Chapter 14: Ben 10 Returns:

Jack's POV:

We were camping in the woods. Peter was telling us the story of Yamamba.

"...and Moshimo and Miumiu were never seen again," says Peter.

"There is no such thing as Yamamba," says Jill.

"That is what we once said about Aku," I said.

"Fair point," says Jill.

Then we heard a rustling in the trees. I was prepared to fight. It was a large creature that lacked eyes. It was orange and had these fangs. I was standing my guard until I saw a familiar looking symbol on its shoulder. "Ben," I asked.

The creature then turned into my young friend, Ben Tennyson aka Ben 10.

"S'up Jack," asks Ben.

Singer: It started when an alien device did what it did
And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid
Now he's got superpowers, he's no ordinary kid
He's Ben 10 (Chorus: Ben 10)

So, if you see him, you might be in for a big surprise
He'll turn into an alien before your very eyes
He's slimy, creepy, fast and strong, he's every shape and size
He's Ben 10 (Chorus: Ben 10)

Armed with powers, he's on the case
Fighting off evil from Earth or space
He'll never stop 'till he makes them pay
'Cause he's the baddest kid to ever save the day
Ben 10! (Chorus: Ben 10! B-B-B-Ben! B-B-Ben!)

"So, this is the famous Ben 10," asks Jill.

"It is a pleasure to meet you," says Peter.

"I am glad to see you, my friend," says Jack, "buy why are you here?"

"I'm looking for a guy who might know where my Grandpa is," says Ben, "a dude named Dr. Animo."

"Dr. Animal," asks Peter, "is his first name Party?" Peter has heard the term party animal.

"I guess I got lost," says Ben, "I thought Wildmutt could help me find him."

"Mildbutt," asks Jill.

"Wildmutt," says Ben, "I've been coming up with names for my aliens."

"We will help you find this Dr. Animo," I said.

. . .

We started searching the woods, but then we were attacked by these strange monsters.

"I do not think they are aliens," says Jill.

"They have to be yokai," says Peter, "they attack us because they believe we are intruders!"

I then fought them off. They each resembled a different animal.

"Can you not help him," asks Jill.

"Not when the watch is red," says Ben, "red means stop!"

"I am just going to assume that is a future reference," says Peter.

"Hey, it's green now," says Ben. He then activates it and turns to this diamond creature. "Get ready for Diamondhead!"

Diamondhead's hands can turn into swords. Together, we fought the monsters and scared them off. Ben then turns back to normal. "That watch is very useful," I said.

"It's also water proof," says Ben, "I learned that when I fell in a puddle."

"Machines are not normally water proof," asks Peter.

"I see smoke," I said, "we must be getting close!"

. . .

We found an old house. There was a man sitting in a rocking chair. He had green skin and long white hair.

"Dr. Animo," asks Ben.

"That is me," says Dr. Animo.

. . .

He took us inside. He had an interesting decore. It looked like how Johnny describes the interior of a horror movie.

"Doctor," says Ben, "I'm Ben Tennyson and I'm looking for my Grandpa, Max Tennyson."

"Ah, I know a Max," says Dr. Animo, "I might know where he is."

"There is something odd about this man," says Jill.

"Besides the fact that his couch looks like it has fangs," asks Peter.

"That's an interesting watch," says Dr. Animo.

"Uhh... I got it... at the Mall," says Ben.

"That's nice," says Dr. Animo, "here, have some tea."

"I'm not really big on tea," says Ben.

"I insist," says Dr. Animo.

We then each took a sip and... everything went black.

. . .

I woke up and we were surrounded by the monsters we met earlier.

"You made these things," I said.

"They are my experiments," says Dr. Animo as he appears, "by altering the DNA of the animals of this forest, I have created the perfect creatures!"

"You mess with nature," I said.

"I improve nature," says Dr. Animo, "I have been looking for the Omnitrix for a long time!" Ben's watch! "That old fool, Max Tennyson tried to hide it from me, but then that big blowhard, Aku took it before I could take my chance! And luck is on my side now! A boy at the age of ten has it and brought it to me!"

"Where are Ben, Jill, and Peter," I asked.

Dr. Animo then reveals Ben with his arm attached to a strange machine. "As for your friends..." says Dr. Animo. Jill and Peter looked like horrific versions of the fire creature and Wildmutt.

"You're a mad man," I said.

"You know," says Dr. Animo, "Aku is paying alot for your demise." Dr. Animo then releases Jill and Peter and they walk towards me. I managed to escape my confinds, but I didn't have my sword. I then realised the mutant beaver has it.

Jill and Peter then tried to attack me, but I dodged. Somehow, I must fight my friends to save them, but I must do it without hurting them. Things would be alot easier if Aku sent me to the Future alone. I kept dodging their attacks. I then jumped to the beaver and took my sword back. I then used my sword to free Ben. "Thanks," says Ben. He then activates his watch and turns to this insect creature. "Time for Stinkfly!"

We then tried to tame Jill and Peter.

"Fools," says Dr. Animo, "you cannot hope to defeat the genius of Dr. Animo!"

"This guy's like a B-Movie," says Ben.

"I do not know what that is," I said, "but you might be right."

We then defeated the mutants and managed to tame Jill and Peter. Dr. Animo tried to get away, but Stinkfly stopped him.

. . .

There was still one matter.

"What are we gonna do," asks Ben, back in his true form, "no offense, but your friends are... well, look at them."

Then a strange beam blasted them, turning them back to normal.

"What was that," I asked.

"That was me. My name is Wes Green." Mr. Green then looks at Ben. "Ben Tennyson?"

"Yeah," asks Ben.

"I'm a friend of your Grandfather's. I can help you find him."

"Should I trust him," asks Ben.

I then closed my eyes. "I can feel it," I said, "go with him."

Ben then walks with Mr. Green. "I hope you don't mind meeting my granddaughter," says Mr. Green.

I hope Ben does find his Grandfather. I also hope to meet him. Maybe someday.
