Hi everybody. Prepare for something I know a lot of you have been hopping for. What is it? Read on and find out.

Four Armed Bride

Chapter 6

Ben entered Plumbers headquarters to meet up with Rook before their trip to Looma's warship, he found him speaking with Max. "Hey Rook ready to go?"

"Not just yet." Max said. "We need to go over the plan first."

Ben raised an eyebrow, "What plan?"

"Magister Tennyson realised that the tour of the warship could give us an opportunity to study its inner workings." Rook explained.

"So your going to have a couple of extras guests for your trip." Max said before looking to his side and called, "Blukic, Driba!"

The two Galvan tech support team came forward each with a small backpack "Blukic and Driba reporting for duty." Driba said.

"Straight from breakfast." Blukic said before letting out a, "Burp!"

Ben looked to his grandfather. "Loomas letting Rook come because I said he was my first choice for my best man, but how am I gonna explain these two?"

"Just say they're friends who tagged along, worst case scenario she'll make them wait in the ship and if she does Rook will have to take in as many details of the ship as he can." Max explained.

"Understood." Rook nodded.

"Quick question." Ben raised his hand. "Why am I only hearing about the plan like ten minutes before we leave for the warship?"

"Because your only job will be keeping Looma busy and focused on you so she doesn't pay attention to Rook or Blukic and Driba." Max explained, then raised an eyebrow. "Why do you have all those smoothies?"

In Bens hands was a tray of smoothies. "What, me having smoothies is weird?"

"No, the fact that none of them are empty is the weird part." Rook said.

"Well there not for me there for Looma." Ben said getting a few looks from the others. "What? Looma likes smoothies as much as I do. Besides, your supposed to bring something when you visit a girl and Looma doesn't strike me as the kind of girl you give flowers."

No one could find a flaw in Bens logic. "Good point." Max admitted. "Now all of you better get going, you don't want to keep the princess waiting." With that Ben, Rook, Blukic and Driba got into Rooks Proto-TRUK which changed to ship mode, exited the base and flew towards the warship.

As the left Earths atmosphere and flew through space Ben had to stop Blukic and Driba from trying to drink the smoothies ."Knock it off!"

"But were hungry." Blukic said.

"Did you not say you had just eaten breakfast?" Rook asked.

Blukic looked at him for a moment, "Whats your point?"

"He means how can you still have room for smoothies?" Ben asked.

"Theres always room for smoothies." Driba said pointing at Ben. "We learned that from you."

Ben blinked "That does sound like something I'd say." he thought to himself. Then he saw Blukic reaching for one of the smoothies. "Hey!" he picked the Galvan up by his overalls. "I'll treat you two to some smoothies when we get back to Earth, but for now hands off!"

They received permission to come aboard flew into the hanger bay where Looma and a few guards were waiting for them. Be was the first to step out and was greeted by his fiancé, "Welcome Beloved" she walked over.

"Hi Looma." Ben raided his hand in greeting, "I brought you some smoothies." He presented her with the tray which she happily accepted.

"Thank you Ben." it was then she noticed the two Galvans. "Who are they?"

"These are my good friends Blukic and Driba." Ben introduced them.

"Greetings Princess." Driba bowed.

"Hows it going?" Blukic raised his cap.

Ben looked to Looma, "I know I should have called first and asked if they could come but when they heard me and Rook were getting a tour of the ship, they got excited and begged us to come along. So is there room for two more on this tour?"

Looma looked down at the two and was silent for a moment before answering. "Very well."

Ben blinked in surprise. "Wait really? I mean great!" He recovered from his surprise.

"Excuse me." Looma walked away from the group wand started talking a group of guards.

"That went a lot better than I thought it would." Ben said to Rook.

"Indeed," the Revonnahgander replied "I did not expect her to agree so easily."

A few seconds later Looma came back with a Tetramand guard. "This is commander Rotar he will be leading your tour of the ship."

"Welcome," he greeted them.

The princess pointed at Rook, Blukic and Driba "You may take these three now."

"As you wish Princess." He bowed his head. "Follow me."

As Rotar lead the Revonnahgander and the two Galvans, Ben became confused "Shouldn't I go with the tour?"

"Oh no Beloved your getting a private tour with your personal guide, me." Looma smiled.

"Really? Awesome." Ben put on a nervous smile.

"Lets get started!" Looma said happily before grabbing Bens hand and pulling him along.

"So much for it being less awkward." Ben thought to himself.

"We will see you later Ben." Rook said as his group disappeared down a hallway.

Before they were out of earshot Ben could hear Blukic ask. "Will lunch be provided at the end of this tour?"

As they walked, Looma held the tray in her upper left hand and took one cup in her upper right hand, she continued to hold Bens hand in her lower right hand. When they came to a door Looma used her free hand to press a button and open it for them to walk through. "Are you sure you don't one Ben?" she offered.

"No I'm good." Ben declined politely. "So whats this roo-" he didn't finish that sentence because his mouth was hanging open at what was in the room, weapons lots and lots of very big weapons.

"This is the armory!" Looma gestured to the room with her free hand ."It holds all the weapons for the guards and even some extra weapons for the ship when there not being used." She lead Ben inside. "Now ordinarily Tetramand warriors don't use weapons and prefer to fight using only using their bare fists, but like me and my hammer we do enjoy using weapons. So in this armory we everything from swords, maces, blasters and grenades to spare Techadon Energised Ion Particle Cannon for the war ship."

Ben was wide eyed seeing all the artillery with in a single room and gulped. "On second thought, I'd love one of those smoothies." Looma handed him one which he took a long sip of.

"So what do you think?" the princess asked.

"That's a lotta weapons." Ben blurted out. "I'm mean I'm just surprised you'd ever need them, your like a one woman army."

Looma's cheeks turned pink as she looked away, "Oh stop."

She had let go of Bens hand so he walked forward looking at the different weapons when a familiar one caught his eye, it looked like a large dart with metal back and point but was red in the middle, he picked it up "I've seen these before, what were they called." He placed a hand under his chin as he tried to remember.

"A sound wave grenade." Looma said walking closer.

"Right." Ben smiled remembering. "Albedo used one of these a while back when he had him cornered and-" he stopped realising that Looma didn't know what he was talking about. "Sorry about that, Albedos-" he went to explain but Looma cut him off.

"A Galvan who built an inferior copy of your Omnitrix and tried to steal yours, but ended up not only losing the copy he also became a genetic duplicate of you." She finished.

Ben blinked "Yeah, how'd you know?"

Looma smiled taking the sound wave grenade from him. "Since we became betrothed, I been researching your past, all your battles, the enemies you've faced and all the times you saved your world and many others." She looked at him. "To think you've been your planets protector and its greatest hero since you were only ten years old."

Ben actually felt himself getting embarrassed from Loomas words. "Its no big deal." He looked away scratching the back of his head, hoping she wouldn't see the blush on his face.

"It is a very big deal." Looma insisted. "You done more in a few years than, most beings do in an entire lifetime." She smiled warmly. "One of the many reasons I am honoured to be your fiancé."

Bens blush got redder and he put on a nervous smile before taking another long sip of his smoothy. "I wonder how the others are doing?" he thought to himself.

Rook, Blukic and Driba were currently within the ships engine room. "This warship is fitted with the largest Coros 5 engine block ever constructed." Commander Rotar gestured to the huge device.

"Oooohhhh." Blukic and Driba said in unison before snapping pictures with small cameras.

Blukic looked to Rook. "Should we examine it now?"

"Not now Blukic." Driba snapped. "Not when everyone will see us doing it."

Everyone in the engine room looked at the group. "They are simply excited to be seeing such a great feet of Tetramand engineering." Rook said quickly.

Commander Rotar was suspicious. "Are you three up to something?" He got right in Rook's face.

"Of course not." The Revonnahgander answered.

"Why should I believe you?" He asked still suspicious.

Rook thought quickly, then it came to him. "Blukic and Driba are both Galvans, the most intelligent race in the known universe. If they were involved in some kind of secret plan they would never be foolish enough to mention it in front of everyone."

The commander looked him for a moment before nodding, "Good point." and moved away.

Rook let out a sigh of relief before kneeling down to the two Galvans. "Please be more careful with what you say."

"What for?" Blukic asked.

"We nearly blew out cover." Driba said.

"No we didn't!" Blukic said.

"Yes we did!" Driba argued.

"No I didn't!" Blukic countered.

"Yes we did!" Driba snapped.

Rook shook his head. "I wonder how Ben is doing?" he thought to himself.

Ben and Looma had finished the smoothies before arriving at a new room, the room was very large and looked like a cross between a gymnasium and colosyseum. "This is the sparring room, a place for everyone to train and keep their combat skills sharp."

"Whoa, one heck of a gym." said an impressed Ben as they walked inside.

"It resembles the our training ground back home on Khoros." Looma explained.

"I gotta say being here really gets you into the fighting spirit." Ben said feeling rared up himself. "I actually feel like going a few rounds."

"Really?" Looma's eyes lit up. "What a wonderful idea Beloved!"

"Thanks." Ben said "Wait what idea?"

"A sparring match!" the princesses voice was full of excitement. "It will be exhilarating."

As she moved away and began stretching, Ben realised what he'd just done. "Oh crud."

Looma took a battle stance at the other side of the floor. "Oh this will be even better than our last battle."

Ben raised an eyebrow, "It will?"

"I'm ashamed to admit it beloved but when we first met I didn't think much of you, but now that I've seen the true warrior that you are I'm to give you everything I've got." The princess drove both her right fists into her left hands to emphasis her point.

Ben gulped remembering how tough Looma was the last time they'd fought and now she was going to fight even harder. But then he smiled confidently because no matter how tough the fight was, Ben 10 fought to win. "Well then get ready Looma, cause here I come!" With that he slammed down on the Omnitrix.

When the light passed Ben was now a large round creature with white skin, four claws on each hand, yellow armor plates on his back, arms and sides, the Omnitrix on his chest. "Cannonbolt!" He looked at Looma "Ready or not, here I come!" With that he curled into a ball and started spinning really fast before speeding towards Looma.

The princess didn't attempt to dodge, instead she held her ground held out her arms and took the attack head on. When Cannonbolt crashed into her she was pushed back a few feet but grabbed his spinning form and stopped herself, she pushed against Ben for a few moments before lifting him off the ground.

"Uh oh." Ben said form inside the ball before Looma threw him at the wall which he bounced off of and began bounced around the room like a ball in a pinball machine. Looma waited for the right moment and raised her fists above her head and when Ben was coming right at her she brought her fists down on him smashing him into the floor. Ben uncurled and lay on the floor "That hurt." he groaned.

"Isn't it exciting!" Looma said clapping her hands together and raising them over head her head, Ben knew what she was about to do and hit Omnitrix on his chest. The flash of green light filled Loomas vision as she brought her fists down, but it felt like she'd hit something wet. She looked down to her hands covered in green slime and more of it was splattered on the floor. "Ben?" she wondered had she just reduced her fiancé to slop.

A noise got her attention and she looked up to see a hovering device with the Omnitrix on top. "That's my name." a voice came from it. "But right now you can call me," the device flew over the slime and seemed to pull it all after it and away from Looma where it then took on humanoid amoeba-like shape with green eyes. "Goop!" He looked at the Princess, "Round two!" then charged at her.

Looma threw a punch at Goop, but his Anti-Gravity Projector pulled to the right and his body went around her fist. He then spun around Looma stretching out his body and wrapped himself around her before constricting and pining her arms to her sides. "Gotcha!" Looma grit her teeth, then with a large amount of effort she was able to pull her arms away and break Goops body off of her where it landed in several places on the floor.

The Anti-Gravity Projector flew around collecting the pieces before ringing them all together allowing Goop to reform, "My turn." Looma charged and began punching Ben with powerful blows. But no matter how hard she hit him Goops body instantly recovered as if nothing had happened.

Ben spoke in between the punches, "No matter. How hard. You punch. Goop doesn't feel. A thing." Looma pulled all four of her arms back before bringing them together in a Thunder Clap, which splattered Ben straight across the room. Once again the Anti-Gravity Projector flew around pulling all the pieces together and Goop reformed crossing his arms. "Give up?"

"Never!" the princess said with determination, she could tell her attacks had no effect, but then spotted a weakness. Looma smirked as she charged at Ben who just stood there feeling confident she couldn't hurt him, the princess threw a punch but instead of Ben she hit the Anti-Gravity Projector above his head sending it flying across the room. Without the projector to maintain Goops body, he feel to the floor as a puddle of goo, unable to move in the slightest. Looma saw she had the advantage and pressed on by going after the projector which had just floated off the floor.

"Oh I feel dizzy, somehow." Ben's voice came from the device, it dashed left just in time to dodge Looma's fist hit the floor. It zig zagged to avoid her other three fists and flew around her, Looma tried to grab it but it returned to Ben allowing him to reform his body. "Okay so much for that plan." he reached up to the projector hitting the Omnitrix covering his body in green energy.

He was now a very big brown dinosaur with strong arms, wearing black and white briefs and a green sash across his chest containing the Omnitrix. "Humungousaur!" he shouted raising his arms in the air. "Now we're talking!" he said rushing at Looma and threw a right hook at her, the Princess dodged his fist but struck by his tail when swung it around knocking her back. Ben raised both his fists above his head and swung them down but Looma reacted quickly raising her arms up and grabbing Bens before they could hit her, "Having fun yet?" he asked.

Looma smiled brightly, "A blast!" she reached out with one hand grabbing the sash across his chest, she then lifted Humungousaur off the ground and threw him over her shoulder and face first into the wall. Ben pulled his face free and shook his head clear, her turned just in time to see Looma punch him across the face making him stumble back. Ben put up his arms to shield himself from Loomas punches. "I haven't had a fight like this in ages!" Ben took a step back and moving his arms away from him and tried bring his hands together to grab Looma but she ducked under his hands, she looked up and Ben who realised he was wide open.

"Uh-oh." he managed to say before Looma hit him with a fisted uppercut that knocked him off his feet and flipped him over before he landed on his face. Ben pushed himself off the ground and rubbed his chin. "I need different approach." He thought to himself. Ben looked up to see Looma leap at him with her fists raised, without thinking Ben crouched down and leapt head first at Looma, with his thick reptilian skull hitting her dead on and making her skid across the room on her back.

Ben stood up, "Lets see you fight what you can't touch, time for Big Chill!" he hit the Omnitrix on his chest. When the green light passed Ben was now a creature with a black and green colour scheme, one green eye in the middle of his head, two antennae and a tail with plugs on their tips, four fingered hands with similar plugs on the tip of each finger and the Omnitrix was on his chest. "Feedback?" he realised he had been turned into the wrong alien yet again, but shrugged it off and smirked ."I can work with this." With that he raised his hands and fired a blast of electrical energy at Looma. She crossed her arms in front to shield herself but when the blast hit she was electrocuted all over, Looma grit her teeth and charged and began swing at him but Feedback used his agility to dodge her punches. Ben jumped back to put a little distance between them and put his fingers together, he slowly pulled them apart forming a ball of electrical energy. "Your gonna have to get creative if you wanna beat me." he fired the energy ball at her.

Looma pulled her arms back and brought them together in a Thunder Clap that collided with the energy ball causing it to destabilise and burst in a flash of light. Ben was caught off guard when Looma charged through light, he jumped into the air to jump over her but Looma was hopping for that. She grabbed Feedbacks tail and slammed him down onto the floor, he groaned as he looked up at her. "Creative enough for you Beloved?" She then proceeded to slam him repeatedly against the floor before spinning him above her head so fast he became a black bur. Then with a great deal of strength she threw Feedback at the wall where he slammed face first into it.

Ben let out a painful groan as he pulled his face from the wall. "That is so not how I pictured that going." Then he felt Looma grab him by the back of his head "Oh no," was all he could say before she pulled him off the wall.

A moment later Looma threw Ben to the floor, she had used Feedbacks tail and long antennas to tie him up which his was now struggling to get out of. "Want to take a break Ben? Your looking a bit tied up a the moment." she laughed.

"Real funny." Ben said before he was covered in green light and return to human form, he stood up stretching. "You've been working out."

The Princess smiled brightly at that. "Why yes. I have enhanced my usual training, thanks for noticing." She took battle stance. "Breaks over!" and leapt at him.

"GAH!" Ben jumped out of the way of her fist as it struck the ground where he had been standing, he activated the Omnitrix but instead of selecting and alien he closed his eyes. "You know what, surprise me." and pressed the core. When the light passed Ben was now standing over twelve feet tall with red skin, four green eyes and four well muscled arms ending with four fingered hands each wearing black fingerless gloves. He wore a sleeveless shirt with a green stripe going down the middle and black pants. "Four Arms!" he said pleased with his transformation, "Get ready Looma." He cracked his knuckles "For four fists of fury."

Rather than being intimidated, Looma had an excited smile on her face. "Oh yes!" and charged as did Ben, the two of them collided grabbing each others hands and began grappling each one trying to over power the other. Ben suddenly stopped pushing and fell backwards, Looma so caught of guard by this that she didn't stop pushing and fell forward. As Ben hit the floor he raised both his feet up and Loomas stomach landed on them, she let go of Bens hands and saw him smirk before he pushed his legs upwards sending her into the air, he stood up quickly and crouched low before jumping into the air to meet Looma as she fell back down. He hit her with a left hook that sent her across them room, bouncing along the floor her helmet came off just before she came to a stop.

Ben landed feeling good at his plans success and looked to see Looma stand up, without her helmet Loomas long black hair came loose and as she stood up she flipped it over her shoulder. Time seemed to slow down for Ben as this happened and he that Looma wasn't just a mighty warrior, she was also a beautiful princess. He was brought out of his thoughts when Looma's fist connected with his face and knocked him off his feet and onto the floor, "Is something wrong Ben?" she asked looking down at him. "You didn't even try to block my attack."

Ben shook his head clear. "Sorry, zoned out there for a second." he stood up. "Won't happen again." The two of them began trading punches and blocking, neither one took a step back or let they other out of arms reach, Ben crossed his arms in front to shield himself from Looma's punches and waited for an opening and then it came he seized it. As he blocked one of Looma's punches Ben kicked her in the stomach taking her by surprise and making her step back and before she could recover Ben delivered an uppercut that knocked her off her feet, then he tackled her to the ground. Four Arms was on top of Looma and had pinned all of her arms above her head. "Gotcha!"

Looma struggled against his grip but with Four Arms strength and no leverage, she couldn't get free. But in spite of this she was smiling, "Oh this is everything I thought it'd be!"

Ben noticed something different in her voice. "What are you talking about?"

"Well battle is a way of life for Tetramands, we fight for fun and for sport but battle between a male and a female can also be, I believe humans call it," Looma's cheeks turned pink. "Foreplay."

All four of Bens eyes widened. "Foreplay!" At learning this he unintentionally loosened his grip on Looma's arms and she took advantage of it. Looma's upper right fist broke free and hit Four Arms square in the face making him release her other arms, she drove her lower arms into his stomach making him double over. Then she grabbed his shoulders and threw him off of her and he hit the ground hard, Ben stood but the moment he did, Looma was behind him wrapped an arm around his neck in a headlock and used her lower arms to grab his in an arm lock. "Can barely breath."

"I know!" The Princess'es voice was full of excitement. "Isn't it amazing?"

Ben needed to break out of her hold, he moved his right leg back behind hers and pulls it forward making her lose balance and fall back wards. He used the Princess'es surprise to break free of her grip and to drop down after her driving two elbows into her gut. Taking advantage of her stunned moment he grabs Looma, lifts her up and spins her around before hammer tossing her at the ceiling. She hit's the ceiling hard and sticks to it for a moment before falling, Ben crouched low before jumping as high as he could, Looma opened her eyes in time to Bens two right fist strike her so hard she flip in the air a couple of times. Four Arms had used his enhanced jumping to reach the ceiling and flipped him self over so his feet hit it then launched him self down at Looma who had just hit the ground. He pulled back his two right fists as he came at her and she opened her eyes again to see him strike. Four Arms attack had such force the when he struck it created a shockwave that shook the entire training room, Ben stood up looked down at Looma who was unconscious on the floor, the fight was over.

The room was silent until a beeping got Bens attention, a moment later he was covered in green energy and returned to his human form. He approached the princess and stood over her. "Looma?" no response so he leaned in closer/ "You okay?" Then her eyes popped open startling Ben, but before he could move away Looma grabbed him and stood up pulling him into a hug.

"THAT WAS AMAZING!" she squeezed Ben tighter cutting off his air and pulling his face into her large chest. "I have never had battle so, exhilarating!"

"Air!" Ben managed to gasp and Looma let him go.

"Apologies Beloved." She said sincerely.

"No problem." Ben said once his breathing returned to normal and he stopped blushing. "Some fight huh?" He awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

"It was wonderful!" Looma clasped her hands together. "You are every bit the warrior I thought you were and much more." She looked at Ben with admiration.

Ben saw the way she was looking at him and a realisation hit him like a ton of bricks. Looma had fallen for him when he beat her the first time, becoming her fiancé. Now that he had beaten her again the princess was even more attracted to him. "Probably should've seen that one coming." He thought while mentally face palming.

Suddenly a beeping was heard but it wasn't the Omnitrix, Looma took a small communication device from her side and held it to her ear. "Yes? An explosion?"

Ben raised an eyebrow. "Are we under attack?"

Looma shut off her communicator and looked at Ben. "Theres a problem in the hanger bay."

They headed back to the hanger bay and when the entered the first thing they saw was a couple of Tetramands putting out a fire on Rooks Proto-TRUK. "What happened?" Ben asked.

"He did it!" Blukic and Driba said in unison pointing at each other. "Me?"

"You're the one who set it off!" Driba said.

"No I wasn't!" Blukic said.

"Yes you were!"

"No I wasn't!"

Ben rolled his eyes and looked to Rook. "What happened?"

The Revonnahgander began, "We had returned to the hanger bay so Blukic and Driba could retrieve something from the ship."

(Flashback)

Rook, Commander Rotar, Blukic and Driba entered the hanger bay and approached the Proto-TRUK. "I cant believe I've already used up the memory card." Driba said.

"Maybe if you didn't take five pictures of everything you wouldn't have run out." Blukic said. "An energy coupler is an energy coupler, no matter many times you take a picture of it."

"Do they always fight like this?" Commander Rotar asked.

"Yes." Rook nodded as Blukic and Driba got into the Proto-TRUK "Thank you for allowing them to return for a new memory card."

"Ordinarily I wouldn't but you are guests of the Princess, so you have special liberties." he explained.

"Is that why I was permitted to keep my Proto-Tool with me?" the Revonnahgander asked.

"Yes, besides your on a warship full of Tetramand warriors, it wouldn't do you much good anyway." Rotar laughed.

Blukic and Driba exited the truck. "I got it."

Then Commander Rotar was approached by a Tetramand guard carrying a very large cannon. "Here is the weapon you asked for commander."

Rotar took the cannon, "Thank you, that will be all." with that the guard left.

"Is that a Tetramand ionised proton cannon?" Rook asked.

"Indeed but this one has become non-functional for some unknown reason. Since we now have two members of the smartest race in the universe on the ship, I thought they could find the problem and fix it." the commander explained.

A moment later Blukic and Driba walked up to them. "We're ready."

"First, the commander wishes for you to examine this cannon to determine the cause of its malfunction." Rook said and Rotar knelt down to give them access to it.

The two Galvans jumped onto the cannon and began looking it over, Blukic roved the top cover of the cannon and looked in. "Theres your problem." he got their attention "The conductor cables disconnected." he pointed at a red cable with a gold plug like device at the end.

"It can't send energy to the blast." Driba said leaning his hand against the handle.

"Well fix it then." Commander Rotar said.

Blukic placed his hands on his sides. "The word please exists in the Tetramand language to you know."

Rotar narrowed his four eyes at the small Galvan. "Fix it, please."

"That wasn't so hard now was it?" Blukic reached do and connected the cable into its socket, but the moment he did their was a humming noise. A moment later a ball of yellow energy formed at the barrel of the cannon, it then blasted forward with a short trail of light behind it making Blukic and Driba fall to the ground and it flew straight at the Proto-TRUK. When the energy ball hit the front of the truck it exploded in a flash of bright light that everyone shielded their eyes from, when it passed the front of the truck had a hole blown in it and was on fire.

"MY PROTO-TRUK!" Rook shouted.

(Present Time)

"Then the guards began extinguishing the flames and you and the Princess arrived." The Revonnahgander finished. A moment later the fire was put out and Rook approached, he began to examine the damages.

"How bad is it?" Ben asked.

"The Faster-Than-Light Drive is slightly singed but otherwise undamaged, No!" he gasped suddenly "The Quil-Tech Nanoshift Transformer."

Ben raised an eyebrow, "Is that important?"

"Only if you want the Proto-TRUK to be able to switch from truck to ship mode and vice versa." Driba said.

"If you don't then its not a big deal." Blukic added.

"The system the performs the transformation seems intact, but the initiation module is badly damaged." Rook said lifting out a device that was charged and dented.

"Can you fix it?" Ben asked, a moment later the module broke apart in Rooks hands and fell to the floor. "I'll take that as a no."

"This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't set off the cannon!" Driba Glared at Blukic who returned the glare.

"Reconnecting the conductor cable wouldn't make it fire, you must fired it by leaning against the trigger!" Blukic said.

"I was no where near the trigger." Driba shook his head. "You probably messed with something inside the cannon that caused it to fire."

"No I didn't!" Blukic said.

"Yes you did!" Driba argued.

"No I didn't!" Blukic countered.

"Yes you-" Driba was cut off by Ben who stepped in between them.

"Do I need to separate you two?" he used his hands to keep them apart.

Looma came forward and placed a hand on Rooks shoulder. "My apologies for your vehicle, you will be compensated for all needed repairs." she assured him.

"Thank you Princess." Rook said. "But it seems we will also require transport to return to Earth."

Looma placed her hands on her hips. "I'm afraid that's not an option, all of our ships are currently under maintenance." she gestured to all the ships that were being worked on by Tetramand engineers.

"Were they doing that when we got here?" Driba asked Blukic who only shrugged.

Ben stepped forward trying to use the Omnitrix. "Well whatever we're doing the we wouldn't be using the Omnitrix." He looked to Looma "Our fight really drained its energy."

The princess smiled, taking that as a compliment. Then she smiled even wider "I have the perfect solution, you can all spend the night here!"

"Here?" Ben, Rook, Blukic and Driba said together.

"Of course, this ship has spare rooms you can stay in and in the morning when the maintenance on the ships is complete one will be used to take you home." She explained.

"Just a second." Ben said walking over to Rook "What do you think? Should we stay or just call a Plumber ship?" he whispered.

"We are guests on this ship. I believe we should accept the Princesses hospitality." Rook said.

A moment later they turned to Looma. "We'd love to stay the night." Ben said.

"Wonderful!" Looma clasped her hands together "I'll have the guards show you to your room." With that she signalled some guards and gave them the instructions. As the group walked away, Looma's smile turned into a triumphant smirk. "Perfect!"

Hope you all enjoyed Ben and Loomas rematch. Hopefully I'll be able to finish the next chapter and post it before Christmas, but no promises. Until then, let you imaginations think of what spending a night on the ship may lead to.
