Four Armed Bride

Chapter 8

Ben stirred slightly as he began to wake up, he was too comfortable to get up so he snuggled his head up against the two large soft pillows he was lying on. "Wait a second." Ben thought as memories of the previous day came to him and remembered not only was he on Loomas warship, he was asleep in Looma bed, with her! He slowly opened his eyes only for them to widen in at shock at what he saw. Ben was lying on top of Looma who was on her back with her arms around him while his head was on top of her large bosom. Her chest went up and down with each breath the princess took, Bens face was bright red at the situation he was in.

"Oh man this is bad," he thought to himself. "I gotta move before she wakes up or someone comes in or wow her nightie is really soft-, FOCUS BEN!" He figured he wouldn't be able to take Loomas arms off of him with out waking her, but he figured that he might be able to move downwards and get out from under her arms. Very slowly he moved down Loomas body, keeping his head against her so her arms would fall slowly and not wake her. "What this silk?" Ben thought as his face brushed against the soft material, "FOCUS!" he shouted mentally. A minute his head came out from under her lower arms and he sat up. "Yes."

But that slight whisper caused Looma to stir from her sleep, "Beloved?" she opened her eyes and looked down to see Ben and her eyes widened. "What are you doing?"

Ben blinked at her shocked expression confused, but then he looked down and saw that he was now straddling the princesses waist. He realised what this looked like "Looma wait this isn't what it looks like!" Looma put her hands on the mattress and pulled her legs back from under Ben so fast he actually flipped up in a circle before landing face first on the bed. He looked up and his face turned bright red yet again, Looma was sitting with her knees against her chest but her legs weren't together, so her nighty was hiked up giving him view of her black silk panties. "Ahhh," was the only thing that came out of his mouth. Looma swung her feet over the bed and stood up taking a couple of steps forward with her back turned to him. Ben got to his feet and walked to the edge of the bed. "Looma I swear I wasn't doing anything perverted, I was just trying to get up with out waking you." He got no response. "Looma?" He looked down and was about to jump off the bed when it happened.

Looma suddenly turned and rushed Ben smacking her lips against his as she pinned him to the bed with her above him. Bens eyes were wide open as Looma continued to kiss him, part of him was worried about running out of air like yesterday but then she stopped kissing him but kept her face close to his. Her hair was hanging down and Ben actually got the scent of strawberries. "I understand Ben," she said suddenly.

"You do?" Ben raised an eyebrow.

She nodded before pulling away into a kneeling position on the bed. "You're a noble man and you want to respect my wishes, but your at the mercy human teenage hormones."

This time Bens eyes widened for an entirely different reason. "Wait What?" He propped himself up with his elbows. "How do you even know about that stuff?"

"I did some research on humans after we became engaged." The princess said simply. "Its what lead me to practice handling the speckled gromp fruit."

Ben blushed and not for the same reason he had so many times since Looma arrived. "Okay I'm not at the mercy of anything." Ben said. "What you thought was you saw wasn't what was happening, what happening was-" Ben was cut off Looma placed a finger to his lips.

"Its alright Beloved," she said gently. "You spend so much time defending your world and many others, its very hard to have a relationship."

Bens was about to speak when Loomas words seemed to really hit him, "It isn't easy," he said against her finger.

Looma smiled taking her finger away. "As a princess I know what its like to have your duties interfere with your personal life." Loomas lower hands took his while her upper ones moved to his face. "And I promise you, that will not be a problem for us." Ben didn't know why, but he felt comforted by Loomas words. "Until we are wed, I hope this will tide you over."

"Huh?" was all Ben could say before Looma pulled him into another kiss. Bens eyes widened as he felt Looma's tongue pass his lips into his mouth. "I'm getting frenched by an Amazon from outer space," he said mentally. After a few seconds Ben got over his shock relaxing into the kiss and began kissing her back, which made the princess moan in delight.

They stayed in this embrace until a knock was heard at the door and Looma broke the kiss. "Oh, breakfast is here." She moved away from the bed leaving Ben there with a huge blush and goofy smile on his face. Looma garbed a gold coloured dressing gown from a hanger and wrapped it around herself before opening the door. "Bring it in," a guard pushed in a large dining cart with gold plates and covers, left it at a table at the side of the room.

"Everything you asked for Princess," he said.

"Excellent, that will be all." Looma said and the guard left, she looked to Ben who was just recovering from their kiss "Beloved, breakfast is served!"

"Breakfast?" Ben raised an eyebrow before jumping off the bed and walking over to the table. He eyed the dishes but before he could ask what they were, Looma lifted him off his feet and placed him sitting down on one of the chairs, she placed two dishes on the table then took the seat across from him. "I hope your hungry." The princess said removing the covers revealing a large and small steaming bowls of purple soup.

Ben sniffed the soup. "Smells pretty good." He grabbed his spoon and scooped up some. He blew on it lightly and tried it. "Hey, this is pretty good." He said in surprise before digging in, Looma smiled and did the same. "What is it?"

"Klawteen stew." Looma said.

"Klawteen, where have I heard that before?" Ben asked himself before shrugging and began eating again.

"Remember the drum of purple serpents I purchased from Mr Baumann's store?" Looma asked.

Ben froze having just put a spoonful in his mouth. "Serpents?" The memory of the creature trying to bite him came to mind and he gulped. "So, we're eating soup made of those things?" the princess nodded. Ben looked down at his bowl, then shrugged, "Meh, wouldn't be the weirdest thing I ever ate," and continued eating.

Soon both bowls were empty. "I'm glad you enjoyed it Ben." Looma took both bowls and put them back on the cart. "Next is and Earth dish I believe you'll enjoy," she held up a large plate and removed the cover. "Pancakes!"

Ben was excited to hear that. "Sweet I love pan-" he paused as the pancakes Looma was holding were as wide as a pizza. "Those are big pancakes." Ben said as she placed them on the table with a large bottle of syrup.

Looma gave Ben a plate and put a couple of the large pancakes on them. "Enjoy."

Ben poured some syrup on them and began eating. "Man these are good. My complements to the chef."

"I'll be sure to do that Ben." Looma said. "Earth food was something the ships chef had never prepared before, he'll be glad to know it was a success." They kept eating and finished the large stack of pancakes, Ben was only able to eat a couple while Looma finished the rest. They both got dressed and it took all of Bens willpower not to peak at Looma as she removed her nightie to put on her armour.

They exited Loomas room and headed back to the hanger bay where they met up with Rook, Blukic and Driba. "Hey guys."

"I trust you three rested well?" Looma asked.

Rook gave a small bow of his head. "We did, thank you princess."

"It would perfect if Blukic hadn't kept hogging the covers." Driba said.

"No I didn't!" Blukic said

"Yes you did!" Driba said.

"No I didn't!" Blukic said.

"Yes you did!" Driba said.

"Are they always like this?" The princess asked.

"Pretty much." Ben shrugged as a Tetramand guard walked over.

"The ship is ready Princess," he said handing her a case.

"Very good." Looma said before looking to the group. "One of our ships will bring you and your ship safely back down to Earth." She opened the case revealing its contents to be Taydenite. "This should cover the cost of repairing your ship Rook Blonko." She handed him the case.

"Thank you princess," the Revonnahgander happily accepted.

Looma looked to her fiancé. "I have some important business to take care of so I'm afraid we wont be able to spend any time together today."

"Aw that's too bad." Ben said hiding his relief. "But hey you're a princess, you've got responsibilities."

Looma smiled, "Thank you for understanding Beloved." Before Ben could respond Looma picked him up so they were at eye level and kissed him. The kiss lasted for a few seconds and when they separated bens face was a red as Loomas, she put him back on his feet. "I will call you tomorrow when I can." With that she left the hanger bay.

Ben stood frozen until he heard Driba say, "Should we have taken a picture of that kiss to?"

Ben then snapped out of it. "NO!"

A few minutes later a large Tetramand ship was carrying the Proto-TRUK in its hull towards Earth, though damaged Rook, Ben, Blukic and Driba still rode in it. "So," Ben said suddenly, "I got a question, what the heck were you guys doing in the vents?"

"As I said before you left to see the princess I had a feeling in my gut that something was going on, so I decided to investigate. Since stealth was needed I chose to enter the ventilation system to move through the ship undetected." Rook said.

"Oh like in Die Hard." Ben said.

"Die what?" Rook asked.

"Die Hard, the movie?" He tried but the Revonnahgander shook his head. "Okay first thing when we get back we have to watch that movie."

"Very well." Rook said not seeing what was so important about the movie but decided to continue. "Once in the vent I passed over Blukic and Dribas room and they requested to join me."

"There wasn't much to do in the room." Blukic said.

Ben raised an eyebrow, "Yeah well considering how they nearly blew your cover it might have bin better to leave them in the room."

"Then we wouldn't have seen you and the princess kissing." Driba pointed out.

Ben started blushing. "I only did that to distract her so you three wouldn't get caught!" He pointed at the three of them.

"Speaking of which Ben I must say that was a very ingenious way to distract Looma." Rook said. "I never would have thought of it."

Ben smirked putting his hands back behind his head. "Well your mind doesn't work like mine."

Rook gave him a look. "No argument here."

Ben raised an eyebrow wondered if that was a compliment or an insult but dismissed it. "So back to you guys in the vents."

(Flashback)

"I don't see anything special about these vents." Driba said.

"Though they are cleaner then the vents back at base." Blukic pointed out.

The two Glavans were walking ahead of Rook, who was crawling through the air vent. They soon stopped above two guards talking.

"Did you return the ionised proton cannon to the armoury?" One guard asked.

"Yes, its secure." he nodded. "But I still don't understand what the point of this was."

"The princess was very clear with her orders." the other guard reminded him. "And we are not to speak of this to anyone."

This made the caught the attention of the tree, inside the vent. "Secret orders?" Rook asked himself.

"I still can't believe the princess is going to marry that puny human, even if he did defeat her." The second guard said.

"Perhaps she wishes to carry him around in her weapons satchel?" The other guard quipped and they both laughed.

(Present)

"Carry me around in her weapons satchel?" Ben asked angrily. "Whats that supposed to mean?"

"I believe it is similar to how female earth celebrities carry small canines in their bags." Rook explained.

Ben was not amused. "That is just not cool."

"I don't know," Blukic spoke up. "I'd say you could fit inside a Tetramand weapon satchel."

"That's true," Driba agreed. "Between the princess's strength and your height, there be no proble-"

"Just get back to the story!" Ben snapped.

"The guards continued talking," Rook went on.

(Flashback)

"Whats the status of the ships?" The second guard asked.

"They the alterations will be undone within the hour," he said. "But should the need arise, they are still fully functional."

"Good," the second guard nodded. "The sooner this ridiculous farce is over the better." He began walking away.

"Careful where you step." The first guard warned, making the other guard stop and look back. "The princess would be angry if you accidentally stepped on her fiancé." The two of them laughed one more time before walking away in different directions.

Back in the vent, Rook narrowed his eyes. "We need to keep moving."

(Present)

"Soon we found ourselves over the Princess'es room, where Blukic and Driba fell through the vent and nearly got the three of us discovered." Rook finished.

"And I think we all know why the vent fell open," Blukic said glaring at Driba.

"What?" The Galvan asked.

"This confirms my suspicions that the damage to my Proto-TRUK and all other ships being unavailable, was all part of plan to have us stay." Rook finished.

"Wow," Ben blinked. "She went to all that trouble just so I'd spend the night with her?" He smile formed on his face.

Rook raised an eyebrow, "Ben?"

"Huh?" Ben blinked, "oh right. Ah, great detective work Rook."

"Thank you," the Revonnahgander said. "But I am still uncertain as to what the reason she wanted us to stay was."

Ben blushed knowing the reason. "Who knows?"

Once back on Earth the Tetramand ship left the Proto-TRUK in the Mr Smoothy parking lot, at Bens instruction, before flying back to the warship. Rook had just finished contacting Plumber HQ to request pick up to take them back to base. "I still do not see why we had to be left here." He looked to a table where Ben, Blukic and Driba were drinking smoothies. "There are several other parking lots closer to the base."

Ben finished his smoothy and bleched. "First of all, we were gonna have to call for pick up any since the Proto-TRUKs busted, so we might as well enjoy ourselves while we wait. Second, this is the closest Mr Smoothy to the base and third, we took a vote." He finished with a smirk.

"Three against one." Blukic said trying to chug his smoothy in one go.

Rook sighed and took a seat at the table. "So how was your tour of the warship with Looma?"

"It was pretty cool." Ben said. "She showed me the armory and it had some really big guns." he held out his hands for emphasis "Then she showed me their sparring room where we had a little rematch."

"Who won?" Driba asked.

"Who do you think?" Ben said smugly.

"The princess." Both Galvans said together.

"Me!" Ben said in an annoyed tone. "I won!"

"Oh." Rook said in surprise.

"Why do you sound so surprised?" Ben asked.

"During your fist battle Looma no doubt underestimated you as you are human, now she would most likely fight better."

Ben looked away. "She kinda mentioned that," he looked back with a smile. "But I still won."

"What about after Commander Rotar took you to your special accommodations?" The Revonnahgander asked.

"Looma showed me to her personal hot tub to help unwind after our rematch." Ben said. "Did you guys know Tetramands invented hot tubs?"

"Of course." Rook nodded.

"Everybody knows that." Driba pointed out.

"Duh!" Blukic added.

Ben rolled his eyes. "We soaked for a few minutes and then you three nearly fell out of the vent and I had to cover for you." He decided to leave out the parts about the backrubs, lotion and sleeping in Loomas bed, he blushed just thinking about it.

This didn't go unnoticed by Rook. "Did something else happen?"

Bens eyes widened. "What? No course not, why would you think that?"

"Your face went red indicating you were embarrassed about something, that paired with your reaction to my question leads me to the conclusion that something embarrassing happened while you were with the princess." Rook finished.

Ben blinked, "Now that's some detective work." he admitted. He then saw the Revonnahgander and the two Galvans looking at expectantly. Thinking hard for a way out of this, then it hit him. "Okay okay something did happen," he sighed. "When Looma turned on the hot tub I tried to get in but it turns out the comfortable temperature for a Tetramand, is way too hot for a human and I burnt my foot."

"I see." Rook said placing a hand under his chin. "It is an understandable mistake though I don't see why you are embarrassed about it."

"When pulled my foot outta the hot water I started jumping up and down on one foot." Ben sighed. "And ended up falling off the hot tub."

Blukic and Driba looked at each other then burst out laughing. "Now is embarrassing." Blukic said.

"Haha." Ben laughed sarcastically. "Can we keep this and the me kissing Looma part between the four of us?"

"Very well." Rook nodded.

Ben looked at the two Galvans who were whispering to one another before Driba looked at Ben. "Throw in thirty Smoothies."

"Each." Blukic added.

"Deal!" Ben smiled shaking both their tiny hands, he smirked to himself. "I kept the real embarrassing stuff secret by admitting something I'm not embarrassed about at all." he mentally laughed.

It wasn't long before they were picked up and brought back to Plumber headquarters, once there they headed to the command room where Max and Patelliday were waiting for them. "How'd the mission go?"

"My Proto-TRUK was regrettably damaged, excluding that the mission was a success Magister Tennysen." Rook said. "During the tour Blukic and Driba were able to identify much of the warships structure and systems." The two Galvans held up their cameras.

"Well load the data into the main console." Patelliday said.

Max looked to his grandson. "What about you Ben?"

"Well I got a private tour from Looma, we ended up having a rematch." Ben said "Which I won." he added proudly.

"Anything else we should know?" He asked.

"Nothing think of." Ben shrugged.

"Uploading now." Driba said as he and Blukic inserted the memory cards into the console. Images appeared on the screen one after the other at rapid speed until they were all loaded, the final picture to load was a picture of Ben and Looma kissing.

Bens eyes widened in shock. "Nothing huh?" Max raised an eyebrow.

Patelliday adjusted his glasses, "That brings back memories." He laughed.

Ben blushed a little. "Hey I did that to save these three!" He gestured to the Revonnahgander and two Galvans. "Tell em Rook."

"Ben is correct." Rook explained how they were in the vents and how Bens quick thinking prevented them from being discovered.

"Now that's some impressive improvising Ben." Patelliday said.

"Thanks." Ben said still a little embarrassed. "Now can we get that off the screen please!"

"Easy Ben." Max placed a hand on his shoulder. "Look on the bright side, how many people can say they kissed a princess?"

"I guess." Ben admitted while looking away and thinking about how good the kiss was. He snapped out of it. "Anyway those pictures don't have anything to do with the warship so they should be deleted."

"That sounds logical." Rook said.

"You heard the man." Patelliday said. "Delete the pictures of him smooching the princess."

Blukic and Driba began pressing a series of buttons and all the pictures of Ben and Looma appeared on screen "Whoops." Driba said.

"Whoops? Whats whoops?" Ben raised an eyebrow.

Suddenly a series of beeps could be heard all throughout the base as one of the pictures appeared on every screen and holoscreen with in the base, even handheld holopads received the pictures. "Those pictures were just sent to every computer within the base." Blukic explained. "That whoops."

Bens jaw was hanging open in disbelief at what just happened. "Ben?" Rook shook his shoulder but got no response.

"Speak to us son." Patelliday snapped his fingers in front of Bens face but with no luck.

Blukic and Driba looked around at all the pictures around the base and then looked at one another before looking at Ben. "Do we still get those smoothies?" Blukic asked.

This seemed to get Bens attention. "What?"

"Technically, we didn't tell anyone." Blukic pointed out. "So do we still get our smoothies?"

Ben faced the two with a angry look on his face and raised the Omnitrix and without looking selected an alien and slammed down on the core. Standing in his place was a giant orange crab with a very large head, he wore belt which contained the Omnitrix. "The only thing you two are getting is a few HUNDRED BLOTS!" Brainstorm yelled without opening his mouth. The plates on top of his skull opened revealing a very large brain from which he fired green lighting at them which the two Galvans were barely able to doge. They jumped onto a nearby hover scooter and fled but Ben chased after them. "GET BACK HERE!" He shouted.

"Oh boy." Max faceplamed before taking out his plumber badge. "We need back up in the main control room." With that he, Rook and Patelliday ran after them.

Tetramand Warship

Looma was in her private quarters and approached a holoscreen, she pressed several buttons and after a few seconds another Tetramand appeared on the screen. He was very large and muscular even for a Tetramand, he wore an eye patch over his lower left eye and was missing his lower left arm. He wore a golden shoulder pad on his upper left arm and golden arm shields on his hands, a white fur cape on his back and a helmet that went around his jaw but didn't cover his head, it had two horns on each side but the right one was broken. This was Warlord Gar of the house of the Red Wind. "Looma!" he smiled seeing his daughter.

"Hello father." Looma said. "How goes things on Khoros?"

"Oh a rebellion attempted to storm to castle," he waved it off. "But never mind that hows your trip been going?" he asked eagerly.

"Its been amazing!" she clasped her hands together. "Ben took me on a tour of undertown and we had our first battle together!"

"That's wonderful!" Gar said.

"I was even able to collect one of the four required items." Looma went on to tell her father about Ben taking her two the movies and out to lunch where they were able to contact Rontur the preparer to cater the wedding. Then about giving him the tour of the warship. "We even had battled in the sparring room, it was even greater than the first time."

Gar noticed his daughters cheeks turn pink. "I sensing something else happened as well?"

Looma looked away as blushed harder and clasped her hands behind her back, "We had our first kiss."

"Fantastic!" Gar said glad to see his daughter so happy. "I knew you two were meant to be the moment he defeated you."

"I know." Loomas voice became more high pitched with her excitement "And to think I was nearly married to that Kevin Levin. But then a true warrior came."

"The universes greatest hero, he'll make a fine son in law." Gar nodded.

"A warrior one who takes me out on dates and our battles stir my soul," she said with a dreamy look on her face.

Gars face became serious. "Looma I know your excited and how thrilling battle with your future partner can be. But remember, you are a Princess of the house of the Red Wind and its finest warrior."

Looma became serious as well. "I know father, as a princess I have traditions to uphold." A moment later her serious expression cracked into a girlish squeal. "I'm just so excited!"

Gar couldn't help but smile, "You sound just like your mother after I defeated her in our very first battle. Well I have matters that require my attention, Good Battle daughter."

"Good Battle father." Looma replied and the communcation ended. She headed over to her wordrobe, looked inside and smiled, "These will get the job done and quite nicely to."

Plumber Base

Max stood there with his hands on his sides. "Alright Ben are you ready to clamb down yet?"

Brainstorm struggled to stand up but this proved futile as the large group of Plumbers who had dog piled on him to restrain him were too heavy. "No!" But he still struggled.

Blukic and Driba were behind Max's legs and looked out. "Is it safe yet?" Driba asked.

Brainstorm tried to reach for them with his pincers but they were being held by more Plumers including Rook and Patelliday. "Don't think so." Blukic said.

"You gotta clam down Ben or your gonna hurt somebody." Patelliday warned.

"Actually Magister Patelliday, I believe that is Bens intention." Rook said.

Ben rolled his eyes or at least thought he did and sighed. "Okay. I'm clamb." The Plumbers all got off of him just as the Omnitrix timed out and he changed back to human. He cast a look at Blukic and Driba who were still hiding behind Max and pointed at them. "This isn't over." With that he walked away as did everyone but Max, Patelliday, Rook, Blukic and Driba.

The two Galvans let out relived sighs. "That was a close one."

Max shook his head as Rook approached him. "Even with their mistake Ben wouldn't really harm them would he?"

"No." Max shook his head. "He just needs to blow off some steam and he'll be fine."

"Hey fellas." Patelliday got their attention. "Do any of you smell something off?"

The four of them smelled the air and there was indeed a very unpleasant smell in the air. Rook pinched his nose. "Ugh, perhaps Jerry from Inhuman Resources left his lunch by the heating duct again."

"Wait, I know that smell." Max sniffed again and his eyes widened. "Its-" He was cut off when streams of green slime shot down hitting Blukic and Driba pushing them across the floor until they hit the wall. When the stream stopped the two Galvans were stuck to the wall being held in place by the sticky green goo, everyone looked where the goo had come from and saw where it had come from.

In the air was a large insect with four green insect-like legs and two arms, four insectoid wings that were flapping continuously letting him fly and a tail with a sharp black stinger at the end. It had four eyes each of which were on a stalks connected to the sides of his head where the Omnitrix rested on its forehead "Stinkfly shoots, he scores!" Ben laughed descending to the floor.

Max smiled "I knew it." He crossed his arms as Ben landed. "After a summer of dealing with that smell, you don't forget it. So feeling better?"

In a green flash Stinkfly turned back into Ben. "Much better." He looked at Blukic and Driba who were struggling to get free. "Now its over. If anybody needs me, I'll be at burger shack." He walked away once again but this time with a smile on his face.

Max looked to Rook, "I told you he'd be fine."

"Ahem!" They turned to the two stuck Galvans.

They spoke in unison. "A little help?"

I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. I have a surprise for everyone. In celebration of my new job, I'm going to post another chapter of this story later this month. I have a strong feeling you'll all enjoy chapter 9, it's gonna be a very memorable chapter.
