Alien Force Unite! Chapter 17: Birds of a Feather, a ben 10 fanfic

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 Hipocrock, Mantashark, Crow Reaper, and Scorsefly, and the Ultimate Alien Form Ultimate Heatblast 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 17: Birds of a Feather!}

"There it is up ahead," Gwen says with a small smile as we see Team Alien Force driving down the road in Kevin's Car with said person sitting in the driver's seat, Gwen sitting in the passenger seat, and Ben, Shadow, and Knight sitting in the back with Vanessa sitting on her boyfriend's lap as Crystal, Leo, and Donnie can be seen flying above them while invisible. "Just like your tip said," Gwen says while pointing over at an overturned truck lying in the middle of the road as Team Alien Force drives up to it.

"You sound surprised, Gwen," Kevin pointed out as Ben shook his head.

"We're not surprised. It's just that this whole thing seems a little pat."

"You guys think it's a trap? I can just keep driving." Kevin suggested as Vanessa shook her head with a small frown.

"No. Somebody went through a lot of trouble to get us here, so let's play it out and see what's going on." Vanessa says as Kevin nods and parks his car near the flipped-over truck as Team Alien Force gets out of the car, and the Big Chill Babies fly over to land near them as they turn visible.

"What are we going to do, Mother?" Leo asked Ben as he glanced down at him.

"Well, you see, son, we're going to check out what's going on with that truck over there."

"Hmmm, I don't know, Mother, this could be a trap." Leo pointed out as Shadow nodded.

"Yeah, we think it could be, but we might as well check it out since we got all the way over here."

"Can I go over and investigate?" Crystal asked hopefully as Vanessa shook her head.

"Sorry, sweetie, but your Daddy and Mommy think it's best that you guys stay close to us."

"Indeed, it's best for us to play safe." Knight pointed out as Gwen spotted the glasses that Donnie was now wearing and tilted her head curiously.

"Why is he wearing glasses?"

"Oh, Ben and I were able to find out that Donnie is near-sighted, so we decided to give him glasses to be able to see."

"Although, Donnie decided to make his own glasses out of Vanessa's trash." A deadpan Ben says as Donnie perks up.

"And I'm pretty proud of them," Donnie says while adjusting his glasses as Kevin ignored the conversation and reached into his Material Bag to pull out a steel ball as he absorbed it, covering himself in steel armor as the Osmosian Teenager then walked over to the overturned truck and reached over to grab the handle as Kevin opened the door and flinched in surprise at the sight of numerous DNAliens hiding inside.

"Shit! We got incoming DNAliens!" Kevin warned as a huge group of DNAliens leaped out of the truck and tackled him over to fall down onto the hill placed near the road as they all crashed into the trees placed in a clearing, and the Osmosian Teenager grunted angrily as he used his Superhuman Strength to send them all flying away and a glaring Knight could be seen running up several mana platforms that she created as she fired multiple mana disks that collided against the DNAliens and sends them flying away as a determined Gwen ran onto the scene and skid to a stop as she raised her glowing blue hands.

"Audite arbores causam meam, et capite has deebs!" Gwen chanted while magically bringing the trees in front of her to life as they gained mean faces and reached over to wrap their branches around a couple of DNAliens, restraining them as a glaring Leo raised his glowing icy hands and created a big ice sword as he flew over to slice several DNAliens while Donnie lifted up his glowing icy hands and created a big icy staff as he flew over to began whacking away multiple DNAliens and Crystal merely flew around as she breathes a huge burst of frost that froze over a couple of DNAliens as Vanessa, Ben, and Shadow shared a nod as they slammed their hands down on their Zennatrix, Omnitrix, and Animatrix as triple flashes of purple and green light rang out.

"Webtail!" Webtail exclaimed while raising her arms and tail and fired three weblines that impacted three DNAliens as she twirled them around to slam them against more DNAliens.

"Spidermonkey!" Spidermonkey screamed while leaping forward, and landed on a DNAlien's shoulder and front-flipped kicked him over to collide against a group of DNAliens as they crashed down into the ground.

Once the flash of red light died down, we see that Rook Shadow has now transformed into a 5'8-feet-tall Male Methanosian Hippolidae as he resembles a large alien crocodile with a large and long black head as he has red eyes that have black pupils, a pair of small black ears with red insides, long black snout with red armor attached to it and two holes that acted as his nose with four large white fangs that pop out of his mouth either in an upwards position or a downwards position, red armor that trails down from his snout all the way down to his tail with a trail of big black spikes following along it, muscularly thick black arms with four webbed white-clawed hands/legs, a long black tail with red armor and black spikes on it, and has the Animatrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

"Hipocrock!" Hipocrock exclaimed through the communication system placed inside of the Animatrix Symbol as it beeped red every time he talked and roared loudly as he rushed over to bite into two DNAliens with his powerful jaws, causing them to roar in pain as the DNAliens then began trying to spit their slime at the lovebirds with Spidermonkey and Webtail running away on all sixes in separate directions to avoid the attacks as the young couple then leaped up to land on two trees and began swinging around them crazily while firing more and more webbing at the DNAliens, restraining them as Ben and Vanessa landed on a single tree branch.

"Keep it on. It's supposed to be good for the complexion,"

"So stop monkeying around," Webtail says with a high-pitch laugh as she and Spidermonkey share a laugh just as another truck drives onto the scene as the backdoors open up and a bunch of DNAliens come out of it while wielding blasters as they fire multiple red energy blasts at Team Alien Force with Gwen and Knight working together to create a big mana shield to protect themselves from the attack as, before anyone could react, an Arachnichimp appeared onto the scene with a glare on his face and leaped up into the air to deliver multiple strong and fast punches by the help of his four arms, sending all of the DNAliens flying away and crashed down into the ground with a pained grunt as he then raised his tail and fired several web blasts that restrained several DNAliens into the ground as the Arachnichimp struck a fighting pose and growled at the remaining DNAliens threateningly as Shadow reacted quickly and slammed his hand against his Animatrix Symbol as he Quick Changed back into his Normal Form and swiftly slammed his hand down on the Xennotrix Symbol as a flash of purple light rang out.

Standing before them is a 5-feet-tall, 18-year-old Male Arachnichimp as he resembles a mix between a spider and a primate as he has a monkey-like body with three pairs of black eyes that have small spider-like yellow pupils, flipped-up light blue hair with white streaks, two white small fangs, two small holes that act as his nose, a sharp chin, four blue furry three-fingered hands, pale blue fur with a white center, two pairs of retractable white spider legs that can pop in and out of his back, a slim muscular figure that resembled that of an athlete, a pair of three-toed small blue furry feet, a long blue tail with two white stripes near the tip, and his outfit consists of a long-sleeved pink golf shirt. His name is Simian, an Arachnichimp con artist.

Once the flash of purple light occurred, we see that Rook Shadow has transformed into a 10-feet-tall Evolved Male Pyronite as he has a dark reddish-brown/yellow humanoid fire-based form with his body being huge and stout as he is composed of a super hot inner plasma that was covered by dark reddish-brown/black volcanic rocks, a large rock-like faceplate with pure white eyes, large shoulder-length fiery orange/yellow 'hair', a tongue that was made out of fire, two big miniature volcanoes on his shoulders that constantly spewed out orange/yellow fire and a big miniature volcano on his back that constantly spewed out orange/yellow fire, a pair of large muscular oversized hands/forearms with four fiery claws and two miniature volcanos planted on each arm, and a pair of slight oval-like designed feet with only two toes and one back toe as he has the Ultimate Xennotrix Symbol planted on his forehead, and his whole body was radiating with extreme heat. Rook Shadow has now transformed into the Evolved Version of his Pyronite Form named-

"Ultimate Heatblast!" The Now-Named Ultimate Heatblast exclaimed while firing multiple blobs of lava from out of the volcanos on his shoulders as they splashed near the DNAliens, scaring the crap out of them as they turned around to run away panickedly, and the DNAliens made their way into the truck as the aliens drove off.

"Whoa, Mama, we've never seen you fight like that." An impressed Crystal says as Gwen and Knight lower their mana shield as Simian tilts his head confusedly and chatters as Donnie eyes his shirt critically.

"And what's with the shirt? It looks hideous." Donnie says as the rest of Team Alien Force snorted amusedly and began laughing.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Team Alien Force laughed with Simian looking offended as Gwen then calmed down and eyed him curiously as she notices something about him that made her suspicious.

"Uh, guys? I don't think that's Ben. He is not wearing an Omnitrix Symbol."

"Yeah, I'm right here," Spidermonkey says while he and Webtail emerge out of the woods.

"Wait a minute," A suspicious Kevin asked as they all turned to Simon. "If you're not Ben..."

"Then who are you?" Ultimate Heatblast asked with a glare as Knight turned to him.

"An Arachnichimp, obviously,"

"I know, sis, I mean who is he specifically?" An annoyed Ultimate Heatblast asked as Knight grinned cheekily.

"Is this going to be one of those evil clone things again? Like with Albedo and Marosa?" Crystal asked, remembering the stories that her parents told her and her siblings about as Leo shook his head.

"No, Little Sis, they are still locked up in prison as stated by Grandpa Azmuth and Grandma Zennith," Leo says as Simian gets bored with them and runs over to Spidermonkey and Webtail as the Arachnichimp gives them both a worried look.

"Are you both alright?"

"Yeah, we're fine," Spidermonkey says with a nod as Webtail gives Simian a curious look.

"But who are you exactly? If you don't mind me asking."

"Just someone who saw two fellow Arachnichimps in trouble and did what any of us would've done," Simian says with a smile while placing his hands on his hips and spreading out his spider legs as Ben stared at them in awe.

"Whoa, I didn't know that we had spider legs."

"Of course, you do. Arachnichimps grow their spider legs inside of their bodies when they are young and they pop out once they reach puberty. Everyone knows this." Simian says as Vanessa gives him a sheepish look.

"Uh, well, this is a bit awkward, but we're not Arachnichimps 24/7," Webtail says while she and Spidermonkey reach up to slam their fists into their Zennatrix and Omnitrix as they Quick-Changed back into their Human Forms with dual flashes of purple/green lights while Ultimate Heatblast reaches up to slam his fist into his Ultimate Xennotrix Symbol to Quick Change back into his Normal Form with a flash of purple light.

"See? We have these things called the Omnitrix and Zennatrix and we can transform into-,"

"A bunch of superpowered aliens. You're the famous Ben 10, aren't you?" A fake excited Simian says to Ben as he then turns to Vanessa. "And I heard about you too as well from rumors. You are Van 10, right?"

"Yep," Vanessa says with a smug grin as Simian gives them both a fake amazed look.

"Whoa, I never thought I'd meet you two."

"We get that a lot," Ben says with a humble tone as he then gives him a hopeful look. "Hey, maybe you can help us stop those DNAliens."

"DNAliens?" A bewildered Simian asked as Vannessa stepped forward.

"Those things that attacked us just now were DNAliens. You've never heard of them?"

"No, and I'm sorry, but I can't do anything more for you guys. I've got something important I have to do." Simian says as Ben and Vanessa look disappointed by what he said.

"Well, then maybe we can help you," Ben suggested as Simian smiled warmly and nodded.

"You know, you two are everything they say you are, and more. If you really want to help, tell me where there's a cryogenics lab around here."

"A what?" A bewildered Vanessa asked as Simian looked away awkwardly and coughed a bit.

"It's not important. I'll find it myself. I'm glad I got to help you two at least." Simian says while raising his tail and firing a webline to a nearby tree as he pulls himself over to land on a tree branch. "With any luck, my own mission will go just as well," Simian says to Team Alien Force before turning around to begin swinging through the trees as we then fast forward in time and we cue over to Gwen's House as we see Ben and Vanessa sitting by the windowsill with their daughter Crystal while Kevin sits on a chair near Gwen's desk with Donnie sitting on said desk as they were examining some type of red/silver liquid dispensing device as Gwen was currently in her brother's room and was showing off all of Ken's Archery Trophies from his Trophy Stand to Shadow, Knight, and Leo.

"How come you guys haven't asked us what this thing is."

"We're worried about that Spidermonkey," Ben says with a concerned frown as Kevin raises an eyebrow confusedly.

"Why?"

"He saved our lives earlier." Vanessa pointed out as Kevin gave her a deadpanned look.

"I repeat my question,"

"Don't be a jerk, Uncle Kevin," Crystal says with a huff and crossed arms as Gwen and the others appear in Gwen's Room.

"What's that?" Gwen asked curiously as Donnie perked up and pointed over at the device.

"Well, Aunty Gwen, Uncle Kevin and I found this on the ground. It seems that one of the DNAliens dropped this by accident, so we're trying to figure out what it does."

"Oh, that's a DNAlien Resin Remover." Shadow says as Kevin and Donnie raise their eyebrows confusedly.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Wait, Grandpa used something like this to clean his ears," Gwen says while reaching over to grab the DNAlien Resin Remover as everyone turns to her. "You press this button here and boric acid solution comes..." Gwen says before trailing off as she presses the button, and a drop of acid comes out and burns its way through the floor, creating a hole as everyone looks stunned by this.

"Damn, your Grandpa has some tough ears," Knight says with a teasing tone as Gwen drops the DNAlien Resign Remover and everyone takes a couple of steps back away from it as we then fast forward in time and we cue over to the Bellwood Cryogenics Lab as we see a panting Simian running forward while carrying a container filled with some chemicals inside as he ran forwards on all sixes and several Security Guards appearing onto the scene as they tried to blast him apart with their guns, but Simian merely leaped forward and delivered multiple punches, kicks, and spider legs swipes that knocked them all out before restraining them with his webbing as he raised his tail and fired another webline that propelled him into the air as the Alien Con Artist then squealed in surprise when a couple of security Guards appeared and raised their guns to fire multiple bullets at him with one of them blasting through his webbing and caused him to crash down into the ground as Simian groaned in pain and rubbed his head as he flinched in surprise at the sight of the Security Guards rushing over to try and shoot them with their guns, but then-

"Zip!" Zip exclaimed while rushing onto the scene and running around a surprised Simian to create a big purple/black energy wall around him to protect them from the incoming bullets from the Security Guards.

"Goop!" Goop screamed while having his Anti Gravity Projector move over to spread out his slimy body and collide against three Security Guards to send them flying away as Shadow flew onto the scene in a new alien form, which made him resemble a small black ball with wings of the same color and size and a miniature version of his face is on the front of his body as he morphed back into his normal form and spits out a bunch of his Corrupturas as they resembled small dark purple diamond-shaped crystalline entities with light purple eyes, little horns, and black bat-like wings.

Standing before them is Rook Shadow transformed into a 7-feet-tall Male Vladat as he resembles a vampire-like alien with pupilless purple eyes, no hair/ears, two holes that act as his nose, a wide mouth with black lips and sharp yellow teeth, a sharp chin, a pair of muscularly slim five-clawed arms with purple bat-like flaps placed underneath them, Pale Skin, a tall muscularly slim build, a pair of muscularly slim toeless feet, and his outfit consists of a purple mask with spikes on it, a black jumpsuit with a purple chest and markings, a pair of black gloves with purple fingers, and a pair of black boots as he has the Xennotrix Symbol planted on his stomach. His name is-

"Whampire!" Whampire shouted while having his Corrupturas collide against the Security Guards' forehead and took control of them as Shadow commanded them to go to sleep, and they did as the trio then turned to a shocked Simian.

"We thought we would find you here," Zip says with a smirk as Goop waved at Simian.

"It's us, Ben, Vanessa, and our friend Rook Shadow. What are you doing?"

"I...I need some equipment." Simian says awkwardly as Whampire narrows his eyes angrily.

"So you just decided to take it? That's called stealing!"

"Can't be helped," Simian says with a shrug just as more Security Guards appeared and fired more bullets at them, but Goop was able to have them harmlessly go through his body while Zip used her superspeed to catch all of the incoming bullets and tossed them away as Whampire merely let them collide against his body harmlessly and Simian raised his tail as he fired multiple weblines that collided against their guns and pulled them back to land in his arms as Simians held up the four guns with a sinister grin on his face as he was planning to shoot them dead, but the trio spotted this, and the lovebirds reacted quickly by slamming their hands into their Zennatrix and Omnitrix Symbols to Quick Change into their new alien forms while Rook Shadow slammed his fist into his Xennotrix Symbol and changed back into his Normal Form as he then slammed his hand into Animatrix and a flash of red light occurred as, once they died down, we see that the trio had transformed themselves into-

"Wave Shredder!" Wave Shredder exclaimed while raising her arm and controlling the water in the pipes to burst out as she sent a huge wave of water that collided against not only the Security Guards but also Simian as they were all knocked down onto the ground.

"Buglizard!" Buglizard screamed through the communication system placed inside of the Animatrix Symbol as it beeped red every time he talked and sprayed a huge amount of yellow fog from out of his mouth that covered the whole area as everyone was blinded.

"XLR8!" XLR8 shouted while closing up his visor as he was able to have a better view of the area and zipped over to grab Wave Shredder as Ben ran them out of the labs before coming back to grab Buglizard and ran off as he then came back to grab Simian and zooms off as the Security Guards coughed and struggled to look for the alien intruders as we then fast forward in time and we see the gang, with the trio now back in their normal forms, residing in the desert while sitting by a campfire as Simian was examining the container that he had stole earlier.

"What are we supposed to do with you, man?" Rook Shadow asked with a glare as Ben nodded angrily.

"Yeah, we owe you one, but you're just a common thief."

"How dare you!" Simian screamed furiously while pushing back Ben as a glaring Vanessa stepped forward and pushed him back.

"Hey! Don't push my boyfriend!" Vanessa yelled as Simian growled lightly...but then gained a fake guilty look as he sighed heavily.

"I'm sorry, you're right. I am a thief...but not a common one. My name is Simian. Prince Simian."

"Prince?" Vanessa asked with a raised eyebrow as Simian nodded.

"They call my planet Aranhaschimmia. There's a legend we have about someone named Gefret. He was leading the Arachnichimps against an army of Vaxasaurians. He was totally outnumbered. It looked hopeless until he saw the light coming from the cave. Inside, he found a crystal refracting light from the enemy campfires. He saw that the cave was really a natural tunnel that led to the aliens' rear flank. He led his soldiers through the tunnel on a sneak attack. They were able to drive off the Vaxasaurians, but it never would have happened without that crystal. Gefret was crowned King of Aranhaschimmia and the crystal became a symbol of our monarchy. My father, the king, he died suddenly when I was finishing school, but just as I was about to be crowned, the crystal disappeared. The people thought it was a sign I didn't deserve to be king. A military dictator named, 'Mizaru', took over."

"So what are you going to do?" Ben asked with a sympathetic frown as Simian gave him a serious glare.

"Prove that I am worthy. I'm going to get that crystal back,"

"Where is it?" Vanessa asked curiously as Shadow remained silent.

"Hidden in a fortress. That's why I need that equipment to help me break in, and that's also why the pair of you can't interfere anymore. Understand?"

"Wait, you don't have to steal anything else. Let us help you." Ben says with a determined tone as Simian looks surprised but smiles as he nods.

"...But you don't even know this guy," Gwen protested with a glare as we fast forward in time, and we see Team Alien Force standing in front of Gwen's House as Vanessa and the others finished explaining to the others their new mission with Simian.

"Besides, what are you going to get out of helping him?" Knight asked with a glare as Vanessa huffed and crossed her arms.

"Well, first off, we're superheroes. Helping people out is kind of what we do. Second, he saved our lives, remember? We owe him this much."

"And there's something else, guys...he's a kid. I mean, he's older than us, but still, his father is gone now and he has to step up. Sound familiar?" Ben asked as Team Alien Force stared at him blankly. "He's just like me...I mean, he's just like us."

"Mother, Father, Uncle Shadow, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to help out Simian." Leo pointed out stoically with crossed arms as Donnie nodded.

"Yeah, there's something shaky about him that I couldn't help but feel suspicious."

"Plus, we don't feel comfortable with you guys going with him alone on this mission," Crystal says nervously as Vanessa gives her a warm smile.

"Oh, we're not going alone. We told Simian we wouldn't go without you guys. Although, you kids will be staying here with your siblings and Grandma Verdona because Simian says that this mission is too dangerous for little kids." Vanessa says as Crystal and the others pouted at their father's suggestion but nodded as a groaning Kevin scoffed.

"Ugh, great, so where's the fortress?" An annoyed Kevin asked as Ben, Vanessa, and Rook Shadow pointed up at the Moon.

"On the moon."

"Here's the entrance and here's where the robots patrol outside," Simian explained as we fast forward in time and we see a large Arachnichimp Spaceship flying through space as it headed straight towards the Moon, and we zoomed to the inside of the ship as we see Simian standing near his holo computer and explaining to Ben, Vanessa, and Rook Shadow on how their plan will play out as Gwen, Knight, and Kevin stood near them as they were staring out into space through the window. "If we land over here, they won't see us," Simian says as he then pauses a bit and turns to the others. "I'm sorry if I haven't asked this but do you guys have your own spacesuits? Because mine won't fit you."

"Don't worry, the minute that Ben and the others told us that we would be going to the Moon, I took a quick trip into my room to pull out these," Gwen says while holding out several black/silver round-shaped devices.

"Oh, Instant Galvanic Space-Suits," Simian says while perking up as Ben nods.

"Yep, Grandpa Max had us wear these during our first Summer Vacation when we fought against Zs'Skayr and his Monster Trio," Ben explained as Gwen nodded.

"Yeah, and Grandpa let us keep several IGSS just in case," Gwen says while handing two IGSS to Kevin and Knight as they placed the devices onto their chests and clicked the buttons on the IGSS as their bodies were covered with a special type of gray goop that is made out of millions of nano-robots and, after a few seconds of waiting, we see the trio wearing their own type of spacesuits as Gwen wore a pink/blue full-body armor with a pink helmet with a blue visor that completely covered her face but allows her to see perfectly, a pink chest armor, a pair of pink/blue gloves, blue lights on her helmet/arms/legs, a blue utility belt, long pink pants with blue accents, two blue kneepads, and a pair of pink combat boots with blue accents.

"Alright, so how am I going to use my powers with this suit on?" Kevin asked with a frown while wearing his own spacesuit as he wore a black/blue full-body armor with a black helmet with a blue visor that completely covered his face but allowed him to see perfectly, a black chest armor, a pair of black/blue gloves, blue lights on his helmet/arms/legs, a blue utility belt with his Material Bad attached to it, long black pants with blue accents, two blue kneepads, and a pair of black combat boots with blue accents.

"Yeah, didn't you say that you were unable to use your powers while wearing these? Would it prohibit from me using my powers as well?" A worried Knight asked while wearing a red/black full-body armor with a red helmet with a black visor that completely covered her face but allowed her to see perfectly, a red chest armor, a pair of red/black gloves, black lights on her helmet/arms/legs, a black utility belt, long red pants with black accents, two black kneepads, and a pair of red combat boots with black accents.

"Don't worry, I helped Grandpa customize these IGSS to be able to have us use our powers even with these suits on," Gwen says reassuringly as Simian turns to the others curiously.

"What about you?" Simian asked as Shadow raised his hand reassuringly.

"Don't worry, thanks to the latest visit that Azmuth and Zennith gave us, they updated our devices and gave us a new feature that is perfect for this mission." Shadow says as Ben and Vanessa nod as they glance down at their devices.

"Omni/Zeda/Xeno? Activate the Omni/Zeda/Xeno-Naught Security Protocol Function."

"Acknowledging Request. Function Access Granted." The Omnitrix, Zennatirx, and Xennotrix said in unison as the hourglass symbols on the watches glowed brightly, and Ben, Vanessa, and Rook Shadow's bodies were slowly consumed by three bright green and purple luminescent energy fields that washed over their bodies entirely as a triple big flash of green and purple lights occurred as, once they died down, we see Ben, Vanessa, and Rook Shadow wearing alien spacesuits.

Once the flash of green light died down, we see that Ben Tennyson was now wearing gray/white full-body armor with a gray/white helmet that had a green visor that revealed his face and had the logo of the Omnitrix planet on it, green/black chest armor, a Fake Omnitrix Symbol planted on the chest, a pair of black/gray gloves with green fingers, green lights on his helmet/arms/legs, reinforced gray chainmail on his arms/waist/legs, a black utility belt, black shorts with gray accents, two black kneepads, and a pair of black combat boots with green accents.

Once the flash of purple light died down, we see that Vanessa Cunnigham was now wearing gray/white full-body armor with a gray/white helmet that had a purple visor that revealed her face and had the logo of the Zennatrix planet on it, purple/black chest armor, a Fake Zennatrix Symbol planted on the chest, a pair of black/gray gloves with purple fingers, purple lights on his helmet/arms/legs, a boop window covered by a purple reinforced glass that showed off but protected her cleavage, reinforced gray chainmail on her arms/waist/legs, a black utility belt, black shorts with gray accents, two black kneepads, and a pair of black combat boots with purple accents.

Once the flash of purple light died down, we see that Rook Shadow was now wearing gray/white full-body armor with a gray/white helmet that had a purple visor that revealed his face and had the logo of the Xennotrix planet on it, purple/black chest armor, a Fake Xennotrix Symbol planted on the chest, a pair of black/gray gloves with purple fingers, purple lights on his helmet/arms/legs, reinforced gray chainmail on his arms/waist/legs, a black utility belt, black shorts with gray accents, two black kneepads, and a pair of black combat boots with purple accents.

"Omni/Zeda/Xeno-Naught Armor Security Protocol Function activated." Omni, Zeda, and Xeno said in unison as Simian tilted his head curiously.

"What is that function?"

"Oh, these are functions that Azmuth and Zennith recently came up with. The Omni/Zeda/Xeno-Naught Armor Security Protocol Function allows us to be able to not only survive in the vacuum of space and aquatic environments but also allows us to wear these armors even while in alien form." Ben explained with a grin as Vanessa nodded.

"Yeah, and we have to agree with them that this function is incredibly useful. I mean, not every alien that we have can breathe and survive in space/underwater, and we're probably going to need Terran-based aliens for certain space/underwater missions, so this armor will definitely be useful for us to use in the future. Especially whenever we're out in space/underwater with our devices timed out or something."

"Especially, since I lost my Master Control Function a while back." Rook Shadow says as, a long while back when the Gang busted a DNAlien base, they were working on a machine, and it sent out a wave that locked away Shadow's Master Control, and both Azmuth and Zennith refused to unlock that function for him for a long while. "Anyway, our new functions allow for almost any sentient alien to use their natural abilities while still wearing the armor without much trouble. Although, Azmuth and Zennith explained to us that our Omni/Zeda/Xeno-Naught Armor Security Protocol Functions are only to be used for space and underwater travel. Not suitable for combat whatsoever." Rook Shadow says as Simian nods, and they continue talking as a glaring Kevin turns to the girls.

"This is the craziest thing we've ever done, and that's saying a lot," Kevin whispered as Gwen shrugged boredly.

"Eh, we had MUCH crazier adventures than this one. Anyway, Ben identifies a lot with the prince. They've had a ton of responsibility thrown at them from out of nowhere, they're young."

"They both get on my nerves," Kevin said sarcastically as Knight glared and crossed her arms.

"But the difference between them is that I don't trust Simian," Knight says as Simian hears this and groans.

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" A clueless Vanessa asked as Simian blinked.

"Oh, right. Your Human Hearing isn't as strong as ours. They're saying they don't trust me. I'm too young."

"Don't listen to them. I almost never do," Ben says with a sly grin as an annoyed Shadow bonks him on the head.

"You should listen to us more often, Ben." Shadow scolds as Vanessa turns to give Simian a reassuring look.

"So, Simian-Oh, wait I just NOW realize that you are named Simian because you resemble a monkey. That is hilarious." Vanessa says with a chuckle as Simian looks annoyed.

"Look, Sim, no one thought that three kids would be able to handle the Omnitrix, Zennatrix, Xennotrix, and Animatrix, but we did it. You can do this."

"You're right, Ben. I'll show them. I'll show them all." Simian says with a somewhat menacing tone as Vanessa spots this and raises an eyebrow suspiciously as we then fast forward in time, and we see Simian's Spaceship landing down on the moon as the hatch opens up and the walkway pops out as Team Alien Force and Simian walking down it as the latter wore a skintight full-body orange spacesuit with a clear helmet.

"These drones are the first line of defense," Simian explained while leading the group over to the Moon Fortress. which was guarded by blue/silver robots. "When their radar spots something moving, they make a beeline for it and explode on contact. I can probably dodge them."

"Don't worry, we will handle them," Ben says as he, Vanessa, and Rook Shadow quickly activate their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Animatrix as they slam their hands down on them and triple flashes of green and purple lights rang out as, once they die down, we see that they transformed into-

"Snare-Oh!" Snare-Oh screamed while raising his arms and stretching out his eight white bandaged fingers to stab them through eight Moon Robot Guards, destroying them as the rest of the Moon Robot Guards spotted this and were quick to go and over and attack the gang.

"Soundwave!" Soundwave shouted while duplicating herself up to five as they rushed over to leap and tackled several Moon Robot Guards as the Soundwaves began punching and kicking all of them until they were damaged enough that they all deactivated as none of them bothered using their sonic screaming due to sound being unable to travel in space.

"Mantashark!" Mantashark yelled through the communication system placed inside of the Animatrix Symbol as it beeped red every time he talked and flew at high speeds as he burst through various Moon Robot Guards as Kevin reached down to get into his Material Bag and pulled out a rock-like ball as he absorbed it, gaining rock-like armor and leaped over to began punching various Moon Robot Guards left and right as Gwen and Knight raised their glowing pink hands as they fired out a multitude of pink mana bolts that destroyed various Moon Robot Guards and Team Alien Force made their way over to the Moon Fortress as they were about to get inside, but stopped as a bunch of Moon Robot Guards appeared onto the scene as Gwen turned to her team.

"We'll hold them off! Get in while you still can!" Gwen ordered with Knight nodding in agreement as Team Alien Force nodded and made their way inside the Moon Fortress as the Magical Anodite raised her glowing blue hands with a sly grin on her face.

"Potestatem convocare dracones igneos vocavi!" Gwen chanted while raising his arms as she summoned dual fiery green dragons, and they flew over to attack the Moon Robot Guards as we cue back with the rest of Team Alien Force as we see that there was a door locking them from getting deeper into the fortress and Simian suddenly run over to grab a lock with his four hands as he tried to lift it but failed as Vanessa and the others ran over to help him by lifting the lock as the door was opened.

"You can't do this all on your own, Sim. Remember that." Ben says while winking at Simian, who gives him a fake smile and nods as the gang walks into an open area and the door sealed behind them as they spot a nearby lock, and Simian runs over to grab it but fails as he then perks up and gave the others a fake pleading look.

"Little help here please?" Simian asked as the group walked forward and went over to help him pull up the lock, opening the door as a bunch of Moon Robot Guards could be seen waiting for them.

"Well, shit." Vanessa cursed as Shadow gave the others a serious glare.

"What now?"

"Me," Kevin says while reaching down into his Material Bag to pull out a silver ball and absorb it, covering himself in silver metal as he runs forward to begin punching and kicking various Moon Robot Guards left and right. "Go! I've got this!" Kevin yelled with a smug smirk while rearing his arm backwards to prevent an incoming Moon Robot Guard from trying to sneak up and attack him as Simian beamed and reached behind him to pull out two communicators and tossed one of them to Kevin.

"So, we can keep in touch."

"Nice, so no roaming charges?" Kevin asked with a sly grin before destroying another Moon Robot Guard with a swift kick as Simian tossed the other communicator over to Ben, and the gang ran deeper into the fortress before running into a split road as Team Alien Force looked around warily.

"Which way?" Ben asked Simian just as giant metal walls began crashing down around them from each side of the hallway as everyone stood back to back.

"I don't think it matters," Simian says with a nervous gulp just as the ceiling drop-down above them as the trio reacts quickly and activates their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Xennotrix as Ben, Vanessa, and Rook Shadow slam their hands down at them as triple flashes of green and purple lights rang out as, once they died down, we see the trio transforming themselves into-

"Four Arms!" Four Arms exclaimed heroically while raising his four arms to grab the ceiling to stop it from slamming down on them.

"Slapback!" Slapback screamed while raising her arms to grab the ceiling to stop it from slamming down on them.

Once the flash of purple light dies down, we see that Rook Shadow has transformed himself into a 7-foot-tall Male Hawkingcock as he resembles a combination of a rooster and a hawk alien creature with pupilless purple eyes, a purplish-white mohawk, a short yellow beak, a sharp chin, a pair of muscular purplish-black feathery three-talon arms with yellow hands, purplish-black feathers with a purplish-white belly, a tall muscular top-heavy slim build, a pair of slim thick purplish-black feathery three-talon legs with yellow feet, and his outfit consists of a purple mask, a purple strap vest with the Xennotrix Symbol planted on the vest hooker, a purple belt with a black stripe, and black briefs. His name is-

"Kickin Hawk!" Kickin Hawk shouted while raising his arms to grab the ceiling to stop it from slamming down on them as Simian did the same with his four arms.

"Ben? Vanessa? Shadow? Simian? Just checking in. Everything's cool on my end." Kevin's voice rang out of the communicator in Four Arms' belt. "Guys, can you hear me?" Kevin asked as Four Arms reached down his lower right arm to grab the communicator in his belt and raised up to his head as he pressed the button.

"Not cool on this end. We got stuck in a trap, but don't worry about us, we got it covered."

"Noice, see ya," Kevin says as he hangs up.

"So how are we going to get out of here?" Simian asked nervously as Slapback perked up.

"Wait, I got an idea," Slapback says while swiftly leaping backwards onto her back, and multiple flashes of purple light occur as we see her duplicating herself up to two, and allow Slapback #1 to hold the ceiling as Slapback #2 runs over to Four Arms and reaches up to go through his utility belt as she pulled out the DNAlien Resin Remover.

"Good idea, Vanessa." Kickin Hawk praised as Slapback #2 pressed the DNAlien Resin Remover and sprayed a powerful stream of acid into the ground, burning a huge hole into the floor as she and the others fell through the hole, allowing the ceiling to crash down onto the floor as we see Team Alien Force landing on the ground in another room as they all sighed in relief.

"Any idea where we are?" Four Arms asked as they all dusted themselves off.

"This wasn't in the blueprints, but leaders lead, so let's try this way," Simian says while pointing ahead to another hallway as he and the others walk forward. "By the way, where did you get the DNAlien Resin Remover?"

"Long story," Vanessa says while raising an eyebrow suspiciously as he and the others shared odd looks, but said nothing as Team Alien Force walked forward, not knowing that they tripped over a laser wire that the others walked over as we cue over at the Security Guard Station and we see said guard sleeping soundly until the alarm rang out around him as he jerks up with a startled and worried look on his face.

Sitting before us is a 5'6-feet-tall, 35-year-old Male Slurgon with brown eyes that have dark yellow sclera, no hair/eyebrows, a stumpy nose planted on his forehead, a sharp chin, a pair of slim four-fingered arms, Green Skin, a short slim build, a pair of slim four-toed legs, and his outfit consists of a red cap, a silver metallic neckband, a long-sleeved dark gray jumpsuit, a pair of silver metallic armbands, a pair of silver metallic legbands, and a pair of black boots with silver accents. His name is Lu, an Alien Guard of the Intergalactic Communications Center on Earth's Moon.

"Whoa, uh, it's probably just a short circuit. Uh, that's it." Lu says with a nervous tone while fiddling with the controls and readjusting them as he glances across all of the monitors and pales in fear and shock at the sight of Team Alien Force walking through the fortress. "Whoa! Oh, no! Oh! Why me?! Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3! Testing!" Lu says while turning on the communication system as the feedback from the speakers caused Ben and the others to yelp in pain. "Whoever you are, you need to leave! Right now! I-I'm serious!"

"He sounds scared, doesn't he?" Slapback #1 pointed out with a concerned tone, and Slapback #2 nodded in agreement.

"I'm serious!" Lu screamed as an annoyed Simian raised his tail and fired a webline over to collide against the speaker as he proceeded to violently rip it out of the wall, and Team Alien Force continued walking forward as they arrived at a large door that was sealed shut with a secret passcode.

"I don't think we can open this thing." Simian pointed out as the trio shared smug grins and nodded while reaching up to slam their hands into their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Xennotrix Symbols as the Lovebirds Quick Changed into two new alien forms while Shadow Quick Changed himself back to normal and then slammed his hand down on his Animatrix as a flash of red light occurred.

"Big Chill!" Big Chill yelled while going over to press his hand on the door as he was able to spread his icy glowing blue energy into it to cover it in ice.

"Vomit Puff!" Vomit Puff says while inflating herself into a ball-like shape and then spitting out a huge concentrated blast of very slippery purple slime that collided against the iced-up door as she began melting it with her acidic spit.

Once the flash of red light dies down, we see that Rook Shadow has now transformed into an 8-feet-tall Male Coleopterian Macrocorvus as he resembles a giant crow as he has a bone crow-like head with large pupilless red eyes, two holes that act as a nose, a small mouth underneath a huge amount of puffy black feathers that also had a bone-like necklace, a trail of large spiky bones that runs from his head down to his back, a pair of huge black feathery wings with two long spiky bones protruding out of them, gray skin on his chest and legs, a long black feathery tail with a trail of spiky bones planted on it, and a pair of three black claws toes with a single black clawed toe planted on the back of his legs as he has the Animatrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

"Crow Reaper!" The Now-Named Crow Reaper exclaimed through the communication system placed inside of the Nemetrix Symbol as it beeped red every time he talked, and rushed over to leap up to kick through the iced-up and melted door, breaking it apart to reveal a glaring Lu standing before them on a long black metal walkway as he patted his wrench into his hand.

"Now I have to fix that too!" An irritated Lu says as Simian walks forward on the walkway on all sixes and glares at the Alien Security Guard.

"Out of the way." Simian threatened with a scowl as Lu patted the wrench in his hand nervously, and Team Alien Force shared awkward looks as they didn't know how to deal with this. "Guys? I think this guy needs to...chill out, or maybe he should stop acting so slimy or needs to be stopped before he crows. What do you three think?"

"I think I hate puns," Big Chill says with an annoyed tone as a bewildered Vomit Puff turns to him.

"Really? This is coming from the same guy who made a bunch of eye puns as Eye Guy a while back."

"...Touche." Big Chill says with a pout as Crow Reaper huffed angrily.

"Sorry, Simian, but we are not going to hurt anybody who doesn't deserve it." Crow Reaper says as Simian scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Then I'll do it myself," Simian says while letting out a loud menacing screech as he runs towards Lu, who panicked and tries to him with his wrench, but Simian is able to easily slip underneath his feet and raise his tail to latch onto his legs as he uses his superhuman strength to lift him up into the air and tossed him over the walkway as a horrified and shocked Lu screamed the whole time.

"NO!/NO!/NO!" The trio screamed in unison as Big Chill flew down, and Vomit Puff jumped down from the bridge as the Lovebirds slammed their fists into their Omnitrix and Zennatrix to Quick Change into their new alien forms as Crow Reaper reached up to slam his hand into his Animtrix 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.

"Coldphase!" Coldphase exclaimed while breathing in a huge burst of cryo frost that collided against the ground and created a huge ice slide as Lu collided against it and rode down it as he was sent flying upwards.

"Jetray!" Jetray screamed as he flew down towards Lu.

Once the flash of purple light died down, we see that Rook Shadow has transformed himself into a 6-feet-tall Male Amperi as he resembles a purple jellyfish-like alien creature with black stripes on his body resembling lightning streaks as he has a pair of pupils purple eyes, his main body has three-segmented skirt-like parts for his head/chest/abdomen, six long purple tentacles that function as two pairs of arms and a pair of legs as they have white fins on them and has the Xennotrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

"Ampfibian!" The Now-Named Ampfibian shouted as he and Jetray flew over to grab Lu and flew him up into the air as Coldphase flew up to the boys.

"I don't suppose you kids will tell me what's going on here. Just a clue, maybe?"

"You first," Jetray suggested as we cued over to Simian, and we see him appearing in the Control Room of the Moon Fortress from where the fabled crystal sat as it rested on a large pedestal in a room filled with glowing yellow lights and the entranced Arachnichimp slowly climbed up the pedestal as he slowly reached out for the crystal, only to be violently shocked by purple lightning as Simian closed his eyes and scream in pain and agony as Team Alien Force ran onto the scene. "Damn, that gotta smart," Jetray says while sharing a grin with the others as he, Coldphase, and Ampfibian reached up to slam their hands into their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Xennotrix Symbols as multiple flashes of green and purple lights rang out as, once they died down, we see the trio had transformed themselves into-

"Chromastone!" Chromastone exclaimed while covering himself in a rainbow-like aura as he then took off into the air.

"Plazmazoid!" Plazmazoid screamed while summoning her plasma blue energy jetpack as she took off into the air.

Once the flash of purple light died down, we see that Rook Shadow has transformed himself into a 15-feet-tall Male Transylian as he has an appearance similar to the classic depiction by Boris Karloff of Victor Frankenstein's Monster with pupilless purple eyes, short black hair with long black sideburns in the shape of mutton chops style, no ears/nose, a large mouth with a row of sharp uneven yellow teeth that bear out, a sharp chin, two large purple metallic-organic tower-shaped conductor white coil-like generators growths planted on his trapezius muscles and purple light bulbs at the tips, a pair of giant muscular four-fingered arms, most of his skin is withered dark grey but some areas on his body have a different skin tone that is separated by scars and what resembles sutures as if his body parts were sewn together and his second tone of skin was lighter and stretched from his forearms up to his upper arm and shoulder and left/right arms, as it had patches located on his entire left shoulder and left pectoral/his entire right forearm/the top of his right shoulder/one spot on the middle-right of his back/nearly completely covering his neck and face save for some of the right side of his face as suturing connects all the patches as well as a circular 'cut' around his cranium, three large and stumpier copper-colored bolts with a flat black tip and a purple line across it on his back with two more bolts on his arms and two more bolts on his neck and two more bolts on each of his trapezius muscles, and his outfit consist of a pair of dark purple metal gauntlets that end in fingerless gloves with small screws appearing along knuckles, respectively, a purple/black metallic belt with a large and stumpy copper-colored bolt that had a flat black tip and a purple line across it planted in the middle, metallic dark purple shiny pants with ribs that dip in a V-shape, and a pair of huge metallic copper shiny boots with purple grills on them as the Xennotrix symbol is embedded in the flesh of his right pectoral with several deep scars protruding from where it resides. His name is-

"Frakenstrike!" The Now-Named Frakenstrike shouted while lowering his arms and fired dual bursts of purple lightning to launch himself up into the air as the trio landed down on the top of the pedestal with Chromastone and Plazmazoid being able to absorb the electricity easily into their bodies while Frakenstrike created a big purple bio-electricity forcefield to protect himself from the electricity attack as the trio reached down to grab an unconscious and injured Simian before tossing him away as they then reached up to slam their hands into their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Xennotrix Symbols as the Lovebirds Quick Changed into two new alien forms while Shadow Quick Changed himself back to normal and then swiftly slammed his hand down on his Animatrix as a flash of red light occurred.

"Brainstorm!" Brainstorm said with his mouth closed as he projected his thoughts out mentally and weirdly had a British Accent as he opened up the exoskeleton plates on his skull and generated green electrical energy to create a big green electricity forcefield around them to protect his friends from the electricity trap.

"Mindquake!" Mindquake exclaimed while raising her hands to cover the crystal in red energy.

"Scorsefly!" Scorsefly says through the communication system placed inside of the Nemetrix Symbol as it beeped red every time he talked and began flapping his wings rapidly, generating a frequency that short-circuits the pedestal and allowed Mindquake to rip out the crystal with her telekinesis, causing the pedestal to close and all the lights in the room and the fortress to power down slowly just before the auxiliary power activated, illuminating the room with blue lights as, 20 minutes later, we see a groaning Simian waking up from his unconscious state and looked around as he spotted Vanessa and the others standing before him in their Normal Forms.

"Sim, we got it," Ben says as he and the others walk over to a recovered Simian.

"We had to put it in this container just to be sure there wasn't any residual electricity or radiation," Vanessa pointed out while holding up a white/black container that held the crystal.

"You know, the four of us make a pretty good team, don't we?" Simian asked with a grin while reaching over to try and grab the container, only to be stopped by the trio as he raised an eyebrow confusedly. "What's the matter?"

"That guard. He was just doing his job. He didn't want to hurt anybody, but you were going to kill him. Not only that but you were willing to shoot those Security Guards earlier." Rook Shadow scolded with a glare as Simian's features hardened.

"Guys, there are a lot more lives than his at stake back home. Now give me-,"

"If you're really trying to make your planet a better place, you can't start out by murdering someone," Ben stated sternly as Simian growled...but then sighed heavily as he nodded.

"You guys are right. All I ever wanted to do was lead, but if I have to sacrifice my principles to become a leader, I'll never be a good one. Thanks, guys."

"You're welcome, Sim...but we can smell bullshit a mile away," Vanessa said with a sly grin while tossing away the container as Simian flinched in surprise but screeched in anger as he charged over to attack them, but the trio reacted quickly as they activated their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Xennotrix as Vanessa and the boys slammed their hands down on their devices as triple flashes of green and purple lights rang out.

"Hellbound!" Hellbound roared loudly while rushing over to latch onto a surprised Simian with her jaws and pierced through his skin with her sharp teeth as Vanessa shook him around violently and tossed him up into the air as the recovered Alien Con Artist glared down at the trio and held out his tail to fire a big webline down at them.

"Spidermonkey!" Spidermonkey screamed while popping out his four spider legs and easily sliced through the webbing with a victorious grin.

Once the flash of purple light died down, we see that Rook Shadow has now transformed into a 5-feet-tall Male Arachnichimp as he resembles a mix between a spider and a primate as he has a monkey-like body with two pairs of black eyes that have small spider-like purple pupils, two small holes that act as his nose, two white small fangs, a sharp chin, four purple furry three-fingered hands, pale purple fur with a black center, a slim muscular figure that resembled that of an athlete, a pair of three-toed small purple furry feet, a long black tail with two purple stripes near the tip, and wore no clothes as he has the Xennotrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

"Spidermonkey!" Spidermonkey X shouted before reaching down to grab his Xennotrix Symbol on his chest as he rotated counter-clockwise, and the core popped out as Shadow was quick to slam his hand down on the symbol and, instantly, his Xennotrix Symbol unsheathed four spikes in a diagonal directional formation as Spidermonkey X's body was slowly consumed by a bright purple luminescent energy field and a big flash of light occurred as, once it dies down, we see an Evolved Arachnichimp standing in his place.

Once the flash of purple light died down, we see that Rook Shadow had transformed himself into an Evolved Arachnichimp, which makes him resemble a 12-feet-tall gorilla-like alien creature with three pairs of pupilless purple eyes, thick pale purple eyebrows, two holes that act as his nose, a huge mouth with two white fangs sticking out of the bottom lip, a sharp chin, a pair of muscular black furry arms with three pale purple fingers, black fur with purple skin in the center, two pairs of retractable pale purple spider legs that can fold into his waist, a tall muscular build, and a pair of muscular black furry legs with three pale purple toes as he has the Ultimate Xennotrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

"Ultimate Spidermonkey!" Ultimate Spidermonkey exclaimed while running forward with the help of his two pairs of retractable pale purple spider legs as he reached up to grab an airborne Simian and slammed him into the wall as he yelped in pain.

"Bad idea on teaching me how to use my spider legs, Sim," Spidermonkey says with a mocking tone as Hellbound nods and growls at Simian angrily.

"Yeah, and you know what? We know that you have been lying to us about your past."

"Oh, yeah? See if I care!" Simian screamed with a glare as he then grinned sinisterly. "Do you three know what this place really is? It's an intergalactic communications center and the crystal is its power source! Once it's gone, no one's gonna be able to call for help when the Highbreed invade your miserable worthless planet!" Simian yelled while raising his tail and firing dual weblines at Spidermonkey and Hellbound's bodies before yanking them forward to send them flying over to crash against Ultimate Spidermonkey, sending them crashing down into the ground as Simian fired more and more webbing to cover up the trio before firing one more webline to collide against the container and pulled it over to land in his hand as he turned around to run out of the Control Room and spotted Kevin waiting nearby as he was no longer wearing his silver steel armor.

"Hey, Sim, where's the others?" Kevin asked curiously as Simian ran past him hurriedly.

"Right behind me!" Simian yelled as a suspicious Kevin glanced back, allowing the Alien Con Artist to make his way out of the Moon Fortress and make his way back to his spaceship as Gwen and Knight could be seen standing near it, waiting for their team as Simian rushed past them and made his way up the walkway.

"What are you doing? Where's the others?" Gwen asked confusedly as Simian sweated nervously.

"I, um, uh...ah, fuck it!" Simian screamed while running up the ship, and the walkway closed up as the hatch slammed shut, surprising the girls as Gwen and Knight then composed themselves and were about to bring down the spaceship, but stopped as Kevin and Shadow ran up to stop them with the lovebirds running up onto the scene as all of them were back in their normal forms.

"Gwen, it's okay," Kevin says reassuringly as Shadow nodded in agreement with a glare.

"Let him go."

"What do you mean, 'let him go'?!" An annoyed Knight asked as Gwen nodded in agreement just as Simian flew up his spaceship as it took off into the air.

"How are we supposed to get home?!" Gwen asked as Ben winked at her with a sly grin on his face.

"Lu's going to let us use his shuttle,"

"Who's Lu?" A bewildered Knight asked as Shadow placed his hand on her shoulder reassuringly.

"The techie who runs this place. We saved his life and he told us what was really going on."

"Of course, we were already suspicious when Simian knew what the DNAlien ear cleaner was even though he said he'd never heard of the DNAliens and how violent his fighting style was." Vanessa pointed out while crossing her arms as she gestured over at Shadow. "Plus, he said that he had dealt with his own Simian back in his home dimension, but wanted to see if our Simian was bad or not."

"Yeah, but the prince, he's got the crystal now and-,"

"The guy's no prince, believe me," Ben says with a glare as a smirking Vanessa reaches behind her and pulls out the crystal and holds it above her.

"As for the crystal, I knew that it would be bad for Simian to keep it, so I kept it inside of my suit when he was unconscious and made him believe that he beat us in order for him to not get suspicious and run away. Clever, right?"

"But wait, if you guys have the crystal, then what does Simian have?" A confused Gwen asked as the trio shared mischievous grins, and we then fast forward in time as we cue over to Planet Earth, and we see Simian meeting up with the Highbreed Commander as he presented him the container.

"I'm telling you, these Earth Heroes are so overrated. I tricked them into helping me steal the crystal and they never had a clue."

"Sounds like you made real monkeys out of them," The Highbreed Commander says while holding out a big chest as he opens it up to reveal several gold bars. "No offense."

"Offend me all you want as long as you keep paying me like this," Simian says with a greedy tone while reaching over to try and grab the container, but is stopped by the Highbreed Commander as he glares at him sternly.

"First, I'd like to see the crystal."

"Of course," Simian says with a sheepish laugh while giving him the container as the Highbreed Commander grabs it and opens it as the Alien Racist gains a confused and annoyed look.

"What is this? A joke?"

"A joke? What do you mean?" Simian asked with a raised eyebrow as the Highbreed Commander held out the container, and the Alien Con Artist was shocked to see the DNAlien Resin Remover planted inside as he couldn't help but gasp in shock and horror, realizing that he got duped by Team Alien Force as the Highbreed Commander menacingly stepped forward and the Arachnichimp backed up in fear and worry as he trembled. "T-this is a mistake!"

"It certainly is. We distinctly told you to bring us the crystal," The Highbreed Commander says while holding up the DNAlien Resin Remover as he grinned maliciously. "Maybe you didn't hear us. Maybe you need to have your ears cleaned." The Highbreed Commander says while jamming the DNAlien Resin Remover into a shocked Simian's ear and firing a big stream of acid directly into his head, melting his head in half as Simian lets out a loud and agonizing scream that rang out across the night sky.

And done. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one. Also, before I go, I want to say that Team Alien Force later tracked down Simian and saw his condition, so Gwen used her healing magic to heal him enough for the gang to then throw him into the Null Void to pay for his crimes.

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