Hey, guys! Welcome to the new chapter of Alien Force Unite! I hope that you guys will enjoy the new chapter...anyway, I don't own anything except for my OCs, and the OCs Rook Shadow, Rook Knight, Rook Luna, and Chilly belong entirely to 9655 as the alien predator forms Protostarfish and Mucustodon, and the Ultimate Alien Forms Ultimate Diamondhead and Ultimate Armodrillo belonged entirely to RZGmon200, who gave me permission to use them after I asked for permission.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

{Episode 18: Grounded!}

"Ben is such a good kid, isn't he?" A smiling woman says as we see her and her husband driving down the road in their minivan through the streets of Bellwood with happy smiles on their faces.

Sitting before us is a 5'8-feet-tall, 35-year-old Woman with pale green eyes, wavy and poofy blonde hair that reaches past her shoulders, thin black eyebrows, a small nose, a sharp chin, E-Cup Breasts, Fair Skin, a tall slender build, a big perky ass, and her outfit consists of a pair of green earrings, a long-sleeved green sweater with a white collar and cuffs, long capris pants, and a pair of white flats. Her name is Sandra Tennyson, Carl's Wife, and Ben's Mother.

Sitting before us is a 6'2-feet-tall, 36-year-old Man with brown eyes, short spiky brown hair, thick black eyebrows, a small nose, a sharp chin, Fair Skin, a tall slim build, and his outfit consists of a long-sleeved green polo shirt, a brown belt with a golden belt buckle, long khaki pants, and a pair of brown shoes. His name is Carl Tennyson, Sandra's Husband, and Ben's Father.

"Ben Tennyson is not a good kid...he's a great kid!" A smiling Carl says as he beamed. "I mean, let's look at the facts here. Ben is a respectful and polite boy who helps out around the house, is doing great in school, has tons of friends, and even has his very own girlfriend."

"Oh, and she is so cute and treats our son very well. It's why I'm so glad that Vanessa agreed to come visit our home for a small dinner. I just wish that Vanessa would have her parents come too, so that we can finally meet them." A pouting Sandra says as Carl laughs amusedly.

"Come on, Sandra, Ben told us that he wants to play it slow with Vanessa, so let's respect their wishes. Anyway, I don't know if it's bad karma to pat ourselves on the back, Sandra, but we've done a pretty good job as parents, right?"

"Well, we haven't stifled him. Allowing our child to explore the wholeness of his entire being-," Sandra says before a huge explosion occurs in front of them as Carl's Wife gasps in shock and fear as she pulls the van over to the side of the road and puts it in park as she and her husband then got out of the vehicle as they were stunned to see a Highbreed Commander stepping out of the inferno and crater made on the ground as he turned to glare at them angrily and was planning to attack them, only for a bunch of mana blasts and random objects to be thrown at him by Team Alien Force, but Ben's Parents weren't able to see due to them being in another street as Carl quickly took Sanda's hand and they were about to run away, only to notice two figures rushing towards the Highbreed Commander with determined glares on their faces.

"Hey, kids! You're going the wrong...huh?!" Carl screamed before he and Sandra did a double take as they noticed that the kids running towards the big scary alien were really their son and his girlfriend.

"Ben! Vanessa! Stop!" Sandra shouted worriedly before she was pulled into a nearby alleyway by her husband when a stray boulder nearly hit them as they poked their heads out and spotted the Highbreed Commander throwing a car at Team Alien Force, forcing them to duck out of the way as the lovebirds shared a look and nodded as they activated their Omnitrix and Zennatrix.

"It's Hero Time!" Ben exclaimed with a grin while slamming his hand down on his Omnitrix, and a flash of green light rang out as, once it died down, we see that he transformed himself into-

"Swampfire!" Swampfire screamed as he struck a heroic pose.

"It's Time To Alien Up!" Vanessa shouted while slamming her hand down on her Zennatrix, and a flash of purple light rang out as, once it died down, we see that she transformed herself into-

"Slapback!" Slapback yelled while swiftly leaping backwards onto her back, and multiple flashes of purple light occurred as we see her duplicating herself up to five as Carl and Sandra looked absolutely stunned by what they saw.

"I grow weary of your pathetic human interference," The Highbreed Commander says with a glare while going over to grab a random streetlight and yanking it out of the ground as he was about to try and bring it down on them, only for it to be melted down into hot steel goo by an incoming fireball as the Highbreed Commander whirled around and spotted a smirking Swampfire holding out his smoking hand as all of the grinning Slapbacks leaped over towards him.

"And we..."

"...are..."

"...weary...

"...of always..."

"...kicking your ass!" All of the Slapbacks say while tackling him into the ground hard enough that a big crater forms around them as Swampfire turns to Team Alien Force.

"You guys okay?"

"That's...Ben and Vanessa?!" A shocked Carl asked as Kevin nodded to Ben.

"Nice to see you guys. Were you two busy making out or something?"

"You could say that..." A blushing Swampfire says as he and Vanessa were at Vanessa's Apartment, planning to finally go all the way with each other, only for Gwen to call them about an alien emergency as they are forced to put on their clothes and run off.

"Kids! Look out!" Sandra shouted concernedly just as the Highbreed Commander was able to surprisingly push all of the Slapbacks off his chest as they crashed down onto the ground.

"What? Surprised by the augmented power of my new form?" The Highbreed Commander asked with a smug tone as all of the Slapbacks blinked in surprise and shared a sly grin as they all chuckled.

"Yep..."

"...pretty much..."

"...but you are in..."

"...for a big surprise..."

"...soon." All of the Slapbacks said in unison while pointing ahead as the Highbreed Commander whirled around, and was surprised to see a glaring Shadow heading towards him at high speeds in his latest Animatrix Alien Form.

Standing before them is a 5-foot-tall Male Palava Viisikulmios as he resembles a large black/red starfish alien creature with multiple red pupilless eyes on his appendages and a large silver mouth planted on the top as he has the Animatrix Symbol planted below it. His name is-

"Protostarfish!" The Now-Named Protostarfish exclaimed through the communication system placed inside of the Animatrix Symbol as it beeped red every time he talked and leaped up into the air as a glaring Highbreed Commander reacted quickly and raised his left arm as he fired multiple explosive claw darts at him, but that ended up being a bad idea as Shadow was ripped apart into a billion pieces and proceeds to regenerate himself while having his extra body parts duplicate into mini versions of himself as they all collided against the Highbreed Commander and said person screamed in pain as the lower part of his body produces temperatures so high that they began burning him violently.

"Team Alien Force! Attack!" Swampfire ordered while raising his arms to fire dual big streams of hot green flames as Gwen raised her glowing blue mystic hands and chanted a spell under her breath as she fired a big stream of blue flames, Knight raised her mana-covered hands and fired a big beam of mana-pink energy, and a concrete-armored Kevin ran over to grab a bus as he used his superhuman strength to toss it forward and a worried Highbreed Commander tried to run away to safety, only for four of the Slapback Duplicates to leap over to land on his limbs to restrain him just as the Main Protostarfish then jumped up into the air as he slammed his tentacle into his Animatrix Symbol and Quick Changed back into his Normal Form as he then activated his Xennotrix and slammed his hand down on it as a flash of purple light rang out.

Once the flash of purple light died down, we see that Rook Shadow has transformed himself into a Male Evolved Petrosapien as he is now 12 feet tall and resembles a silicon-based alien creature with a sharp spiky head as he has pupilless purple eyes that have jewel-like facets as his body is made of super-hard durable red/black diamond-like material, no nose, a large chiseled spiky chin, four retractable large red/black crystal shards located on his upper and lower back, a pair of crystal hands with four long sharp claws and three red crystals on his arms, a tall muscular built, a pair of large toeless feet, and his outfit consisted of an opened red/black spikey jacket, long purple pants and a pair of spiky red/black diamond boots as he has the Ultimate Xennotrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

"Ultimate Diamondhead!" The Now-Named Ultimate Diamondhead exclaimed while lowering his arms and firing dual beams of red/black energy that collided against the Highbreed Commander as the energy beam converted into red/black crystals that trapped a shocked Highbreed Commander inside and all of Team Alien Force's attacks collided against him as a big explosion occurred and a big crater was formed as Carl and Sanda gasped worriedly as Ben and the others walked up to the large fiery crater as the heavily injured Highbreed Commander suddenly burst out of the rubble with the help of his wings as he glared down at them venomously.

"You've already wasted far too much of my valuable time! I'll deal with you at my leisure!" The Highbreed Commander screamed while flying off as Team Alien Force watched him go angrily.

"Well, he looks like he's heading towards the waterfront." Ultimate Diamondhead commented as Knight nodded.

"And he looked like a man on a mission too,"

"Okay, here's the plan, Ben and I will meet up with you guys at the wharf after we finish our dinner with Ben's Parents," Slapback says as she has already fused with her clones to become one again.

"Should I floss too?" Kevin asked with a joking tone as the gang laughed a bit.

"So, what excuse are you going to use against them this time?" Gwen asked curiously as Shadow raised an eyebrow confusedly.

"Excuse?"

"My Parents don't know about my Omnitrix or me being a hero in general," Swampfire explained as he shrugged. "I mean, they know about the Plumbers and the existence of Aliens, but I don't want to burden them with the knowledge of the Omnitrix."

"Are you really sure that's a great idea?" Knight asked concernedly as Ben grinned.

"Don't worry, I'm planning to tell them when I'm 18-years-old. For now, it's best for me to pretend to be a normal teenager for them." Swampfire says as we then fast forward in time and we see the lovebirds arriving at the Tennyson House in their Human Forms as Ben opens the door for Vanessa, and they walk into the house. "Mom, Dad, I'm home with Vanessa."

"What's for dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Tennyson?" Vanessa asked with a warm tone as they walked into the living room and spotted Sandra and Carl standing before them with their arms crossed.

"Where have you been, young man and young lady?" Sandra asked sternly as Ben and Vanessa shared bewildered looks.

"Uh, we were at the movies. I know that I should've told you. It was just a last-minute kind of thing." Ben says apologetically as Vanessa nods.

"Yeah, but we're here now and we are mighty hungry-,"

"Save it, kids. You don't have to keep lying to us. We know that you two were in a fight with a giant alien creature." A glaring Carl says, surprising Ben and Vanessa as they went wide-eyed in worry and shock.

"I can't believe it! You look us straight in the eye and lie to us over and over again!" An angry Sandra says with Ben wincing as Vanessa looks on awkwardly.

"We saw you guys! We saw you two turn into those things! You two are those weird and elusive aliens that have been appearing around Bellwood for about five years now!"

"To be fair, I've only had my Zennatrix for about nearly a year or so," Vanessa says with a sheepish giggle as Carl and Sandra narrow their eyes angrily, and Ben sighs somberly as he steps forward.

"Okay, let me explain everything," Ben says as we then fast forward in time and we see him and Vanessa sitting on the couch with Carl and Sandra looming over them as their son explains nearly everything that happened after getting the Omnitrix while Van tells them a little bit of her backstory. "...which allows us to access the genetic code of about 10,000 extraterrestrial life forms in order to battle the DNAliens, who will stop at nothing in their quest to conquer the Earth."

"And this became your job when exactly?" Carl asked with crossed arms as Ben sighed heavily and reached behind him to pull out his phone as he showed them a picture of himself, Gwen, and Grandpa Max on their first day during their summer road trip as Ben pointed over at his Omnitrix.

"Five years ago when I first went on that summer road trip with Grandpa Max and Gwen. Remember how I told you how I got the Omnitrix? It happened on the first day of that summer road trip."

"Aha, I knew that watch looked too weird to be anything earthly, but why does your Omni Whatever look so different?" Sandra asked confusedly while pointing over at the Classic Omnitrix as Ben sighed.

"It's because I took off the Omnitrix when I was 12 years old, I hadn't used it in about three years, so when I put it on again, it recalibrated and locked away all of my 35 Classic Aliens."

"35?! How many aliens do you two have now?!" An exasperated Sandra asked as Ben and Vanessa shared sheepish looks.

"23 currently."

"18 currently," Vanessa says with an awkward smile as she places her hands on her lap. "I found my Zennatrix in Green Hill about nearly a year ago."

"Look, when I first got my Omnitrix, Grandpa Max said that I had a responsibility to-,"

"Oh, of course! Dad! I should've known! That's so typical." An annoyed Carl says as Ben frowns worriedly.

"But, Dad-,"

"No, buts, Son. He lied to your Uncle Frank and me for years and only told us about his and Mom's true selves when we were 18. They were lying to us this whole time and I don't want you to lie to us too."

"It's our own fault, Carl. We were too permissive, and what did we get? A 15-year-old son needlessly risking his life with his 15-year-old girlfriend."

"Whoa, whoa, wait, Mrs. Tennyson. We weren't risking our lives needlessly. It had to be us." Vanessa says with a firm tone as Ben nods.

"Yeah, the Omnitrix and Zennatrix don't come off." Ben lied through his teeth as he knows how to take off the Omnitrix and even taught Vanessa how to take off her Zennatrix, but neither of them was willing to tell the truth to the adults, or else they would lose their Omnitrix and Zennatrix forever.

"Don't try to lie to us, Son. You just told us earlier that you were able to take off your Omnitrix when you were 12, so how did you do it?" Sandra asked with a glare as Ben sweated nervously.

"Uh, I don't know, only the creators of the Omnitrix and the Zennatrix know how to take it off." Ben lied.

"Well, where are they?" Carl asked as Vanessa pointed upwards.

"In space on an alien planet placed lightyears away from Earth. If you guys really want to meet the creators of the Omnitrix and the Zennatrix, that will be a bit of a problem because we don't have a spaceship to get there nor any way for us to communicate with them." Vanessa lied as, while they didn't have a spaceship, they could definitely call either Azmuth or Zennith right now with their Omnitrix and Zennatrix with extreme ease, but they wisely kept their mouths shut.

"So, we're sorry to say but without either Azmuth or Zennith, there's no force in this planet that can take off our Omnitrix and Zennatrix," Ben says with a fake apologetic look as Carl narrows his eyes angrily.

"Oh, really? Let's see about that. They're coming off, alright." Carl stated determinedly as we fast forward in time and we see the lovebirds sitting on a chair in the Tennyson Garage, bored out of their minds as they held out their Omnitrix and Zennatrix Arms as the duo allowed Carl to try and take off their alien devices, but failed miserably as a pile of ruined blades and tools can be seen laying in the corner as a grunting Carl can be seen trying to use a pair of pliers to remove Van's Zennatrix, only ruining that one as well as he huffed in annoyance. "Okay. They're not coming off,"

"We tried to tell you," Ben says with a lazy shrug as Carl leans over to examine the alien devices and notices that they are completely undamaged as they glow brightly.

"Not even a scratch! How powerful are these things?!"

"Well, Azmuth and Zennith said that they can resist the destruction of an entire Universe, and possibly a Multiverse, but they are not quite sure if that is true or not." Vanessa says with a sheepish grin as she then gives him an apologetic look. "I'm sorry about your saw blades, Mr. Tennyson."

"Well, in any case, you two are forbidden from using your alien devices, understand?" A glaring Carl asked as the lovebirds did a double take at this in shock and worry.

"What?!"

"But, Dad! You can't!" An anxious Ben yelled as Vanessa nodded in agreement.

"All of humanity is counting on us to-,"

"Understand?" Carl repeated with an even sterner tone as Ben and Vanessa shared a look and sighed heavily as they nodded, and Carl turned around to walk out of the garage as we cue over to the Bellwood Wharf, and we see Team Alien Force standing inside a random roof in the docks with Kevin and Knight keeping guard while standing near the doorway as Gwen can be seen looking up some information on the computer and Shadow walked over to her as he lowered his Xennotrix.

"Ben said that he and Vanessa will call back,"

"Guys, take a look at this," Gwen says while gesturing to the files and a list of freights on the computer as Team Alien Force walked over to her curiously. "The logbooks show all these freighters as frequent visitors, bringing out goods and shipping in local products."

"So?" Knight asked with a raised eyebrow as Gwen rolled her eyes with a scoff.

"So this ship that we've stationed by is an unregistered tanker from the island of Castoon,"

"Where they used to do nuclear testing," Kevin says with a surprised gasp as Team Alien Force gives him odd looks. "It was on the History Channel!"

"What would Bellwood be importing from Castoon?" A bewildered Shadow asked as Knight nodded in agreement.

"And if it is connected to the Highbreed, what would the DNAliens want with it?" Knight asked.

"I don't know. Ask them," Kevin said casually while gesturing to the left as Team Alien Force was surprised to see a group of DNaliens rushing towards them, and Kevin was quick to reach into his Material Bag to pull out a steel ball as he absorbed it, covering himself in steel armor as Gwen and Knight's eyes and hands glowed with pink mana energy as we cue back to the lovebirds and we see Ben and Vanessa having an awkward and tense dinner with Ben's parents as the Zennotrix Wielder felt her phone vibrate and reached into her pocket to pull it out as she saw that it was a text from Knight and it says, 'Hey, Van, sorry to both your and your BF, but we have a problem'.

"..." A silent Vanessa nudged Ben to get his attention and held out her phone so that he could see their conversation as Van texted back, 'You think you got problems? Ben's Parents found out about the Omnitrix and the Zennatrix and said that we're not allowed to use either of them under any circumstances' as Knight answered, 'I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT BEN'S STUPID PARENTS THINK! COME AND HELP US OUT, YOU JACKASSES!', and she sent a photo of Gwen and Shadow, who was in a new alien form, standing back to back and shooting out big beams of mana energy and a big stream of hot flames as Kevin was punching multiple DNAliens left and right.

We now see that Rook Shadow has now transformed into a 6'2-feet-tall Male Pyronite as he has a dark purple humanoid fire-based form with his body being composed of a super hot inner plasma that was covered by black volcanic rocks, a large rock-like faceplate with pure white eyes, small cracks on his faceplate, large shoulder-length fiery purple 'hair', a tongue that was made out of fire, a pair of large muscular oversized hands/forearms, a tall muscular slender build, a pair of slight oval-like designed feet with only two toes and one back toe, and his whole body was radiating with extreme heat as his Xennotrix Symbol was planted on his chest. His name is Heatblast.

"..." Vanessa and Ben shared a worried look as the blue-haired girl texted, 'Okay, we're coming'.

"No phones at the table, Vanessa." Sandra scolded as Vanessa turned to give her a nervous smile.

"Sorry about that, Mrs. Tennyson, but my Mom just texted me and told me that it's time that I come home."

"Yeah, so why don't I take her back home?" Ben suggested while he and Van got up from the floor as Carl frowned but nodded.

"Alright, but make sure to come back soon, son," Carl ordered as Ben nodded, and the Omnitrix Wielder and the Zennatrix Wielder made their way out of the Tennyson Home and went over to run into the backyard as they then looked around to make sure that there was no one around to see them.

"Going Hero!" Ben shouted while activating his Omnitrix and slammed his hand down on it as a flash of green light rang out, and we see him transforming himself into-

"Echo Echo!" Echo Echo exclaimed as he struck a heroic pose.

"Alien Up!" Vanessa yelled while activating her Zennatrix and slammed her hand down on it as a flash of purple light rang out, and we see her transforming herself into-

"Plazmazoid!" Plazmazoid screamed as she then eyed her boyfriend confusedly. "Wait a minute, hold on, why in the hell did you transform into Echo Echo instead of someone like Jetray, XLR8 or Fasttrack?"

"It's complicated, you wouldn't understand."

"Let me guess, the watch didn't let you transform into the alien that you wanted to transform into, huh?"

"...Shut up." An annoyed Echo Echo says as Plazmazoid giggled amusedly and walked over to try and grab her boyfriend to fly them to the Bellwood Wharf, only for a flashlight to be shined at them as they whirled around and were surprised to see Ben's Parents standing in front of them with a couple of glares on them. "Oh, man..."

"Do the two of you really think we're that gullible? We were teenagers once too, you know." A glaring Sandra says as a disappointed Carl shakes his head.

"I really don't know what to say to you two."

"Well, I do," Sandra says with a stern tone as she turns to Plazmazoid. "Vanessa, give me your parents' phone. I want to call them."

"Oh, uh, I don't have any parents."

"What do you mean by that?" A bewildered Carl asked as Plazmazoid shuffled around awkwardly.

"Well, my Mom...died recently and my Dad...I don't like talking about him." Plazmazoid says bitterly as Sandra and Carl frown and share a look as they then turn back to the lovebirds.

"Well, in that case, Benjamin Kirby Tennyson? And Vanessa Agatha Cunnignham? You two are both grounded!"

"...WHAT?!" Echo Echo and Plazmazoid asked in shock with wide eyes as Sandra and Carl nodded.

"You can't ground me! I'm a super-powered alien!"

"And I'm not even your kid!" Plazmazoid pointed out as Sandra narrowed her eyes angrily.

"You are a super-powered alien who is about five minutes away from making me reconsider a life-long disbelief in corporal punishment! And, yes, while you may not be our kid, since you don't have any parents or guardians looking after you currently, Carl and I will have to be the ones who punish you!

"Up the stairs, young man and young lady!" Carl ordered as Echo Echo and Plazmazoid shared a pout and turned around to reluctantly walk back into the Tennyson House through the backyard door.

"Do we even have a paddle of some sort?"

"I have my hemp belt," Carl says as we fast forward in time and we see an annoyed Plazmazoid lying on Ben's bed with Echo Echo lying on top of her and was kicking his legs around cutely as his phone rang out due to someone trying to Facetime him and Vanessa raised her arm as she stretched it over to grab her boyfriend's phone and handed it over to Ben as he answered it.

"Hello?"

"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO?!" Gwen asked with a glare as Ben and Vanessa noticed Team Alien Force running through the Bellwood Wharf as they were being chased by the DNAliens

"WE HAVE A LITTLE SITUATION HERE!" A scowling Heatblast yelled as Kevin nodded.

"AND A LOT OF DNALIENS!"

"Okay, we have an idea," Plazmazoid says as Echo Echo nods.

"Aim the phone at them," Echo Echo instructed as Gwen did so and aimed her phone at the incoming DNAliens as Plazmazoid reached over to grab Ben's phone, and her hands sparkled with blue electricity as, back with Team Alien Force, we see them flinching in surprise when Gwen's phone was suddenly transformed and resembled more like an upgraded boom box as Vanessa then handed Ben's phone back to him and Echo Echo reared back his head as he then screamed into the phone and the resulting sound wave traveling through the receiver blasted directly into the DNAliens, sending them all flying back as they all screamed in pain and agony as, once the Omnitrix Wielder stopped, he and the Zennatrix Wielder were surprised when Carl and Sandra appeared in front of them after bargaining into Ben's room as his mother reached over to snatch away his phone.

"Who is this?!" Sandra asked with a glare while glancing at the phone as she noticed that it was on Facetime but was unable to see the face of the caller due to Gwen holding out her phone to the knocked-out group of DNAliens as the Magical Anodite was quick to hang up the call.

"You two turn back into your Human Forms right now." Carl ordered as Echo Echo and Plazmazoid sighed heavily as they reached up to slam their hands into their Omnitrix and Zennatrix Symbols as they morphed back into their Human Forms with dual flashes of green and purple lights.

"I will take this," Sandra says while walking over to reach into Vanessa's pocket to pull out her phone as she then dumps both phones into her purse.

"Hey! Those are our phones!"

"A cell phone is a privilege. Not a right. You'll get them back when you've proven we can trust you two." Carl says with a stern tone as Sandra gives them a worried look.

"Ben, Van? Are you two hanging with a bad crowd?"

"What? No!" A shocked Vanessa exclaimed as Carl stepped forward.

"Are they telling you two that it's 'cool' to sneak out? Turn into aliens? Lie to your parents?"

"Whoever this bad influence is, they need to be told what's going on. Who?" Sandra asked with a glare as Ben glared back at her and shook his head.

"It's a sacred trust, Mom! We cannot divulge that information! Never, never, never!" Ben stated firmly with his arms crossed as Sandra then leaned down and scowled at her son sternly, narrowing her eyes at him as Ben blinked and gulped nervously as he went pale face.

"YOU MOTHERFUCKERS RATTED ME OUT?!" An enraged Gwen asked through Ben's phone as he and Vanessa can be seen lying on Ben's bed with guilty looks on their faces.

"We can explain-,"

"What's to explain?! My parents read me the riot act when I got home an hour ago to try and get my computer. 'How dare you help Ben and his girlfriend deceive your aunt and uncle, young lady!'. Why did you tell them?! You have gone nose-to-nose with Vilgax without blinking!"

"Yeah, well, Vilgax never gave me the 'Mom' look,"

"No, he gave you the, 'I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU, TENNYSON!' look."

"Look, we're sorry," Ben says apologetically as Vanessa nods.

"Yeah, her, 'Mom' look reminded me a lot about my Mom whenever she gets angry at me. I'm just happy that Verdona is looking after Sabrina, Ship, and our babies tonight or else they would be in trouble."

"We're sorry."

"You're sorry and I'm grounded. Stuck here in the house instead of finding out what the Highbreed wants with that freighter. I mean, I know that Kevin, Shadow, and Knight are going to check it out soon, but I'm worried because there are three of them and they are going into a boat filled with DNAliens."

"Don't worry, we will check in on them soon," Vanessa says reassuringly as we then fast forward in time and we cue over to a freighter moving along the ocean as Kevin, Shadow, and Knight turn a corner as they spot a DNAlien walking nearby and are quick to sneak past them as they spotted a nearby skylight and quickly ran over to it as Kevin opened it and allowed the Alien Siblings to drop down before jumping in after them as they landed down into a platform overseeing several tanks filled with some kind of green liquid.

"Ugh, what stinks in here?"

"I'm thinking that," Knight says dryly while pointing down at the tanks filled with green liquid as Shadow grimaces.

"I guess that's for Gwen to find out," Shadow says as Kevin reaches into his pockets to pull out a canteen and reaches over to grab Knight's arm as she helped him dangle over the platform, and the Osmosian Teenager tried to scoop up some of the green liquid into his canteen, but Kevin accidentally lost his grip on Knight's arm and yelped in surprise as he crashed inside of the tank filled with liquid, unknowingly getting the DNAliens' attention as they ran over to the source of the disturbance.

"Ugh! Fuck! Gross! It smells even worse up close!"

"Be quiet! You're going to alert the guards!" Shadow hissed just as they heard the sounds of DNAliens rushing towards them as Kevin's Plumber Badge began ringing, and answered it as he realized that Ben and Vanessa were calling him with the help of the Omnitrix.

"Hey, guys, what's the situation?" Vanessa asked as she and Ben sat on Ben's bed while hovering around the Omnitrix as it glowed.

"Really bad. Kevin accidentally fell inside of a vat filled with some unknown green liquid and the DNAliens are coming." Shadow says as Vanessa nods.

"Gotcha, we're conferencing Gwen in," Vanessa says while activating the communication feature on her Zennatrix to call up Gwen through her Plumber's Badge and connect the call with Ben's Omnitrix to have a three-way conversation.

"Hello?"

"I can't get a grip on the wall and I left my Material Bag back in my car by accident!" A panicking Kevin yelled as Ben frowned.

"Absorb something and get out of that tank,"

"Absorb what? Stink?!"

"Oh my god, this again?! Why do we have to keep reminding you on how to use your powers? Ugh, whatever. Anyway, Kevin, earlier you said that you can't find a grip on the wall, right? Then that means you are close to the wall is that correct?"

"Yeah? And?"

"...THEN ABSORB THE FUCKING WALL, YOU IDIOT!" Vanessa snapped with fiery eyes and a thick mark on her head as they heard Kevin making an 'Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh' noise in the background, and we cue back to the freighter as we see the Osmosian Teenager placing his hand on the wall of the vat and absorbed it, covering himself in steel armor as he then delivered a powerful punch across the wall of said vat, breaking it apart and caused a huge stream of green liquid to gush out of it with Kevin being washed away as well as he crashed down into the ground and a grunting Shadow and Knight were quick to jump in after him as they landed beside the Osmosian Boy.

"Guys, I think I know what Kevin was swimming in. According to Wikipedia, Castoon has only one export: bat guano."

"Oh, gross!" A disgusted Shadow exclaimed with Knight's face turning green as she gagged.

"What is guano?" A worried Kevin asked as he gulped nervously.

"Evidently, the berries on the island are radioactive from the nuclear tests years ago. When they're eaten by the bats, the resulting waste is the rarest isotope in the world." Gwen explained as she, Ben, and Van then winced in disgust when they heard Knight explaining to Kevin that he was essentially swimming around in Bat poop and began violently vomiting on the ground. "The radiation is so mild, however, it would take a lot of it to constitute a threat."

"Gwen, how much does that freighter carry?"

"...50,000 tons,"

"Um, guys? We could use a little help." Kevin says nervously after finishing his vomiting as he turns on the Facetime option on his Plumber's Badge and holds it out to show a big group of DNAliens heading towards them.

"Ladder ahead on your right. Climb it." Ben ordered as Kevin, Shadow, and Knight looked around as they spotted a ladder to their right and ran over to climb it to reach to the top.

"Okay, I see a hatch on your left. Go through it and hug the wall. Now just hang there for a second until they pass." Vanessa ordered as Kevin, Shadow, and Knight turned to see a hatch placed on their left as they went through it and hugged the wall as the snarling and hissing DNAliens ran past them.

"Back through and shut the hatch."

"We get it, we get it," A panting Knight says as she, Kevin, and Shadow go back through and shut the hatch behind them to trap the surprised DNAliens inside.

"You have a real future as a personal navigation device, Tennyson," Kevin says with an amused grin as he and the others then flinch in surprise when they spot more and more DNAliens heading towards them. "Shit, here comes some more."

"There's a crane hook right there. Grab it then kick the green button." Vanessa ordered as Shadow, Knight, and Kevin quickly jumped over to grab onto a nearby crane hook and swung their feet to hit the green button as they were sent flying upwards to land on a random platform.

"Okay, that was pretty cool," Shadow says with a grin as Knight nodded in agreement.

"We should fly solo more often," Knight says with a giggle as the lovebirds rolled their eyes dryly but then flinched in worry when they spotted the Highbreed Commander walking up to them and loomed over the trio threateningly as Kevin gulped fearfully.

"Uh, guys? We might need a little help here," Kevin says just as a pair of arms reached over to grab Ben and Vanessa's Omnitrix and Zennatrix Arms and yanked them out of the bed, accidentally deactivating their communication system as they glanced up to see Carl and Sandra glaring down at them firmly.

"Dad, no!" Ben shouted concernedly and with a glare as he and Vanessa broke out of their holds as Carl shook his head with a frown on his face.

"That's it, Ben! You and your girlfriend have defied us for the last time!"

"Mr. and Mrs. Tennyson, please you've got to listen! Our friends are in trouble! We have to go help them!" Vanessa pleaded as an annoyed Sandra raised her hand to silence her.

"I don't want to hear another word! You two are not leaving this room! You are not calling anyone with your alien watches! You are not IMing anyone! You are not texting anyone! You are not Myfacing anyone!"

"Myfacing?" A bewildered Ben asked as he and Vanessa shared odd looks.

"You two will sit in your room alone until we tell you otherwise. Understood?"

"Guys, you don't understand! This is a matter of life and death!" A concerned Vanessa says as Carl glares at her.

"The only lives we're concerned about are yours! You're staying right here!" Carl yelled as the lovebirds shared a serious look and nodded as Ben stepped forward.

"I'm sorry. I love you guys. I really do. You two are awesome parents. You raised me by example. Time after time, I've seen you put other people's needs before your own. I can't in good faith obey you now without disobeying everything you've ever taught me about life, the world, and responsibility." Ben says while he and Vanessa activate their Omnitrix and Zennatrix as Carl and Sandra narrow their eyes angrily.

"Kids, no, we forbid you to-,"

"I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Tennyson. When we come back, you can punish us however way you want, but for now, our friends need our help." Vanessa says while she and Ben slam their hands down on their Zennatrix and Omnitrix as dual flashes of purple and green lights rang out.

Once the flash of green light died down, we see that Ben had now transformed into a 5'6-feet-tall Male Citrakayah as he resembles a feline-like alien with eyes that have green scleras and black cat-like slit eyes, no hair/ears, a triangle-shaped nose, a small mouth with black lips and has an underbite as he also has a pair of white fangs, a sharp chin, a pair of four-fingered clawed arms with retractable black spike-like blades, Blue Fur, a tall slender build, a long blue cheetah-like tail with black stripes on it, a pair of three-toed legs with retractable black spike-like blades, and his outfit consists of a pair of large black spiky mask that covered his eyes, a short-sleeved black jumpsuit with green cuffs and a big green thunderbolt-like symbol planted on his chest, a pair of fingerless black gloves, a green belt with the Omnitrix Symbol planted in the middle, and a pair of green boots that exposes his toes. His name is-

"Fasttrack!" The Now-Named Fasttrack exclaimed as, instead of transforming into Humumgousaur and stupidly punching a huge hole in the wall of his room for no good reason, he zoomed forward in the form of a green/black blur and zipped around a surprised Carl and Sandra while using his afterimage trail to create a wall of green/black energy that completely trapped his parents inside.

"Coldphase!" Coldphase screamed while unfurling her wings and floated up into the air as Fasttrack skids to a stop and gave his parents an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry for trapping you guys in there. Don't worry, that energy dome will come down in twenty minutes." Fasttrack promised before rushing out of his room as Coldphase turned herself intangible and flew up to phase through the roof of Ben's room as the lovebirds disappeared from sight.

"They just ran and flew out on us! What are we gonna do?!"

"...We're going to listen to our son and his girlfriend," Carl relented while turning to give his wife a somber look as they were then surprised when all of Ben and Van's Big Chill Babies suddenly phased into the room and turned themselves intangible as they looked around.

"Don't worry, Momma and Papa, we are here to rescue you!" Crystal yelled in determination with Sandra and Carl staring at them in shock as Ralph flew over to glare at them angrily.

"So you two think that you can stop our parents from being heroes?! Well, it looks like I have to teach you a lesson!"

"Ralph, calm down! You can't attack them! They are our Grandparents!" Leo scolded while flying over to grab his brother and prevent him from flying over to try and attack their Grandparents as both Sandra and Carl looked heavily confused.

"Wait, what the heck is going on here?!"

"Oh, uh, this is a bit awkward, but we are Ben and Van's biological alien children," Donnie explained as Mikey nodded excitedly.

"Yeah, it's so good to finally meet you guys, Grandma and Grandpa," Mikey said with a warm smile as Sandra's jaws dropped in shock and a groaning Carl's eyes rolled to the back of his head as he fainted and we then fast forward in time as we cue back to the freighter and we see a group of DNAliens standing around the deck, guarding it as they then yelped in surprise when they spotted Fasttrack running through the ocean and ran over to run up the side of the boat as he zipped into the deck and Coldphase flew over to land beside him as the lovebirds glared at them furiously.

"You picked the wrong shapeshifting alien heroes to gang up on." Fasttrack started with a snarl.

"We've been having a bad day," Coldphase says while reaching up to slam her hand into her Zennatrix Symbol as a flash of purple light rang out, and we see Vanessa Quick Changing herself into-

"Wildfire!" Wildfire yelled while raising her arms to summon a big ball of red flames and tossed it over to collide against a group of DNAliens and caused a big explosion that sent them flying away as Fasttrack reached up to slam his fist into his Omnitrix Symbol, and a flash of green light rang out as we see Ben Quick Changing himself into-

"Humungousaur!" Humungousaur says while getting down on all fours and charging over to attack the DNAliens with a loud roar as we then cut to the inside of the ship, and we see the Highbreed Commander watching on as the DNAliens worked on the bat guano experiment as Kevin, Shadow, and Knight could be seen being held inside of solidified DNAlien slime.

"This stinks..."

"You are not the first to taste defeat at our hands," The Highbreed Commander says with a smug grin as he turns to them. "Nor will you be the last."

"No, you idiot. Kevin meant the bat poop." Knight says with a glare as a disgusted Shadow nods.

"I can't believe you eat this stuff."

"We do not eat it, vermin."

"Sure you do. What else would you do with it?" Kevin asked as the Highbreed Commander laughed mockingly.

"Tennyson has trained you well, but your pathetic attempts to learn our plans have only reminded me that I need to dispose of you." The Highbreed Commander says with a glare while raising his right arm to try and hit the trio, only for the lovebirds to appear on the scene as Humungousaur held up Wildfire and tossed her forward as she flew through the air and collided against a surprised Highbreed's stomach as she caused a big fiery red explosion that sends him flying away.

"Oh, that one was a little high and inside," Humungousaur says with an arrogant smirk as he then walks over to grab his friends and yanks them out of the wall as Ben places them down on the ground and a recovered Wildfire walks over to place her hands on them as she fired a big burst of red flames to blow apart their disgusting remains.

"Guys? I thought you two got sent to your room without supper?" A heavily confused Kevin asked as Humungousaur sighed heavily.

"Never mind that. The good news is that we are here now."

"And that we know what the Highbreed is planning," Wildfire says as she gestures over at the vats filled with guano. "The DNAliens that are down here there rendering it. Removing the impurities until they're left with a highly volatile isotope suitable for use as a power source."

"You guys figured all that out on your own?" A bewildered Shadow asked as Humungousaur shook his head.

"No, Gwen told us when we called her on our way here. The only question is, they are making a power source for what?"

"It's a surprise," A recovered Highbreed Commander says while stepping forward as an army of DNAliens stands around him. "The last surprise the human race will ever receive! Destroy them all!" The Highbreed Commander ordered as all of the DNAliens quickly went over to climb up the ladders to surround Team Alien Force, and Knight turned to Kevin.

"Hey, absorb that," Knight says while pointing over at the red cables with yellow circuitry-like lines on them as Kevin perks up and reaches over to place his hand on it as he absorbs it, covering himself with alien steel armor as Shadow quickly activates his Animatrix and slams his hand down on it as a flash of red light rang out.

Once the flash of red light died down, we see that Rook Shadow has now transformed himself into a walrus-like alien with pupilless red eyes, no hair/ears, two big rolled-up red trunks, a big mouth with a pair of long yellow tusks, six pairs of appendages on his back, a pair of huge three-fingered flippers, black skin with red markings on it, a long black flipper tail, and has the Animatrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

"Mucustodon!" The Now-Named Mucustodon yelled through the communication system placed inside of the Animatrix Symbol as it beeped red every time he talked and a bunch of DNAliens could be seen firing their slime at him as he merely stretched out his twin trunks and absorbed all of the slime as he digests it and then expels it through the appendages on his body to exhale a thick acidic cloud that formed around the DNAliens as they screeched in pain, Kevin rushed over to throw multiple strong punches across several DNAlien faces, Knight raised her glowing pink mana hands and fired several tendrils of mana that latched onto a couple of DNAliens and tossed them away as Wildfire held out her arms and fired dual big streams of red flames that collided against multiple DNAliens, sending them flying away as a roaring Humungousaur raised his arms and slammed them down on the DNAliens, knocking them out and also slammed his tail against a couple of DNAliens to send them flying away as the annoyed Highbreed Commander whistled at them to get their attention and casually gestured at them to come forth.

"You guys handle the rest. We've got business to take care of." Humungousaur says to Kevin and Knight as they nod.

"Do your thing," Kevin says with a smirk as Knight nods, and Humungousaur leaps over the railing and lands on the ground as the Highbreed Commander rushes over to sock him in the face and sends him flinging over to crash against the tank of bat guano, leaving an indentation as an angry Wildfire took off into the air and lowered her hands to fire a bunch of red fireballs down at him, distracting him long enough for Mucustodon to stretch out his trunks and wrap them around a pillar to hoist him up into the air and launched himself over to the Highbreed Commander to pierce his trunks into his chest, causing him to roar in pain as he grew angry and punched him away just as a smirking Humungousaur gained his Dinosaur Features and pulled himself out of the metal of the tank, sending forth a massive surge of bat guano isotope that sent the Highbreed Commander flying backwards as he crashed down into the ground.

"Nice shit, baby, but you might want to put a little size on," Wildfire says while flying over to land on the ground with Mucustodon landing beside them as Ben shakes his head.

"No room on this boat. If I grow in here, I will be too heavy for the boat and cause us to sink down into the bottom of the ocean." Humungousaur says just as a recovered Highbreed Commander rushes over to whack him away, sending Ben flying over to crash against Vanessa and Shadow as they all crash near the door with a couple of pained groans.

"Goodbye, Ben 10, Van 10, and Rook Shadow." The Highbreed Commander says with a glare as he is about to go over and try to kill them, only for the door behind them to open up as a light shined through the door and a big green energy blast and multiple streams of icy blue frost energy flew over to collide against the Highbreed Commander, sending him flying back as the trio turned over to see Ben's Parents and their Big Chill Babies standing/floating in front of them as Carl was holding a large alien weapon.

"Good shot, honey," Sandra praised as Carl winked.

"Like my Dad always said: the right tool for the right job."

"Also, good job, sweeties." Sandra cooed while rubbing Mikey's head as he and the others smiled.

"Are you guys okay?" Carl asked as a surprised Humungousaur, Coldphase, and Mucustodon nodded.

"Mom, Dad, I'm so glad to see you two, but what are you doing here?"

"And more importantly, what are you kids doing here?" Wildfire asked sternly as Crystal and the boys flinched and sweated nervously as, thankfully, they were all distracted by Kevin and Knight calling out for help as they were overwhelmed by the DNAliens.

"Um, guys! We could use some help here!"

"Oh, you two are the alien friends that Ben and Vanessa told us about? And you're their ruffian friend, Kevin, right?" Sandra asked as Carl raised his weapon with a glare, scaring off the DNAliens as they turned around to run away.

"Oh, uh, thanks, and yeah, we are," Knight says while she and Kevin get up from the floor as Mucustodon turns to Carl curiously.

"Hey, Mr. Tennyson, where'd you get that cool weapon?"

"What? This old thing? It's been sitting in the attic ever since Frank and I were kids. Always hated it." Carl says with a shrug as Humungousaur then turns his head and is surprised to see that Sandra is now wearing a short-sleeved white shirt with the red words that say, 'Hot Grandma!'.

"Uh, Mom? Where did you get that?"

"Oh, this old thing? I bought this shirt the minute you told us that you were dating Vanessa. I just didn't think that I would use it so soon. Speaking off, why didn't you tell us that you had alien kids?" An annoyed Sandra scolded as Wildfire laughed awkwardly.

"It never came up, but just you know, I didn't mean to put a baby into Ben's stomach. It just happened when I stuck something inside of him."

"Wait, what?!" A bewildered Carl asked with wide eyes as Humungousaur blushed in embarrassment and coughed a bit.

"Errrrrr, anyway, we're sorry that we just blew you off like that."

"We're not. In fact, it's kind of cool that you two showed up when you did." Knight says with a smile as she and Kevin walk up to them.

"It was very cool," Sandra says with a smile while kissing her son on the cheek. "We're proud of you. Your friends were in danger, you had to help them."

"Their friends?" Carl asked with a scoff and a grin as he gestured at all around him. "You heard that monster, honey. The whole world was in danger. Ben and Vanessa saved it."

"Hey, we helped," An annoyed Kevin says as Mucustodon and Knight shush him as they didn't want him to ruin the cute little family moment but couldn't help but miss their own parents.

"The point is, son, that we saw you and your girlfriend in action, you two knew what you were doing, and made sure to protect each other in battle."

"Yeah, you five would've fought a way to win, even if your father hadn't shot the giant alien with the space bazooka." Sandra praised just as a recovered Highbreed Commander could be seen stalking towards them as Ben grinned smugly.

"Speaking off, don't worry, guys, we got this, and because you two are here, it's time for you both to see an old classic alien of mine," Humungousaur says while he and the others get up from the floor as the lovebirds react quickly by slamming their hands into their Zennatrix and Omnitrix Symbols to Quick Change into their new alien forms while Rook Shadow slams his fist into his Animatrix Symbol and change back into his Normal Form as he then slammed his hand into Xennotrix and a flash of purple light occurred as, once they died down, we see that the trio had transformed themselves into-

"Wave Shredder!" Wave Shredder exclaimed while raising her arms and firing dual big streams of water that collided against a surprised Highbreed Commander, sending him flying over to collide into the isotope as he yelped in pain.

"Frakenstrike!" Frakenstrike screamed while having the two conductor coils on his back glow brightly with green electricity as he fired a huge burst of green electricity that collided against a wet Highbreed and electrocuted the hell out of him as he roared in pain.

Once the flash of purple light dies down, we see that Rook Shadow has now transformed into a 15-feet-old Male Evolved Talpaedan with a red armored robotic-like body as his head resembles a Greek Corinthian Helmet and it has a metal circle planted on top of his head, small pupilless purple eyes, long gray ears, a big silver drill planted on his face, a pair of silver drills on his shoulders with said shoulders and forearms being quite bulky, huge jackhammer-like elbows/wrists/hands with long silver drill-like fingers that have small horizontal line design and a pair of silver drills planted on his elbows, the black parts of his limbs/arms/upper arms/thighs are chain-like, a long silver tail with small horizontal line design and a pair of black/red three silver-clawed feet with his toes having small horizontal line design and a pair of silver drills planted on his knees, and has the Ultimate Xennotrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

"Ultimate Armodrillo!" The Now-Named Ultimate Armodrillo shouted while rushing over to throw a powerful drilling punch into the Highbreed Commander, sending him flying up to collide against the isotope and causing a big explosion to occur as Carl and Sandra nodded proudly and in satisfaction as we then fast forward in time and we see Team Alien Force standing on the docks as the freighter went up in a fiery explosion and sank into the ocean, taking the isotope with it as Kevin and Knight could be seen climbing up the ladder to appear back at the dock.

"Okay, we sunk it," Knight says as Frakenstrike raises an eyebrow confusedly.

"What about the Highbreed? You guys were supposed to drag him off the ship before you scuttled it,"

"Were we? It must have slipped our minds." Kevin says with a playful tone as Knight nods, and Ben and Vanessa look comically shocked and worried as they laugh.

"Nah, just kidding. He was gone before we got back." Knight says as the lovebirds sigh in relief, and Ultimate Armodrillo turns to Ben's Parents.

"You know something, guys? Vanessa would make a great daughter-in-law one day."

"True that," Sandra says while giving the lovebirds a teasing grin as both Frakenstrike and Wave Shredder blush heavily as we fast forward in time and cue back to the Tennyson Home as we see Carl taking the family dream catcher from its stand and hanging up the alien bazooka in its place.

"We thought you hated that thing, Dad," Ben says as Carl sighs heavily and nods.

"Yeah, I used to hate all that Plumber stuff. It reminded me of the secret life your Grandpa Max and Grandma Verdona hid from us, but now I understand that they were only protecting us. It had to be secret." Carl says just as the sound of a phone ringing rang out as a surprised Sandra reached into her purse and pulled out the lovebirds' phones as she handed them over to the young couple, and Vanessa answered her ringing phone as she saw that it was a text from Gwen.

"So, Gwen says that she and the rest of Team Alien Force spotted an alien sighting in the desert and-,"

"Then what are you waiting for?" Carl asked with a grin as Ben and Vanessa perked up as they nodded.

"It's Hero Time!/It's Time To Alien Up!" Ben and Vanessa exclaimed in unison while turning around to run out of the Tennyson Home, and dual flashes of green and purple lights rang out as Carl and Sandra shared a proud, warm smile.

"So what do we do now?"

"Well, I say that we can look after our Grandsons and Grandaughter." A bemused Sandra says as she and Carl spotted their Grandchildren hanging out in their home with Ralph and Donnie playing videogames on the TV, Leo was meditating on the floor, Mikey was raiding their fridge, and Crystal flew around to explore the house as the Tennyson Parents laughed amusedly.

And done. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one.

Anyway, as always, I will catch you all later.
