"let me go, Let me go!" I demanded while beating against some kind of barrier. I was in my form Grey Matter, I was a frog-like alien no bigger than six inches. I had grey skin, big green eyes, and short black hair. I was dressed in a black romper with a green belt and green lines, and my gloves. I didn't have any problems with this form it was one of my favorites, but I couldn't change back. None of my tech was working and the omnitrix wasn't timing out.
"Grab the specimen." a deep voice said. I looked around in the darkness trying to find the source of the voice. "Whoa!?" I was grabbed in a strong grip and then strapped down to a table. "Hey, what are you doing?" I could hear my heart hammering against my ribcage, and it hurt. "Prepare for disection." another voice said. I felt my breath catch in my throat and my chest tighten, "D-Disection!?" I repeated. I felt fear grip me and started struggling, it was the only thing I could do.
There was a sudden buzz and I looked straight ahead of me. Positioned above me was a laser. It was powered on and three lasers made contact with my skin.
~~~~~~~~~
"AHHHHH, IT HURTS!!" I sat up from my bed gripping myself in a hug. I couldn't tell if my face was wet from sweat or tears and I hurt from where the lasers cut in my dream. I began taking shaking breaths and looked around the RV. I was alone, Bleep wasn't even around. I began to tremble, I pulled my knees up and curled into a ball.
I started to cry, not because I hurt, but because I was scared and frustrated. I had started having awful nightmares that left my body hurt and aching, then I would become fear-filled and paranoid. Some nights I would wake up and stare at the ceiling or out the window, too scared to let my guard down. Someday's I was so tired I couldn't even get out of bed
"Jen are you- huh!?" I turned my head to the side and saw Albedo staring at me. He rushed over and climbed onto my bunk with me. "Did you have another nightmare?" he asked, I opened my mouth to speak but all that came out was a choked sob. Albedo moved closer and wrapped his arms around me, "It was just a nightmare." he whispered. I hugged back and clutched Albedo's shirt, I wanted to nod in agreement, but I couldn't.
I stayed in Albedo's embrace for another fifteen minutes before we finally pulled away. Albedo gave me a soft smile and pet my hair, "You should get ready, Max said he was taking us to a water park today." he said. Albedo pretended to be happy, but I could see through his poker face. I didn't say anything though, I just nodded and went to change into my swimsuit.
Megawatt got ahold of my old swimsuit and destroyed it, so I was forced to buy a new one.I found it and quickly changed, with some assistance from a spatula. After I was changed I looked in the mirror, my new swimsuit was a two-piece. The top was light green with ruffles across the top and it had a white hem, the bottoms were a matching skirt. 'This is what I get for letting Gwen help me pick out a swimsuit.' I thought and grabbed a black T-shirt to cover the Omnitrix.
I put on my flip-flops then a thought crossed my mind. My nightmare flashed in my mind and I wasn't gonna have any of my tech on hand. I walked over to the cabinet by my bunk and opened it. Nested inside the cabinet was a wooden box that contained jewelry. After I was left without my tech due to a broken powerline I decide to make some backup tech. Small bracelets, rings, necklaces, etc all packed full of surprises, and it was all waterproof. I grabbed two matching bracelets and slipped one on either wrist.
I quickly put the box back in the cabinet and headed out. Everyone was waiting outside for me, "About time." Gwen said, I simply rolled my eyes and started walking through the parking lot to get to the water park.

I followed close behind Jen, I had noticed her recent attitude and behavior, everyone had. I thought it was something to do with one of her aliens or being electrocuted by a broken power line. I still thought something was off about that but Grandpa always stated that was the truth. I could only shrug the feeling off and keep moving forward.
Anyway, after Jen started talking about these nightmares she's started having I knew what was up. Grandpa said we needed to stay extra alert, so I was gonna do exactly that, also not let Jen leave my side. It's ironic of me to say that and the first thing I do is lose Jen in the water park.
"Where did she go?" I looked around and luckily spotted Albedo's hair. Jen and Albedo we're lounging by the wave pool by the Riptide Rapids zone. I sighed in relief and walked over taking the seat beside Jen. I started applying my sunscreen acting normal, "Aren't you two gonna get in the water?" I asked. Jen looked over at me, "Maybe in a minute." Jen said and leaned back in her seat. "I am not getting in a pool of human filth," Albedo stated and I rolled my eyes at him.
The three of us basked in the sun for a few more minutes before Jen finally stood up. "Hope I'm tall enough." I flowed Jen's gaze to one of the best water slides known to man. "You should be, let's go!" I grabbed Jen's hand and started leading her to the top of the water slide.
~~~~~~~~~
"I am too short." Jen was just an inch below the height limit for the ride. "Eh, you are close enough." the worker said and sent me and Jen forward. "That was lucky," Jen said, I nodded in agreement and we got in line with everyone else. I got on the slide and turned back to Jen, "See you at the bottom." I said and went down.
Jen pov
I waited for the worker to give me the ok, then I went down the slide. It was so fast and one of the best water slides of my entire life. "WAA-HOO!" I yelled before sliding into the wave pool where I was caught beneath a wave. The wave pushed me against the wall of the pool and I was blinded by a familiar green light through my T-shirt. I felt my body change and I surfaced as quickly as I could to see what I I turned into.
I breached the surface and pulled my hands up to examine my form. "I'm Grey Matter?" I questioned, the Omnitrix always shows the first form on the list, and it was not Grey Matter. I quickly started to climb out of the pool to go find Gwen, but a tingle went up my spine. I turned to look behind me and was met with a man, "Hello, my froggy friend." he said. "GWEN,...GWEN,... ALBEDO, !!" I cried hoping one of them would hear me. The man reached for me and I jumped away narrowly avoiding his grasp. "GWEN,...ALBEDO, !!" I screamed heading in their direction.
"Oh no you don't!" the man said and grabbed me. "AHHHH!" I screamed, "Let her go!" I looked up and saw Gwen and Albedo running toward us. The man gripped me tighter and started running. He stopped by a table and closed me up in a cooler and started running again. "GWEN, ALBEDO!!" I cried so they could follow the sound of my voice.
Albedo pov
I and Gwen chased after the man but Gwen stopped to get Max. I kept running after the man following the sound of Jen's voice. I followed to the parking lot but that was where I lost them. "Oh no, oh no no no no." I raced to the RV where Bleep was playing cards with Megawatt. "Jen, she has been taken, can you track her?" I asked, "She has been taken!?" Bleep cried and went to the front of the RV.
Max and Gwen entered the RV and they both looked out of breath. "Please tell us you are tracking her," Gwen said, Bleep despite being a robot turned to us with a sad eye. "I can't she wasn't wearing her gloves," Bleep said and I felt my heart drop.

I felt the cooler get set down and heard the man start talking. I was starting to feel hopeless, I should have timed out by now, and pressing the symbol wasn't working. "Need to wait for a good opportunity," I whispered and pulled my knees to my chest.
I felt the cooler get picked up again, then moments later I was dropped into a glass jar. I looked around my new surroundings, there was cheap alien merchandise all over the room. "Something tells me you have ALOT of friends," I said crossing my arms. The man laughed and sat in front of the Jar, "I won't need friends with the fame and fortune you're about to bring me." he said and took a picture of me.
"I have to send this to them," he said the left the room. "This is as good a time as any," I said and pressed a button on one of my bracelets, a small laser popped up and I started cutting the glass. "Come on, Come on," I whispered, the laser finished cutting and I pushed the glass circle out and jumped to freedom. I landed on the ground and felt a weight get lifted from my chest, "Alright, I'm free!" I cheered quietly and was followed up by the sound of purring.
Swallowing the lump in my throat I slowly turned and looked behind me. Standing behind me with a swaying tail was a cat, and he looked hungry. I didn't want time and started running, the cat started chasing me, but I was the smarter one here. I materialized steps and started running up to the air vents and quickly climbed inside. I closed the vent behind me and pressed a button on one of my bracelets. A blue screen appeared and I clicked on a file that brought up various contacts.

"This is bad, she should have been back by now. Why isn't she back, is there something wrong with the Omnitrix?" My mind was all over the place. "I'm not sure Gwen but Jen is smart, she will figure something out," Grandpa said, it didn't make me feel better, what if THEY got their hands on her?
I growled in annoyance, "Just let me track her!" I said and Grandpa gripped the wheel tight. "No, we can't risk that." I was getting really fed up with this, I was about to argue back but Bleep appeared in front of me. "Jen has sent her location," he said and showed us a map with a blinking red dot. Grandpa smiled, "Perfect," he stepped on the gas, and were on our way.
I turned my head and looked out the window. The eyes of my reflection were glowing bright pink and I shook my head, I needed to calm down.

I was climbing through the air vent hiding from my captor. "Where are you?" he roared from somewhere in the house. Like I was gonna tell him, I am not gonna taunt him and give away my position. Instead, I was gonna make my way to the kitchen and break out through the window. "Move quick, Move quick, Move quick." I quietly repeated until I jumped from the air vent and landed on the kitchen counter.
I ran over to the window and took a breath, then held my hands out to my side. "Mech fists," I said and my bracelets lit up blue followed by a whirling sound. Giant mech fists formed in the air beside me. I jumped at the window and punched, the mech fists made contact and shattered the window.
"NOOOO!!" I jumped out the window and turned on the camouflage mode. I became invisible and moved across the grass to the sidewalk. I was about to run down the sidewalk to safety but a strong hand gripped me. "AGH!!" I turned to face the person holding me and it felt like my heart stopped. I had seen these men before, in my nightmares. "S-Stay away from me!" I cried and began to struggle in the man's grasp.
"Hmph, nice to see you again too." the man said then threw me in a holding box. My bracelets broke due to the force of impact and fell out of the box "NO, LET ME OUT!!" I cried. The man threw the box in their strange car and we started driving to an unknown destination.

I stopped the RV and my heart sank, it was the Organization. I could see Jen in a holding box, "Grandpa, we can't let them take her for a second time." Gwen said standing up. "Gwen wait!" Gwen ignored me and flew after the car as it drive away. I had no choice but to follow the pink mana trail my granddaughter left behind.
I pressed the gas pedal to the floor and left a trail of dust. We needed to get Jen before it was too late. I wasn't sure we would be as lucky as we were last time.

My heart was hammering against my ribcage and I was close to hyperventilating. We had been driving close to an hour and these guys hadn't said a thing. I wanted to say something but my voice wouldn't come out in anything other than a whine. "Hmph, still just a scared little girl." one of the men said and I became confused, why did he say that? "Why did you say it like that?" I asked barely above a whisper.
The man hummed, "Oh, so you don't remember us?" he asked, I shook my head, "I don't even know you." I said and the men started to laugh. "Oh, but you do." another man said, the car then stopped. One of the men grabbed the box holding me and exited the car. We were at a castle-like fortress with many guards.
The man started walking and took me into the fortress. We walked down long halls, passed many rooms, and every bit made my stomach twist into knots. "Are you beginning to remember?" the man asked, I was starting to get more annoyed than scared. "No, I don't recognize any of this, I have never been here before!" I yelled, the man simply scoffed and we entered a room.
The room was an office with a man sitting behind a desk. The man was dressed like a knight and he had a gold mask. "We have returned." the man carrying me said and set me down on the desk. "Well, long time no see, Jen. How have you been?" the man behind the desk asked with venom dripping from every word.
I scooted back against the barrier, "How do you know my name." I asked, my voice cracked showing my fear. The man behind the desk growled, "You dare act like you don't know me! You are the reason I have to wear this mask you alien brat!!" he roared in anger. I made a noise of fear and curled in a ball hoping this was a bad dream. The man growled more, "Continue where we left off." he hissed. "Yes sir," the other man said and I was picked up again.
I uncurled and let tears stream from my big green eyes. "What is happening?" I asked, but there was no answer. I was passed off to a man in a hazmat suit and carried into a dark room. There was a device in the room, it was the same one from my dream. My tears started flowing harder, it wasn't just a dream.
Albedo pov
I followed Max as we crept across the lawn of the fortress. Gwen was nowhere in sight so I could only assume she was already inside. "Up this way." I was pulled from my thoughts by Max. He was pointing up the tree we were hiding by and I nodded. We started climbing, then walked across a branch to get onto the fortress wall. "We have to jump," Max said but a pink energy path appeared before us. We looked over to the wall, Gwen was the one creating the path. I didn't say anything and hurried across.
I didn't stick around to discuss a plan, I already had one. I knew about Jen's jewelry tech and helped myself to a piece of it. I grabbed a silver necklace with a red glass jewel in the center. "Thermal scan," I said as I ran along the fortress wall. A map was suddenly pulled up showing every thermal signature, due to Jen being in her galvan form she was easy to find. I grit my teeth and run as fast as I could, I had to save her.
I turned on the camouflage mode and ran into the fortress. I was met with the sound of screaming and followed it to the source. I followed it to a door that needed a key code, "Hmm, no time for hacking. Mega blaster." I said and a giant gun materialized in my hands. I am and blasted the door to pieces. I enter the room and heat rose in my chest.
Jen was strapped to a table with a laser cutting her arm. I grit my teeth and fire at the man working the machine, good thing Jen programmed these weapons to stun people. I let the gun digitize and rushed over and shut off the laser. I freed Jen and held her in my hands, she was hurt badly. I held Jen to my chest and started running and I didn't stop until I was outside.
I fell to my knees and looked at Jen, she was shaking and crying. I used my finger and brushed a tiny strand of her hair aside, "Jen, everything is ok now, I got you." I said and Jen opened her eyes to look at me. No words were spoken between us until the Omnitix began to beep. With a bright flash, Jen returned to her human form and fell into me. Jen was still in her swimsuit and T-shirt, and she began to shiver "Take me back to the RV," Jen said, I nodded and picked her up bridal style.
~~~~~~~~~
I entered the RV and carried Jen to the back and laid her on my bed. I ran to a cabinet and pulled out a first aid kit and removed Jen's shirt. There was a sizable scar from the laser and a need for stitches. I began to patch Jen up and silence fell over us.
After I finished tending to Jen's wound she gripped my arm tightly. "Don't let them near me." I looked at Jen in confusion. I knew who she was talking about, "Jen, they're gonna-" "Please!" Jen gripped my arm tighter. I saw tears begin to stream down her face and I nodded. Jen gave a faint nod and then lay down, I stared at her for a moment before laying down beside her. Jen snuggled close to me and my face started to burn. I wrapped an arm around Jen tightly, I needed to put in serious overtime on the communicator. I needed to get Jen off of earth and away from the Tennyson's
