfortunately, a beeping caught his attention, as he looked to the Omnitrix symbol on his left peck, and gulped, "Oh, no…"

And in a flash of green, Diamondhead had changed back into Ben, as he groaned, looking at the Omnitrix, "Seriously, this wasn't funny five years ago, and it isn't funny now."

"His ten minutes are up," Naga shouted, "CHARGE!" and they did so, as Naga wrapped his neck around Ben's leg, waist, and arm, "Struggle all you want, you won't squeeze your way outta this one. And we're not gonna let you use your watch to unleash another form!"

Kasahara hopped on Ben's stomach, stomping the crap out of his guts, "We won't let you reign on our parade, by stealing the women we love!"

And even Taira was sucking up Ben by his legs, into his stomach, as he blobbed out, "We're never gonna let you chew the fat with our darlings ever again."

"GET YOUR HANDS…. I MEAN, NECK OFF OF HIM!"

The four boys looked up, and saw Kurumu flying overhead, and with her Moka and Yukari. Kurumu groaned with the strain of carrying the two, always carrying the two. And Yukari apologized, saying that she had yet to find a spell that could allow her to fly, let alone carry Moka with her. As soon as she set them down, Kurumu took off back into the air, did a loopdeloop to gain a bit more speed, and charged right at the fan boys. The collision caused the three to break their hold off of Ben, as Kurumu grabbed him and got him far away. Now it was Yukari's turn as she summoned a bubble chair, in which Kurumu threw him on, as he crashed safely.

Ben sighed, as he groaned, "This has been a hectic start to the weekend." As soon as he got his bearings, he looked up and saw Moka, standing two feet from him. He smiled as she knelt down, as they were now eyelevel, and he thanked her, "Man, I'm I glad you girls got here in time." But then he looked puzzled, "But, how'd you know I was out…"

He didn't get a chance to ask fast enough, as Moka glared at him angrily, with tears coming down her eyes. And then…

SMACK!

She slapped the unsuspecting boy across the face, startling him, as well as Yukari and Kurumu. As he recovered, he was even more confused, as she grabbed him by the shirt collar, and buried her face in his chest, as she cried out all muffled, "You moron! What were you thinking? Why didn't you tell us what you were going to do? Jerk! Idiot! Dummy!" she then looked up to him, face to face, as she smiled while still crying a bit, "Even though you can't stay in one form for more than ten minutes… you're still strong no matter what. There's more to you than just physical strength, flying, or even being durable."

"She's right, Ben," Yukari stepped in, "You saved me with your kinds words, and you even stood up for me while you were in your human disguise."

"You even saved me from the Inner Moka, and you did that in your human disguise as well," Kurumu added on with a wink.

"We're your friends, Ben," Moka smiled to him, "And even if we're in human disguises or in our true forms, we'll never abandon one another." She then wiped her tears away as she and him stood up together, "So, please… don't leave us."

Ben cocked an eyebrow at that, and asked, "What?"

However, the question went unanswered, as they all heard sobbing from behind their group. There, they saw the fanboys weeping like crazy, even Taira who had no eyes at the time was crying. It was pretty evident that this only made their hatred for Tennyson even greater. "Dammit," Kasahara whimpered out, "Damn you, Tennsyon. You're stealing our women from right in front of us."

Naga whimpered as well, "Shit, doesn't he know he's hogging all the love? How does a guy who only stays in Monster Form for ten minutes gets a gaggle of girls like our goddesses?"

"That does it! He's in violation of the Romance/Anti-Trust Act!," Taira shouted out, "I'm gonna blob Tennyson inot a blobby blob if its' the last blobbin' thing I ever blobby do!" and with that said, the trio charged right at their respective girls.

Ben took notice fo this, and shouted, "GIRLS! HEADS UP!" they all turned around, but it was too late, the attack had begun.

Naga curled around Yukari, but didn't touch her, as he proclaimed his admiration of her, "Yukari, my love! You're a ripe fruit waiting to be plucked! I'm gonna wrap myself so tight around that smokin' hot little body of yours!"

"Gross! Get away!" Yukari shouted, as she was much too disturbed to even fight back.

Taira tried to hug Kurumu around, as he too proclaimed, "Kurumu! I have an unlimited abundance of love for you. Let's gaze at both of us until the sun rises!"

Kurumu cringed at this as she gulped, "How am I supposed to gaze at anything if you don't even have a face, you big fat freak?"

Kasahara tried to approach Moka, even while he spinned his top, causing tears or spit to get splattered around. But even as that happened, he proclaimed, "Moka, let me be your umbrella of love! With me around, I will never allow the harmful rays of the sun, which is the mortal enemy of vampires as well as your lovely alabaster skin, to even touch you!"

"Uh, thanks, but I already have an umbrella," she gulped, but dodged out of the way, as she was getting grossed out, "Ugh! Get away!"

Ben had enough of these guys, so he finally shouted, "THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU SICKOS!" that shout stopped everyone in their tracks, gaining the attention of the Love Love Alliance, as Ben shot out, "Now listen up! You three better get this through your thick skulls! I don't care if you guys are a fan club for the girls, in the end you're just a bunch of pathetic creepy stalkers, and it's time you woke up to that fact!"

And with that, the truth struck the trio like lightning, but it didn't faze them as they retunred what they were going to do. Defeat Ben. "How dare you call us pathetic," Kasahara hissed out.

"AS well as a bunch of loser ugly monster dorks who can't even be taken seriously because we look so dorky," Taira shot out.

Ben sweat dropped at that as he looked to Taira, "I didn't say that."

"No, but you were thinking it," Naga jot out.

"It doesn't matter anyway! Once we beat you, then we'll be the toughest, and then all the girls' will be flocking towards us!" Kasahara frowned. "I wish it would not have to come to this, but for our idols, we will do whatever it takes! COALITION, ALGAMATION!"

"HUZZAH!" Taira and Naga cried along with their leader. "ALGAMATION!"

Naga positioned his neck to that Taira could stand on it. Kasahara spun like a top and took to the air. He came to a stop on time of Taira's head. As they made contact, everyone else's world was filled with light. Everyone had to shield ther eyes for a moment as the glare died down. When it did, they all got a surprise.

Instead of three small monsters, one big monster stood in their place. He had a large fleshy body with a face on the chest. His back held an umbrella while the head on his shoulders had brown hair and a single eye. The same head was also on a long neck. And the big fellah wore the same dorky pink jacket like the fanboys did.

"Just call me big brother!" TaNaKa (Taira, Naga, Kasahara) gloated.

"Oh crap!" Ben gaped. He then looked to the girls and warned them,"Girls, stay back! This is dangerous!"

"Right you are, Ben Tennyson!" TaNaKa shouted as he charged at the human boy, and then brought down his fist on the boy.

"BEN, NO!" Moka cried out, as it was too late.

"Ben!" Kurumu shouted.

"Look out," Yukari cried out to him.

However, before the fist connected, Ben roll-dodged out of the way. He crouched in position, as TaNaKa looked in surprised, and asked, "Hey! What the hell? What gives?" He then stomped towards him, and tried to hit him again, only this time Ben slid underneath to dodge another swat. TaNaKa was getting fed up, even as the human head stretched out to wrap itself around the boy, but he hoped on the neck and easily dodged it. TaNaKa continued to try and at least clobber the boy stuck in human disguise, but it proved effortless, as he was dodging them with the efforts of a martial artist.

Until finally, TaNaKa shouted in frustration, "WHAT THE HELL? WHY CAN'T WE HIT YOU?!"

Ben slid to a halt, close enough to the girls, as he stood up, "I've been training myself for five years. I can't always rely on my 'true forms', so I've been strengthening my human self as well."

"Ben!" Moka cried as she reached her American friend first. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Ben grimaced. Standing up defiantly, he glared at TaNaKa. "But you three have to get away. This guy means business!"

"No way!" Kurumu cried. "You're my Destined One! I'm not just going to abandon you!"

"That's right!" Yukari nodded. "You fought for us! Now we'll fight for you!"

"Now we'll protect you today, Ben," Moka smiled. Taking his hand, she brought it up to her Rosario, and smiled gently, "Please?"

Ben gulped. He hated the thought of having others fight for him. But with the Omnitrix timed out, did he really have an option? Plus, whenever Moka smiled like that, even when she needed blood, he couldn't say no to her. Frowning, he gripped the rosario and with a single tug, it came off cleanly.

Moka's body immediately pulsed with demonic energy. Her pink hair turned platinum silver and her body seemed to mature. Her fangs became more pronounced while her eyes turned a crimson red. Her body pulsed with the power of the vampire, making the huge TaNaKa freeze in his tracks.

"Hmmm, so I take it you three are the reason I was awakened," Moka-sama frowned as she took in the sight. "It seems trash is trash no matter where you go."

"So cold," TaNaKa shivered. He then started crying happily. "But our true idol has arrived! Hooray! The platinum hair, those cold red eyes, and that smoking body of hers… SHE'S OUR TRUE IDOL, THE ONE WE HAVE AWAITED FOR!"

Moka-sama couldn't help but twitch an eyebrow at this scene, as she grumbled, "Pathetic." Moka-sama was about to step forward, when a rapid beeping noise caught her attention. She and her group of friends all looked down at the Omnitrix, which was blinking brightly a shade of yellow. Moka-sama frowned and stepped closer, which made the device blink and beep faster.

"It's reacting to me?" the vampire frowned in question.

Ben blinked in confusion, "It hasn't done this in a while. The only way it would do that… would be that it was acquiring a new DNA sample."

However, only he and Moka knew that it would only do that when an Alien was nearby. And seeing that none were around, this was a strange new mystery to boot. The Omnitrix had never done anything like this before. Holding it up, he tried to see what was happening. To his complete surprise though, the alien device activated itself, fully recharged green lens and all, but producing an image of a hulking reptilian-like alien.

"What's that?" Yukari asked curiously. "That's not one of the forms you've used before!"

"I've never seen it before, either," Ben blinked. "I've never had it, not five years ago anyway."

"Now seems to be a good time to put it to good use," Moka-sama commented. "The trash is looking impatient."

Ben looked up to see the incoming TaNaKa. Frowning, he raised his hand and pressed it down on the Omnitrix face, bringing out a green flash.

Ben's body swelled with muscle and was overtaken by brownish orange, scaly skin. His face became saurian with a small tail coming out from behind. His feet turned trunk-like and his body grew to twelve feet in height. He wore black boxer briefs with white trim on the waist, along with a green belt sash across his chest, and in the center of it the symbol of the Omnitrix appeared.

"Humongousaur!" the new alien roared, raising his bulky arms into the air.

Omnitrix Encyclopedia

Humongousaur A.K.A. Vaxasaurian

This species comes from the planet of Terradino. They are very strong physically and aren't afraid to show it. They are also highly resistant to injury. A major ability they possess is the ability to increase their mass. They can grow up to sixty feet tall and their strength grows to match it. Their dinosaur features also become more pronounced. A very powerful being to have in Ben's arsenal. However, due to their reptilian DNA origins, like lizards, they're coldblooded, so that alone is an effective weakness.

Humongousaur flexed his arms, grinning widely. "I could get to like this!" He turned his green eyes on the incoming Tanaka. "OK, let's take this freak down!" Humongousaur roared and charged straight for TaNaKa.

"ALRIGHT!" Yukari squealed excitedly. "Fight hard, Ben! I mean, Humongousaur!"

"Hey, I'm not going to let these guys get away for bullying my Destined One!" Kurumu cried as she released her wings. "I'm fighting too!"

"I'm not going to stay out of this fight just to be a spectator," Moka-sama smirked before she started heading towards the fight.

"Okay! I'll fight too!" Yukari smiled.

TaNaKa was a little intimidated to see Humongousaur charging at him with a loud roar. Still, they were equal in size so it stood to reason that they had equal strength too. Getting ready, TaNaKa prepared for the fight.

"You may have gotten bigger, and that may not have been a form we were expecting before," the composite monster growled. "But you're not stronger than us!"

"Then I guess I'll have to change that!" Humongousaur grinned.

To TaNaKa's shock, Humongousaur actually began to grow bigger! His body continued to grow until he was twice his original size. And as he did, stegosaurus plates grew on his back and atop his head, as well as armored plating on his shoulders and forearms, and stegosaurus tail spikes on his tail. The composite monster gaped at the saurian biped that was still charging at them. Humongousaur didn't even try a witty comment before he punched TaNaKa with his enlarged fist.

"Gyaaaahhh!" the composite cried in pain as he skidded across the ground. However, Yukari summoned an air balloon underneath them, casuing them to bounce upward, with Kurumu charging a spiral stomping kick, sending them rapidly crashing down to the ground. He came to a stop before his body flashed, returning him to Taira, Naga, and Kasahara in their human forms.

"We can still win," Naga growled as he struggled to get up.

"The bigger they are," Taira nodded.

"The harder they fall!" Kasahara finished.

"Trash like you should know when you're beaten," a grim female voice spoke from behind. All three fanboys turned around to see Moka-sama, Yukari, and Kurumu glaring at them.

"IDOL-SAMA!" the boys cried in delight before lunging at the girls, hoping to actually touch them.

"Hnn! Get lost, losers," Moka-sama growled before she unleashed her trademark kick, "KNOW YOUR PLACE!" Her foot collided with the three, sending them all sailing with hearts in their eyes. One of their idols had touched them!

"Pathetic," Kurumu sighed.

"They're creepy," Yukari huffed.

Humongosaur just shook his head before touching the Omnitrix symbol. His entire body flashed green and he turned back to normal Ben Tennyson. He handed Moka's rosario back to her to put on, resealing her power once more. But before she resealed herself, she looked to Ben sternly, and acted like a big sister teaching a sibling something important, "Benjamin!" The boy nearly froze in his tracks, as he lectured, "Your leaving doesn't work for me." Ben cocked an eyebrow in confusion, as she crossed her arms, and pointed out, "Because if you left, that would mean no more food for yours truly." She even turned to look at Ben, and smiled, exposing her fangs, "And besides… it would make the Outer me sad. You'd be breaking her heart."

"Say what?" Ben asked, completely confused.

Kurumu gently grabbed his arm, and smiled, "Not having Moka drink your blood would be a good thing. But I'd miss you too much."

Yukari ran up to him, and hugged him deeply, crying out, "Please, Ben! Don't leave."

"Leaving? Who said I was leaving?" Ben asked. "I'm not leaving Youkai Academy."

The girls eyes lit up with surprise, even Inner Moka's eyes were a bit lit up by that piece of information. But Kurumu asked, "But then… what are you doing out here at the bus stop?"

"Yeah, I saw you walking out of campus with a backpack," Yukari pointed out, "And your even wearing casual clothing."

"I like to dress casual when school's out; uniforms make me stiff," Ben confessed, and then held the backpack up, "I'm also using this to carry out a month's worht of letters for my family. The only reason I'm here is that I'm trying to ask the bus driver, if he could deliver these letters to the nearest post office out in the Human World." He raised an eyebrow as he asked, "Who gave you that idea that I was leaving the school?"

Both Kurumu and Yukari looked to each other, and then to Inner Moka, seeing as how she was the one that jumped the conclusion. She seemed a bit annoyed at the attention, and turned to hide her face from them, as Ben chuckled, which irked Inner Moka. She turned and shot out, "AND WHAT'S SO DAMN FUNNY?!"

"Sorry about that," Ben chuckled, as the bus came only a few feet from them before stopping. After the driver commended on the boy about the letters, he gratefully did the boy the favor of delivering them. As soon as the bus took off back into the tunnel, he looked to Moka-sama and smirked, "I just can't believe you and the Outer you jumped to thinking I'd leave. After what we've gone through so far."

Inner Moka just huffed, "I swear, you become more and more confusing with every day."

She then latched the seal back on, reverting back to Moka again, as she fell into Ben's arms. As he held her close, she rested her head next to his shoulder, allowing a small tear to escape, as she whispered for only him to hear, "I don't want you to leave… please stay, Ben…"

Ben just held her in his arms, even as Yukari and Kurumu smirked at him as well, as a silent plea to never leave them at all. To that response, Ben smiled at them, and nodded silently that he would never abandon them or others.

In the Tunnel, the bus driver smirked, "It's commendable that you're sticking to this campus. Gotta admit, for a Plumber's kid, you're taking a long and twisted road. Wonder how Max'll react when he hears about all your adventures at Youkai?"

The Next Day

"So, you really never saw that form before?" asked Moka. She and Ben were walking towards the school, hoping to meet up with Kurumu and Yukari later on, though they'd probably get the drop later on. But during that time, Ben had explained what happened yesterday when Inner Moka was near the charging Omnitrix. Apparently Ben figured it reacted to her energies, and somehow unlocked the new addition, Humongousaur.

"No, but the Omnitrix has given me new forms by accident before," stated Ben, recalling how he'd gained use of Wildvine, Ditto and Cannonbolt. "I guess in emergencies, the Omnitrix unlocks new aliens."

"Well, how many there are," Moka asked.

"Well, one time, my cousin Gwen and I went to the future," Ben explained one of his crazy adventures to her, "There, we met our future selves, and in it, I found that I had 10,000 alien forms."

"10,000!?" exclaimed Moka, gasping in utter shock.

"There are a lot of things I don't know about the Omnitrix, but the creator told me I would learn in time," said Ben. "He just told me to use it to do the right thing."

"Sounds like good advice," agreed Moka.

Ben and Moka were enjoying their walk to school again. It was the day after the attack of the fanboys and all parties involved were enjoying not being stalked again. Of course, Ben would have liked to practice with Humongousaur again. After all, he didn't perfect his battle tactics with his alien forms overnight.

"So what do you think happened to those guys anyway?" asked Moka

"Don't know, really don't care," Ben sighed. "If I never see another fanboy again, I'll be happy about that."

"IDOL-SAMA!" thee voices cried out.

Moka and Ben froze at the cry. Looking ahead, they spotted three familiar faces that were a plague in the past. They were still wearing their horrible outfits and this time they were waving flags with Moka's name on them.

"The Vampire Fan Club has found our idol!" Taira cried out lovingly. "Let us bask in your glory!"

"Eh?" Moka blinked in shock.

"Fanboys," Ben sighed while rubbing his forehead. "Why does it have to be fanboys?"

"Oh yeah," Naga pointed to Ben, "Not that I don't care or anything, but I heard from the staff that we'll be getting phonelines all over campus that'll connect to the Human World. Even a working pay phone in the Boys Dorm connecting to it as well." Ben seemed deeply surprusied by that, even at the next tidbit of info, "Also, that bus that usually comes once a month, they've got it coming once a day now."

Moka smiled to Ben as she cheerfully exclaimed, "Isn't that great, Ben? You can stay in touch with your family back in Bellwood."

Ben smirked, "Yeah, that is good news." He then noticed Moka, taking a sniff at him, as he gulped, seeing a familiar blushing daze on her face as she looked at him, "Uh, Moka…? Oh no."

"Oh, Ben… you smell so good… BEN!" She then lunged at him, knocking him down on the ground, as her fangs popped up, and another bite on the neck, "CHU!"

"Moka, we're in school!" Ben cried out.
