Ben 10 Alien Vampire

Chapter 22: A Jolt from the Past; Who do you Trust? Pt.2

Kevin's Garage

The Megawatt was laughing insanely as it was flying everywhere in the garage. It shot itself into every electronic thing inside which caused them to spark and short circuit.

"What's it doing!?" Kurumu yelled in startled fear while covering herself from the sparks that all the electronics were giving off.

"He's going on a frenzy!" Kevin yelled in anger at seeing his precious gear being ruined by the little electric devil who was still laughing playfully. He touched the ground and turned his body to stone before he tried to catch the vile thing.

"Let's give him a hand," Gwen said urgently, as her hands lit up with mana, before she fired them as she tried to blast the Megawatt out of the air. But it was flying around too fast for her to get a direct hit.

"Megawatt, stop!" Yukari yelled suddenly, as the Megawatt suddenly stopped on a shelf and was looking at her curiously, as Kevin and Gwen stopped their pursuit of it.

"You're causing trouble and my friends want to get rid of you because they say you're too dangerous. But I think you just don't know right from wrong and need help to learn. Please stop your rampage and come back to me," She said gently as she didn't want her new friend to be an enemy, and who would have to be imprisoned and sent away like Kuyou was.

When she first saw him, she thought he was a cute little guy that could be her own friend like how Ship was to Moka. Now her friends were saying he was a dangerous being that had to be taken down and she didn't want that. The Megawatt just stared at Yukari with curiosity and what seemed like confusion to what she was saying. Ben, Kevin and Gwen knew why the reason why. Another problem with Megawatts was that not only did they not know right from wrong but they didn't have much of an understanding for the human language. They would understand sign language or body signs better and unfortunately none of them knew much about that.

Sadly for Yukari the Megawatt suddenly started laughing manically again before it lit up and shot into the Techadon Robot and brought it to life as it activated.

Chromastone grumbled, "Why does this happen to me?"

"Oh crap," Kevin said in discomfort, as he was not looking forward to fight his merchandise. The Techadon was what he was going to sell to pay for the parts for his car. But now with they were going to have to fight it and if he knew Ben then he was going totally wreck it.

"I got this one," Chromastone said before he charged in, only for the Techadon robot to suddenly sucker punch him and sent him crashing against the wall.

"BEN!" Kurumu and Mizore said in worry, before they both charged at the robot. Kurumu grew her wings and claws while Mizore grew her ice claws.

"Take this you overgrown wind-up toy!" Kurumu said as she flew up to the Techadon and avoided a swinging punch.

Before she swung her claws to cut him apart, but the moment her claws made contact sparks flew out as they were unable to break through its armor. At that moment, she reared her hand back in pain as she felt like her nails were almost going to break from it. Unfortunately for Kurumu, her distraction by the pain left an opening. As the Techadon's Y helmet began to glow before firing a laser that hit her dead on, and knocked her down before it fired again.

Mizore stepped in front of Kurumu and made a wall of ice that blocked the laser. But she was having trouble keeping it up as it just kept up its attack, and was threatening to breach her defense.

Gwen went around the ice wall and fired blasts of mana at the Techadon, but they just bounced off it's incredible armor without it even being bothered. As it stopped it attacked and turned its attention to her. She made a wall of mana and then pushed it back, while wrapping the wall around it to tie it up. But the Techadon was resisting and beginning to push its restraints back. Seeing this she turned to Kevin for help.

"Kevin how do we stop this thing!?" she asked wondering if this thing had any kind of weakness or kink in its armor for them to explore to their advantage.

"I don't know, the Techadon's are classified by levels to identify their combat capacity. But I have no idea which level this one is or how to take it down," Kevin clarified with distain at not knowing his merchandize.

"Then we'll have to keep trying until we find a way," Chromastone said, as he got up and hit his Omnitrix symbol before a flash of green appeared and Big Chill now stood in its place. "Mizore give me a hand in freezing this guy" he said as he took in a deep breath and then exhaled a gust of freezing wind as Mizore began to freeze make the Techadon's legs freeze in blocks of ice.

Their combined ice assault stopped the Techadon in its track as its entire body was eventually engulfed in a large block of ice. Both ice users stopped their attack as Big Chill reverted back to Ben.

"Well that wasn't so hard was it?" Ben said to Mizore who shook her.

"Compared to Kuyou this was a cake walk," Kevin said while being please to see his precious Techadon still in one piece and his place still standing.

Are you okay, Kurumu?" Gwen said as she helped her up and checked her hand.

"I'm fine, I thought my claw could tear that thing apart but its armor was so strong and dense I couldn't even scratch it" she said a little down that she couldn't do anything against it.

Before Gwen could console her friend the Techadon's body began to glow red and steam started forming from the ice imprisonment.

"Ohh, this is not good," Ben said which was proven right when the ice broke apart as the Techadon broke out and fired another laser which Gwen blocked with mana wall.

"I can't keep this up for long! We need a new plan!" Gwen said while she was struggling to hold up the wall.

Ben pressed the dial of his Omnitrix it glowed red before fading showing it needed time to recharge. "Oh man I hate when this happens" he said distantly as he was out of the fight for now.

"I got this" Kevin said before he touched the metal walls turning his body to the same compound and charged at the Techadon who started blasting him but he kept going as his body endured the blasts. Once he finally got close he jumped and gave the Techadon one big uppercut that sent it reeling back and fall on its back. "Keep him down, Gwen!"

Complying Gwen made another wall of restrains that connected to the ground over the Techadon who was now restrained. Only this time it couldn't get back up as it was weighted down by its own body and the restraints. So the Megawatt jumped out of it before a flash of green blinded it and suddenly it became completely covered in some sticky substance. It's whole now looked like it was in a cocoon.

"Oh yeah. I knew you wouldn't let me down, Omnitrix," The voice of Spidemonkey spoke up as he jumped in excitement with success. "Quick, Gwen! Get him before he gets out!"

Not needing to be told twice Gwen made a dome with the Megawatt inside as it got out of the cocoon and started to try and get out be shocking it and even pounding it to no avail.

"Sorry but you're not getting out of that one," Gwen said with reassurance as they saw it press it's face against the dome looking at them funny. They all took this as a sign that it gave up fighting back.

Everyone was taking deep breaths after the whole ordeal.

Kurumu and Mizore couldn't believe what they had just been through. They thought Yukari's new friend was a cute and harmless little guy but it turned out it was as dangerous as a psychotic lunatic on a sugar rush.

Yukari on the other hand was now looking embarrassed and a bit sad as she laughed sheepishly. "Well at least we're all okay," she said trying to lighten everyone up.

However as fate would have it, Kevin's car suddenly began to release electrical sparks before the hood popped open and exploded with the tires all going flat and the bumper falling off with smoke coming out as well. TO make matters worse the Techadon suddenly exploded too as parts flew everywhere and the only thing that was left was the helmet.

Kevin turned to what was becoming his beautiful ride with a face of frozen shock as he slowly walked towards it and picked the bumper before rubbing it affectionately. However after that his shoulders started to shake.

"Um Kevin, are you ok?" Gwen asked getting no response from him as he kept shaking.

"Are you…crying?" Mizore asked getting no answer as well.

After a minute Kevin got up and then turned to face everyone where now he had a disturbing smile on his face that looked like it was trying to contain anger.

Yukari saw that it was directed at her and didn't like it. She turned to Mizore and Kurumu and they both gave the same look that said "RUN!"

"Hey…come here for a second, Yukari," Kevin said with a twitching eye brow.

Yukari however had other plans. She quickly raised her wand causing wash pan to fall on Kevin's head before she ran out like hell, screaming, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Kevin however quickly recovered and then turned his body to concrete before he ran after. "GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE TWERP!" he said as he chased after her, intending to earn revenge for his now destroyed car.

"Like hell I am," Yukari shouted.

"You're too young to curse, kid," Kevin shouted back, as the chase continued.

As that whole chase began to happen, the Megawatt in Gwen's dome just kept laughing from finding the whole thing hilarious.

At that moment, Gwen looked to the two monster girls, as she stated, "Now do you guys see? All Megawatts or Nosedeenians do is suck up electricity and control anything electrical." She then scowled at the little Nosdeenian, as she commented, "That, and they've got a wicked sense of humor."

"Yeah, tell me about it," Kurumu winced, as she cradled her hand.

Ben blinked at this, as he realized Kurumu was a little hurt, as he knelt down to her, "Kurumu, you okay? Is your hand alright?"

Kurumu blinked, as she looked to her hand, "My hand?" but then an idea lit up in her head, as her chance to woo Ben came in. she leaned in to Ben, her back pressed to his chest, this time, as she gently took Ben's hand in hers, as she gently rubbed it in his. "Oh yeah, Ben. It's just unbearable. I think you might need to nurse me."

Gwen frowned, "Kurumu, your hand is fine." She then got serious, as she thought aloud, "But right now, I'm more concerned about this Megawatt."

Mizore raised an eyebrow, ignoring Yukari and Kevin still running around, "Why's that? We caught it, didn't we? Problem solved."

Ben spoke up, as he stated, "That's just it: what's a Megawatt doing on campus in the first place, how did it even get here? And more importantly, where are the others?" Ben pointed out, giving the monster girls much to pale about.

Kurumu stopped her flirting long enough, as she paled at that realization, and asked very terrified, "Others? You mean… others as in… more of them?"

"Swarms of them of them actually," Gwen pointed out. She turned to the running Yukari and extended her hand, where mana shot out and a wall was created right in between her and Kevin. Who unfortunately saw it too late and crashed into it face first and fell backwards nearly knocked out. "Where exactly did you find this one, Yukari?"

The young witch held herself up by her knees to catch her breath before she answered. "In the hallway between where our class is and the Newspaper Club's temporary position is," she politely answered, but then thought about it, "But the funny thing is, he wasn't part of a swarm when I found him. He was the only one that even showed up."

Ben reassured Kurumu at that time, but then asked, "So what's this one doing here all by itself? And where did it come from?"

"Well, at least this mystery will get your mind off of Moka for a while," Gwen reassured him, but then noticed Ben down in the dumps in a second at that moment. "Ben?"

Yukari sweat dropped, "You know, Gwen, despite you being a genius, you're kind of clueless about the moment."

The Next Day

Kurumu looked at Ben's concentrated gaze on Moka and Michael. She sighed sadly, seeing this side of him, "He looks so down. I know he's trying to hide it, but it's obvious he's concerned for Moka."

"It's no surprise," Yukari nodded. So far Moka and Michael had been skipping the News Club ever since he had joined up. All they ever did was hang out. But the really disturbing part was with Moka. She had looked exhausted, like she wasn't getting enough sleep or something. She was always wearing her jacket, and when she didn't, she never showed her arms; she always kept them covered for some odd reason. And worst of all, she was completely avoiding the others. And worst of all, avoiding him.

But Yukari tapped her chin, "But there's something else." She pulled out her handheld compact computer, and reviewed some information, "Michael Morningstar invoked the law of the Vampire's mating pact. But… I've been hearing a lot of rumors"

"Rumors?" Mizore asked, as she appeared upside down with them, hiding from the air duct. "What kind of rumors?"

Relaxing from the startle, Yukari explained, "Well, he's got quite the reputation for chasing every girl at school. Later on, after dating him for a week, the girls were weakened as well. They got so bad, they're in intensive care in the school's infirmary." She closed her laptop, and huffed, "I just can't believe Moka would even be involved with somebody like that."

"Well, it makes no difference to me," Kurumu pointed out, as she flipped her hair. "Ben's up for grabs now… and he's all mine." She then charged out as she called out, with a smile on her face, "Oh, Ben!" But then she blinked and stopped, as she saw he had gone. She looked around, "Ben? Hey, where'd you go?"

Yukari sighed, "Boy, she's all heart, isn't she?"

Outside

Ben was searching for Moka after not seeing her for a while. He wanted to see how she was and if she had seen anything strange around the school. Well, anything that's dangerously or their kind of unusually strange considering it was a school for Yokai.

He went around back the school and saw Moka with Michael apparently talking with each other. Curious about what they're discussing, he began walking over to get a word with Moka. However, as he did so he noticed that Moka was looking strangely pale but that was nothing compared to what happened next.

"So you have three sisters Moka?" Michael asked with his arms crossed, and in a tone that he was hitting on her.

"Yeah, I have one younger and two older sisters," Moka said flirtingly, which surprised Ben.

"I bet they're not as lovely as you are. By the way is there something going on between you and Ben?" Michael questioned.

To Ben's further surprise, Moka giggled flirtingly. "No we're not dating. Besides, I don't have any interest in him like I do with you."

That stopped him cold. Those words she said left him frozen in his spot, as he couldn't believe what he heard. Regaining himself, Ben quickly turned around and hid behind the corner without being seeing. What Moka said had hurt him, though it didn't seem visible, but it felt like somebody had knocked the wind right out of his lungs. Sure it was true that they weren't dating, but he thought there was something developing between them. Considering that kiss she had given him in the hospital since his recovery from Kuyou's battle. He knew he might have feelings for her and he thought she felt the same way, with the exception of her inner self since he had no clue how she felt about him exactly. Now however, it seemed that she wanted to date Michael.

Feeling down and unwanted Ben left without being noticed.

However with Moka inside her mind things were different. 'Why…why did I say that…Ben means a lot to me…I don't love Michael…do I?'was the last words she thought before her mind seemed to fade to black.

Over with Ben he was now walking in a sulking mood, as he felt like he wanted to yell or beat something up.

'Is that how she views me? Am I just a friend who she has no interest in?' he questioned himself as he kept walking without a destination.

However unknown to him, he wasn't the only one feeling down.

Elsewhere

For in another area from where he was heading to Deshiko was walking to school alone and down.

Deshiko was walking to her next class with her head down like she usually does now, as she heard the whispers of the surrounding students. She didn't even need to raise her head to know that they were looking at her with dislike and contempt. Ever since Kuyou's defeat and her being placed on parole, all the other students looked at her no longer with fear but hatred. She was admitted in to the newspaper club, but she saw that even the members there weren't going to give her a chance. The only ones who weren't bad to her was Akashiya, Tennyson, and his cousin. But even then she didn't know how to go about it with Ben Tennyson, since he was really a human.

It was strange, she had always grown to dislike humans and see them as inferiors, and yet she was saved by one and witnessed him defeat her all powerful leader like he was no challenge in one of his alien forms called NRG, and that gargantuan form called Way Big. Now however, instead of wanting revenge like she would've thought instead she felt… empty. Like she didn't belong anywhere and had no purpose anymore.

"Well look who's here," A male voice arrogantly said, which caused Deshiko to stop and look up to see who it was.

The guy was none other than Saizou with two other guys accompanying him. The two guys were both tall like him and looked to be brutes just like him.

Deshiko narrowed her eyes, not in the mood for this, "What do you punks want?"

"Punks huh? See that boys? She still thinks she's superior to us, even though her boss and buddies are all locked up now," Saizou said, which earned some dark laughs from them before he turned back to her. "You know, I don't get why they let you stay out of imprisonment. But I do know that we don't like it and plan to do something about it."

Deshiko hardened her glare, as she took a more battle ready stance. "If you think you three can beat one of the top enforcers then you're out of your mind."

"Hahahahaha! It seems you're in total denial. The enforcers are history and you're a nobody now. You're just a leftover that didn't get scraped off but we'll take care of that," The black haired guy with Saizou said, as he suddenly grabbed Deshiko's arm.

"Why you!" The now angry red head yelled as she quickly brought her leg up and kicked her grabber in the chest causing him to let her go and fell to the ground.

"Arg!" the now downed goon said as he held his chest before he got up.

"Seems you're going to resist. No matter since that just makes it more fun for us," Saizou said before his body began to shift and transform into his Orc form while the other two did the same.

The brown haired guy had grown much taller, and slowly grew fur all over his body as his pants ripped apart and another pair of legs popped out along with a tail. On his head a pair of horns appeared while the two pair of legs separated to form a larger back and belly. Making him into a sort of Centaur-like Minotaur.

The black haired guy had grown larger where his muscles grew and strangely his eyes seemed to fuse to make one large eye ball. Deshiko narrowed her eyes at her now revealed opponents. Saizou had become his ugly Org form while the other 2 became a Cyclops and a Minotaur.

Taking her stance Deshiko pulled out her staff and waited for them to make their move.

Not needing an invitation Saizou charged at her with his fist cocked back before he swung it forward. Deshiko avoided it by easily jumping back, but was then put on the defense when the Minotaur came charging like a bull from her side while she was still in the air. Reacting quickly, she held her staff in front of her like wall, which helped her block the impact as the Minotaur's head hit her staff and sent her flying back but thanks to her acrobatic skills she flipped backwards and landed on her feet without trouble.

A shadow suddenly engulfed her and she turned to see the Cyclops bringing his club down on her head. Thankfully, she evaded by throwing herself to the side, as the club slammed to the ground and left an imprint.

She got up to face her three adversaries with a smirk on her face. "If that's all you got, then you're even weaker than I thought," she taunted them which earned some glares.

"Look who's talking, all you've been doing is running away instead of fighting us. If I didn't know any better then I'd say you're afraid of us," Saizou taunted back which earned scowl from the female.

"RUN FROM THIS!" She screamed, as she ran forward while spinning her staff as she jumped and intended to bring it down on Saizou's head.

However, the Cyclops moved between them and brought up his club to block her staff. Before she could react next, the Minotaur had grabbed her by the torso and now held her tightly with both hands as her staff fell to the ground.

"Let me go you jerk!" Deshiko angrily protested, as she tried to kick her restrainer but her legs didn't reach far enough. All three guys chuckled at her feeble attempts to fight back.

"Well, looks like we finally got you where we want you now," Saizou said cockily.

"You're not going to get away with this, you hear me!" Deshiko said, only to suddenly hear the three guys laugh out loud.

"Or what you'll call Kuyou? He's gone and never coming back and just look around us, everyone watching has no intention of helping you. In fact I think they're enjoying the show since they have plenty of grudges against you for what you did to some of them" Saizou said while gesturing to the observing crowed were Deshiko turned to see they were all watching with none of them stepping forward. In fact she saw hatred in some of their eyes as they seemed glad she was being assaulted.

It was here that realization came to her. She had no one now. All her friends were gone, her leader imprisoned and everyone that was released from their custody were now looking at her with contempt.

Deshiko eyes now help some level of sadness as she looked down in defeat.

"Oh don't make that face, you know you had this coming, and right now it's judgment day for you." Saizou said, before he suddenly grabbed the front of her uniform. And then ripped it apart as her red bra was now exposed, and she squealed from embarrassment.

"I never did like that stupid enforcer outfit," Saizou said before his eyes glazed over Deshiko's body, and he licked his mouth with his inhuman and long tongue, almost hungrily as he stared at her exposed torso. "Well for a little bitch, you don't have such a bad body. Maybe we should have some fun with you before we give you your punishment," he said, earning a starling and slightly fearful look from Deshiko.

"HEY! Leave her alone," A new voice spoke up, surprising the three guys who turned along with the crowed to see that it was none other than Ben Tennyson who had spoken out.

"Tennyson!" Saizou said angrily at seeing him again.

"Oh man, it's you again, Saizou. I would've thought you'd be expelled," Ben said with a clear level of irritation, seeing Saizou all over again. And then looked at his new friends, as he sighed in annoyance. "And it's looks like you're still up to your old ways. I thought Moka and I knocked some sense into you last time." He cracked his knuckles eagerly, as he huffed, "It seems that I'll have to give you and your friends a recourse in proper manners."

Seeing him and remembering how he was the one who defeated Kuyou, the Cyclops and Minotaur took a step back in slight fear and uncertainty. Seeing this Saizou stood his ground.

"Stay out of this, Tennyson. It's got nothing to do with you." Saizou said arrogantly, as he had no intention of backing down. Especially to a human no doubt, as he pointed to Deshiko. "This bitch is overdue for a good beating for everything she's done and we're going to give it to her."

Besides he didn't really believe the stories about Ben defeating Kuyou. He had personally fought Ben and he wasn't any stronger than him in his red armed form. It was the released Moka who defeated him and he suspected it was actually her that beat Kuyou while simply took the credit like he did when the students claimed he was the one who beat him when it was really Moka.

"On the contrary it's got plenty to do with me. I'm the one who convinced the others to put her on probation so therefore I'm responsible for her." Ben countered while looking agitated as he took a step forward.

"You think you're so tough, don't make me laugh. You couldn't beat me in our first match and you can't beat me now. It was that bitch Moka who beat me and you took the credit for it to make you seem tough. Your just a human who doesn't belong here. So do everyone a favor and get out of here, loser," Saizo insulted.

Hearing that Ben's eyes hardened and he now looked like he was one step away from going nuts. Calming himself he took a deep breath and then brought up his Omnitrix. "I recommend you let Deshiko go unless you want to see proof that I'm really the one who beat Kuyou."

"Ha! You don't scare me. Whatever form you take, the three of us can handle." Saizo stated.

Not being deterred Ben scrolled through until he landed on the alien he wanted. "Let's see if your still arrogant when you see Humungousaur!" Ben shouted before he slammed down the Omnitrix dial and a flash of green engulfed him.

However a different transformation occurred. Ben's body grew much taller as his skin hardened till it resembled rock. His body's muscles grew larger as they hardened and seemed to grow earth on them. His hands grew larger and now had four fingers instead of five. His mouth grew much bigger and wider along with his head.

"GRAVATTACK!" A voice that most definitely wasn't Humungousaur shouted as his form was revealed.

The new alien standing forth was large, bulky, reddish brown with rocky skin, a giant mouth and a molten lava core at the center of his body. His feet are tan with three toes and has three fingers and one thumb on each hand. He wears black shorts with green stripes and a green belt with white stripes and the Omnitrix symbol was on his forehead.

Omnitrix Encyclopedia

Galilean Aka Gravattack

Galileans are bulky gravity-controlling aliens with rocks covering their bodies. Galileans do not live on planets, as they themselves are tiny planets. They live in space and orbit their sun. At some point in their life cycle, they orbit their home planet Keplorr. Despite their tough exterior, the Galileans are a wise and patient species; they are known to handle peace negotiations very well, especially with Apoplexians.

Galileans have the ability to manipulate gravity; to either make objects lighter than air or incredibly heavy. They also have the ability to levitate via gravity manipulation. Added by Furquim considering that they themselves are living planetoids, they can make objects revolve around them and can roll up into a planetary sphere. And for all orbiting processes, Galileans can roll up into a planetoid sphere.

However, they do have a weakness. The orb in their center is vulnerable; if a Galilean takes large amounts of damage to their core, they could meltdown and explode, much like an actual planet.

"Whoa, this is new." Gravattack said while looking himself over before punching his palm. "We'll no time like the present to give it a test drive."

"What is that form?" Saizou thought wondering what the new form could do. "Your new form won't make a difference, I'm going to expose you for the weakling you are." He said before he charged at Ben.

"Okay let's see what this guy can do. He's made of rock so maybe his powers are earth based, so maybe I can make an EARTHQUAKE!" Gravattack said to himself before he raised one leg and slammed it to the ground, attempting to cause the ground to shake but nothing happened. Before he could ponder on it he was suddenly punched in the face by Saizou which caused him to tumble backwards and slide a bit back from the force.

"Ah… well so much for earthquake powers." Gravattack said while getting up.

"Ha! What's wrong, Tennyson!? You forget how to fight!?" Saizou laughed as he charged again and attempted to jab at Gravattack but this time Ben was prepared as he side stepped the punch and then grabbed Saizou's extended arm before he pulled him in and then spun around a bit before throwing him away causing Saizou to land on his back a little painfully.

Seeing what he did Gravattack evaluated himself. "Okay so you have some strength but clearly it's not on Fourarms' level of muscle so that's not going to be enough to beat Saizou." He said while trying to think what this alien's true power could be. "Okay so if you can't make earthquakes then maybe you can manipulate the earth?" he said before extending his hands toward the ground and tried to make it move.

Sadly nothing happened as the ground remained the same and unmoving.

"Ahh, come on! Just what can this guy do!?" Gravattack said a bit frustratingly.

"You're dead Tennyson!" The voice of Saizou spoke up as Gravattack raised his head just in time to see him literally in face as he was now attempting to punch him in the jaw. Gravattack tried to raise his hands to block but saw he wouldn't get them up in time to defend himself so he braced himself impact.

However something surprising and unexpected happened. Instead of Saizou nailing Ben or Ben blocking Saizou something else happened entirely. Suddenly without warning Saizou was flying backwards as if he was hit by a train as his body crashed into a tree that became uprooted.

"WHAT THE! WHAT HAPPENED!?" The Minotaur said in confusion as he didn't see Gravattack hit Saizou at all. One moment, Saizou was about the pummel Tennyson, but then the next moment he was sent flying back for no reason.

The goons and crowed weren't the only one wondering what happened as Gravattack was wondering the same thing. He knew that he somehow did that but didn't know what or how he did it. He looked down at his hands and felt like they had emanated something before he got hit.

'What did I do?' Gravattack wondered to himself as he looked up to see Saizou getting back up. Seeing this he smirked in eagerness. "Well whatever I did I'm going to enjoy doing to all three of these punks."

Saizou, meanwhile was angry at what happened. He was in control of the fight, but then without warning something threw him aside like if he was baseball.

"I don't know what you did, Tennyson, but you won't be getting another lucky hit!" he said angrily as he ran at Gravattack again.

"Bring it on chump cause this time I'm more than ready for you." Gravattack said before he quickly went over how he flung Saizou away. 'Okay when he was about the pound me I raised my hands to try and block but wasn't going to reach in time. So maybe if I focus on him…' Gravattack thought before he raised his hands and aimed them at Saizou and then concentrated to see if what he speculated would happen.

This time his theory was proven true as Saizou's charge was halted as he was suddenly lifted off the ground by an invisible force and was now levitating helplessly without any control over his balance.

"What the hell?! What's going on?!" Saizou said not knowing why he was suddenly hovering off the ground uncontrollably. He looked at Gravattack and noticed his hands were now giving of some kind of power that was spherical shaped and transparent. "Are you doing this, Tennyson!?" he shouted at the alien.

Gravattack was now smirking. "Yeah I am and it looks like I just figured out what this guy can do and I'm definitely loving it."

Saizou growled in anger before turning his head to his two companions. "Don't just stand there you fools… GET HIM!"

Not needing to be told twice they complied as the Minotaur threw Deshiko away who landed on her buttocks.

Seeing them approaching Gravattack wondered just how far his new powers extended. So he moved his left hand from Saizou to them and to everyone's amazement both of them were suddenly levitated off the ground was now dangling helplessly next to Saizou.

"The Hell! What's going on!?" The Cyclops said with panic as he tried getting back to the ground but couldn't get back down.

"Gravity powers, now this is perhaps the most awesome things I've had the pleasure of using. Are you guys having as much fun as I am because I'm certainly enjoying myself?" Gravattack asked his floating victims as they all glared at him.

Meanwhile Deshiko was watching in awe at seeing the new alien's powers. She never thought controlling gravity could be possible and yet here he was bending it to his will like if it was an extension of himself.

'How strong is he really?'Deshiko thought in wonder as she silently watched Ben fight to defend her.

"Let us down and fight like a man, Tennyson!" Saizou shouted.

Gravattack hummed as if in thought. "Hmm nah I think I'll just keep you guys up there. Besides I want to see what happens when I do THIS," he said before swinging his hands around in circular motions.

"What're you...ARG!" Saizou's words were cut short as he and the other two guys were suddenly being spun around and around like the edges of a fan.

"Ahhh!" The Cyclops and Minotaur shouted as their world was now spinning.

Gravattack keep his assault going as he spun and rotated the three bullies at high speeds. He raised them to the air and slammed them to the ground repeatedly, slammed them into each other, sent them up and then let them fall down naturally; he even manipulated the Cyclops club and had it clobber all three of them on the head, shin and many other places. Eventually he finally stopped with them dangling again.

"Urgh," Saizou said painfully.

"I…think…I'm going to puke," The Cyclops said sickly as he held his mouth trying to keep down his stomach's contents.

"Ohh! Now this is gonna be fun," Gravattack said with a wicked grin on his face as he raised the Cyclops over Saizou before spinning him again making him look like a spinning top.

Suddenly, Saizou realized what Tennyson was planning. "YOU WOULDN'T DARE!" He shouted while trying to move from where he was to no avail.

"Oh yes I would and I will." Gravattack said hauntingly before he stopped spinning the Cyclops who then proceeded to expel his lunch all over Saizou's head who was directly under him.

"ARGH!" Saizou yelled in disgust at now being covered in vomit.

"Hahahahaha! Oh man, now that was funny. You should see the look on your face, you were all like, 'Ahh nooo!' But then he puked and it all came pouring down on you! Ahahahahaha! Well I've had my fun so now it's time to say goodbye." Gravattack said he pulled his arms back and then threw them forward which in turned caused all three of them to be flung in the air and sailing far away from him. They kept flying until they seemed to come crashing down far beyond the woods with a noticeable boom heard in the background.

As if by perfect timing the Omnitrix beeped red before Gravattack was engulfed in a red flash to reveal Ben Tennyson again who had a pleased look on his face.

"Ahh that felt so good. Who says violence can't solve your problems?" Ben asked himself before he walked over to Deshiko who had a stunned look on her face.

"You okay?" Ben asked with concern in his voice.

Deshiko nodded dumbly. "Y..Yeah."

Ben nodded back. "Good." He simply said before he looked her over and noticed her torn cloths and how she was still hiding her bra behind her arm which made him blush a bit. "We should get you a new uniform seeing that your current one is torn now.

As if realization came back to her Deshiko looked down to see that she was indeed exposed at the top and blushed furiously at remembering that Ben looked at her. "CREEP!" she shouted embarrassingly as she suddenly slapped Ben in the face by reflex which caused him to fall to the ground since he was now in human form again and she had hit quite hard.

"OWWW!" Ben said painfully as he now held his soar cheek. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" he asked a bit outraged.

"For staring at me when my chest is nearly exposed." Deshiko said angrily as she kept her arms covering her chest, not wanting to reveal anything.

"Jeez I was just asking if you were okay and noticed your torn cloths. Also I wasn't staring." Ben said annoyingly.

"Hmph! Well, next time don't keep your eyes in one spot for more than a second." The red head said plainly.

"Whatever. So you should go get your new uniform or do you plan on just standing a while longer?" Ben asked which earned a small glare from her.

"I plan too." She said before she marched away and headed to the school with the intent of acquiring a new outfit. However to her surprise Ben followed her as he walked beside her.

"Why are you following me?" she asked.

"Just wanted to keep you company, besides it's better if I have your back so that no other punks try and make a move on you." Ben said calmly.

Deshiko was surprised by his response. On one hand, she would've felt insulted by his question of her capability to defend herself. On the other hand, she felt kind of touched by his concern for her safety. She had never gotten this when she was with Kuyou. Back then, it was all about either being strong enough to serve him or if you were weak then.

"Fine then," She said simply as she and Ben walked inside the school.

As they walked by the hall all the other students stepped aside and let them pass. It was as if they feared Ben or Deshiko and wanted to avoid any trouble.

"It seems they still fear you, Deshiko." Ben said simply as he observed them.

"Hmph! If you ask me it's you they fear since thanks to you, everyone now knows that humans are aware of our existence, showed your power by defeating Kuyou, and now have everyone thinking we're under possible observation so that any Yokai that over steps his boundaries will be dealt with by you personally," Deshiko said, sounding rather ticked than embarrassed. "Honestly, I think they believe you're a spy who infiltrated the academy to observe and learn about us."

"Yeah, and I'm sure that what the Enforcers did was way better than what was going on," Ben pointed out. "Like taking bribes from the clubs, locking up students making protests about the way Kuyou did things, and even unofficial executions like me for instance."

Deshiko was about to retort to that, but realized that he was right. After an awkward silence, she sighed in defeat, and looked away from Ben, ashamed that he was right about it. Realizing that things were a bit out of the quiet, Ben decided to speak up again to break it.

"Well you are right about some things, but first of all it's not my job to deal with Yokai like those guys," Ben explained, hoping that Deshiko would loosen up about. "I just do that because it's the right thing to do. Second, I may have come here to observe the academy, it's not to learn about the Yokai and their weaknesses so we can eliminate them. That's not how I or the Plumbers do things; we make sure we know who the enemy is and then go after them. We never harm innocent bystanders, or do anything that could put them in danger." Ben said, as they arrived at the nurse's office. But before they stepped in, Ben then finished, "And thirdly, I'm here because the Head Master invited me here."

This caused Deshiko to blink in confusion, "The Head Master… invited you here? Why?"

Ben shrugged, not seeming to care about the details, "Not really sure. He's kinda cryptic about this stuff, as so I've learned." But he stopped as he looked in front of them, "Oh, look, we're here."

The two looked and saw that they had reached the hospital's office. Deshiko blinked, as she refused, "Wait, I'm not hurt…"

"Believe me, you're tough enough," Ben defended, but explained. "I just don't trust Saizou when it comes to girl-handling. That, and we'll be waiting here for my cousin. She's getting a spare uniform from her closet for you. You two look like you've got the same body type."

But all that did was make Deshiko blush in embarrassment, as she suddenly screamed, "YOU PERVERT!" and suddenly decked Ben in the face. The American hero crashed to the ground, as he groaned. Deshiko snapped out of it, as she blushed in embarrassment, as she clutched her chest further, as she confessed, "Sorry about that. I didn't mean to do that!"

Ben just groaned, "You… have a mean right hook…"
