Ben 10 Alien to Vampire

Chapter 21: A Jolt From the Past; Who Can You Trust?

Youkai Academy

Night

Youkai Academy was pretty much the same, quiet as ever, even at the night time. However, things weren't going so well at the moment as Ben was dashing away from the corner of the school grounds. His face wrote panic frenzy at the moment as did Kevin as he followed around the corner as well as the former member of the Security Enforcers, Deshiko Dashi. The two had the same face as Ben had: silent and frenzied panic. Whatever it was, it was enough to unnerve the infamous Kevin Levin, the former Enforcer Deshiko Dashi and even the cosmically known Ben Tennyson who hadn't shown panic like this since being a kid.

The two caught up to Ben in time as he asked "Did we lose them?"

"What do you think!?" Kevin replied, as the trio looked behind them and low and behold, they all witnessed an unforeseen sight.

There, flying after them, was a swarm of strange creatures, shooting lightning bolts all around the place. The creatures appeared to be half a foot in height, almost the size of a baby, resembling batteries of sorts. And \ were black and yellow, with plus and minus symbols on their back(+ and -), similar to a battery, and a lightning bolt on their chest. They had pointy legs, and have three fingers on each hand. These where the creatures known as Nosedeenians, or more commonly on Earth, were called Megawhatts.

Alien Database Nosedeenians aka Megawhatts

Nosedeenians, colloquially known as Megawhatts, are mischievous little creatures composed of electrical energy who have the physical form of anthropomorphic batteries from the Nosedeen Quasar. The Nosedeen Quasar is a quasar that emits vast amounts of energy.

The Nosedeenian language consists of a series of high-pitched squeaking and chirping noises. Nosedeenians exist to have "fun," which in their case is to cause trouble wherever they go. While they cause a lot of damage, Nosedeenians do not seem to be evil, and in fact are not openly hostile to humans, merely lacking any self-control or sense of the danger they may be causing.

Nosedeenians openly attack if they are provoked.

Nosedeenians can control electricity and can inhabit electrical devices, controlling them from the inside.

Nosedeenians grow stronger by absorbing electricity and can multiply if split in half or have enough power. It should be noted that when the one Ben first encountered split, both it and its clone seem to be surprised, as if they didn't know they were capable of doing it.

It should be noted that Nosedeenians are surprisingly strong for their size, as just one was able to lift Grandpa Max, who was many times its size, into the air by his underwear and giving him a flying wedgie.

Another notable ability is that the noises Nosedeenians normally use to communicate with can, at a certain pitch and volume, can be used as a sonic scream which can shatter glass. Being made from electrical energy, Nosedeenians are weak against things that ground it (water being a chief example) and they are powerless against insulators.

The Megawhatts kept shooting bolts of electricity all over the place, while they continued to laugh all crazy, as well as going after the three teens.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YUKARI AFTER THIS!" Kevin shouted comically as he dodged for his life.

As this continued, all Ben could do at the moment, was comically shouts out, "HOW THE HECK DID THIS WHOLE MESS EVEN GET STARTED?!"

Three Days Ago

After Ben had recovered from the battle against the Kuyou, he figured things would go normal again. Well, maybe things weren't as normal as you'd think when you had an alien piece of technology that could turn you into 10,000 different aliens just by selection. On top of that, you'd find that you were sent to a school full of monsters disguised as humans in future attempts to blend in with them once they graduated. As well as being known as one of the most feared and heroic beings in the universe, after saving it a couple of times, things could be considered normal. However for Ben things weren't as normal as you'd think anymore.

Once Ben was well enough he began to head back to school again. However once he got down the halls or was even noticed by students they had mixed reactions around his presence. Some actually feared him around the place; the first ever human attending the school, when this school was meant to keep them safe from his kind. A few going unnoticed by him or anyone else looked at him in disgust and hatred just on the fact that he was human. Though it was probably more on the fact that the hottest girls on campus were hanging around him, even though they now knew that he was human. The fact that they knew that and still hung around him just seemed to further make him even more envious to the other boys.

And then there were those that seemed to smile around him and greet him like the rest of the crowd. In fact, some were grateful to him, probably due to the fact he took down the Security Enforcers. More in fact, the students seemed to cheer on him, thanking him for taking down Kuyou most of all. The Fox Demon must have had a stranglehold on the whole school, if they thanked him so deeply. It was why he had to take special precautions around that particular group of people. That's why before he got to his club, he transformed into Ghostfreak, and went invisible to just get to the Club's temporary station.

Newspaper Club Room

After successfully navigating through the place, Ghostfreak fazed through the ceiling. He then sighed, "Well, that's a relief. I thought I could get used to the idea of being famous, but this is ridiculous." He then switched back, as Ben sat down in a chair sighing big time "If my secret got out to public, I'd be going out of my mind."

"BEN!" Kurumu suddenly shouted surprising Ben as she did her trademark boob glomp on him. He struggled to breathe and break free as she gushed all over him "Oh Ben, my human knight. Your princess is here to greet her prince…"

But then she got frozen up, as Mizore pushed her to the side, and gently hugged Ben causing him to get chills. "No way, Boob-zilla," Mizore cooed, as she nuzzled him cheek to cheek "He's my prince… from another galaxy."

But suddenly a teapot floated out of nowhere chasing Mizore around the classroom with hot water pouring out. "You're both out of your league," Yukari pointed out holding her wand "You dimwits get your hormones in order. Ben's still in need to recuperate after Kuyou's brutal fight." She then giggled, as she quickly ran over to him, and embraced him gently "If you want, I could stay over in your room, and give you some private care."

"You're all out of your league," Moka's voice spoke out getting not just Ben's attention, but the girls as well. Finally, she pounced right at Ben, comically knocking Yukari aside, as she announced, "Because Ben's mine and mine alone!"

CHU!

"Ack! Right now?" Ben cried out as Moka partook in his blood. "Seriously, I'm still in recovery, and already, you're turning me into a breakfast/lunch/dinner TV meal again!"

All the while this had happened Kevin was eating a bag of popcorn with Gin. "I don't think I'll ever get tired of this," Gin mentioned as he was eating popcorn and reading the latest draft of their paper. But then he stopped for a moment as he looked to Kevin as he asked "By the way, what are you doing here? As I recall, you're not in the Newspaper Club. As a matter of fact, you're not in any club."

"Saving for Shop Class when it opens up again," Kevin replied and chuckled at the scene, "And besides… aside from watching Rath fight all the time, watching these girls dog pile on Tennyson's just as fun."

Gin arched an eyebrow and looked at the popcorn "Hmm, so that explains why you brought a bag of freshly popped popcorn."

So far things were easily much well within the Newspaper Club plus Kevin, well maybe not as much. While Ben was bed ridden and only up to be awake. At that time, the girls had asked him about what was really going on like about the Omnitrix and even as such the creatures that he transformed into. Well Ben figured there was no time like the present. He and Moka had told the three other girls about what really was going on. The Omnitrix was actually a Level 20 based technology that allowed its user to transform into a number of aliens that were accessible. Some forms were set in as the Basic Ten, and others that Ben had unlocked five years ago. And now, new forms had been unlocked, thanks to the monsters of this school. He and Moka had also told them about the adventures he had when he was ten years old.

But not all of it was a fairy tale. He had also told the girls about Vilgax the warlord who wanted the Omnitrix to be duplicated and be used to build an army of aliens capable of conquering worlds. And along that summer vacation there were others who sought out the power of the Omnitrix. Malware, a corrupted Mechamorph who wanted to use the power of the Omnitrix to take his revenge on his people of Galvan B, as well as the creator of the Mechamorph race as well as the Omnitrix: Azmuth. Dr. Animo, a crazed genetics scientist who loved to create mutant chimeras, and made it even more so by acquiring the DNA stored within the Omnitrix. Then there were the Forever Knights; a bunch of humans who dressed up like it was a Renaissance fair year round taking Alien technology and using it for their own purposes. Not to mention the former Kevin Levin, who once called himself Kevin 11, after becoming an amalgam of Ben's first ten Aliens.

That also didn't go well, as Yukari waved her wand… and smashed five wash pales on Kevin's head, knocking him down on the ground. He steadied himself back on the desk, and shot glares at Yukari, "What the heck did you do that for?!"

Yukari pointed her wand at Kevin, as she sneered, "Declaring war on you, Kevin 11! You can't fool me or the others."

Kurumu pointed out, as her claws shot out, pointing right at him, "From the whole stories we heard from Ben, you were the most relentless to get the Omnitrix next to this Vilgax guy."

"And if you try to do anything to hurt Ben," Mizore threatened, as her ice claws formed, and her eyes glowed ice white and blue. "I'll freeze you solid." And froze the floor around her, freaking out everybody around the place.

Suddenly, a force field gently pushed the three girls back, as Gwen switched it off, while walking into the room. "Come on, you guys," Gwen did her best to defend Kevin's better side. "I know Kevin's had a checkered past, but he's different now. He's good."

"Says the girl who nearly got torched by him when he was framing Ben," Mizore pointed out, as she hid behind a desk.

Gwen took that as an offence, as she defended, "I was ten years old!" She then huffed, as she crossed her arms, "Besides, back then, he was immature, stuck up, snobbish, arrogant, a complete bad boy slob…"

As Gwen continued to spout such comments Kevin had a frown and twitch in his eye brow wondering how long she was going to keep listing insults. Kurumu on the other hand was slowly figuring out something. She snickered, as she teased, "You know what I think, Gwen? I think you've got a little crush on Kevin Levin."

Once that was heard Gwen stopped as a light blush appeared on her cheeks as she denied, "Ah! I do not!"

While Ben was recovering Miss Nekonomi stepped in, bringing her cheerful cat nature into the situation. "Okay everybody settle down." She then almost jumped with excitement as she announced "I've got some good news. Today we'll be having two new members to the Newspaper Club!" she looked at the door and smirked "Come on in, don't be shy."

At first, the others were in quiet anticipation, wondering who it was that could have joined. However, their curious gazes turned into shocked looks of both surprise and angered suspicion. It was Deshiko Dashi, still in her Security Enforcers uniform and her staff folded up in three parts and strapped to her back.

She innocently walked in and bowed respectfully introducing herself to the others. "Greetings and salutations," Deshiko smiled innocently, "I'm Deshiko Dashi, formerly of the Security Enforcers, and now member of the Newspaper Club." However, she heard a lot of desks being knocked over and opened her eyes as she saw everyone minus Ben, Kevin, Gwen and even Moka, scooted into the corner in both freaking out and suspicion. Deshiko blinked at this, as she asked, "Is something wrong?"

Suddenly, Kurumu, Mizore, and even Yukari pulled out the stops and surrounded Deshiko with their claws and wand. Kurumu, being the blunt one sneered in anger and distrust as she shouted out "You! I thought you were taken away with the other Enforcers!"

"So you're here to avenge Kuyou and the others by sneaking in to our club," Yukari surmised, as her wand charged up.

Mizore flexed her ice claws, as her icy nature was becoming more menacing, "I'll freeze you before you can even hurt Ben."

Miss Nekonomi shook a little as she did her best to calm her students down "No, girls. Wait a minute. Hear me out…" but the girls were more focused on the Security Enforcer to even notice her. She realized this, as her shoulders slumped in defeat, "Mweow, why does this always happen?"

But before they could attack a crystal barrier formed around Deshiko protectively. The three girls turned and saw Diamondhead knelt down and shown to have made the barrier as he asked, "Can you guys just try not to jump on her. Deshiko's here because I asked her to join up as part of her probation."

The three girls blinked at this, as they shouted, "PROBATION?! WHAT?!"

Miss Nekonomi jumped in as well, as she explained, "Of course. Like Mister Levin, Miss Dashi's been released on special terms by the Plumbers and Ben's request. It also didn't hurt her when Miss Akashiya suggested she'd be a part of our club as well."

The other girls blinked at this, as they looked at Moka whom popped up next to Diamondhead as he retracted the barrier. Moka nodded, "She did watch over me and Ben while I was transfusing him." She then walked over to Deshiko, and defended her as well. "She had the chance to attack both me and him at that time, but she didn't. and when the Enforcers surrounded us, she stood by us the whole time. Doesn't that mean we can trust her without the reason of a doubt?"

Kurumu just huffed at that, as she pointed to her, "That's only the reason because she was labeled as a traitor to Kuyou and the others." She then frowned to Moka, as she stated "You're also way too trustworthy around people, Moka!" she then dashed to Ben's side glomping him as usual and glared at Deshiko "And as for you, Dashi… Ben's my soul mate: hurt him, and I'll hurt you tenfold." She then purred to Ben, who was struggling to get free, "I'd never do anything that would hurt you, Ben."

'Yeah, that's great,' Ben thought, as he struggled to break free. 'But can you not try and smother me like this?'

THWACK!

Kurumu went down, releasing Ben in the process, as Yukari had smacked her with her washpan. "Seriously, you hussy. Keep that up, you'll smother Ben to death with those big honkers of yours," Yukari scolded. She then giggled, and ran to Ben, hugging him, as she winked to the others, "Besides, the real one who can take care of Ben is me."

Kurumu yanked her away from him, as she scolded, "Like Hell you can! You're just a surfboard. Wait 'til you're older."

"You mean like you, Missile Deck?"

"Little Boy!"

"Melon Rack!"

But then suddenly, the two were frozen solid, as Mizore gently placed her hands on Ben's shoulders, and rested her head to the back of his. "Those two need way more time to mature," Mizore shot out, and brought Ben over, as she wrapped her arms around him, resting the back of his head on her breasts, as she cooed, "You prefer me more than those two, don't you, Ben?"

Ben just shivered, as he answered, "Mizore, could you turn down the temperature, please?"

Moka effectively kicked Mizore off, as she huffed, "Can you guys please cool down, just this once?"

As Kevin got up, he shrugged, "Guess I'm no longer wanted here." And walked out of the room.

However, Gwen stopped him as she asked, "Kevin, wait…"

"You guys maybe all in for teamwork now or later on, whenever this little lover's squabble ends," Kevin finished, as he pulled away. "But let me know when you're done playing around." And was off to wherever he was going.

"Well, that was a bit of a rude excuse," a new voice popped up.

The new voice came from a boy leaning on the door. He was a Caucasian, American in origin, age sixteen of appearance, with blonde hair slicked back and dazzling blue eyes. Physically fit and a dream boat to any girl looking at him. He was dressed in the Youkai Academy male uniform, but with a brown scarf around his neck. For any girl, minus the harem that Ben was making, not much to his choice or decision, this guy was the icon of any girl's fantasy.

Miss Nekonomi introduced him to the class, "Everyone. This is Michael Morningstar. He's a transfer student from another homeroom class, but he's been adamant on joining the Newspaper Club."

"It's nice to meet you all," Michael bowed respectfully to everyone and even shook Ben's hand. "And it's nice to finally meet the infamous Benjamin Tennyson and to thank you."

Ben blinked a moment and asked, "Um, thank me for what?"

"Why stopping and defeating Kuyou," Michael answered. "You did all of Youkai Academy a huge favor." But then his eyes seemed fixated on Moka, as he ignored Ben for the moment, and walked up to her, "And you must be Moka Akashiya, am I right?"

Moka, slightly embarrassed for some reason, blushed a little, as she replied, "Um, yes, of course."

Michael then seemed to speak out, "I know it's none of my business to say so, but I gotta admit, Ben offering his blood to you seems pretty chivalrous." That caused the vampire girl and even Ben to get embarrassed by that, until Michael pointed out, "Though in actuality, it's kind of a hassle, considering Vampires are the most strongest of monsters, they also have all these laws and weaknesses."

"Yeah, yeah, we know that much," Yukari pointed. "A vampire must be invited into another's home. A vampire must never drink from the dead…"

"And there's also that law about choosing a lover," Michael added in, getting Moka, and Ben's, attention, "No matter how generous you are, no matter how you truly feel… it just won't work out." This earned a silence among the classroom, but Michael sheepishly shrugged, "Uh, sorry about that. I'm a stickler for rules, considering I'm something of a vampire myself."

Ben blinked at that thought, and then looked at Moka, who seemed silently distressed by it, 'A law? What's he talking about?'

Two Days Later

Things had gone pretty well for the Newspaper Club for the past two days ever since. Stories had been churning up on the latest events, but with a new article: Alien Activities. Considering that the truth got out around the school that Aliens existed, thanks to the Plumbers showing up that day, students were buzzing around on events. They wanted to know more about the world outside of their own, so they had to go with what they knew about the worlds that Ben had learned about from his alien forms. Though the work would have gone much better and smoothly had there been less bumps in the road.

Apparently Deshiko had been picked on and laughed at, but mostly done by students who still resented the Security Enforcers. Not to mention Michael Morningstar and Moka were not seen around either. Apparently the two vampires were playing hooky during club hours. Ben also wasn't much help at the matter during club hours. He seemed like he was distracted by something.

He had been constantly switching to Grey Matter most of the time and twiddled with the Omnitrix dial on his back while taking notes of some kind that he hung on the walls. So far a large corner of the room looked like one of those conspiracy rooms where you'd find dozens of papers hanging from the ceiling detailing possible connections with each other.

Finally, Yukari, who was the only one present at the moment, asked, "Umm, Ben? I'm sorry to ask but what are you doing?"

"I am attempting to use dialectic tones to uncover full DNA biometric utilization for optimal combat capability in future battles. Thus, configuring the Omnitrix to its previous setting, which will allow me to acquire complete stability, without the finalization of worrying about a genetic code rewrite of the selected DNA," Grey Matter said as if it was obvious… before he turned to see Yukari's face.

Yukari was looking at him in with complete cluelessness. She may be a genius by Earth standards, but it became clear to her that the intelligence of alien life forms, especially the Galvan species, were far beyond her understanding.

"Umm…what does that mean?" she asked dumbly as she couldn't think of a smarter comment.

"I'm trying to unlock the Master Control of the Omnitrix," Grey Matter explained.

Yukari blinked, "Master Control?"

Grey Matter explained further, while he continued to dial in another combination, "It's a program that adds a master function. Basically it allows access to change me into my alien forms without the need to dial in the alien. And, as an added bonus, also gives me unlimited timing too will utilizing a safety lock to keep any of the aliens influence from taking over me."

Yukari looked by in slight awe about it, and nodded "Wow! That actually sounds like it would be really useful." But then she asked, "But why do you need to look for the dial code?"

"Because the master control is contained in a specific dial sequence code, that I need to decipher if I want to unlock it. I had it once before when I was ten," Grey Matter answered before he wrote down something that Yukari thought were statistic charts and combination codes for dialing. After that, he went for another code on his back. "But then I stupidly reset it when Vilgax had it, thinking he wouldn't be able to use it but it turns out he would've been able to unlock it himself. Thankfully I got it back before he could merge with it. I'd try to hack into it but… well I don't wanna take that chance and have something horrible happening."

Yukari thought about it and then asked "Why not ask the creator of the Omnitrix to give it to you? You know, um… Azmuth?"

At that moment the dial turned red and Grey Matter then changed back as Ben sighed sitting in his chair. "I think he might've forgotten it too. That and I told myself I'd figure it out on my own." He looked to Yukari, as she didn't seem to believe it as Ben sighed, "I also tried to once but he said he'd try to get around it… in two years."

"And how long ago was that?"

"Two years ago."

Yukari groaned "For such an advanced race of geniuses they really don't know how to use their time wisely." She then looked to Ben, as she berated, "And shouldn't you do something about Moka? She's been latched onto Morningstar like crazy! I mean, seriously… I thought you cared about her?"

"Believe me, I do," Ben confessed but sighed. "But Morningstar mentioned something about a law. When I had the chance to be alone with him, I asked him about it. He told me that Vampires believe themselves a superior race, and that mixed bloods shouldn't be diluted. He also mentioned that if a Vampire married to a different breed and had a child it would be called a Dhampire. Not a complete vampire, so it would be bullied and frowned upon as a half-breed." Ben sighed, almost sadly as he finished "To put in lament's terms: A vampire can only be paired with another vampire."

Yukari blinked at that, and then looked to Ben, 'Wow. Whether he's gonna deny it plenty, or if he's just an idiot… ' She then smiled tenderly at him, 'He really does care about her.' But then she saw him walk away, as she asked, "Hold on, where are you going?"

"I'm gonna check on Kevin," Ben replied, "Now that I know where his garage's at I'd like to talk to him about something."

Once he left the room, Yukari bolted after him, "Hey, Ben. Wait up! We haven't finished the Micheal problem!" she stopped as she noticed that he had already bolted. She huffed, "Figures he'd be running away like that." She then started walking around the place fuming "It's just not fair at times. I'm in high school and I…"

But then she heard rustling coming from the vents. She blinked for a moment, as it was getting louder, and louder. Until…

Something burst out of the vents, startling the little witch. Then, as the dust settled, and she could see again, she noticed a little black and yellow creature, resembling a battery and no bigger than a teddy bear. The creature looked at Yukari for a moment, and Yukari looked at him, as she smiled, "How cute!"

Outside by the woods

Ben had left the club to look for Kevin. He had checked around school but he wasn't there so he decided to try the woods and wouldn't you know it, he was there. So he caught up to him and asked where he was going which turned out to be his garage so Ben decided to join so he can see the place. As they walked they started simple talks until Kevin suddenly decided to give the conversation a 180 turn.

"You certainly seemed to have become good with the ladies. But you do know that polygamy isn't legal anymore right?" Kevin said as he smirked seeing Bens face go red with embarrassment at that mention.

"DUDE! That's not funny at all!" Ben shouted as he found that kind of topic something he'd never want to talk about even if he was dying in the cold depths of space.

"Actually it is after seeing your face. Also I don't see what you're complaining about, you have 3 hot girls that want to be with you, although personally I don't see what's so great about you, besides your undefeated record," Kevin stated smugly, as they walked to his garage.

Ben raised an eyebrow at hearing the number. "Umm it's 4 girls not 3," he said, as he counted off Moka, Kurumu, Mizore and Yukari.

Kevin shrugged his shoulders "Yeah but that girl Yukari doesn't count due to her age, and I think we can both agree that you obviously won't get together with her at all since you're not some lolicon… or are you?"

Ben glared at Kevin. "Are you naturally this annoying, or did you work at it while in the Null Void now that you're not causing me trouble trying to take the Omnitrix," he questioned while wondering.

"It's one of my newly discovered gift," Kevin said simply, as they arrived at his private garage, which was actually an abandoned miniature dorm room that was seemed to have only one floor, and was much smaller compared to the other dorms where it seemed like only two students would've lived there.

"This is your garage?" Ben asked as he thought it would be different.

"It is now that I claimed it and renovated the inside," Kevin said as he walked to the door and placed his hand on the wall where suddenly to Ben's surprise a control panel appeared and Kevin typed in a code before the door unlocked and he opened it. When he walked in Ben followed to see an amazing collection of alien tech inside the facility.

"Holy…" Ben said and couldn't finish as he saw all the awesome stuff that was in here.

There were laser looking blasters hung up on a wall, a full armored battle robot on one corner, a shelve full of different things he couldn't identify and surprisingly a car that was under construction. However the most interesting thing was that the inner walls were all made of some kind of alien metal that completely covered the place in its grey shine.

"Where the hell did you get all this stuff and how did you even sneak it into the academy?" Ben asked wondering how Kevin could've snuck all this stuff without anyone seeming to notice.

"One word Ben…discretion…and the fact that I was an expert alien tech smuggler before the plumbers arrested me and sent me here for parole" Kevin said earning a look from Ben. "Relax this is just stuff I've been allowed to keep for personal use"

"And the giant battle robot on the corner over there?" Ben said sarcastically while pointing to the mentioned robot on the corner. It was a nine foot, bulky, alien-looking robot, colored gray, black, and blue, with the only distinguished feature was a Y-shaped antenna placed on the brow of the helmet's nose.

Kevin smirked "That is a sweet piece of tech that's going to help pay for my future ride".

Ben raised an eye brow "You're going to sell a robot to pay for a car?" he asked not sure where Kevin was going with this.

"No," Kevin said. "I'm selling that robot to pay for the parts that I'm going to use to build my car, since as the saying goes if you want something done right then do it yourself."

"And how'd you learn to build a car?" Ben wondered, since Kevin was never a tech kind of person and considering how long he was in the null void it made him wonder how long he had been walking back on earth.

"You'd be surprised how fast someone can learn to do things after finally getting the taste of sweet freedom," Kevin replied.

"Right…so can I help you finish it?" Ben asked while looking at the car with a sort of longing look and admiration.

"Not a chance in hell," Kevin quickly replied.

"Aww, come on! I bet with XLR8's speed and Upgrades skills we could build the sweetest ride on earth!" Ben whined as he really wanted to help out while thinking he could one day be allowed to drive it if Kevin owed him one.

"Forget it, Tennyson, this baby is all mine, and is going to be built by these two hands of mine and no one else's," Kevin stated "Besides you got other problems to deal with".

"Hmm what problems?" Ben asked not understanding what he meant.

Kevin sighed "Come on, Ben. Don't tell me you don't know, I'm talking about this new guy Michael Morningstar moving in on your girlfriend"

"SAY WHAT! She's not my girlfriend!" Ben corrected even though he was starting to believe that he was developing feelings for her but the problem was he wasn't sure which Moka was the one he actually liked.

"Really?" Kevin hummed in thought "I could've sworn she was, considering how close you two seemed".

Before Ben could comment on that a new voice spoke up.

"Kevin, stop messing with Ben. You know he has limits on thinking."

The guys turned around to see Gwen by the door with her arms crossed looking amused.

"What're you doing here Gwen and how did you get in?" Kevin asked.

"One of you forgot to close the door," Gwen said simply.

Hearing that Kevin palmed his face. "Ben!" he yelled.

"What? I forgot okay, besides I thought your door was high-tech enough to close by itself?" Ben defended himself.

"They don't, but I'll definitely have to put that thought into effect when I get more tech," Kevin stated.

"So why are you here Gwen?" Ben asked.

"Just getting some peace and quiet away from the others arguments, plus I wanted to see the place myself." Gwen looked around "I gotta say it's not bad although it looks like it could use a clean up," she said while wiping a finger on the wall showing some dust and dirt on it.

"Well excuse me but I wasn't expecting a neat freak to visit my place," Kevin said dully not liking his place being judged.

"Just giving a girls opinion," Gwen simply said.

"Whatever," Kevin grunted "So did you follow us here?"

"Actually I've known about this place for a while now," Gwen said, while smirking.

Hearing that, Kevin went wide eyed, as he nearly shouted, "Wait, you mean you knew about this place too?"

Gwen huffed, as she didn't act that shocked, "Kevin, I see you wander in around this place. It's what's called a public secret. Everyone knows about it, the only thing they don't know is what's inside since they don't want to mess with you especially after Kuyou got beaten by Ben. They figure you're a buddy of his so they don't want to mess with you either."

Kevin grumbled at this, as he sighed, "So much for working in secret."

"BEN!" another new voice called out as Kurumu suddenly flew in from the door and tackled Ben as she hugged him close, this time without planting his face in her bosom.

"Kurumu?" Ben questioned.

"Why'd you leave me back there? I was getting bored without you at the Club," Kurumu asked in mock sadness. "I even checked your dorm room at the window. But you weren't there to answer me."

Before Ben could answer an ice kunai flew through the door and imbedded itself on Kurumus forehead making her released Ben and fall to the ground from the shock.

"You really need to keep your hands off Ben," The voice now revealed to be Mizore said as she stepped inside.

Kurumu removed the kunai from her head and then got in Mizore's face. "And you need to stop throwing those things! Are you trying to kill someone with those things!?"

However before Mizore could answer another new voice spoke up.

"Hey, guys," Yukari popped up, as she called out, "Look what I found."

Kevin sighed as he wasn't in the mood and turned to the girls. But mostly, just out of annoyance to Yukari. "I'm a little busy here, so do you all mind…" but then paled, as he screamed out, "AAAAAAH!"

Ben and Gwen looked as well, as they saw what was in Yukari's arm. The Megawatt that she had befriended, sleeping in her arms like a little puppy. Ben immediately goes for an Alien transforming into Chromastone, as Gwen charged up mana in her hands and Kevin touched his car to armored up.

Seeing this, Kurumu and Mizore stepped in shielding the shocked Yukari as Mizore asked "Hey, what's going on? Why are you all freaking out like that?"

"Megawatt. MEGAWAAATT," Chromastone hysterically screamed out.

Yukari, a little freaked out by their behavior asked "What's a Megawatt?"

"The most dangerous alien vermin in all the known galaxies," Kevin answered while glaring at the sleeping alien as if it was the most evil thing in the universe.

The girls blinked at this, and turned to look at the little Megawatt, slightly confused. "That guy," Kurumu asked, credulously. But shook her head, as she stated, "C'mon, we're monstrous and powerful. The little guy's just… teeny."

Kevin replied, rather freaked out, "You have no idea the damage that teeny thing can do!"

Yukari didn't believe it, as she defended, "Oh, come on, look at him. He's harmless." She said while raising her arms a little to show him off more.

The Megawatt blinked its eyes, and low and behold it saw electronics galore. It immediately shot out of Yukari's arm laughing hysterically as it zoomed around shorting out every electronic device and shooting out bolts of electricity. The others could only stare in confusion, but only the Americans knew that they were in big trouble.
