A/N: Before everyone reading this, I want to tell you guys I will be writing this differently from a usual Fanfics of mine. It will be compose of many Episodes from the OS, just some slight variation that will make it an Episodes of its own. Also, check out a DeviantArt user RZGmon200 for not only drawing the designs of Gwen 10 Aliens, but also giving their own names as well. Now that being said, enjoy reading this chapter that I create after 2019.
Space
Unknown Time
In outer space, two spaceships are locked in a firefight. One is a large brown ship called Chimeran Hammer, and the other is a smaller teal ship. The Chimeran Hammer dominates the fight against the teal ship by sending out drones to assist as well as shooting lasers from the main arsenal.
Chimeran Hammer
Unknown Time
In the Chimeran Hammer, a red robot was looking at the ship with the monitor, [We're near the targeted ship as we speak.]
"Good!" A shadowy figure in the background with red eyes was sitting on a chair, impatient about his achievement. "I've come too far to deny my goal. And no one will be able to stop me!" The fight continues as they approach a planet called Earth.
Gwen's House, Bellwood
03.24 PM
On Earth, a girl is preparing for a field trip.
She has green eyes and short red hair held by a blue hairclip. While also wears sapphire earrings, an elbow-length blue raglan shirt with a cat logo with a number 10, white capri pants, and white sneakers with dark blue stripes without socks.
She's living in a two-floor house colored white. She was preparing the essentials for today in her traveling bag. "Gwen, are you done yet?"
The girl called Gwen Tennyson heard her mother's voice, "Almost done, mom!" She zipped up the bag and carried it downstairs.
In the living room, she saw her mom (a woman with red hair, dark blue eyes, black eyebrows, thick eyelashes, and bags under her eyes. She wears a white blouse with a green vest and a dark grey skirt with high-heeled shoes of the same color.) washing the dishes.
"Mom, is dad going to be here?"
"Sorry, sweetheart. Your father called to work this morning. So, he won't be here."
Gwen looked down, feeling sad that her father wasn't there. She heard a knock on the door, "I'll get it." Gwen opened the door and saw her grandpa there, "Grandpa!"
Max pats Gwen's head. "I knew you prepared something for the trip."
Max looked at Natalie, "Natalie, I'll take Gwen on a road trip!" Max said.
"You got it, Max!" Gwen walked out of the house and went to the RV called the Rust Bucket.
Rust Bucket
03.25 PM
She went inside and saw someone wasn't there, "So, the doofus isn't here yet?"
"Not yet. I thought I picked him up after his class." Max said as he went to the driver's seat.
Gwen went to the back, putting the bag down. Max drove the RV, heading towards Ben's school.
Rust Bucket
03.31 PM
As they arrived at Ben's school, Gwen noticed Ben hanging on the tree with another kid. She didn't like how Ben was hanging on the tree, 'Ouch! And I thought my bullies in my school were bad.' Max went outside, helping Ben and the kid get down from the tree.
Ben (a boy wearing a black-striped, white shirt with short sleeves, military green cargo pants with side pockets with a black belt hidden under his shirt, and black and white sneakers with black stripes.) entered the Rust Bucket, "Finally, a summer vacation."
He noticed Gwen on the table, surprising him, "What?! Grandpa, what is she doing here?!"
"Don't blame me, doofus! My mother thought it was a good idea that I'd go on a summer vacation with you."
Ben looked at Grandpa with disbelief, "Grandpa, you didn't-?"
"I thought it would be fun if your cousin came with us this summer. Is– that a problem?"
Ben and Gwen didn't say anything but stared at each other.
As Max drove his RV, Ben and Gwen were crossing their arms in their seats, "Spending a 3-month road trip with the queen of cooties is the worst thing that happened in my life."
"Hey! I had my vacation already all planned out, you know?" She pulled out her schedule, "Each activity is color-coded, so I never do the same thing two days in a row."
Ben was surprised by that, "Now, I'm stuck with my geekazoid cousin going camping for three months."
"Geek." "Jerk." They insult each other and started to glare with hate towards tehm.
Max could hear them bickering at the driver's seat, "Something tells me it's gonna be a long summer..." He drove the Rust Bucket out of Bellwood onto Route 66.
Yosemite Park, Campsite
05.53 PM
After reaching their destination, the Tennysons were sitting on a table bench. Max brings out a bowl of food and puts it on a table, "Chow time!"
They looked at the food and saw it was worms. Ben and Gwen were disgusted by the food, "Okay, I'd give up. What is this?" Ben asked.
"'Marinated mealworms.' Hard to find them fresh in the States. You know, they're considered a delicacy in some countries?"
"...And totally gross in others?" Gwen said as one worm crawl out of the bowl and wiggles away.
"If these don't sound good, I've got some smoked sheep's tongue in the fridge?"
"Urgh. Couldn't we have a burger or something?" Ben and Gwen smiled at Max.
"Nonsense. This summer is going to be an adventure for your taste buds. -I'll grab the tongue." Max said as he went back to the Rust Bucket.
Ben went to Gwen and whispered, "Okay, I got a half-eaten bag of corn chips and a candy bar in my backpack. What'd you got?"
"Some rice cakes and a hard candy."
"Think we can make them last the whole summer?" Both were sulked by the food they had for the summer.

Back in space, the Chimera Hammer and the teal ship continue firing at each other. The Chimera Hammer got the upper hand as the teal ship is getting more damage.

"Prepared to board! I want the Omnitrix, now!" He ordered the robot, and they prepared to board the ship.

As the Chimeran Hammer gets closer, the teal ship primes a laser blast and fires. The laser hits the control room, hitting the figure across. After the warship retaliates, blasting the ship into pieces. A small pod ejected from the teal ship, entering Earth's atmosphere.
Yosemite Park, Campsite
06.13 PM
In the woods, Ben and Gwen were doing their things to forget what food their grandpa gave to them. Max comes to where the cousins are. Ben was playing video games while Gwen was typing on her computer.
"Who wants roast marshmallows?" He asked them as he showed them the bag of marshmallows. They didn't reply and ignored it, "Okay, um... How about we tell scary stories?"
"Scarier than spending a summer with your freak of a cousin? Hehehe." Ben laughs at himself and continues playing video games.
Max looked at Gwen, "I'd like to, Grandpa, but I'm busy doing a web search on cures for 'extreme doofus-ness.' Nothing yet, Ben, but let's not give up hope!"
Gwen went back to typing as she told Ben, "Aww, come on, you two. We're all in this together. You can mope around like this all summer, or we can have fun. Now whadd'ya say?" Max asked,
"I pick moping." Ben said.
"I'd think I'll take a walk." Gwen puts down her laptop and walks into the wood.
"I... think they're starting to grow on each other."
Yosemite Park
06.16 PM
Gwen was walking in the woods, kicking some rocks, "I planned out everything to make this the best summer. Now it's all ruined thanks to the absurd doofus." Gwen realized what she said to herself, 'All right, Gwen. That was too harsh.'
Gwen saw a meteor shooting across the sky, catching Gwen's eye, "Well, I guess not everything is worst." Suddenly, it changed course, shocking Gwen.
She gasped before starting to run from the 'star.' The meteor crashes behind her, launching Gwen and sending smoke and debris into the air. Gwen rubbed her head before checking the crash. As the smoke clears, Gwen looks at it, getting her feet for a closer look. "D-Did a satellite crash?"
The light fades as Gwen leans in at the edge. The ground on her feet crumbles, sliding her down. She got up and saw it wasn't a satellite, "What is this?" The pod opens itself, and pink light in the shape of an hourglass shines from it.
She saw a large wristwatch, primarily dark blue, with a light blue dial in the middle and a pink hourglass symbol. It also has circular tubes.
"A watch? What's a watch doing out in space?" Gwen couldn't help but step closer to the pod. She outstretched her left arm, and the watch leaped from the pod and grabbed onto her left wrist, latching itself to her, "Aaaahhh!"
[Omnitrix synchronized.]
She heard it speaks, scaring her as she tried to get it off. "Get it off, get it off!" She loses balance after trying to remove it. She got out of the crater and started running, "Grandpa!"
Yosemite Park, Campsite
06.20 PM
Time passed, and Max started to feel worried for Gwen, "Hm, Gwen's been gone a while. I hope she isn't lost."
"Or starting a hobby with a stranger." Max looked at Ben, who was playing his video game. "What? I'm just saying."
Yosemite Park
06.21 PM
Gwen tries to pry the Omnitrix with a stick, but it quickly snapped. She was angered by this, "What kind of watch are you?" She looked at the Omnitrix, confused.
She sighed, not knowing what was going on. Gwen accidentally pressed a button, and she saw the core open. She looked around and saw nobody there. Gwen saw the Omnitrix displaying a silhouette of a figure with a fire on his head, "That's unique." She pressed the button, causing something unique.
Her body changed into a body composed of a super-hot inner plasma body covered by dark reddish brown volcanic rocks.
Her body radiates high amounts of heat. Her feet have a slight oval-like design with only two toes and one back.
Her collarbone resembles a volcano which generates a fiery "hair" that covers her head, leaving her mask-like face visible with no nose or ears.
Her body became leaner, her chest was more extensive, and her face was longer and more curved. Her forearms were skinnier. She wore the Omnitrix symbol on her chest with the cat symbol.
She saw her body change and started screaming, "Aaaahhh! I'm on fire! I'm on fire! -Hey! I'm on fire, and I'm okay." Gwen saw her hands differently, "Am I stuck in this forever?"
She looked at a tree branch and smirked, "Let's see if this works." She shot a small fireball, destroying the part of the tree. "Okay, talk about firepower."
She looked at the sky and prepared her fire blast. She fired it and created fireworks with the words Gwen 10. "Okay, if Ben has this, he would name the form I'm in." She touched her chin, not knowing what was happening in the background, "I think I called this Pyronika. Yes, it's fitting."
Then, she saw something brightening behind her. Pyronika noticed a forest fire behind her, "Wait! No, stop!" She rushed towards it, trying to put it out with her feet. But it only caused more fires to start, making the fire bigger around her, "Oh, girl! I'm going to be in so much trouble!" She said before more fire appeared.
Yosemite, Campsite
06.22 PM
Ben stopped playing after noticing smoke in the forest, "Um, grandpa, is that another campsite over there?"
Max looked at it, "Looks like somebody started a forest fire. We better call the ranger for this. Probably some delinquents that mess around—" Max stopped talking, realizing where the fire was. "Gwen!"
Ben was surprised by this. "Gwen is over there?!" Max headed to the Rust Bucket, grabbing two fire extinguishers,
"You might want to take this." Ben nodded and grabbed the fire extinguisher.
They run into the forest fire and try to find Gwen.
Yosemite Park
06.25 PM
Meanwhile, Pyronika was trying to put out the fire, "Okay, this doesn't work. I need some plan." She looked at the hands, realizing something. "This might be a stretch, but I have to try." She used her hands, but instead of firing fire, it absorbed into her hands.
"It's working. Let's hope I have enough time." She continued absorbing the fire, trying to stop the forest fire. Suddenly, she bumped someone behind her. She turned around and saw Ben in front of her.
"W-Woah! You're on fire!"
"Wasn't that obvious, doofus?"
Ben was surprised by the nickname, "Gwen, is that you?"
"Yes, it's me." Ben's eyes stared at Pyronika.
"Awesome! What kind of monster are you?" He excitingly asked her about it.
"I would tell you, but there isn't enough time!"
"Ben! Did you find-? What in the blazes?"
Max was shocked by Pyronika, "Hey, grandpa, guess who?"
"Gwen? How did you-?" But he was interrupted by Pyronika.
"I would tell you. But we have a situation here."
They saw the forest fire getting hotter and more trees are getting burnt down, "What should we do?"
"I could absorb the fire. But we don't have enough time." Pyronika said.
He look at it and come with a plan, "Backfire." He then turns to Pyronika, "Started a new fire and let it burn into the old fire. They'll snuff each other out. Think you can do it, Gwen?"
"I'll try." Three of them run out, with Pyronika heading in the opposite direction. As Pyronika saw trees that weren't on fire, she shots them with a blast of fire, causing a new blaze. She smiled, knowing the forest fire had stopped.
Yosemite Park
06.35 PM
The ranger drove his jeep and came across something. He saw the burnt-out forest, not knowing what was going on and how it had happened.

After the Omnitrix's pod send to Earth, the Chimeran Hammer is currently repaired after getting hit by the beam.
Chimeran Hammer
Unknown Time
Inside, the alien figure was in a tank, healing from his wounds. "What do you mean it's not there?! This battle nearly costs me my life! –And you say the Omnitrix is no longer on board the transport?" He asked the lieutenant.
[Sensors indicate a probe was jettisoned from the ship. Just before boarding, it landed on the planet below.] He told Vilgax his searchings.
"Bring it to me!" The bioid bows to him and walks off into the darkness.
Yosemite Park, Campsite
06.40 PM
Back on Earth, the trio was eating marshmallows at the campsite. Pyronika explains to them what happened before the forest fire, "And you say that this Omnitrix 'just jumped up and clamped onto your wrist'?"
Ben threw another marshmallow to Gwen, and she caught it. "It wasn't my fault, Grandpa. I swear it." She said before swallowing the marshmallow.
"I believe you, Gwen."
"Is she going to be stuck in that monster forever?" Ben asked.
"She's not a monster. She's an alien." Both were surprised by what Max just said, to which he immediately follow it up with, "I-I mean, look at her. What else could she be?" Max asked.
"I don't want to be stuck in Pyronika forever. How am I supposed to continue my dream of entering college?"
"Don't worry, Gwen. We'll figure something out."
Suddenly, the Omnitrix started to beep red and flashed a red light, blinding Ben and Max. As the flash was gone, Gwen was back to human, "Hey, I'm me again!"
"Aw, man! I like it better when you're campfire." Ben pout as he look at the marshmallow in his hand.
Gwen then tries to rip off the Omnitrix again, but still remain not working. "I still can't get this thing off."
"Better not fool with it until we exactly know what we're dealing with." Gwen stop attempting to get the Omnitrix off as Max gets up, "I'll go check out that crash site. You guys stay here until I get back." Max said before grabbing a flashlight and leaving the campsite.
Yosemite Park
06.41 PM
As the evening continued, a pod from Vilgax's ship was ejected and landed on the ground. The pod changed into a giant robot with big metal hands called Mechadroid.
The robot scanned the Omnitrix's pod and disintegrated it at the crash site. It ejected smaller flying Mechadroids from its shoulders to go find the watch.
Yosemite Park, Campsite
06.41 PM
After Max left the camp, Ben and Gwen were sitting by the fire, getting bored. "This is boring." Ben said as he boringly eating the roasted marshmallow.
"Yeah, Grandpa might not get back for a long time."
"So, you're not going to use it?"
"Use what?" Ben pointed to the Omnitrix, "Sorry, Ben. But I'm letting you messing around with this." Gwen said, she couldn't imagine Ben with the Omnitrix instead of her.
"But aren't you curious about it? After all, there's no way there can only be one alien inside that." Ben told her.
For all the times they were together, she saw Ben has a point, for once. "You made a good point." She tried turning the dial, but it did nothing. "Maybe I can do something with this."
"Really?"
She nodded, "I can use it to help people. You know, as a superhero." Ben was surprised that she said as a superhero.
"I thought you wanted to go college or something."
She then explains, "I can't just let people hurt. Besides, people's lives are more important than going to college. If I don't do something, I accused myself for that."
Ben smiled, couldn't help but impressed by her. "Not bad, Gwen. Not bad."
Yosemite Park
06.41 PM
Max arrived at the crash site and picked up a piece of metal, "I don't like this one bit." He felt worried about this.
Yosemite Park, Campsite
06.44 PM
Gwen tried pulling the faceplate, but it did nothing. "Still working on that?" Ben asked.
"Yeah, it's not going to be easy." Gwen tries pulling it up, and saw it doesn't work either.
"So, what's it like to be that fire alien?" He asked.
"It was weird. It was like I'm somebody else." She pressed the button, and faceplates sprung up, "Hey, I got it working. Which aliens should I be using?" Gwen turned the dial, seeing new silhouettes.
"Your choice, dweeb."
Gwen makes a face before selecting a silhouette shaped like a plant monster. She pressed it, changing into the alien.
Her body turned into a humanoid plant shaped like a dress with one pink eye in the middle of his face, five vine-like legs, four long fingers on his hands, large flytrap-shaped flaps with teeth covering his head, and pods on his back.
Her head has bulb-like hair with a ponytail and dark green lips. She has a skirt-like structure on her waist which covers the top of her leg tendrils. She wears the Omnitrix symbol with the cat symbol on her stomach.
After transforming, Ben was wowed by the alien, "Wow, it's actually like a plant monster!"
"You got that right. And I can't believe I have a head inside a flytrap."
She stretched out her arms and grabbed onto the tree branch. She pulled herself up and landed, "That's so high! So, what are you calling this one?" Ben asked.
She then thinks about this, "How about Thornica? I wanted to be a girl name with—"
"No, no. I understand, and for a girl's name." He gave it a thumbs up.
"Much appreciated."
Suddenly, she turned her head into the trees, "Gwen, is there something wrong?" Thornica didn't answer and immediately went into the woods, "Gwen!" Ben runs into the woods, catching up with her.
Yosemite Park
06.46 PM
As Thornica continued swinging, she stopped and looked around, 'That's weird. I thought I saw something fly by here.' Suddenly, the branch she was on was destroyed, "What?!"
She turned around and saw a Mechadroid, "Where did that drone come from?" Thornica stretched her arms onto another branch and swung her body. She leaps to other trees, evading the pursuing Mechadroid's lasers.
As it continued chasing her, it didn't see where Thornica was now. Behind, she was blending into the tree and landing on top of it, "How do you like this?" She ripped out the laser arm and the head. Her Omnitrix started to beeping, "Oh, come on!"
She saw that she was about to crash into the side of the cliff. Thornica leaps off before it crashes and transforms back into Gwen, "Yes, I made it!" Then a second Mechadroid looks down on her, "This isn't good!"
As it has Gwen's insights, it was hit by Ben with a shovel. "Stay away from my cousin!" He continued hitting it more, until it was in pieces. After that, he quickly saved her from falling, "Come on, pull up!"
"Yeah, I'm coming up!"
He pulls her back up, away from the edge. Both saw the Mechadroid start beeping, "Run!" They quickly run before it explodes.
Rust Bucket
06.50 PM
"I thought I told you not to mess around with it. We don't even know what it is. And Ben, you're in trouble for supporting her than against it." Max scolds Gwen and Ben.
"Sorry, grandpa. But we're trying to see how this works. Look, I know it's necessary to listen to the grown-ups. But I want to help people." Gwen said.
"She's right, grandpa. Can you let her keep it?" Ben asked. Max was still mad about it, but accepts it anyway.
"Well, since that watch clamped on to your wrist, it's better to learn how to use it." Max said.
"Thanks, grandpa."
Suddenly, they heard someone calling on the radio, [Mayday! Mayday! Somebody help us! We're under attack by some sort of– I know you're not going to believe me, but… robot!]
They heard the ranger calling for help, "Sounds just like those things that attacked me. Must be looking for the watch."
"Then you know what to do, right?" She nodded and looked at the Omnitrix.
Yosemite Park
07.00 PM
Ben, Gwen, and Max go into the woods for Gwen's transformation. Her Omnitrix started to lighten up and stand by. She looked at Max, and he nodded in approval.
She pressed the button and turned the dial. "Let's see." She continued dialing before settling on another alien, "Here we go." She presses it, turning into the selected unknown.
Her body turned into the silicon-based life form made of super-hard, green/blue diamond-like material.
She has darker and shinier crystals, thinner arms, a more rounded body, and a squarer head. She wears a half dark blue, half light blue uniform. She has pink eyes and wears the Omnitrix symbol with a cat symbol on the left side of her chest.
"What does this one do?" Ben asked.
"I don't know." She looked at her hand before clenching, "But I think Sapphire will make short of them."
Yosemite Park, Large Campsite
07.03 PM
They ran to the large campsite and saw the giant Mechadroid attacking civilians. "Looks like it might be the head of those drones I saw in the woods." She turned to Max and Ben, "I'll get its attention. You guys get the campers to safety."
Both nodded and split up. Sapphire's eyes glowed, and she ran to the Mechadroid. The giant robot as it grabs the Park Ranger as he's helping one of the campers left behind, with the others running off screaming.
"Leave him alone!" That got Mechadroid attention, "You want somebody to pick on? Try me." It scanned Sapphire and saw the Omnitrix. The robot dropped the ranger and walked towards Sapphire. "Let do this!" Sapphire shoots crystal from her hands, shooting at the robot.
It fought back with laser eyes, and Sapphire dodged it by rolling to the left side. She turned her left hand into a blade arm and tried slashing it. The Mechadroid jumps in the air and spins its three legs, falling down onto Sapphire. "Uh. 'Think I'm in trouble." She begins to struggle to get out of the bottom of the robot.
While fighting continues, Ben and Max rescue the ranger as people scream and fire in the background, "What is going on here?"
"It's hard to explained, but the short version is we need to run. Let's go!"
He hesitated as Max and Ben ran off. He runs once the giant robot throws Sapphire into his truck, barely missing him. Sapphire jumped out and continued firing crystal at the robot while dodging the laser. She threw a great shard at the robot's head, damaging his aiming system.
The Mechadroid fires various lasers everywhere, trying to hit his target. One of the lasers managed to hit a tree, and Sapphire saw Ben carrying a puppy by the falling tree. He turned around and saw the tree falling, "Oh, man!" He closed his eyes, covering the pup.
Suddenly, the tree splits into two. Ben opened his eyes and saw Sapphire in front of him, growing a mountain of spikes on his back to cut it. She retracted her points into her body, "So, we're even?"
Ben nodded, "Yeah, we're even."
Suddenly, the robot grabbed Sapphire's entire body with one, "Uh-oh."
The robot lifted her in the air and pulled her left arm, trying to remove the Omnitrix. She struggled but got out by using spikes on her left hand, "Here's another!" She used her left-hand blade, slashing the robot's eye. The robot shoots her Sapphire away with its other hand, crashing her into the RV.
"Gwen!" Max saw Gwen crash into the RV, worried for her safety. She got up and tried using her arms to block the next blast. She does momentarily as the laser reflects off his arms, sending split beams to fly in all directions.
However, Sapphire couldn't hold it, and she got pushed back to the ground. She looked at her hand and have an idea, "Of course! The power of reflection." She gets back up, and the robot approaches. "Come on! Fire me!" Sapphire shouted at the robot and pointed to her chest for another laser.
Max and Ben saw Sapphire letting the robot shoots her, "Run! Get out of there!"
The following shot fires and Gwen holds her palms up to it. She is still pushed back by it a little, but she's now gotten the hang of reflecting the robot's lasers.
"'What comes around, goes around.' Let's see how you like it, you techno gizmo!" She redirected the laser by changing the shape of her palms, destroying the head of the robot.
The body crashed to the ground, indicating it's been destroyed. "All right!"
"Way to go, Gwe-." He stared at two campers before covering up her name, "...um –Sapphire!"
Sapphire waved her left hand and nodded. "Well, time to go!" She jaunts away, heading back to the Rust Bucket.
"What was that thing?" The campers saw Max and Gwen tip-toe, and they shrugged it off.
Chimeran Hammer

Meanwhile, the alien saw the Mechadroid was destroyed, "The user managed to destroyed it?! No matter, I will have the Omnitrix and hanged the user's body on a trophy wall!" He declared as his body continue healing in the chamber.
Yosemite Park, Campsite
07.13 AM
The following morning, Ben and Max packed up for another trip, "Have you seen your cousin?"
"Wasn't at breakfast." Suddenly, they saw something come to their camp.
The thing stopped his speed, and they saw its appearance. It was an upright alien that resembled a semi-armored velociraptor. Its face has freckles, pink eyes, Gwen 10's hair clips, and a black helmet.
The majority of her outfit is dark blue with a light blue section around her neck that goes down her chest in a V-formation, light blue stripes on her forearms and wrists, two light blue stripes on the end of her tail, and a light blue stripe on each of her legs where the outfit ends.
Her hands are more human-shaped, with claws for fingers. She wears the Omnitrix symbol on her chest with a cat shape surrounding it.
"Gwen?"
"Yeah, it's me. Looks you need some help on that." Her visor came down, and she used her super-speed to break camp and pack the baggage in record time, "That's taken care of." Her Omnitrix started to beeping and turned back into Gwen, "Sorry about leaving like that. There were some hunters in the forest. So, I took care of them last night."
"That's alright. You did the right thing." Max said.
"But that's the only thing, right?" Ben asked.
She smiled before pulling something out of her pocket. "Here, Ben. As a thank you gift." Gwen gave him two pictures, and Ben laughed.
"Oh, man! This is great."
"What is it?" He showed Max pictures of Ben's and Gwen's bullies on a tree. Max couldn't help but smile, "All right. I'll let this pass. Come on, let's get back on the road."
Rust Bucket
07.13 AM
They entered the Rust Bucket as Max started the engine, "Did you eat something before going out?" Ben asked.
"I did eat a fish by the river."
They sit in their seats, as Ben was surprised by her answer. "Really?"
"Yeah. I turned into this fish alien to catch some fish. Then turned into Pyronika again to start a fire. And then that speed alien for some fun." Ben nodded at her description of events.
As Max started driving the Rust Bucket, Gwen pulled out a notebook from her bag. Ben saw her writing down something, "What are you writing?"
"I'm writing the aliens that I have been transformed. So, that I can remember how I utilized it."
"Like Power and Weaknesses?" Gwen nodded.
"But also the description of the appearance."
"Great. I'll play some games to pass some time." She nodded as Ben got his game from the bag.
Max saw Ben and Gwen weren't bickering this time, "I hope they will get along just fine." As the Rust Bucket continues driving, Gwen writes down the descriptions of aliens she's been using.
...
Washington DC, MegaMart
02.26 PM
After Gwen stopped a robbery nearby, they arrived at the MegaMart to get more food for the road. They walked down aisles, and Gwen noticed Ben running into the cereal aisle.
"What are you doing, doofus?"
She saw Ben looking at a cereal box called 'Sumo-Smacks' and the advertisement, "You know what I'm looking for, dweeb."
"Let me guess? A Sumo Slammer Card?" She guessed.
"Yes! But the gold ones. Those I wanted the most."
Gwen sighed on his obsession, "Are you going to buy that one?" She points to the cereal box he's holding.
"Well, not only this one." Gwen facepalmed, knowing this would happen.
The next thing that happened was Ben putting a mountain of cereal boxes in Max's shopping cart. "So, uh, why are we buying all of this cereal?" Max asked, "So I can get the Gold Sumo Slammer Card. I can't just pick one and called it a day."
"But don't you think you're getting a little –obsessed? That's way too much cereal that you bought." Gwen told him.
"She's right, Ben." Max agrees with her.
"All right, I don't deserve the Gold Sumo Slammer Card." He said sarcastically, "If I don't do hero work all the time."
"Superhero guilt? Pretty low. You would be trashing the whole aisle if you had this on." She points to the Omnitrix, which Ben shrugged it off.
"Hey, whatever it takes." Ben said as they continued walking.
As the trio walks, Ben sees a Sumo Slammer Card display, "Whoa. Sumo Slammer cards; a complete set!"
They saw him go to the collection, which disappoints them a little bit. "I'll go with him, grandpa. Can't trust him to go alone."
"All right. I'll be at the pet department." Gwen couldn't help but grossed out by what would be Max making.
'Please tell me you aren't looking for breakfast...' She splits up with Max and meets up with Ben.
Gwen saw him staring at the display with gazed eyes to the golden Sumo Slammer Card, "Someday, you'll be mine." He turned around and saw Gwen there, "Why are you here?"
"To keep an eye on you. Don't want my doofus to messed an aisle."
"And how would I-?" Suddenly, the entire shop begins to rumble. TV sets fall from their displays, people scream, and the walls burst, revealing a green-skinned man mounted on his giant frog.
Ben and Gwen hide behind a counter to see the man pocket the electronics. "Is that a mutated frog?" Gwen asked.
"I think it is." Ben comes out of hiding and confronts him, "Hey, what do you think you're doing?" The mutated frog used its tongue to knock stacks of boxes on top of Ben.
Ben came out of the boxes and looked at the man, "Don't be a hero, kid. Just run along and play."
As the man focused on Ben, Gwen turned her dial, selecting the alien in the hiding spot. The dial went to a silhouette of an alien with four arms, which gives her a plan. "Let's go!" She slammed the Omnitrix, turning into the alien.
The man and Ben turned around after noticing a pink flash, "What was that?" The man couldn't help but confused by the sudden flash's appearance.
"Freeze!" Ben and the man saw two security guards coming. One security guard was bewildered by the mutated frog, "Step away from the giant... frog and put your hands up!"
The man smirked and snapped his fingers. The mutated frog hits one guard, crashing him into the boxes. He mounted the frog again and moved away. The other guard pulls out a walkie-talkie, "Mayday, we have a problem! A green-skinned man riding a giant frog is headed to the Pet aisle!"
The guard saw Ben running to the counter, "Kid!"
"Don't worry! I'm just looking for my cousin." Ben said to the guard. He checked the counter and saw Gwen wasn't there, "Gwen, where are you?"
"I'm here!"
He heard a voice and saw no one there, "Where?"
"Down here!" He looked down and saw Gwen was a different alien.
This alien is a grey-skinned, frog-like, bipedal alien only four inches tall with large pink eyes, rectangular pupils, and horizontal eyelids. She wore a blue jumpsuit with a light blue dress design. She has a light blue stripe on her forehead and wears the Omnitrix on her back.
"Gwen?"
"Yeah, it's me!" Ben started to chuckle at the alien's appearance, "Ben!"
"S-Sorry, but why did you pick that alien? Hehehe."
"I don't know! I picked the alien with four arms, and I was turned into this!" She was irritated that she turned into another alien.
"Well, we should get going. That weird man is going to the pet aisle!"
"Gotcha!"
She jumped onto Ben's shoulder and grabbed on, "Hold on tight!" Ben then started running to the pet aisle with her hanging on.
At the aisle, Max was reviewing his list of items. Suddenly, the mutated frog landed in front of him. The man turns the dial on his invention, and red beams shoot out from it. "Aah!" Max jumped away from the ray. The ray mutated a hamster and a cockatiel.
Both animals burst out of their cages and stare menacingly at Max. Ben and Gwen ran over and saw Max run away from the hamster. The hamster roared at Ben and Gwen, "Oh, man! What kind of pet food are they selling around here?"
"I don't know."
The man theatrically presents his mutated animals, all aligned next to him. "Behold the genius of Dr. Animo. Nothing can stop me from getting what I deserve. Mark my words! Today I will make history, or- should I say...prehistory!" He said, introducing himself.
Max looked at Ben and saw Gwen wasn't there, "Where's Gwen?"
"I'm here." She came out of Ben's hair and stared at Max.
"How did you—?"
"It's a long story." She said.
The three gasp and scream as the hamster roars, taking a step forward. As they ran, Gwen saw the hamster getting closer, "Ben, duck!"
"Are you serious?!"
"Just trust me!" Ben turned around and saw the hamster nearing him.
He ducks and the hamster leaped over Ben. "We managed to dodge it."
"But we got a bigger problem." They saw the hamster chasing Max.
"Can you turn into another alien?"
She pressed the Omnitrix on her back, and it does nothing. "I can't. I don't think it lets me changing to another alien."
Ben saw a scooter nearby among the balls, "Let's used that!"
She turned to the scooter and get the idea. "Good idea." Ben then run towards it, getting the scooter.
As Max gets cornered, Ben lobs an American football at the hamster's head. The hamster gets Ben's attention as he was on a scooter, "I don't need to go hero to stop an overgrown fur-ball!" The hamster growled and chases Ben. As he drives away on a scooter, the hamster was chasing him from behind.
The hamster gains on him and takes a leaping bite; "Go under!" She told him.
Ben swerves under it, and it lands on a knocked-over shelf. She saw knocked over shelves and got an idea, 'This idea is fantastic like matter!' "Ride up the shelf!" Ben likes the idea from Gwen.
"Gotcha." Ben rides up the shelf like a ramp, flying in the air. The hamster tries to bite him but falls in between the two. As Ben lands on a shelf with the scooter, he topples them over on the hamster, trapping it for good.
"Ben! Gwen!" Max went over and saw the hamster trapped beneath the shelves, "Way to go, you two!"
They smiled at the compliment, "I guess Gwen Matter wasn't useless after all."
She crossed her arms at his quips and the name she was given, "Really, doofus? That's what you think?"
"Which one, the name or the usefulness?" Ben asked her for clarification.
[Clean up on aisle six!] An employee said on the intercom.
They heard a rumble and the frog leaped behind them, "You young fools! You cannot stop me! I will turn Washington D.C. into Washington B.C.!"
He jumps from his frog to the mutated parrot, who flies off with him through a skylight, with the frog following. They saw the store manager coming, "You two saved the entire store! If there's anything. I can repay you... Anything you want!"
Ben glance at the gold Sumo Slammer card, "Well-."
"There's no need to repay us, sir!" She interrupted him before Ben could say anything.
"But-!"
Max hands Ben's shoulder, "We don't have time, Ben. Come on, we have a giant parrot to follow."
Ben saw Gwen Matter smirk at him, "Don't say another word."
Rust Bucket
07.31 PM
Max drove the Rust Bucket, chasing the mutated parrot. Gwen was turned back and begin researching on the man. Max couldn't help but reminiscing his time in Washington DC as his driving through the city, "Ah, just like the good old days...before I retired."
Gwen looked on the internet and asked Max while she at it, "So, what kind of plumber were you, Grandpa?"
"Er- yuh-, a darn good one!" That got Gwen suspicious, but she ignored it and continue on with the search.
Max noticed Ben was glancing in the passenger seat, "Uh, Ben, what's the matter?"
"I save an entire MegaMart from being a giant hamster's chew toy, and what do I get? Nothing. It's not fair..." Ben said.
"Ben, being a hero isn't about others knowing you did something good. It's about you knowing you did something good! Being a hero is its own reward."
"What? Were you reading the greeting cards at the MegaMart?"
"Well, yes." Ben facepalmed at the response.
"Bingo!" Gwen said after she found something, "Five years ago, Dr. Animo was a promising researcher in veterinary science. But it turned out he was doing all these twisted genetic experiments where he was mutating animals, and when he didn't win some big prize called 'The Verities Award.' He flipped out. Anything about this sound familiar, Ben?"
Ben angrily looks out the window at the question. Max watched the parrot disappear between some buildings, "We lost him. He could be anywhere in Washington D.C."
"Or Washington 'B.C.'"
Ben then realized the direction he's taken, "That's it! I think I know where he's going."
Washington DC, Natural History Museum
08.47 PM
"The Natural History Museum." They saw feathers by the damaged entrance.
Max smiles as he saw how clever Ben was, "We might be on the right track. Good thinking, Ben!" Max said.
"Guess even a doofus can surprise you once in a while." Gwen said, impressed by his deduction.
"And you should know!"
While walking, Gwen finds a box labeled M Mart Electronics. In front of them, next to a mammoth exhibit, is Dr. Animo, fiddling with his machine. He stops and realizes they're here.
"You– are very persistent. I HATE persistent." Animo said.
"We all know about you and your freakazoid experiments, Dr. Animo! It's over!"
"Oh, but it's only just begun. You see, I only needed a few components to push my work into phase two: the reanimation of dormant cells."
Ben was confused, "Gwen. English, please?" He asked Gwen.
"He meant bringing back dead animals." She answered.
"Very correct! Now, observe!" Animo turns the dial twice this time. His device shoots beams into the mammoth, bringing it to life. It lets out a trumpet as it stomps down from its pedestal. "Behold the genius that is, Dr. Animo!"
After bringing it to life, he quickly runs to another room.
They saw the mammoth is about to stomped them, "Now would be a good time to go alien." Ben said.
"No need to tell me twice. You guys find Animo, I'll take on this mammoth!" She pressed the button and push the dial down, turning into the alien.
The alien is a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in natural blue armor plating on his back, shoulders, and the backs of his arms. She is covered in fur across the thickest parts of his body, while every other aspect except for her elbows and knees is short fur.
She has markings on her eyes that are upturned, similar to eyeliner. She has feminine lips, freckles, a hair clip on her left side, pink eyes, and a cat symbol-shaped Omnitrix on her chest.
Her skin is lavender, while her bolts and lips are purple. She has black markings on her torso, and her pelvis design is similar to a bikini.
(A/N: It's Gwen's version of Cannonbolt.)
Ben and Max jaw dropped by the appearance. "Wasn't going for Ricoshell, but this will do." She rolled herself into a ball and ramming it at the elephant.
She uppercuts the elephant using her body, moving it backwards. Then she grabbed the trunk of the elephant, pulling it down. As she continue fighting, Ben and Max followed Animo.
Ben and Max ran out of the mammoth exhibit, trying to find Animo. They came across the giant parrot, in their way. Ben looked around and plucks a spear from a caveman exhibit. He beats up the parrot, until it swung back at Ben.
"Aaahhh!" Max catch him from the swung.
The parrot run inside, leaving Ben with Max. "I thought I could do it."
Max grabbed on Ben's shoulder, "You did your best, Ben."
As they enter a new room, they see Animo, who smiles before shooting his beam at a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton. Skin forms and wraps around its bones; an eye lights up the previously bare socket. The T-Rex takes a step and roars a mighty roar at the two Tennysons.
Back at the mammoth exhibit, the mammoth throws Ricoshell into a wall, then proceeds to charge at her.
"I'm not giving up yet." She rolled herself into a ball, then charging at the mammoth. The mammoth gets backend by the impact, "Not yet!" She jumped and slammed down the mammoth while in ball mode.
She continue slamming the mammoth six times, and landed on her feet. She fell to the floor, not holding her balance. The mammoth gets back up and fail to noticed Ricoshell sent herself flying. The mammoth crashed into a wall, unconscious by the impact.
Ricoshell gets back up, feeling a headache. "Oh, my head." She rubbed her head before looking forward, "Better keep going. They might be in trouble." She turned into a ball again, and rolled to where Ben and Max are.
Meanwhile, Ben and Max dodges the tail of the T-Rex. Dr. Animo jumps on the T-Rex's back, riding it. "I'd love to stay, but I need to claim the award I so richly deserve." He drove the T-Rex to the wall, breaking it and leaving the museum.
Suddenly, they heard the giant parrot behind them. The parrot rushed towards Ben, scaring him. Ben covered his arms, preparing for the worst. Then Ricoshell came, just in time to pushed the parrot away.
Ben opened his eyes, and saw Ricoshell. "You're alright?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine."
Then the Omnitrix beeped, turning her back into Gwen. They heard the parrot groaning, hurting from Ricoshell's impact. "We should keep chasing Animo before it gets back up." The cousins agreed with Max, and they went back to the Rust Bucket.
Rust Bucket
09.23 PM
After they entered the Rust Bucket, Max drove to where Animo is headed.
"Are you sure we can catch up with Animo? He's riding a dinosaur."
"We might. Dinosaurs like the T-Rex can't keep up with something faster like a car." Gwen said.
"And I know where he might be headed." Max pulled something from his pocket, "Here, look at what Dr. Animo left behind." He gives the paper to Ben and Gwen.
It was a newspaper clipping with a headlines Dr. Kelly accepts Verities Award. They understand where Animo is headed, "He's gonna finally pick up on his award! We have to stop him!" Max nodded.
Suddenly, something hits the Rust Bucket and causes a shake, "What was that?"
Ben looks out the window, and saw the mutant parrot chasing them. "We got a parrot on our tails!"
Gwen then saw her watch had enough charged, "Good timing." She pressed the button, and turned the dial. She scroll through the silhouettes, while the parrot still hitting the Rust Bucket from behind.
"Gwen, now it would be good time to go Alien."
"Hold on, I'm working on it." After some turning, she slammed the Omnitrix, turning into Thornica.
Ben looked at the alien with confusion, "How is this supposed to work?"
"Just watch, doofus." Ben gave a 'Really?' look by the name.
Thornica opened the door, and swings away.
Washington DC
09.29 PM
Thornica swings up close and shoots the parrot with her thorns, "Come on, you overgrown size pigeon! I'm over here!" She shoot more thorns, before letting the parrot chasing her.
The parrot begins chasing her with frontal assault.
Thornica turned her back and saw the mutant parrot coming for her, 'Good, I got its attention. Now, for set up a trap.' She swing faster, forcing the parrot to fly faster. As she speed up her flight, so does the parrot.
She sending herself upwards, making the parrot also fly up. As she continue going upwards, the mutant begins getting closer and closer. As the parrot's getting closer, Thornica hits it with her Fruit Pods, blinding her sight. "I'm not bird food, you pigeon!" She dived down, diving at top speed.
As she diving down, the parrot started catching up on her. 'Almost, almost!' As she almost arrived at the ground, she swung little higher, heading towards a nearby alleyway. The parrot saw this, and tries to slow down, only to get its wings hit by the buildings.
Thornica saw the parrot was out for the count, "Good, time to find Animo." She quickly swing away, heading towards where Animo is headed.
She was watched by Max and Ben, who were near the battle takes place. Max was proud of how Gwen uses her brain for the fight, and Ben couldn't help but impressed by her way of thinking.
Washington DC, Kelly Industries
09.34 PM
At Kelly Industries, Kelly is leading a group of VIPs on a tour. "And here is my Verities Award." He showed them his award, "Of course, it was an honor just to be nominated with a distinguished group of scientists, ah-huh?"
Suddenly, Dr. Animo and T. Rex smash through a glass wall to invade to Dr. Kelly's company. Anime looked at Kelly, "Kelly! I believe you have something of mine!" He jumps down, grabbing the Verities Award. "I'd like to thank the committee for this honor."
The T. Rex roars, swiping its mouth towards Kelly, before Thornica rushes swoops him before damage can be done. But quickly get slapped by its tail.
She gets up, feeling a little headache. "Jeez, were these dinosaurs always been this hard?" She used her vines, saving Dr. Kelly from the T-Rex. She gently landed Dr. Kelly on the ground, "Quick, get everyone to safety!" He nodded before helping everyone get to safety.
Dr. Animo gritted his teeth at Butterfly, "You! What are you, you little pest?!"
"The name's Thornica, and you're going down!" Dr. Animo shoots the beam at Thornica, who dodges and throws her Fruit Pods. He was blinded by the smoke and got punched by Thornica, making him drop the award.
"No!" Thornica taps his shoulder, before stealing his device from him. "My transmodulator!"
She throws it to the ground, breaking it. The T. Rex de-animates back into bones, crumbling underneath him and plummeting him to the ground, "No…! No…! No!"
Washington DC
09.45 PM
As the parrot, getting up from the ground, it immediately shrinks back to normal. The parrot falls to the ground, feeling a little weak. Max inspect it wings and saw it was hurting from the crash, "We better get this bird to the vet."
Ben nodded, before heading towards the Rust Bucket with the injured parrot.
Washington DC, Kelly Industries
06.01 AM
"Let me go! I deserve that award! I've got it coming to me! I want it!" Gwen watches Animo rambling as he getting dragged by the police.
"Huh, that seems familiar." Gwen turned to the noise, and saw the Rust Bucket waiting for her.
Rust Bucket
06.13 AM
Ben and Gwen sits in their seats, with a box on the table. "I managed to get this from Dr. Animo. Seems to be broken from the fall right now." She puts it in the box. "So, how do you feel Ben?"
"Well, aside not getting a Sumo Slammer Card. All I have to say is… thanks." He saw Gwen was smirking. He sighed before saying, "Thank you for rescuing me, Gwen."
"That's better. Also, here." She pulled something from her pocket, and it was a Gold Sumo Slammer Card.
"No way!" He swiped it with stars in his eyes, "How did you-?!"
"I found it by the rubble. You can get to keep it." She said with a smile.
Ben couldn't help but give her a hug, "I change my mind. You can be the best cousin in the world!"
She giggled, "All right, I'll take it. But can you stop hugging me? It's getting awkward." His eyes widened, before stopped hugging her and looked into the window. Gwen grabbed the box, putting it in the cabinet by her bed.
In the driver's seat, Max smile at Ben and Gwen. 'I'm happy those two finally getting along.' He continue driving, leaving Washington DC.
...
Rust Bucket
10.13 PM
After Animo's rampage in Washington DC, the Tennysons arrived at the lake. Ben wanted to swim in the lake, but since he got hurt during the museum havoc, Max insisted it. After some talk, Ben got no choice but do what his grandpa says, and goes to sleep.
While everyone is sleeping, Gwen couldn't help herself but awake. "Geez, am I that awake?" She went to the fridge, to get something to drink. She gets a glass and carton of strawberry milk.
As she pouring it, she heard something. She ignored it, and continue pouring the milk.
Then she heard something again, she put the carton down and turned around. She heard her grandpa's snoring, making her sighed. 'It's just grandpa. Should've known.' Gwen drinks her milk, and puts everything back in place. After drinking, she went back to sleep.
Lake
10.15 PM
Outside, a strange shadow with tentacles was swimming around the lake. It making some noise, that only people that are close to it can hear it.
The shadow growled, and went deeper parts of the lake.
Lake
07.13 AM
The next morning, the three head out to the pier for a fishing trip. As they headed to the docks, Max couldn't help noticed that Gwen was yawning. "Gwen, are you alright?"
"Oh, I'm fine, grandpa. Just couldn't sleep last night." She rubbed her eyes, trying to keep herself awake.
"You know you could've sleep outside of the Rust Bucket, resting for the day." Ben pointed out.
"No need. I've got plenty of rest." Gwen told him.
As they arrived at the docks, Ben saw something at the bucket and smiled while looking at Gwen. Gwen looked at the sky, hoping for some sunlight comes out of the clouds. She turned around until she got startled by something, "Ah!" There were worms that Ben's holding.
"Breakfast?" He joked around while holding it.
"Eugh! Grandpa, are these baits?" She asked.
"That's right, Gwen." Max responded.
She sighed at Ben's pranks, "I'm trying to be nice here, Ben!"
"Come on, I couldn't pass up this opportunity!" Ben responded to her with an eager face. He puts the worms back into the bucket.
Max turned to the owner of the ship, "Captain Shaw?"
"Who wants to know?" An old fisherman comes out, responding to Max.
"I'm Max Tennyson. And these are my grandkids, Ben and Gwen." Ben waves, while Gwen nodded in greeting. "We chartered your boat today for a fishing trip." He said.
"Well what're you waiting for, an engraved invitation? Get aboard. I ain't got all day." Ben and Gwen got on board the ship, thought Max seems concerned by the captain's behavior.
The ships sail slowly, as the Ben and Gwen put on their life vest.
Max started a conversation, "Anything… interesting out there to catch today?"
"More than can you imagine…" The captain responded. He also saw Ben and Gwen were looking out on the boat. "Looks like your kids using their breakfast as a chum."
"Something wrong you two?" Max asked them.
"Nothing, grandpa. Just looking out for fish." Ben nodded, agreeing with her. "I thought it would forget some sounds I have been hearing last night."
"Sorry for my snore there, Gwen." Max apologized.
"It's alright. Probably some people who were fishing in the lake."
"Or better yet, the Krakken." The captain said, getting Ben's attention.
"There's a lake monster here?!" Ben excitingly asked.
"It's my business to know about it." He gives Ben a picture, of a tip of the monster. Gwen and Max were skeptical about the picture. "I've been on its tail for years. Folks says my rudder's not right."
"Why doesn't that surprise?"
"Sightings go back hundreds of years, on this very lake. Some say it's a myth... not me! I could take you to a spot where I personally laid eyes upon the beast. That is, if you've got the stomach for some real adventure!" Shaw said.
Max and Gwen looked at Ben, who was too eagerly. "Why not?" Ben proud that Gwen agrees with him.
"Sonar, high-def video setup, ultrasound. I got it all. And I will find it. Mark my words, it can't hide forever." Shaw said while driving the boat.
Max pulled Ben to where they could talk privately, "Ben, I don't want you to put too much stock in what mister Shaw says. I don't think he has both oars in the water, if you know what I mean."
"Why? Because he saw the Krakken?" Ben huff and walked the front of the ship. Gwen overhear the conversation, felt a little sad that Ben didn't trust in grandpa's words.
The ship floats by, Shaw at the helm paying attention to the sonar, as he comes up against a blockage of buoys and tape. Shaw reads the tape, "'Do not enter'? What's going on?"
The Tennysons looked at the tape, "Looks official. We should turn back!" Max told him.
"Nonsense, this is my lake and I'll go where ever I—"
"Fishing boat! Stop where you are." They heard a distant voice that's close to them. They saw another ship right beside them, "I am Jonah Melville, the founder of 'Friends of Fish", we've closed this section of the lake for an environmental study. You'll have to turn your boat around."
"'Suppose make me, fish-hugger?'" He said with a confrontational tone.
"Well, since I chartered the boat for the day, I believe I'm in charge. Isn't that right, Captain?"
Shaw grumbled before makes his way up to the boat. "Aw, man. I wish we could have seen the Krakken."
"At least you prank me before getting up on the boat." Gwen said, hoping that it would comfort him.
Ben smiled before patting her back, "Thanks, cous."
"No problem, dweeb."
As Shaw turned his boat passed 'Friends of Fish' boat, his sonar picked something up. "The sonar! We found something."
Ben and Gwen looked at waters and saw something, "Or something found us! Look!" Shaw walks out, sees a fin deep below the water.
"The Krakken!"
The fin passes under Shaw's boat, revealing its true size, and rocking the boat. "It's heading for the docks!"
The Krakken's fin rushing towards the docks at a high speed. Gwen saw the Krakken swimming fast and saw some people are in danger, "I better get going."
"Good luck." She nodded before jumping overboard. As she got out of the water, she pressed the button and turned the dial. She picked the alien with fish appearance, and slammed it.
As she's changing, she was Velocity instead. "Are you kidding me?! I didn't pick Velocity!" She saw the Krakken pulling the people to the water, "Well, it's better than nothing." She lower her visor, before rushing towards the docks.
Velocity runs on water, almost slipping. She managed reach the docks, and pulled the people back to land. As she pull the last one, she saw the lifeguard. "Get these people to safety." He nodded, before Velocity rushed back towards the water.
Jonah saw the Krakken heading towards them, "Get us out of here!" His crewmate tries to sail the boat away, but was stopped by the Krakken. It reared up against it and rocking the boat greatly. "Woah!"
Velocity arrived just in time to save them. She create water tornado by the Krakken, scaring it off. The Krakken swims to the front of the boat and tries to grab a crate off of it using its front tendrils. "No!" Jonah leaps, hanging onto the crate to stop it from being taken.
Velocity quickly jumps on the boat, helping Jonah. She grabbed the Krakken's tendril and dragging it backwards to prevent the crate from being moved. The monster knocks her backwards and tries again to get the box.
But Gwen roots herself on the ship's ground, and uses Velocity's fast-moving feet to kick the Krakken's jaw as it comes towards the ship. After being kicked in the underjaw, the Krakken reals backwards roaring and retreats. "Thanks for the hand, and the feet."
Velocity growled before pulling her visor up, "What's so important in that crate you would risk your life for?"
"It's… Um… Our lunch!"
She crossed her arms by the answer, "You almost got eaten alive for a crate of lunch?" The Krakken jumps out the water and grabs the crate while they're talking, bringing it back into the water. After it descends to the water, the Omnitrix started beeping. "Sorry, gotta go!"
She quickly got off the boat, running towards the fishing boat. "Almost there…!" The Omnitrix times out, turning her back into human. But she was still in Velocity's momentum, and getting skidded across the water's surface like a stone, landing right behind the ship.
"Missed it." Max and Ben spotted her from the ship.
"Woman overboard. Shaw, Gwen is overboard! Bring the boat around!" Shaw was about to shoot his harpoon, but know safety comes first.
"Next time, in my sights, you won't be so lucky." Shaw declared at the beast.
Lake
05.54 PM
After the Krakken's attack, the campers started packing up and leaving the lake as the sky started getting dark. The Tennysons were sitting by the campfire, as Gwen gets drying off. "Something doesn't seem right about here. Why did the Krakken wanted that crate in the first place?"
"Maybe that Jonah is keeping something that everyone doesn't want to know." Ben guessed.
"I don't know about that. But what I do know that Shaw guy is suspicious. I want you two to stay away from that guy for now. He's trouble." Max told them.
"You're just being stubborn." Gwen said.
"Didn't you started being stubborn after putting that on?" Max points the Omnitrix, recalling all the times that she had been transforming.
They saw Shaw walking by, grumbling over something. "…low-down no good fish kissers."
"Captain Shaw, is there something wrong?"
"The nerve of those 'enviro-punks'! They shut down the entire lake! Nobody tells me where to sail, and nobody's gonna keep me away from reeling in the catch of the century. Nobody!" Shaw walked to the pier, heading towards his ship.
Max noticed that Gwen heading towards the Rust Bucket, "You're warm enough?"
"Yeah, I am."
Lake
07.13 PM
At the pier, Shaw's ship sails back into the lake, looking for the Krakken.
Rust Bucket
07.25 PM
At the Rust Bucket, Ben was knocking on the toilet door. "Gwen, could you hurry up? I really need to go!"
Max saw Ben waiting at the toilet, and decides to check it out. He knocks on the door, but got no answer. He opened it, revealing that Gwen isn't there.
Lake
07.26 PM
Capt. Shaw sails the boat to where the Krakken was last seen, but hears cluttering behind him coming from under a tarp. "Hey! No stowaways on my boat, even if you are only a filthy rat!" He uncovers the tarp, revealing Gwen sitting there.
"Um? First mate Tennyson reporting for duty... sir?" Shaw sighed, knowing they had gone far from the docks.
Shaw puts on his dive-suit before looking at the lake. "She's probably been chased deep by our 'fishy friends'. Only one way to flush her out... with a little live bait."
"Is it safe to go alone? What if those guys came here?"
"If they came, hide. I don't want kids to be dragging into this." He puts on the helmet and packs up the harpoon gun, "Wish me luck." Gwen watches him diving. She looked at the Omnitrix, and saw it's still recharging.
She noticed a red dive-suit that was left on the ship. Gwen smile, knowing it would be useful.
Captain Shaw dives through the ocean. He gets startled, but reaches the Krakken's nest without incident. He saw an egg there, but no sign of the Krakken. Startling him again, Gwen jumps out towards him, almost getting shot with a harpoon.
Though, Shaw misses and breathes a sigh of relief, the two-staying unharmed. Shaw dives back up to the surface, seeing another boat alongside his. As he climbs up he's grabbed by a masked figure.
[Don't you know night diving is dangerous, old timer? Unless of course, you went with a friend.]
"I ain't got no friends. I work alone." Shaw lied to them while also saying the truth, hiding Gwen's presence.
[...and with a sparkling personality like yours?] Gwen pops up to the surface, seeing the confrontation.
"I haven't anything worth stealing either."
[Ah, but you have us all wrong. All we want is information. Like, what did you see down there?] The masked figure asked.
"Nothin'. Same as always." The masked figure punches Shaw to the ground, knocking him out.
He takes off the mask, revealing he's Jonah Melville. "Well… I have to be sure."
Gwen wasn't surprised to see Jonah there, "I knew something was suspicious about that guy." She looked at the Omnitrix, and saw it was still charging.
"Take 'Ahab' here with us. Find out if he knows anything back at the Cannery. We'll come back later with a mini-sub to snatch the rest of the eggs." He pulls a tracker, and throws it into the lake. "In the meantime," He pulls out an explosion, priming it. "his boat will be lost at sea."
Throwing the explosive over into Shaw's ship and sailing off, the ship exploding behind them. The debris falls onto Gwen, she dodging it and coming back up to the surface at a distance. Her watch was fully charged, and primes it. "Time to go hero."
At the ship, they were heading towards their hideout, until something shake the ship. "What the?" The ship shake again, causing the crew to fell down. Something jumped out of the water and it was big.
It was a humanoid alien that is ten feet tall. She has well-developed muscles, two pairs of four-fingered arms, and dark red skin.
She has four pink eyes: a main pair and a smaller pair below them, while he lacks ears or nose. She has short red hair with a hairclip. She has whisker-like spikes on each forearm. She wears clothes similar to Gwen with fingerless gloves on each hand. She wear the Omnitrix on her upper left shoulder. This was Quatrinity.
(A/N: It's Gwen's version of Four-Arms.)
The crew saw that she was in front of her, towering over them. "Where's the captain?" She asked Jonah about his location.
"C-Captain? I don't know that you're talking about." Behind her, two crewmates were sneaking behind her, readying their knifes.
"I saw you took out the ship. Now, where is he?"
"He might be closer than you think." The two of them stab her back, but it did nothing to her. The knifes were bent, and it scared them. The alien turned around and punches both of them.
She turned to Jonah, who was scared. She walked closer, panicking Jonah. "W-Wait, don't kill me! I have kids!"
"That's what all liars always said." As she about to punch him, she saw Shaw was by the control of the boat. She puts her hand down, and Jonah was relief. But he didn't expect a chop on his head, knocking him out.
Quatrinity grabs Shaw by the shoulder, and jumped off the ship. The other crews got up and saw Jonah on the floor, "J-Jonah!" One crew checked his pulse, and he was still alive. "Get us out of here!" He nodded, driving his ship to the hideout.
Quatrinity swims, with Shaw on his back. 'I better hurry! I can't let him drowned here.' She swim faster, hoping that she would make in time.
Lake
07.33 PM
By the Rust Bucket, Ben and Max were looking with the binoculars, searching for Gwen. "Any sign of her, Ben?"
"Not yet." Suddenly, he saw something jumped out of the water. It was Quatrinity with Shaw on his back.
"Almost there!" Then her watch times out, turning her back into Gwen. She begins screaming as he and an unconscious Shaw fall. The two land safely in the Rust Bucket's sun-shade.
Gwen take a breath after falling, "I hate it when that happens."
Rust Bucket
07.41 PM
Gwen explained everything to Ben and Max about what happened at the lake. "Wow, so there were eggs at the Krakken's nest?" Ben asked.
"Yup, and I found out who Jonah is. I did a little checking on "Friends of Fish" and found out it's not listed on any environmental website. Look at this…" She showed them her findings on her laptop, "Jonah Melville isn't a friend to any kind of wildlife, he travels around the world poaching rare animals. Then crates them up and sells them to private collectors." Gwen said.
"Oh, man! And I bet the crate that was on their boat, was Krakken's eggs all along." Ben tells them.
"Looks like we were both, a little too hard headed." Max said.
"Then we better stop them. They said something about going back to their cannery."
"All this talk doesn't change a thing. Mommy or not, that beast is mine. Let's go! I've got a spare boat down at the docks." The three Tennysons exchange glances before exiting the Rust Bucket and following Shawn.
Lake
07.35 PM
Back at the docks, Gwen just finish calling the police before leaving. "It'll take a while until the police can get here."
Shawn unties the boat and prepares to get on, but the boat speeds off without him. "What're you doing? Get back here!"
"Sorry, captain!" Ben apologized.
"You don't know what you're doing! A monster is a monster when I see one!" The boat speeds off, leaving Shaw clenching his fist in anger. He shines a lamp around, seeing a much less glamorous rowboat off to the side of the pier. He takes a long, unbroken glare at it.
Lake, Cannery
07.38 PM
A crane pulls up a submarine suit holding an egg out of the water, setting the submarine down on the dock. Jonah had the egg in tow and heading to the Cannery. He passed the egg to one of his crewmates.
"Careful! Or you'll be cleaning up the world's most expensive omelette." The crewmate dumps the egg in a cylinder glass container with another, before closing the lid. Jonah cradles the eggs through the container, "After we sell these babies to the highest bidder, we'll be kicking back on a beach in the Bahamas."
Below the Cannery, the Tennysons just arrived. They went to ladder, where it was an entrance. "You guys go find the eggs."
"Going hero?"
Gwen nodded in response, "Going hero." She pressed the button and turns the dial. She picked the one with fish appearance again and pressed it. The shares a number of traits with Earth's aquatic life, such as an alligator, an eel, a leech, an anglerfish, and a shark. Her body is mostly grey and had four-fingered hands.
She has pink eyes, long orange hair, orange fins, her antenna light is pink, blue claws, and blue lips. She wear a bikini on her chest, arm bands, and a belt in place of the strap that holds the Omnitrix symbol on it. This was Siren.
(A/N: This is Gwen's version of Ripjaws.)
She growled before diving into the water. Once she's underwater, she noticed the Krakken is coming. She move away, letting her resurface.
Back at the Cannery, the Krakken going through the deck and tries getting the eggs. Jonah smirked at this, "The bigger the Krakken, the bigger the payday." He went to his submarine pod as his crewmates opened fire on the Krakken.
Then one crewmate goes inside, while the other keeps shooting at the Krakken. The Krakken wasn't hurt by the bullets, as it's only bounce off its skin. It smacked the crewmate off and getting the egg out of the tank.
However, Jonah comes in and swiped it first with the crane. Opening fire, Jonah repositions himself, though stopping his firing. And then Siren the leaps out the lake and onto Jonah's machine's window, encompassing his view. "You want to mess with a mother? You have to go through me!"
Siren latches onto the right arm, removing the container from his hand. Jonah attempts to shoot her, but Siren took a bite from the gun and spit it out. The container remove from the hand and Siren jumps down to catch it.
She grabbed it, but Jonah comes in and punches her away. The container breaks on the floor, letting the eggs out and roll to the edge of a broken plank.
Inside the cannery, Max and Ben saw one of the crewmates grabbing a weapon. Max tries communicate Ben with sign language, but he doesn't understand what he's trying to say. Ben gasped, seeing another crewmate behind Max.
He pulls out the gun, pointing at both of them. Max covered Ben in protection, "All right, buddy. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way."
The crewmate smiles before walking towards the two menacingly, causing them to back up. Behind him the side wall breaks apart, the Krakken's fin coming through. "Go High!" Ben and Max jumps onto the cannery's hooks, sliding along them as the floor beneath, along with the crewmate, is swept away by the Krakken's fin.
The other crewmate comes out of corner and points the weapon at Max. But he was kicked in the face before he could do anything else. They jumps off the hooks, looking at the unconscious crewmate, "One of these days, you need to explain what were you doing." Ben tells him.
Max smiles, knowing Ben is still young to learn sign language.
Back outside, the Krakken and Jonah dived to get the eggs first. The Krakken managed to swipe it first and goes back into the lake, [My eggs!] Jonah tries chasing it, but tackled by Siren.
"Those aren't your eggs!" She dives down to the lake with Jonah right behind her.
Lake
07.49 PM
Once she's underwater, she tries to look for the Krakken. Siren then heard something behind her. She turned around and saw Jonah coming towards her. He punches her face, [Rescuing babies? Very heroic, but not smart.]
Jonah saw the eggs and heads over there. Siren regained her consciousness and then chasing Jonah by swimming faster. He managed to pick the eggs up, but Siren grabs onto his hands, trying to parrying it off. Jonah tries attacking her, but Siren dodges it and took a bite from it.
Then they heard something coming. They saw the Krakken coming for the eggs. The Krakken tackles both of them, releasing the eggs from Jonah's hands. Jonah attacks the Krakken with a sonic attack, hurting the creature's hearing and letting eggs off her hands. As he attempts attacking it, Siren quickly took out the weapon with a chomp.
She quickly went for the eggs, returning both of them to the Krakken's nest. Siren puts down the eggs with cautions. She saw the Krakken and swims away from her.
The Krakken looked at the eggs and saw there were unharmed. The creature heard Jonah coming in pursuit. It grabs Jonah and started breaking the sub machine with its tentacles. After breaking it, Jonah comes out and saw the Krakken in front of him. He pulls out a knife and tries stabbing it, but it broke by impact.
The Krakken attempts to eat him, but was stopped by Siren. Siren covers Jonah with her body, stopping the Krakken from eating him. The Krakken growled before returning to its nest. Siren turns to Jonah who was shrugging.
Siren frowned at Jonah before knocking him out with a punch. She grabs his body and hangs him onto one of the broken planks, "The police will put away you until they get you dry." She dives back into waters.
Back at the docks, Max and Ben look on from the lakeside, as a police boat was getting near Jonah. "Ha, 'good riddance to bad rubbish.'"
"Got one!" They saw Shaw coming back with Siren in his net, "I finally got me a Krakken! One of the eggs must've hatched. Imagine this trophy mounted on my wall."
The Omnitrix times out, letting Max out a smirk and Ben chuckled. "Heh, I think your 'catch of the day' isn't exactly as advertised." Shaw holds up his lantern to the net and saw Gwen in his net, as she peers through with a smirk.
Shaw was surprised to see her and couldn't help but shaking his head, "But I could've sworn…" Gwen turns to lake, happy to see the Krakken's eggs are safe and sound.

He commands his robot, [As you command.] He went to the screen, contacting three bounty hunters with similar silhouettes.
