5. Pier Pressure

Hey, guys! Welcome to the new chapter of Alien Force Unite! I hope that you guys will enjoy the chapter...anyway, I don't own anything except for my OC's.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

{Episode 5: Pier Pressure}

At nighttime, we see smoke coming off from the forest as we zoom in and see a large, heavily damaged, alien spaceship resting upon a large crater. For the moment, all was quiet until suddenly, a small green/black blob-like alien slithered out one of the holes on the ship and fell down into the ground with a thud. The small blob groaned as he shakes his head and looked around his surroundings curiously as he then leaped out of the crater and suddenly morphed its body into that of a dog as he then started slithering its way through the forest.

After a few minutes of crawling around in the forest while avoiding large predators, the little alien suddenly found himself standing on the other side of a freeway as he saw a man in overalls trying to change the tires of his large red truck and beeped curiously as the small blob quickly crawled through the freeway and made its way over to the truck while being careful to avoid the man's gaze as he shook his tail in preparation and phase into the truck.

Not noticing this, the man continued working on his truck as he sighed tiredly and wiped off the sweat from his forehead from the excessive work as he was about to finally take out the tire when suddenly, the man staggered back in shock as he saw his truck being covered with what appears to be a green/black blob and suddenly turned on by itself and drove off.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing with my-" The trucker yelled before stopping in mid-sentence as the truck turned his 'head' over to him and glared at the flabbergasted man fiercely.

The trucker stared at the bizarre scene with a confused look on his face as the truck made a u-turn and started driving up to him at high speeds as the man screamed in terror and tried to outrun the truck. But obviously, failed as the possessed truck easily caught up to him and jumped up into the air as the truck's number opened up like a mouth, revealing his sharp teeth as he fell down towards the trucker, who screams in fear as he covered his head and the truck swallowed him whole.

The next day, we see Vanessa and Gwen sitting in one of the stands of the Bellwood Junior Baseball Stadium as Kevin was sleeping behind them in his seat while Ben ran off to get some snacks. The game started to begin as all of the players started entering the field, and Vanessa and Gwen began to cheer as they saw Sabrina walking alongside her team while wearing a baseball uniform as the little girl spotted them and waved at them excitedly.

Three weeks have passed since the whole DNAlien ordeal, and Vanessa was glad to see that her sister back to her normal self. At first, Sabrina was depressed and reclusive over the death of her mother, and Vanessa was starting to get worried about her well being. Sabrina very rarely came out of the Rustbucket and refused to talk to anyone but Vanessa, and even then, she hardly says anything to her. The young Cunningham also barely ate, and whenever Vanessa or the others tries to cheer her up, she just stares at them blankly and goes to her room, which is basically the upper bed of the twin's bed.

Running out of options, Gwen suggested to Vanessa that Sabrina should have an activity or a hobby to take her mind off her mother's death, and the oldest Cunningham quickly took her advice as she started looking around town to find something that Sabrina will like and after walking around for hours, Vanessa finds a flyer on the wall saying that a team was looking for any applicants to join their team at the Little Baseball League. Quickly ripping out the flyer on the wall, Vanessa rushed over to her little sister and asked if she wanted to play baseball as Sabrina was skeptical about the whole idea t first, but after much begging from her sister, the little girl reluctantly agreed to join the team.

At first, Sabrina was not enthusiastic about the whole baseball thing, but after coming to a few practices, Sabrina…actually started to have fun playing the game! She even made friends with some of the members of her team. Anyway, today was her first official game, and so far, Sabrina was doing great...I mean, she missed catching the ball a few times and fell on a couple of occasions, but otherwise than that, she was having a blast.

"And now entering the field is Sabrina Cunnigham!" The announcer yelled as Vanessa and Gwen started cheering again.

"Yeah! Go, Sabrina!" Vanessa screamed enthusiastically as Sabrina ran over to the game and waved at her sister excitedly before taking her position in the game as Vanessa's Zennatrix beeped.

"Well, aren't you happy?" Zeda asked teasingly as Vanessa looks down at the Zennatrix with a smile.

"Of course, I am! After the whole fiasco a few weeks ago, I was getting kind of scared that the whole experience traumatized her, but after taking Gwen's advice, Sabrina has been slowly getting better each day." Vanessa says before turning over to Gwen as she gave her an appreciative smile. "Thanks for helping me out with my sister, Gwen." She says as Gwen smiled.

"Aw, it's nothing. Anything to help out a friend."

"Yo, yo, yo, snacks coming through," Ben said while walking past Gwen as he sat down beside Vanessa and gave her a hotdog with mustard while he handed a bag of peanuts over to Gwen. "So, what did I miss?" Ben asked as Vanessa smiled at him excitedly.

"You made it just in time, Ben, Sabrina is batting at home plate, and is the final inning. If she gets a home run, she will win the game." Vanessa says while taking a bite out of her hotdog as Sabrina walked over to the home plate and raised her bat anxiously as her opponent glared at her.

"Wait, they are going to play her now? When the game is about to end? Oh man, can you imagine how nervous she is going to be?" Ben asked worriedly as Vanessa waves off her concerns.

"Nah, I think she is going to be okay."

"Are you sure about that, Vanessa?" Zeda asked, equally as worried as Ben as Vanessa glanced down at the Zennatrix with a confident look.

"Don't worry, she got this. She is a Cunningham remember? She won't get scared so easily." Vanessa says as Ben looked over at Sabrina and saw that her legs were shaking nervously as he sweatdrops.

"Yeah, she has nerves of steel," Omni says sarcastically as the pitcher growled at Sabrina threateningly, causing her to gulp as the pitcher smirked at her before raising the ball over his head as he throws it at her, and Sabrina yelped as she closes her eyes and swung her bat, but missed as the ball sailed past her.

"Strike 1!" The catcher screams as the gang gasped, but Vanessa's expression didn't falter as she silently encouraged her little sister to continue trying. Sabrina pouted a little bit before raising her bat again as the pitcher threw another ball at her, and again she missed the ball completely. "Strike 2!"

"Ah, forget this!" Sabrina screamed in frustration as she threw her bat on the ground and stormed off out of the station as everyone murmured in confusion at her actions. Gwen and Ben frowned sympathetically as Vanessa quickly got out of her seat and ran out of the stands to catch up with her sister as Vanessa saw her trying to exit the building.

"Hey, hey, hey, where do you think you're going?" Vanessa asked while walking up to her sister as Sabrina frowned and looked down at the ground.

"Leaving," Sabrina says simply as Vanessa raised an eyebrow at her and crossed her arms.

"And what? You're going to give up on your team just like that?" Vanessa asked as Sabrina sat down on the floor and hugged her knees together as she moans miserably. Vanessa saw this, and her face softens as she sat down on the floor and grabbed her sister as Vanessa brought her to her lap and hugged her as she looks down at the sad Sabrina concernedly. "Hey, come on, what's wrong? Talk to me, Sabrina." Vanessa pleaded as Sabrina mumbles something incoherently. "What's that? I didn't understand you." Vanessa says as Sabrina grew angry and glared up at her sister as tears of frustration rain down from her eyes.

"I said, I can't do this! It's too hard, and with all of this pressure on me, I'm scared that I will fail and let the whole team down!" Sabrina screamed before sniffling as she looks down and begins crying as Vanessa's sister instincts came in, and she hugged her sister comfortably as Sabrina cried on her chest.

"Hey, come on, now, what this talk about failing the team? How do you know you will fail your team when you don't even try?" Vanessa asked with a small grin on her face as Sabrina looked up to her but said nothing as Vanessa sighed and rubbed Sabrina's hair as she smiled at her warmly. "Sabrina, what your feeling right now is completely normal. I get the exact same feeling every day when I'm out saving the world with Ben and others. Look, Sabrina, I can't assure you that you will win the game, but isn't it better to try something and fail, instead of not trying and wondering for the rest of your life if you would have won the game or not?" She asked as Sabrina looked down at the ground, thinking about her words as she had eventually come to a decision and looked up at her sister as she smiled at her lightly.

"Well, I guess I can give it a shot,"

"Atta girl. Oh, and Sabrina? No matter what happens, you will always be a winner in my book," Vanessa says as Sabrina smiled brightly and hugged her sister as the Zennatrix beeped.

"Wow, Vanessa, that was a really cheesy line," Zeda says with a chuckle as Sabrina giggled and Vanessa gives the AI an annoyed look as she lets go of Sabrina and glared at her alien watch.

"Really, Zeda? We were having a nice moment here, and you just had to ruin it." Vanessa grumbled while rolling her eyes as she stood up and gave her sister a supportive look. "Now, go out there and show the world what us Cunninghams are made off!" Vanessa says as Sabrina nodded determinedly and ran back to the stadium while Vanessa headed back into the stands.

"Hey, Vanessa, is everything okay?" Ben asked worriedly as Vanessa got back into her seat and nodded.

"Yeah, Sabrina just had cold feet, but I talked to her, so everything should be fine now," Vanessa said as Sabrina apologized to her coach and walk back to home plate as the pitcher smirked at her arrogantly.

"Oh look, the crybaby is back. Why don't you throw another tantrum and ran back to your mommy?" The pitcher says mockingly while laughing at her as Sabrina narrowed her eyes at him angrily and raised her bat as she growls at him threateningly.

The pitcher was taken back by this but quickly composed himself as he drew back the ball and threw it at her. Time seemed to slow down as Sabrina's eyes narrowed at the incoming projectile and swiftly swung her bat at the ball with all of her strength and actually manages to hit as it soars across the sky. The crowd gasped in surprise as the ball flies higher and higher into the sky before disappearing with a twinkle as the crowd cheered, and Sabrina quickly ran all of the plates as she won the game by a home run. Vanessa cheered excitedly as she ran out of the stands and ran across the stadium to hug her sister, but unknown to the girls, however, Ben was busy staring at Vanessa's smiling face with a blush on his face as he sighed lovingly, and Gwen noticed this as she smirked deviously and turned to him.

"You really like her, don't you?" Gwen asked with a knowing grin as Ben turned to her confusedly.

"Of course I do, she is my friend after all," Ben says as Gwen rolled her eyes at her cousin's obliviousness.

"No, I meant that you like like her," Gwen says suggestively as Ben realized what she was talking about and blushed heavily as he waved his arms around panickily.

"W-What!? N-No, I d-don't!"

"Really? Because I sense that your heart often beats rapidly whenever you look at Vanessa." Omni added in teasingly as Ben glared at the Omnitrix.

"Shut up! I don't like her like that!" Ben says as Gwen rolled her eyes and gave her cousin a disbelief look.

"Ben, stop trying to fool me. I know you like her, it's so obvious! The one thing that I don't understand is, why haven't you ask her out on a date already?" Gwen asked as Ben stumbled with his words before sighing as he lowers his head in defeat.

"Alright, fine, I do like like her, okay. But what if she doesn't like me back? Or what about if we go on a date together all alone and she will realize how much of a dork I am." Ben says solemnly as Gwen placed her hand on his back and smiled at him reassuringly.

"Ben, you're not a dork. You're kind, sensitive, and well mannered." Gwen listed off before looking over to Kevin, who was still sleeping on his seat as Gwen glared at him. "Unlike some people I know," She said with an annoyed look before looking over at the baseball stadium as Gwen noticed that almost everybody was starting to leave. "Look, the team is clearing out, now is your chance to ask Vanessa out!"

"Um, wait, I'm not sure that's a good ide-" Ben says nervously before getting cut-off by Gwen as she grabbed his arm and started leading him towards Vanessa.

"Okay, good luck!" Gwen says cheerfully while pushing him towards Vanessa as Ben nearly lost his footing, but luckily, he caught himself in time just as Vanessa turned to him and gave him her usual beautiful smile.

"Oh, hey, Ben." Vanessa greeted calmly as Ben smiled at her weakly.

"Vanessa, hey, um, I just came here to...to...congratulate your sister on her big win!" Ben says with an awkward chuckle as Vanessa beamed at him, oblivious to his nervousness as she ruffled her sister's hair.

"Yeah, I just knew this kid will win,"

"It was all thanks to you, sis," Sabrina says with a smile as Vanessa smiled back at her.

"Ah, I didn't do anything. It was all you, sis. Now, come on, let's go celebrate and buy pizza, bye Ben," Vanessa says cheerfully as she started walking off with her sister following close behind her.

"Um, right, see you later," Ben says meekly as he was about to walk off the field, but stopped as he saw his cousin giving him a stern look and motioning him to go back to her as he sighed and nodded as he turned to Vanessa. "Wait, Vanessa! I-I actually wanted to ask you something!" Ben says, stopping the girls in their tracks as they turned to him curiously.

"Really? What is it?" Vanessa asked as Ben was about to man up and ask her out, but noticed that Sabrina was still standing there as he coughed awkwardly.

"Oh, I was actually wondering if we could talk alone," Ben says as Vanessa raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm? Okay, if that's what you want. Hey, Gwen, can you take Sabrina back to The Rustbucket for me?"

"I will be glad to," Gwen said as she grabbed Sabrina's hand and walked off, but not before giving her cousin an encouraging look as Ben smiled at her meekly before feeling nervousness creeping up his body as he let out a shaky breath and looked up to Vanesa smiling face.

"Okay, so um, Vanessa? I was wondering if...you wanted to go out sometime?"

"Sure," Vanessa says with an innocent smile on her face as Ben nearly faltered back on how easy that was, he thought asking a girl out will be a lot harder than that.

"Really? That's great!" Ben says enthusiastically as Vanessa smiled.

"Yeah, so when are we and others are heading out on patrol?" Vanessa asked as Ben's grin instantly fell, and he stared at her in disbelief, how can anyone be this oblivious?

"No, no, Vanessa, you didn't understand me. I didn't mean going out with friends, I meant, going out as in going out." Ben stressed as Vanessa tilted her head in confusion before blushing madly as the realization hit her on her face like a ton of bricks.

"Oh...oh...oh! Y-You, mean like you and m-me, going on a d-date?" Vanessa asked shyly while twiddling her thumbs nervously as Ben nodded and looked up to her with a hopeful look on his face.

"Yeah, so...will you go out with me?" Ben asked timidly as Vanessa's brain instantly shut down, and she didn't know what to say, but thankfully for her, Zeda decided to butt in and help out her wielder.

"She will love to go out on a date with you. Isn't that right, Vanessa?" Zeda asked as Vanessa nodded slowly with a dopey smile on her face as Ben smiled widely.

"Really? Great! So, I was thinking that we could head to the pier. The place is practically empty, but the rides are still working,"

"Uh...uh...uh..." Vanessa said numbly as her mind couldn't comprehend what was happening, but luckily, she was brought back into reality thanks to the Zennatrix sending a mild shock through her body as she sprung back to life with a really excited smile on her face. "THAT WILL BE PERFECT!" Vanessa screamed, a little bit too enthusiastically as the Zennatrix shocked her again, and Vanessa coughed nervously, embarrassed by her sudden outburst as she regained her composure and smiled at Ben calmly. "I-I mean, I will love to go,"

"Sweet, I will pick you up at seven!" Ben said excitedly as he turned around and ran out of the stadium as he waved at her good-bye.

"Bye," Vanessa says with a love-struck voice before blinking as she looks around confusedly. "Wait, what just happened?"

"You just agreed to go out with Ben tonight on a date at the pier," Zeda answered as Vanessa blinks in surprise and beams as she squealed happily.

"Wow! I can't believe this is happening! I'm finally going out with Ben! I must be dreaming...wait, did he said he will pick me up at seven? That's five hours from now! That's not nearly enough time to get ready! I have to pick out an outfit, put on some makeup, and who will look after Sabrina while I'm off with Ben and-" Vanessa says panickily before getting interrupted by Zeda as the AI shocked her again.

"Now, now, deary, why don't we deal with those problems AFTER we go back to the RV," Zeda suggested as Vanessa nodded weakly and walked out of the stadium to find Gwen, leaving behind Kevin as the young teenager finally woke up.

"Huh? What happened? Did Sabrina won?" Kevin asked Gwen, only to blink as he realized that she and everyone was gone as the stadium was completely empty. "What the hell? How long was I asleep?"

---

"Yeah, found that stolen truck," A police officer says while investigating the site where the stolen truck was last seen as it was completely tilted over. "No, no sign on whoever took it," He says while talking to another police officer through his walkie-talkie as he then walked closer to the truck to inspect it, not noticing the small green/black from before making its way to his police car as he leaps up and phases into the vehicle.

"What do you mean he says that it drove off by itself!? That just doesn't happen!" The police officer shouted incredulously, thinking what the trucker said was ludicrous as he was about to walk off to find more clues on who stole the truck.

When suddenly, he froze in his tracks as the police officer heard the police siren of his car going off and slowly cocks his head to the side as he saw that his police car was being covered by a strange green/black goop and his car roared at him angrily before driving off by itself as the police officer slowly blinked in pure disbelief. Meanwhile, at Ben's house, we see the young wielder of the Omnitrix preparing for his and Vanessa's first date as he was checking himself on the mirror, but frowned as he groaned at his appearance and sighed miserably.

"Great, my shirt is wrinkled, my hair looks stupid, and I have a zit the size of Kansas." Ban ranted nervously while pulling back his hair to reveal an impressively large zit on his forehead.

"Yeah, that is one big zit, alright."

"Aah!" Ben screamed in fright as he turns around and saw Kevin smirking at him as he enters his room and crosses his arms. "What the?! How did you get in here!?"

"The usual way," Kevin answered nonchalantly as he pulled out his steel covered hand and used his powers to fade it away. "Incidentally, you may want to fix the hole I punch on your backdoor before your mother sees it."

"You couldn't knock?" Ben asked with his right eye twitching in irritation as Kevin sat on his chair with a relaxed expression on his face and shrugs at him.

"I sort of did."

"Has anyone ever told you that you're a strange and dangerous person?" Ben asked dryly as Kevin leaned back on his chair with his hands behind his head, not at all offended by that question.

"Constantly. But enough about me, Gwen said that you need a favor," Kevin asked with a grin as Ben flinched and sweated nervously as he coughed.

"Uh, yeah, right," Ben says while scratching his head nervously as he knew the minute he asks Kevin to give him and Vanessa a ride to the pier, he will laugh at his face. "You see, I kind of wanted to go the pier tonight…with, Vanessa."

"I bet you do," Kevin says while eyeing at him amusedly as he watched the young boy scramble to say his words.

"And since I don't have a car-"

"Or a license," Kevin said slowly...he was having way too much fun with this.

"Or a license...I was wondering if you could give us a ride to the pier."

"..."

"..."

"…Okay," Kevin says calmly while standing up as he walked over to the door, ignoring the shocked look on Ben's face.

"That's it? No, jokes? No, insults? No, blackmail?"

"Nope," Kevin said simply as he opened the door and absorbed the doorknobs metal.

"Wow, thanks!" Ben says, relieved that Kevin wasn't going to make fun of him as he was about to walk over to his closet to pick out his jacket when suddenly, Ben realizes something. He was going on a real live date with a girl, and Kevin was not making fun of him? Something fishy is going, and he knew that he didn't like it.

"Wait a minute, you're going to wait until we are in the car, and you're going to make my life miserable, are you?" Ben asked rhetorically, figuring out that his old nemesis will never agree to give him a ride unless he gets something in return as Kevin didn't say anything and looked over at Ben as he grinned evilly and walked out of the room as he closed the door, accidentally breaking the door handle in the process.

"Knob's broken," Kevin screamed from down the hall as Ben fell down on his bed and sighed heavily as he secretly wondered if Vanessa is having any trouble preparing their date like he was. Speaking off, we cue back to the RV as we see Vanessa frantically running back and forth the small motorhome, trying to find some clothes to wear for her date as Gwen and Sabrina watched her go worriedly.

"Uh, sis? I really think you should calm down," Sabrina says as Vanessa turned to her with a disbelief look.

"Calm down? Calm down!? I'm going on a date with Ben in 3 hours, and you expect me to calm down?!" Vanessa asked her panickily, scaring Sabrina a bit as Gwen walked over to Vanessa and placed a hand on her shoulder as she gave the Zennatrix wielder a calm look.

"Look, Vanessa, it's not that big of a deal. You hang out with Ben before, so what's make this any different?" Gwen asked as Vanessa sighed and turned around as she hugged herself shyly.

"The difference is that this time we are going out as a couple, not as friends, not as superheroes, as couples. I have never been on a real date before, what if I say something stupid?" Vanessa says worriedly as Gwen smiled at her reassuringly and hugs her.

"You won't trust me, Vanessa. You don't have anything to worry about, just be yourself and soon Ben will see how amazing a person you are" She said with a sincere smile on her face as Vanessa smiled back and hugged her gently

"Wow, no one really said that to me before, thanks. Oh and thanks for looking after Sabrina while I'm on my date"

"Of course, anything to see you and Ben happy," Gwen says.

"Good luck on your first date, sis," Sabrina says while hugging her sister by her waist as Vanessa chuckles and rubs her head.

"Thanks, sis. I'm going to need it"

"You don't have anything to worry about, Vanessa," Zeda says as Vanessa smiled at her watch.

"Thanks, Zeda," Vanessa says before heading into her closet to find out which outfit that she wears for her date as Gwen and Sabrina followed after her to help out. A few hours later, we see the boys driving up to the Rustbucket as Kevin had a calm look on his face while Ben was sweating bullets.

"Okay, lover boy, we're here, now get out."

"What do you mean?" Ben asked confusedly as Kevin rolled his eyes.

"Well, aren't you going to be a gentleman and answer her door?" Kevin asked as Ben looked at him with a surprised look. "What? I may like seeing you suffer, but I still want you and Vanessa to hit it off." Kevin says with a shrug as Ben smiled at him and goes out of the car. "But I'm still going to embarrass you on the ride there."

"Figures," Ben says with a sigh as he walked up to the door and knocked on the door as Gwen and Sabrina popped out with big grins on their faces.

"Introducing...Vanessa Cunningham!" Gwen and Sabrina said in unison while stepping out of the way to reveal Vanessa standing behind them as Ben gasped in shock at the sight of Vanessa's new look. Instead of wearing her normal attire, Vanessa was now wearing a light red blouse with a matching skirt, she was wearing a little bit of makeup to cover up her scar, and wore red/white sneakers. Vanessa smiled at Ben nervously as she walked over to him, and shyly looked away as she rubbed her arm.

"Hi."

"Hi," Ben says dumbly before shaking his head as he composed himself and smiled at her. "You look great, Vanessa."

"Thanks," Vanessa said with a cute giggle, really happy from his compliment as she pulled back her hair and smiled at him. "So, should we go?"

"Yeah, let's," Ben says as he leads Vanessa towards Kevin's car and opens the door for her. "After you,"

"Ooh, such gentlemen," Vanessa while giggling in delight as she entered the car and sat down.

"I try," Ben says with a modest tone as he got into the car, as well as the others as they all drive off.

A few minutes later, we see the gang driving across the street as Kevin looked at the rear-view mirror and saw Ben and Vanessa looking at each other but not saying anything since they were too shy to talk to each other. Sabrina looked at the both of them confusedly while sitting in between the teens as she silently asked herself why weren't they talking to each other, and Gwen thought the same thing as she sat in the passenger seat. Kevin mentally chuckled as he couldn't wait to start Ben's torture. At last, after all those years of being bested by him, he was finally going to get revenge...granted is not the same as destroying him, but it will do.

"Now remember, Benny boy, your mother, and I want you home by ten o'clock sharp or you cant go to the disco," Kevin says in a dad-like voice as Vanessa snorted and turned to a nervous-looking Ben.

"Disco?" She asked while biting back a laugh as Sabrina did the same.

"He watches a lot of reruns," Ben says with a sheepish laugh as Gwen glared at Kevin.

"Give him a break, Kevin," Gwen says as Kevin turned to her with a mischievous smirk.

"Gosh, pumpkin, what do you mean?" Kevin says while still using his 'Dad' voice as Gwen rolled her eyes.

"You know exactly what I mean. At least when Ben likes a girl, he lets her know. He asks her out. Maturity. Isn't that a novel approach?"

"...Ben's got a girlfriend! Ben's got a girlfriend! Ben's got a girlfriend!" Kevin chanted childishly before laughing as Gwen shook her head at his immaturity. Ben face-palmed in embarrassment as Sabrina patted his back, and Vanessa smiles shyly as she blushes at the thought of being called Ben's girlfriend.

---

Half an hour later, we see the gang driving up to the pier with Kevin still laughing at Ben's misery as the young Omnitrix Wielder got out of the car first and held out his hand to Vanessa, who grabbed it with a giggle as they bid their friends goodbye and they drove off as the young couple joined hand-to-hand and walked inside the pier. Unknown to the teens, however, the blob from before following them as he hid behind a lamppost, even though he was still clearly seen since the small blob was still possessing the car, and noticed that the three plumber badges that he was tracking were close by with two of them was heading east while one of them was driving off towards the north.

Deciding to follow the closest ones in his area, the blob phased out of the police car and started slithering his way towards the vacant pier in search of the two plumber badges that he was tracking. Back with Ben and Vanessa, we see the young couple walking through the entrance of the pier, and just like Ben said, the place was practically a ghost town as there was hardly anyone in sight, except for the people in charge of the rides/carnival games.

Besides the place being more empty than a library, Vanessa was still excited about the upcoming date. She still couldn't believe what was happening right now. A couple of weeks ago, she and Sabrina were living off on their own, trying her very best to survive the cold nights, and here she was going on a date with a boy of all things! Her life has defiantly gotten better ever since she and her sister met Ben and the others, and she couldn't express how grateful she is to them. Who knows how her life would have turned out if Sherriff Manson hadn't arrested her that day. She owes a lot to that man…even though one of his deputies ran her over like a deer on the side of the road, yeah, she was still pissed off about that.

"Listen, sorry about Kevin..." Ben says with an embarrassed look on his face as Vanessa turned to him and giggled as she placed her hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

"Don't worry about what Kevin did, Ben. I know how much of a jerk he can be. Besides, it was kind of cute to see him trying to embarrass you on our date." Vanessa says as Ben raised an eyebrow.

"Cute?" Ben asked confusedly as Vanessa nodded with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, you guys act like brothers, it's adorable." She gushes as Ben stared at her as if she grew a second head, and Vanessa rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on, don't act like you didn't think of it, Ben. Just imagine how your life will be like if Kevin was your big brother." Vanessa asks as the Omnitrix Wielder though for a moment, and several images of a younger Kevin bullying his younger self as he shuddered and shook his head in disgust/fear.

"That's a life that I WILL never want to live in," Ben said dramatically as Vanessa laughs, and Ben rolled his eyes amusedly as he looks around and hums. "What a slow night. Usually, this place is packed on the weekends," Ben says as Vanessa turned to him and smiled slyly as she linked arms with him.

"Good, then that means we can have the whole place to ourselves," Vanessa says with her usual beaming smile as Ben blushed at feeling Vanessa snuggling up to him, but smiled nonetheless as he nodded and Vanessa grins as she started pulling him over to one of the stands.

A few hours later, we see the young couple laughing at each other as they sat on a bench chair together. Wiped out from all the fun they were having as the young couple were excited about their first date and did not want it to go to waste, so they literally ran back and forth across the whole pier to try out all of the games while getting to know each other along the way.

The first thing they did was play basketball, and Vanessa was rather surprised to see Ben make all of the shots in one try as the young teenager explains to her that his grandfather taught him a few tricks when he was a kid. Anyway, when the game was finished, they went over to play Ring Toss, and Vanessa expertly threw all 5 rings into each bottle's like it was nothing. Ben looks at her astonishingly as Vanessa winked at him and told him that her Mom taught her a few tricks, which caused Ben to smirk at her as he placed his arm around her shoulder and they continued playing the game.

After picking out the stuffed monkey that Vanessa wanted, Ben had suggested playing Duck Shooting. Normally, this game will be pretty easy for anyone since the ducks were so big that if you just shoot at the center, you can take out at least 5 ducks. But sadly, unlike her mother, Vanessa was never really good with a gun. She was more of a hand-to-hand combat kind of girl. Luckily for her, however, Ben came to the rescue as he helped her with her aim...plus having Ben that close to her was a huge bonus for the young blue-haired girl.

Vanessa giggled as Ben handed her a huge stuffed panda and headed off to the next game as she was about to follow him when suddenly, she felt a whoosh coming from behind her as Vanessa raises her eyebrows and turns around but saw nothing. Vanessa narrowed her eyes suspiciously...before shrugging as she ran back over to Ben, trying to ignore the weird feeling she had been having ever since they entered the pier.

Later on, they tried out all sorts of games, including Ring the Bell, which cause Vanessa to nearly doubling over in laughter at seeing Ben trying to be 'manly' as he barely even could lift the mallet. After that, they played Balloon and Darts, which once again Vanessa excelled at as they then played Whack-a-Mole that was apparently Vanessa's favorite game because it reminds her of those old cartoons she used to watch when she was a little kid. And finally, after a whole day of laughs and games, they decided to take a rest on a nearby bench and started asking each other about their lives before they found their alien devices.

"No way! You were a cheerleader?" Ben asked Vanessa with a laugh as the blue-haired girl shrugged casually and rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, you can thank my Mom for that. She thought it will be a great idea for me to join a team and make some friends, but it didn't really work out," Vanessa says bitterly as Ben noticed this and stopped laughing as he frowned at her concernedly.

"Why? What happened?" Ben asked worriedly as Vanessa glared before grinning as she turned to Ben with a sly smirk on her face.

"Let's just say that after a certain...incident, I decided to get revenge on a couple of bitchy cheerleaders. I won't go into detail about the prank, but I will say that it involved a donkey, whip cream, balloons, and a very, very angry principal." Vanessa says with a smug look as Ben snorted at her and laughed as he laid his back on the bench.

"Where did you even get a donkey?" Ben asked with a laugh as Vanessa smirked.

"I know a guy," Vanessa says while chuckling at the memory as she looked over at Ben and tried very hard not to stare at his perfect face, especially his two big adorable green eyes as she smiled slightly at him. "Anyway, I wanted to say thanks for asking me out, Ben. I had a great time with you tonight," Vanessa said, while boldly scooting closer over to Ben as she slowly placed her head on his shoulder and sighed contently.

"Y-yeah, me too." Ben stuttered as his face instantly went red from the close contact with Vanessa as he looked down at the beauty before him, resting her tiny head on his shoulders as Ben calmed down and smiled at her warmly as he rubs her hair, and she smiled back at him...and then the cute moment was ruined thanks to the Omnitrix as it began emitting a loud beeping noise.

"Um, dude? What's wrong with your watch?" Vanessa asked while sitting upright as she covered her ears, trying in vain to block off the annoying sound as Ben smiled at her sheepishly while covering his watch.

"Oh, ah, nothing! T-that it's just an alarm to remind me to give...cotton candy! Do you like cotton candy? Good! Stay here, I will be right back!" Ben screamed as he stood up and ran off as Vanessa watched him go weirdly.

"Huh, I didn't know that our watches had an alarm."

"It doesn't," Zeda says dryly as Vanessa frowned at what her watch says and turned back over to the direction where Ben ran off as she narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Back with Ben, we see the young teen ducking behind a carnival stand as he raises his arm and glares at the still beeping watch.

"Omni, you mind telling me why you decided to interrupt our date?" Ben asked in irritation as Omni glowed lightly.

"Sorry, Ben, but I just received a distress signal from an unknown source. I'm trying to track down its signal, but the signal is to scramble for me to properly locate." Omni says as Ben raised an eyebrow and stared at his watch confusedly.

"Distress signal? From who?" Ben asked curiously as the young teen didn't notice the small blob making his way towards him and looked ahead as he saw a couple of people hitting each other with number cars. Grinning, the machine-controlling alien slithered his way over to the bumper cars, ignoring all the people that were screaming in fright at the sight of him as he started oozing its way to the nearest bumper car and merged with it.

"Well, I'm not so sure, yet, but-Huh? Wait a minute, the signal just stopped." Omni says as the annoying beeping finally stopped ringing.

"Huh, weird. Maybe the person who was sending the distress signal must've shut off his beacon for help?" Ben suggested as Omni let out an unconvinced beep.

"I'm not so sure. This whole situation is growing suspicious." Omni says.

"Agreed, but let's deal with this after the date. I'm sure it's nothing too serious." Ben says, not wanting for his date to be interrupted as Omni let out an annoyed beep, but didn't say anything else as Ben nodded in satisfaction and stood up. "Good, now let's go back to Vanessa before anything bad..." He says before stopping in mid-sentence as the sound of screaming people was heard, and Ben turned around as he saw a lone bumper car jumping over the screaming crowd, and he landed directly in front of him as he roared at Ben's face. "...that happens," Ben says deadpannedly as he quickly turned around and started running away from the living carnival ride.

The possessed bumper car growls as he chases after him, and Ben cursed under his breath as he tried to elude the living bumper car by jumping over a row of trashcans, but he only ran through them and continued chasing the young teenager without slowing down. Ben couldn't count how lucky he was that the pier was abandoned, or else there would have been a lot of casualties since the living bumper car apparently didn't know how to drive itself since he keeps ramming into everything. Ben would have felt sorry for the large machine if he wasn't currently trying to kill him.

"Damm, I can't keep running forever, and there is no way in hell that thing is going to stop anytime soon, I need a distraction," Ben thought to himself as he looked ahead and was surprised to see a carnival employee taking a short nap on a cart filled with cotton candy.

Ben grinned at his luck as he jumped over the cart while yelling a quick 'Sorry!' to the startled man as the living bumper car crashed against the cart and nearly fell over, but he managed to bounce back up quickly as the possed machine shook his head and tried to look around for his target, but strangely enough, he couldn't find Ben anywhere. The blob covered bumper car growled in confusion as he drove up a little bit to search for him, not knowing that Ben was dangling off a large pole, desperately trying to calm down his beating heart as he looked down and saw that the possed machine was still looking for him.

"What is this, when carnival rides attack?!" Ben whispered harshly as the animated carnival ride continued searching for him, but keeps failing, so with an annoyed beeped, he popped out an antenna from his back and used it to send out some kind of signal. Ben was confused by it until the Omnitrix started beeping again as Ben glared at it in annoyance.

"Omni!"

"Sorry! It's not me! It's the distress signal again!" Omni shouted back in frustration, annoyed at his Wielder for blaming him for the noise when it was really not his fault. Hearing the duo bicker, the living bumper car looked up and beamed as he saw Ben dangling by a pole and then revs up as he zooms off and rams into the pole.

Ben screamed as he lost his grip on the pole and started falling to his death, but thankfully, he was saved by the bumper car as he drove towards him and caught the young Omnitrix Wielder just in time. Ben groaned in pain from the rough landing as he tried to sit up, but then yelped as the possessed bumper car suddenly roars and drove off as Ben carefully placed his hand on the side of the ride and slowly sat up from his chair as he looked ahead and saw that the living bumper car was now making his way out of the pier.

"Okay, I am so over this!" Ben says as he jumped out of the bumper car and landed on the ground as the living bumper car quickly made a U-turn, and glares at Ben as the young teen smirked at him and took off his jacket as he started waving it around.

"Hey, rust bucket! Bombo, bombo, andale!" Ben shouted while imitating a matador as the animated bumper car huffed in annoyance and charged at him like a wild bull. Ben smirked as the living bumper drove towards him at alarming speeds and was about to run him over, when suddenly, Ben pulled back his jacket to reveal a fire hydrant as the animated carnival ride beeped in shock and the next he knew, the possessed bumper car crashed against the fire hydrant and flew off into the air before landing on the ground as it broke apart like an egg dropped from the ceiling.

"I hope there is a simple explanation, but I kind of doubt it," Ben says with a shrug as he puts on his jacket and walked off to find Vanessa, not knowing that the blob creature survived the crash as he started slithering off to find his next target.

"Where is he?" Vanessa asked herself concernedly while waiting for Ben as she was resting her body against the bench.

Normally, most girls will be annoyed to wait for their dates this long, but for Vanessa, she was more worried than annoyed right now. Ben was gone for at least 30 minutes by now, and he hasn't shown up yet. Vanessa hummed nervously as she considered getting up from the bench to search for him, but luckily, she didn't have to as Vanessa saw an exhausted Ben running over to her while carrying two cotton candy in his hand.

"Hey, there you are!" Vanessa says with a smile as she stood up and approached a panting Ben as she eyed him confusedly. "Where were you? You were gone for like half an hour." Vanessa says as Ben caught his breath and smiled at her nervously.

"Sorry, Van, you wouldn't believe the line! It was like waaaaaay too long!" Ben says with his left eye twitching as Vanessa raised an eyebrow at him and crossed her arms.

"...Ben, there's nobody here, but us," Vanessa says dryly as Ben sweatdropped nervously and chuckled weakly as he mentally kicked himself for his lame excuse.

"Uh...except at the concession stand where they doing huge business!" Ben lied with his left eye still twitching as Vanessa narrowed her eyes at him suspiciously before sighing as she shook her head.

"Okay, that was the most ridiculous excuse I have ever heard in my life, but I'm going to let it slide since you brought the cotton candy like you said you would," Vanessa says while taking one of the cotton candy's from his hands as Ben sighed in relief and took a bite from his cotton candy as he silently wondered how that carnival ride came to life and also wondered who was sending out the distress signal. So many questions roam around his head, and he was determined to find out what was going...after his date with Vanessa, of course.

---

A few minutes later, we see the young couple walking down the pier as Ben was in the middle of telling Vanessa one of his famous alien battles when he was a little kid, but Vanessa wasn't really listening. Not because she was bored, mind you, she always loves it when Ben tells her about his adventures, but Vanessa notices that Ben seems to be acting rather odd lately.

Usually, Ben will tell his stories with great emotion and excitement, but he doesn't seem that much into it, and Ben was also looking over his shoulder, acting like if something was going to attack them any minute. Frowning worriedly, Vanessa was about to call out on his weird behavior, when suddenly, the young teenage girl stops in her tracks as she heard a whoosh sound coming from behind her and turned around as she saw a small figure running behind a carnival stand.

"Hey, Vanessa! You coming?" Ben asked as he noticed that his date had stopped walking.

"I-uh, think I left my phone back at the bench. I'll catch up to you later!" Vanessa says as Ben raised his eyebrow at her but nodded nonetheless as he waved her off.

"Okay, good luck finding your phone!" Ben says while running off as Vanessa waved at him goodbye before getting a serious look on her face as she walks over to where the figure was last seen and stealthily made her way over to the carnival stand while ignoring the weird look the carny was giving her.

Remaining as quiet as a mouse, Vanessa bends down as she started crawling over to where the figure was hiding, and the young heroine could see the faint outline of the figure, but there wasn't enough light to properly see its face. Narrowing her eyes, Vanessa let out a battle cry as she leaped towards the mysterious figure and tackled him/her into the ground as she glared at her mysterious stalker...before gasping in shock as she saw her sister Sabrina lying below her.

"Uh...hi," Sabrina says sheepishly while smiling at her weakly as Vanessa stared at her in disbelief.

"What the heck?! Sabrina!? What on earth are you doing here!?" Vanessa asked while letting go of Sabrina as the young girl gave her a nervous look.

"Uh…would you believe that I came here for the cotton candy?" Sabrina asked while chuckling nervously as Vanessa gave her an unamused look and crossed her arms at her with a fierce glare as Sabrina flinched and sighs as she looks down guiltily. "Okay, okay, so I may have sneaked out of Kevin's car and followed you guys throughout your entire date."

"I can't believe you would do something like this! How did you even sneak out of Kevin's car without him and Gwen noticing?" Vanessa asked as even though she was scared of fearing her sister's wrath, Sabrina couldn't help but to smirk proudly at herself as we cue back over to Kevin's car, where we see Kevin driving on a freeway while Gwen sat beside him reading a book.

"Hey, Kevin? Can you check to see if Sabrina is fine? She hasn't said a word for an hour." Gwen says as Kevin nodded and looked at the rear-view mirror as he saw a large potato sack with a badly drawn smiley face resting upon the back seat of his car while wearing a blue-haired wig and Sabrina's clothes.

"She's fine, she is just taking a nap," Kevin says as Gwen nodded and went back to her reading as Kevin continued driving. Back with Sabrina, we see her grinning at her accomplishment as she felt rather proud of being able to trick a couple of teenagers, but then she deflated a little bit at the sight of her sister's angry gaze.

"Look, I'm sorry, okay. I didn't mean to make you worry. I just wanted to see how your date turns out. I'm sorry for making you mad," Sabrina says solemnly while bowing her head as she was trying very hard not to cry. Seeing this, Vanesa's face softens as she sighs and bends down as she wiped away her little sister's tears and smiled at her warmly.

"Look, Sabrina, I'm touched that you care so much about me, but what you did was really dangerous," Vanessa said with a motherly tone as she then picked Sabrina up and walked over to a nearby bench as she sat down and placed Sabrina in her lap as the young teen sniffled and looked up at her sister with a regretful look.

"I know, please don't be angry at me,"

"Ah, I can never be mad at you, kid. Your too cute to be angry at," Vanessa said while tickling Sabrina's stomach, causing the 9-year-old to giggle as Vanessa hugged her and kissed Sabrina on her forehead. "I love you so much, Sabrina, and I want to keep you safe. You're the only family I have, and I don't want to lose you anytime soon, so can you please promise me that you will never pull this stunt again?" Vanessa asked as Sabrina perked up and nodded.

"Don't worry, sis, I promise that will never do it again," Sabrina said while hugging her sister as Vanessa laughed softly and ruffled her hair. "…So does that mean I'm not grounded?"

"Oh, no, you are defiantly grounded, young lady."

"Aw, man!" Sabrina whined while letting go of her sister as she crossed her arms with a pout. Vanessa laughed at the face she made before kissing her forehead as Vanessa stood up while grabbing onto her sister as he smiled at her.

"Come on, I will buy you cotton candy, and then we will go over to Ben so he can call Kevin to pick you up,"

"Okay!" Sabrina says, instantly perking up at the mention of cotton candy as Vanessa laughed at her sister's eagerness and started making her way to the nearest cotton candy stand, but then stopped as the Zennatrix begin emitting a loud beeping noise. "Uh, Vanessa? What's wrong with Zeda?" Sabrina asked while covering her ears as Vanessa stared at her watch curiously.

"Hmmm, interesting. It's beeping loudly like the Omnitrix did earlier. That can't be a coincidence. Zeda? What's going on?" Vanessa asked while placing Sabrina down as the Zennatrix glowed a bit.

"I'm not sure. I've just now received a distress signal from a nearby unknown source." Zeda says as Vanessa blinked in confusion.

"Distress signal? From who?"

"Don't know, let me check," Zeda says as Vanessa nodded and the girls waited for Zeda to finish her search, unaware of a small blob-like creature slithering behind them as he turned his head and saw an old carousel standing a few feet away from him as his tail wagged in excitement and started slithering his way towards the carousel. "Search failed. I'm unable to trace the distress signal. It's too scrambled for me to properly lock onto it." Zeda says as the girls pouted.

"That's a bummer. Hmmm, maybe we can have Ben's A.I. help out and-"

"Aaahhhh!" A loud scream rang out, startling the girls as they turned around and raised an eyebrow at him confusedly as they saw a small blob creature climbing up the carousel and he began searching for the nearest horse he could find to fuse with, but sadly for him, all he could find was a unicorn.

Annoyed, the small blob groaned as he sighed heavily and shake his head as he realized what he needed to do and reluctantly decided to merge with the unicorn ride. The girls stared at the scene, flabbergasted, as they saw the small blob oozing on the entire front half of the mechanical unicorn ride before covering its entire body as the mechanical unicorn suddenly shook his head and let out a loud 'Neigh!' as he jumped out of the carousel, accidentally breaking the pole connecting him to the machine and was now hanging off his body.

"Okay, what the heck is that?!" Sabrina asked as the possessed unicorn notices them and lets out another neigh as he lowers his head and charges at them.

"MOVE!" Vanessa screamed as she selflessly pushed her little sister away to safety just as the possessed unicorn ram into her as he sends her flying through the cotton candy stand. Sabrina could only stare in shock as she saw her big sister being run over by the possessed carnival ride and she was about to scream her head off when suddenly a flash of purple appeared and before Sabrina could comprehend what happened, a purple blur appeared as it dashed towards the possed carnival ride, and punches his face at the speed of Mach 3 as it sends him flying away.

"What just happened?" Sabrina asked herself confusedly before yelping as a gust of wind appears and grabs her by her waist as she suddenly appears on the other side of the pier. Blinking, Sabrina looked around and gasped in happiness as she saw Hyper-Bolt standing before her.

"Vanessa, it's you! You're okay!" Sabrina says while hugging her in relief as Hyper-Bolt smiled down at her and hugged her back.

"Yeah, Zeda managed to transform me into Hyper-Bolt before I received any serious damage. Thanks for that, by the way, Z."

"You're welcome," Zeda says as Hyper-Bolt then looks down at Sabrina and patted her head.

"Now, sit tight while I deal with the haunted carnival ride," Hyper-Bolt says with a smirk as she speeded off, leaving behind a dust trail as Sabrina looks towards the direction where the alien speedster ran off and secretly wishes her sister good luck in her fight. Meanwhile, with the possessed unicorn, we see him looking around confusedly as he wondered where they did they ran off to, but he didn't need to wait long as Hyper-bolt suddenly appeared in front of him and grins at the startled animated carnival ride.

"Hello!~," Vanessa greeted with a grin as the possessed unicorn glares at her and lets out an angry neigh as Hyper-Bolt smirked. "So, I don't think we been properly introduced. Hi, my name is Hyper-bolt, and you are?" She asked as the angry carnival ride ignored her and charges at her with his horn raised high in the air. "Not in the mood for talking, huh? Fine, have it your way!" Hyper-Bolt screamed as she speeded off towards the animated machine at supersonic speeds, and easily avoided his horn slice as she turned around and roundhouse kicks him aside, but the possessed unicorn recovered quickly as he stood up and his horn started glowing green as he began shooting energy bolts at her.

At first, Hyper-bolt was surprised to see the possessed unicorn shooting green energy bolts but composed herself quickly as she swiftly dodges the incoming lasers and charges towards the animated machine as she raises her dinosaur-like hands to slice off the possessed unicorn's head, but then suddenly she lets out a grunt of pain as she crashed against a green energy shield made by the living carnival ride and fell down on the ground as she moans.

"Ow, okay, that hurt," Hyberbolt says while rubbing her head as she looks up and saw the possessed unicorn glaring down at her as his horn charged up with green energy. "You know, when I was a little girl, I used to be scared of the merry-go-around...and apparently I still am!" Vanessa says with a scared tone as the possessed unicorn blasted her at point-blank range and launched her to a nearby wall. Hyper-Bolt moaned in pain as she tried to sit up, but the pain was unbearable, and she could barely move as she fell down and the possessed machine noticed this as he started slowly approaching her. "Zeda, if you have any idea on how to take this guy down, I am open to suggestions, girl."

"Hmmm, I may have an idea. If you cant get to fight it in close combat, then try some long-range attacks,"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, if you run around it at high speeds, you will able to charge up enough energy to fire a lighting blast!"

"Wait a minute, you mean I had the power to launch lighting bolts this entire time, and you're telling me this now!?"

"I thought you knew. I mean, why else will you call this form Hyper-Bolt?"

"Well, that's because...uh...you know what? Let's just finish this guy off," Vanessa grumbles as she stood up in a crouch position while groaning in pain a little bit as she took off at surprising speeds and appeared beside the living machine's side as she slowly started running around him at high speeds.

The possessed unicorn was confused by her actions as he tried to hit her, but she was going to fast for him as time seems to be slowing down for Vanessa, who had finally generated enough friction to produce electricity as she let out a mighty yell and launched a medium size lighting bolt towards the animated carnival ride and the world resumed back to normal time as the possessed unicorn got hit by the lighting blast and blew up.

Hyper-Bolt let out an astonished laugh, hardly believing what she did as she raised her hands and cheered in victory, not knowing that the small blob creature miraculously survived the explosion and was now slithering its way back towards the pier. Vanessa's little victory party was then cut-short as she saw her little sister running over to her while panting from the long run as she looked up to her big sister and smiled proudly.

"You did it, Vanessa! You beat it!"

"Yeah, I did, but I don't think we're done," Hyper-Bolt says as Sabrina blinks at her in surprise.

"What? What are you talking about? You destroyed it, its history!"

"Trust me, Sabrina, when your out fighting aliens, it's never that easy. Whatever that thing was that took over that carnival ride, he was dead set on attacking me, and I'm pretty sure he's coming back,"

"You might be right on that, Vanessa," Zeda says grimly as Vanessa transformed back to normal, and both girls stared down at the Zennatrix curiously. "When you finished your fight with the possessed carnival ride, I saw the same blob that took over the machine surviving the explosion, and it's now currently heading straight into the pier," Zeda says as Vanessa gasped in horror.

"Oh, no! There still some people there, we must find Ben and tell him what's going! We need all the help we can get to stop that technological parasite!" Vanessa shouted as Sabrina nodded at her firmly, and the girls began racing towards the pier to find Ben.

---

Meanwhile, with Ben, we see the young teen using his phone to check the time as he stood beside a carnival ride that resembles a U.S. Jet Fighter. Ben sighed as he leaned his back against a pillar and wondered when Vanessa is coming back. It's been roughly twenty-five minutes since Vanessa left to get her phone, and he started to get worried. It doesn't take that long for someone to find their phone, so why is she taking so long?

His mind then started drifting a little bit as he thought, what if she was attacked by that thing that chased him down earlier on? He wasn't entirely sure that he took down the possessed carnival ride, so what if it left him and went after her? Thankfully he didn't have to worry anymore as he heard someone calling out his name and saw Vanessa running towards him with Sabrina running close beside her.

"Vanessa, there you are! I was starting to get worried for you. Did you found your phone?" Ben asked before noticing Sabrina standing beside Vanessa as Ben blinked in surprise. "What the heck? Sabrina, what are you doing here?"

"Ben, I know you are confused, but right now we are in big trouble!" Vanessa says as Ben looked at her worriedly and asked her what happened. While Vanessa was busy retelling him the events that transpired a few minutes ago, none of them notice the small parasite-like creature from before crawling his way to the 'Jet Fighter' carnival ride as he shook his tail in preparation and phased into the machine. "…and then I threw a lightning bolt at him, and he blew up into a billion pieces! After the battle was done, Sabrina caught up with me, and Zeda told us that she saw the blob creature surviving the explosion and that he's heading his way here!" Vanessa said it all in one breath as Ben looked at her wide-eyed before getting a thoughtful look on his face as he put his hand on his chin and stared off into space.

"So, that green blob is the cause of all these problems, huh? First, he attacked me, and now he attacked you, it seems that whatever that thing is, he's targeting us for a reason."

"Yeah, and I was thinking that we should evacua-Wait a minute, you were also attacked by that thing? When?" Vanessa asked suspiciously while placing her hands on her hips as Ben mentally kicked himself for what he said and tried to make an excuse.

"Well, I-uh…okay, fine, that thing attacked me a while back, when the Omnitrix started beeping," Ben says defeatedly as Vanessa stared at him silently, not believing that he will keep this a secret from her as she was about to open her mouth, but Ben cuts her off. "Now I know that I should have told you about this, but this was our first date together, and I didn't want to ruin it by talking about alien stuff," Ben said softly as Vanessa continued staring at him, not saying anything as Ben continued talking.

"I know that if I would have told you about the attack, you would have been worried and called off the date. This is our first time together as a normal couple, and I didn't want it to be interrupted by this blob thing. Vanessa, I'm really sorry for not telling you about this. I knew that it was a rotten move to do but-" He said, before stopping mid-sentence as Vanessa walked over to him and kissed his cheek. Ben blushed madly at the sudden kiss and froze, not knowing what to do as his brain went numb for a minute. A few seconds later, Vanessa pulled back and gently placed her hand on his chest as she looks up to him, and smiled warmly while having a small blush on her face.

"Ben, you are very sweet, and I understand why you didn't tell me, but what about the other people on the pier? There may be not a lot of people here, but still, there are enough that can get hurt by that blob creature. I know that you wanted to have a normal date with me. Trust me, I want that too, but we are heroes, and we have a responsibility to protect these people from alien threat's, even if it means skipping out on important events," Vanessa says as Ben thought deeply about she said and realized that she was right, by not telling her about the alien attack he would have endangered a lot of people.

"Your right. I'm sorry for not telling you about this. That was a selfish thing to do. Can you forgive me?" He asked as Vanessa smiled up to him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"It's okay, I forgive you. Besides, just because we have to end a date early doesn't mean that we can't have more," Vanessa says as Ben stared at her with a surprised look.

"You really want to have a second date with me?"

"Defiantly," Vanessa said while staring at him lovingly as she slowly leaned over to him to kiss him again, but she got interrupted by Zeda and Omni.

"Hey, sorry for interrupting the mood, kids," Omni started.

"But you might want to look behind of you," Zeda finished as the trio turned around and gasped as they saw the alien symbiote taking control of the 'Jet Fighter' ride as he ripped himself from the stage and glared down at them.

"Holy crap!" Vanessa screamed as the symbiote pulled back his hands…er, I mean wings and swung it down at them.

"This way!" Ben screamed as he grabbed Vanessa and Sabrina's hand and led them to safety as the giant jet ride slammed his wing on the spot they used to stand in. Growling in annoyance, the possessed carnival ride tried to chase after them, but then he found out that he was still stuck to the stage as he growled and tried to unstick himself from the stage.

"Well, this is quite an exciting date," Vanessa quipped as she, Ben, and Sabrina ran behind a large tent for cover. "What's the plan, Benji?" She asked as Ben looked over his shoulder and saw that the symbiote was now trying to use his jets to try and free himself from the stage.

"Okay, that thing is almost close to being free, so we need to act fast. I will try to distract that thing, and when I'm doing that, Vanessa, I need you to evacuate as much as people as you can."

"You can count on me!" Vanessa said while giving him a thumbs-up as Sabrina glances up at Ben curiously.

"What about me?" Sabrina asked, wanting to help as Ben gave her a sympathetic look.

"Sorry, Sabrina, but it's too dangerous for you to be around here. I'm going to have to need you to hide somewhere," Ben said as he activated the Omnitrix and started scrolling down the list to find a proper alien to deal with the possessed carnival ride.

"But-"

"Don't worry, let me and your big sister handle this," Ben said as he finally found the right alien to use and raised his hand. "This looks like a job for Jetray!" Ben says as he was about to slam his hand down on the alien watch, but at that moment, the symbiote finally released himself from the stage, thanks to his rockets as he flew off with a sonic boom.

Causing the pier to shake a little bit as Ben and the girls nearly lost their footing, and the hologram of Jetray frizzled a little bit before turning into another alien as Ben smacked his hand down on his watch and a flash of green light occurred. The girls quickly shut their eyes to avoid being blinded by the bright flash as the green glow disappeared, and the girls were stunned to see a crab-like alien standing in front of them instead of Jetray.

"Uh, I'm not Jetray. I'm a seafood platter," Ben says in a British accent as he observed his new alien form and hummed thoughtfully. "And apparently one possessed of a highly advanced intellect,"

"Well, of course. The Cerebrocrustacean's has always been regarded as one of the most intelligent species in most galaxies." Omni says.

"But not as smart as Galvan's, of course," Zeda said smugly.

"Of course, no one can be smart as a Galvan," Omni says, equally as smug as the crab-like alien thought deeply about what the A.I. said and nodded in appreciation.

"Thanks for the information, Omnitrix's A.I. Now for my designated name, I was thinking of assigning this new life-form a more apropos name de guerre, what say…Brainstorm!" The newly named Brainstorm screamed while generating electricity from his brain as he turned his head over to the girls and pointed his pincers over at Vanessa. "Now, young Cunningham, can you be a dear and evacuate as much as people as you can while I distract the animated contraption."

"You got it!" Vanessa said enthusiastically as Brainstorm nodded to her and scurried off. "Okay, Sabrina, you know what to do?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. Good luck with defeating the monster!" Sabrina grumbled, still annoyed that she couldn't help as she ran off."Okay, now that I know that she is safe, it's time to Alien Up!" Vanessa shouted as she activated her Zennatrix and scrolled through her playlist as she found the alien that she wanted and slammed her hand down at the core as a purple glow covered and once it dies down, we see Sound Wave crouching on the ground as she duplicated herself to four and gave all of her clones a strict look as she places her hands on her hips.

"All right, you all heard, Ben, we have a mission to do! But remember girls, we can't let the humans see any of us or else they will freak out, so we will work in the shadows, got it!"

"Yep!"

"Sir, yes, sir!"

"You're the boss,"

"Wait, what are we talking about again?" The last clone asked, causing the others to give her a blank look as she rubbed her neck and blushed embarrassedly at their stares. "Sorry, I was distracted by that bird over there?" She said while pointing over to a trashcan, where they saw a stray pelican eating through the trash.

"…Anyway, move out!" The original shouted as they all nodded to her and ran off.

Back with Brainstorm, we see him walking in front of the flying carnival ride as he stared down at him for a few seconds before skyrocketing down as Ben's eyes widen in surprise, and crosses his arms in an attempt to protect himself, but it didn't work as the possessed carnival harshly flew up and the shockwave from the speed of his flight hit the Omnitrix Bearer at full force and sends him flying through the air as he crashed down on the floor.

While Ben was busy trying to get his bearings back, we see the Original Soundwave standing on top of a carnival tent to get a better view of the pier as her clones were scattered around the pier in pairs of two. Vanesa looked around as she saw a 60-year-old man trying to get his foot unstuck from the floorboards as he screamed for his nephew, a 13-year-old boy with curly hair, to help him, but the young teen was too busy listening to music to notice what was going on.

"Clone 3, Clone 4, there is an old man stuck in between the floorboards near your area!" She screamed while speaking through her Zennatrix as her clones nodded to her and ran off to help the old man.

The old man struggled to free his leg as he was about to call out for help when suddenly he saw two white aliens appear out of nowhere as one of them lifted him up by his shoulders while the other one walked in front of him as she clenched her fists and punched through the floorboards, causing the floorboards to crack as the old man lifted his feet and stared down at the white aliens with frightful eyes.

"You're welcome!" Clone 3 and 4 said in unison as they playfully saluted at him and ran off to find other people to help. The old man starred at their retreating forms dumbfounded as he looked over at his nephew and wondered if he saw the same exact thing he saw, but much to his annoyance, he was still engrossed with his music. Back with Ben, we see him groaning in pain as he stood up from the ground and glared up to the flying carnival ride as his brain crackled with electricity.

"Now, I am most decidedly miffed!" Brainstorm says as he opened up his cranium and launched multiple lighting bolts at his adversary, but sadly for him, the symbiote was way faster than he thought as he dodges all of the lighting blasts with ease and smirked down at him. "What the deuce?!" He screamed in disbelief as the possessed carnival ride pulled back and fired green laser blasts at him as Brainstorm thought quickly and closed his eyes as he summoned an electrical shield to protect himself from the incoming projectiles. Back over at Vanessa, we see her looking over at the west side of the pier, where she saw a young couple trying to make their way through the pier, but their path towards the exit was blocked off by two giant poles that fell over when the pier suffered a minor earthquake.

"Clone 1, Clone 2, clear a path by the exit!" The Original Soundwave commanded as her clones nodded to her and ran over to the exit.

The clones hid behind a few trashcans as they focused their sights on the crashed poles and let out dual sonic screams that instantly destroyed the poles and cleared a path for the young couple, who were confused by this, but quickly shook off their shock as they grabbed each other's hands and ran off to safety. The clones cheered and high-fived each other as they ran off to help more people while hiding in the shadows like ninjas. With Ben, we see him straining himself to maintain his shield as the symbiote continued firing at him like there was no tomorrow and the crab-like alien groaned as his shield disappeared, and the symbiote was about to blast at him again when suddenly its scanner picked up a small human hiding behind a dumpster a few feet away from it.

The symbiote's curiosity was peeked as he left Brainstorm and floated down at the ground where the small human was hiding as he blasted the dumpster away and closed in on the small human, who turned out to be Sabrina as she screamed in shock at the sight of the giant carnival ride and raised her arms in fear as she waited for her incoming doom…but it never came? Slowly opening her eyes, Sabrina was surprised to see the symbiote staring down at her like a confused puppy as the young girl was confused by this but then was relieved to see Brainstorm using his electrical powers to bring her over to him as he walked in front of her and held out his hands protectively.

"Don't worry, young Sabrina, I will protect you from this mechanical menace!" Brainstorm screamed as we cue back over to the Original Soundwave, who heard Ben's shout and saw the possessed carnival ride closing in on them.

"Girls, Sabrina is in trouble! Regroup at the center of the pier!" Vanessa screamed while jumping out of the tent as the rest of the clones heard her command and instantly made their way to the center of the pier.

Sabrina closed her eyes and screamed in fear as the symbiote close in on them, but Ben had it covered as he focused all of his energy into one giant electrical blast and fired it at the flying carnival ride. Luckily his aim was spot on as it hit the symbiote dead on and caused him to crash against another carnival ride as he skidded across the boardwalk before falling into the ocean as Brainstorm and Sabrina slowly made their way over to the ledge of the pier, and they looked down as they saw the symbiote glaring up at them before getting submerged into the sea as Brainstorm smirked.

"And good riddance, might I say," Brainstorm said smugly before transforming back to normal as he looks over at Sabrina, who seem to be shaken after the whole ordeal as he gave her a worried look. "Hey, you okay, Sabrina?"

"Yeah, I'm okay...thanks for protecting me, Ben," Sabrina says as Ben smiled.

"Anytime," He said with a grin as Sabrina smiled shyly at him and was about to say something, when suddenly the whole pier shook and, much to their horror, the symbiote miraculously survive the crash as he had now taken control of the giant ride that it crashed against to.

"Seriously!? He's still alive!?" Ben screamed in major disbelief as the symbiote pulled back its arms and swung at them as Ben quickly dodge the attack, but Sabrina wasn't so lucky as the machine grabbed her and lifted her into the air.

"AAAAH! BEN, HELP ME!"

"SABRINA! DONT WORRY, I WILL GET YOU DOWN!" Ben screamed as he tries to activate his Omnitrix, but the symbiote wouldn't let him have it as he swung his arm down and started striking down the pier repeatedly as the pier instantly broke down from his strikes, and Ben yelped as he nearly fell off the boardwalk, but was lucky enough to grab a wooden plank before he fell into the ocean as he dangled in the air.

"BEN, SAVE ME! BEN! BEEEEEEEENNNNN!" Sabrina screamed as the symbiote made his getaway with Sabrina in his grasp.

"SABRINA, NOOOOO!" Ben screamed in horror as the only thing he could do was watch as Sabrina was being forcefully dragged off by the symbiote and disappeared into the city, located on the other side of the shore. "I can't believe this happening! All I wanted was to have a normal date with a girl and now I have to watch as my girlfriend's sister being kidnapped by a machine controlling parasite! Can this day get any worse!" Ben screamed in exasperation and at that moment, the wooden plank he was hanging from started creaking.

"...man this is just not my night," Ben says deadpannedly as the wooden plank couldn't support his weight anymore and instantly snapped off, causing Ben to scream as he was about to fall into the ocean when suddenly Sound Wave came running in as she grabbed his hand just before he falls off into the sea as Vanessa struggled to lift him and her clones instantly showed up to help her as they all pulled. With their combined strength, they were able to pull Ben back to the boardwalk as Sound Wave panted heavily and her clones phased into her as she transformed back to normal with a flash of light.

"Oh, man, that was close. I could have been a goner," Ben said, before turning over to Vanessa, who was lying on the ground trying to catch her breath as Ben smiled at her gratefully. "Thank you, Vanessa, you just saved my life," Ben says as Vanessa smiled at him weakly.

"Don't mention it. Anyway, did you manage to defeat the green blob?" Vanessa asked as Ben winced and bends his head down in shame as he frowned sadly.

"I'm sorry, Vanesa. I tried everything I could, but he got away...with Sabrina in his grasp,"

"WHAT!?" Vanessa asked in shock while standing up from the ground as all tiredness from before instantly faded of thought of her sister's kidnapping. "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!"

"Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa, look at me!" Ben screamed as he grabbed her shoulders and forced her to look at him as he gave her a determined look. "I promise you with all my heart that we will get your sister back!"

"How? We don't know where he went. He could be anywhere."

"There is no need to panic, Vanessa. We can easily find your sister by following the trail of destruction the symbiote left behind." Zeda says as Vanessa looked on ahead and saw that the giant carnival had left giant-sized craters with every step he took.

"Zeda is right! We can follow the trail that it left into the city! There is still a chance to save Sabrina! Come on, Ben!" Vanessa screamed while running past him as she ran over to the ledge of the pier and jumped off. Ben eyes grew wide in shock as he was about to go over to the ledge to see if she survived the fall, but then, a purple light occurred and before he can react, the whole pier started shaking again as a giant whirlpool appeared out of nowhere and on top of it was Vanessa in the form of Wave Shredder.

"What are you waiting for? We gotta go!" Wave Shredder screamed as she rode off, using the whirlpool as a surfboard, leaving behind a dumbstruck Ben as he stared at her for a few seconds before shaking his head as he activated the Omnitrix and transformed into Jetray.

"Jetray!" He screamed as he jumped up in the air and flew off with a sonic boom as he easily caught up to Vanessa and flew beside her. "None of these make sense. Why are we being attacked by carnival rides? And why did he grabbed, Sabrina?"

"Don't know, don't care. All I know is that we got to save Sabrina before it does something to her!" Wave Shredder screamed with a worried look as she used her aquatic powers to zoom into the city, and Jetray followed her close behind.

With Sabrina, we see her pleading at the giant carnival ride to put her down, but he didn't listen to her as he headed straight into a highway and nearly caused a lot of drivers to crash against him. Back with the couple, we see them flying into the city as they followed the giant craters and saw the possessed carnival ride as Vanessa glared down at the slow walking carnival ride and was about to attack the giant robot, but was stopped by Ben as he flew in front of her and held out his hands.

"What are you doing!? That thing is getting away!"

"Vanessa, hold on for a second. I know your very angry, and you have every right to be but listen to me carefully. Sabrina is being held hostage by that thing, and if you try to attack it now, you might accidentally hurt her. So, can you please calm down and listen to what I have to say?" Ben asked gently, causing Vanessa's anger to soften a little bit as she took a few breaths and nodded to him. "Okay, now we can't hit the symbiote because our blasts might hurt Sabrina, right? So, how about if we try a more indirect approach. I'll swoop in to try and trap him. While I'm doing that, you will fly in and grabbed Sabrina, got it?"

"Yep!"

"Okay, wish me luck!" He said as Jetray flew past the symbiote and used his tail to shoot a couple of neuroshocks at two lampposts, causing it to creak a little bit as it slowly tilted downwards and fell on the approaching symbiote legs.

The living carnival let out a surprised beep as he bends down and tries to free his leg, but it was too heavy for him to lift. While the symbiote was distracted, Wave Shredder flew in and tried to grab Sabrina from her binds, but she wasn't fast enough as the symbiote manages to get his feet unstuck and struck her before she can get to Sabrina. Ben stared in shock as he saw Vanessa fall towards the ground and instantly flew in after herm as the symbiote took this chance to continue its journey as he headed towards the forest. Ben gritted his teeth in concentration as he flew over to the falling Vanessa and grabbed her by the waist as he turned around, and used his body to cushion their fall as they skidded across the ground and landed on the forest.

"Ow, everything hurts, thanks for breaking my fall, Ben," Wave Shredder said to Ben, who seems to be more in pain than her, but he was trying to ignore it for her sake as he looks down at her and gave her a thumbs up.

"Your welcome," Jetray said with a strained smile as Vanessa smiled back as she was about to say something when suddenly a very familiar sound was heard throughout the freeway.

"LET ME GO! LET ME GO, YOU BIG BULLY!" Sabrina screamed from deep in the forest as Vanessa looked over at Ben, and they both nodded as she helped Ben sat up, and instantly they took off to the skies. With Sabrina, we see her screaming and thrashing loudly as she struggled to get free from the symbiote's grip, all fear from before instantly went away at the sight of him hurting her big sister.

"LET ME GO! I SAID, LET ME GO! YOU ARE JUST A BIG BULLY, JUST LIKE MY DADDY! HE ALWAYS PICKED ON MY SISTER, AFTER MOMMY WAS GONE! I ALWAYS WATCH HIM BEAT UP MY SISTER, AND I DID NOTHING BECAUSE SHE TOLD ME NOT TO INTERVENE! WELL, I AM DONE SITTING AT THE SIDELINES, AND I AM DONE BEING AFRAID OF YOU! SO. PUT. ME...Down?" Sabrina screamed before blinking in confusion as the symbiote suddenly stopped walking and gently places her on the ground as he then bends down and started waging his butt excitedly as Sabrina stared at him quizically. "What the?"

"GOTCHA!" Two screams were heard as Sabrina looked up and saw her sister and Ben floating on top of the symbiote with their eyes glowing with green/purple energy. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH, SABRINA?!

"Guys, wait! I'm over here! I'm fine!" Sabrina screamed while waving her hands around as the young couple heard her screamed and looked down.

"Sabrina! You're okay!" Vanessa screamed in relief as she flew down, and transforms back to normal as she runs over to her and hugs her tightly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. But are you okay? That was a rather nasty hit,"

"Don't worry, I took worst hits than that, and besides, Ben saved me before I hit the ground!" Vanessa said as Ben floated down towards them and reverts back to his normal form.

"Sabrina, I am so glad that you're okay. I'm sorry that I couldn't save you in time," Ben says apologetically as Sabrina smiled up at him.

"It's okay. I know you did everything you could," Sabrina said before backing up in shock as the possessed carnival ride lean's over them and started glowing.

"SHIP! SHIP! SHIP! SHIP!"

"Excuse me, we were talking here,"

"No, Ben, I think it's trying to tell you something," Sabrina said as the symbiote nodded and pointed over at the left as Ben and the girls looked over at where he was pointing at and saw a nearly destroyed alien ship resting upon on a large crater.

"SHIP! SHIP! SHIP!"

"Ship? You brought us out here to find that spaceship, right?" Ben asked as the symbiote nodded and phased out of the machine.

"I can't believe it, all of this trouble just because he wants us to find its wrecked spaceship," Vanessa said as she puts her hand on her forehead in disbelief.

"Actually, this is all starting to make sense," Zeda said with Omni beeping in agreement as the teens started making their way towards the spaceship.

"Zeda is right. Remember the distress call that I told you about earlier, Ben? Well, the signal is starting to becoming more clearer, and it turned out to be emitting from the small creature that has been attacking you and Vanessa." Omni says.

"Then that means that the creature wasn't really trying to attack you, but he was trying to lead you to the ship," Zeda says as the group nodded in understanding made it over to the crater as they saw a Galvanic Mechamorph resting upon the wrecked ship and seems to be trapped by a ceiling beam as it also appears to be in pain.

"...Wait, I have seen that thing before," Ben says as everyone turned to him in surprise.

"You did?" Vanessa asked while starring at the alien that seems to be trapped on the ship by a red force-field.

"Kind of, I used to able to turn into one of those. I called myself Upgrade," Ben says as Vanessa nodded and looked down at her Zennatrix.

"Yo, Zeda, you mind explaining what type of alien this is?"

"Sure, he is a Galvanic Mechamorph. They're a type of sub-species that were created by our father many years ago. They have a unique ability to be able to control and manipulate technology." Zeda explains as the green/black blob suddenly appeared and shape-shifted himself back into his dog form as he beeped happily and rubbed his face on Sabrina's leg.

"Oh, this is starting to make sense. This little guy is a Galvanic Mechamorhp like he is. That's how he's able to control machines." Vanessa says while pointing at the blob, who was still rubbing against Sabrina's leg.

"Huh, now that you say it, he does look like a mini-Upgrade," Ben says as Sabrina picked up the small blob from the floor and started giggling as he licked her face with his tongue.

"Aww, he is so cute...wait, you are a boy, right?" Sabrina asked the green blob, who shrugged at her as he wasn't completely sure of the answer himself.

"Please..." A small voice rang out as the kids, and the symbiote turned around and saw the Galvanic Mechamorph reaching out to them with a pained look on his face. "Please help me-Aaaaaaaah!" He said before screaming in pain as the force-field electrocuted him, and he fell down unconscious.

"He needs our help!" Vanessa said as she reached her hand towards him, but Ben stops her.

"Get any closer to that energy shield, and you will fry like a potato!" He warned her as the symbiote jumped out of Sabrina's hands and slithered over to Ben as he rubbed his legs and whines like a wounded dog to get his attention. Ben and the others looked down at the small alien dog as he shape-shifted into a smaller version of the ship and blew up before reforming himself as everyone raised an eyebrow at him.

"Okay, now I know he wants to tell us something," Vanessa says as Ben looked over at the small screen on the alien space ship and noticed that it was blinking really fast as he squinted his eyes and gasped in shock/horror as his eyes widen in realization.

" It's a countdown! That thing is going to explode!" Ben screamed as he brought out the Omnitrix and slammed his hand down on it as a flash of green light occurred, and the trio took a couple of steps back as Ben transformed himself into-

"Humungousaur!" Ben shouted while letting out a mighty roar that could be heard across the forest.

Narrowing his eyes in determination, Humungousaur charges towards the alien ship and braces himself as he walked through the force-field, enduring the pain that it was causing to him as he runs past the knocked-out Mechamorph and tore off the bomb from the ship, thus disabling the force-field as he ran into the field and threw the large bomb into space like if it was a baseball. Knowing the shockwave of the blast was going to hit them at any moment, Ben ran over to the girls and shielded them as the bomb went off and sent out a massive shockwave as Humungousaur was able to shield his friends from it, thanks to his huge body as Ben looked down at his friends worriedly.

"You guys okay?" Humungousaur asked as Sabrina and Vanessa looked up to him in admiration.

"Ben! That was so cool!" Sabrina screamed with stars in her eyes as the symbiote jumped in her arms and nodded in agreement.

"I have to say, I am very impressed, Ben. Using Humungousaur natural strength and endurance, you managed to slip past the ship's force-field and throw the bomb into a safe distance! Great idea, Ben!" Vanessa says with her usual bright smile as Ben blushed heavily and rubs his neck nervously.

"Oh, shucks, it was nothing," Humungousaur says with a smile as Vanessa smiled at in amusement over his shyness.

---

A few minutes later, we see the trio standing inside of the alien ship as they walked over to the trapped alien, who had regained consciousness as Humungousaur grabbed onto the support beam and lifted it off the Galvanic Mechamorph. "Okay, there you go," He said while throwing the beam away as the alien stoop up and smiled at him.

"Yes, well as I was saying, my name is Baz-El, and before I lost consciousness, I excluded this symbiote," The Galvanic Mechamorph says while pointing at the green/black blob that was currently in Sabrina's arms. "The one you call...Ship."

"Ship!"

"Thank you and sent him to find the nearest Plumber,"

"Huh, so Omni and Zeda were right. Ship was the one who was sending out the distress signal." Vanessa says as Ben nodded, but then gained a confused look.

"But there's something I still don't get. If Ship just wanted to lead us to this ship, then why was his distress signal scrambled? And why did he attack us, wrecked the pier, and kidnapped Sabrina?" Ben asked Baz-El with Vanessa, and Sabrina glancing over at him curiously as the alien sweatdrops and rubs his neck nervously.

"He, he, sorry about that, it seems that I wasn't able to properly program the distress signal when I extracted him. As for attacking you, wrecking the pier, and kidnapping the child, Ship must've been trying to get your attention since he can't physically speak due to being a youngling." Baz-El explains as the teens nodded in understatement. "Anyway, thanks for the help, Plumbers, but now if you'll excuse me, I have to repair my warp drive," Baz-El said while turning his back towards them as he begins repairing his ship and Ben turned over to Vanessa as he gave her a look and she nodded as they smiled and turned over to Baz-El.

"Is there anything we can do to help?" Ben asked politely as Baz-El turned to him in shock, taken back at what he said as he smiled and nodded. A few minutes later, we see Ben and Vanessa standing on top of the alien space ship as they were both holding a large antenna and carefully planted it in.

"Okay, we did our part. Now we have to wait for Baz-El to do his thing," Vanessa said as Ben looked at her and gave her an apologetic look. "What?"

"Vanessa, I'm sorry about all of this. You probably think that is the worst date ever?" Ben said as Vanessa stared at him for a couple of seconds before laughing as Ben stared at her in confusion.

"What's so funny?" He asked as Vanessa stopped laughing and wiped away a tear.

"Ben, this wasn't the worst date ever,"

"Really?"

"Of course, it wasn't. This was the best date I have ever had...well, it was the first date I had, but whatever. Anyway, Ben, I don't care if we're hanging out together or kicking alien ass. All that I care about is that I can spend time with you," She said while giving him a cute smile as Ben chuckled at her and hugged her.

"You're amazing, you know that?" Ben said with a smile as Vanessa smiled back and was about to say something when suddenly her eyes widen as Ben started leaning over to her and kissed her on the lips!

Vanessa was at first surprised by this but instantly melted against the kiss as she puts her hands on his shoulders and kissed him back with passion. Sabrina and Ship watched them kiss from the ground as the little girl giggled and smiled as she hugged Ship against her chest and the small alien purred as he liked being hug by the young human. Anyway, after Ben and Vanessa stopped making out, we see the group looking up to the now functional alien spaceship as Baz-El rolled down the window and poked his head out as he waved at them.

"Right, well done, off I go!"

"Wait, what about this thing? Doesn't he blorp back into your body or something?" Ben asked while pointing at Ship as Baz-El gave him a deadpanned look.

"Blorp. That's not how it works. Besides, you and he had a great bonding experience. He's yours now," Baz-El says with a shrug as he rolled up the window and activated the ship as it slowly floats up in the air and flew off into space.

"Well, now what are we going to do with him?" Vanessa asked as Ship rubbed his head against Sabrina's neck and licked her again as she giggled.

"Aw, he is so cute! Vanessa, can I please keep him?" Sabrina begged to her big sister, who put her hand on her chin and thought deeply about what she asked.

"Hmmm, I don't know. Owning a pet is a huge responsibility, not to mention an alien one,"

"Please! I will feed him, train him, play with him, and even clean up his messes!" Sabrina said as Ben looked down to the small Mechamorph, who was squirming around in Sabrina's hands as he grinned.

"Well, I think you have a chance to clean up his 'messes' right now," Ben says while pointing down at Ship, who had jumped out of Sabrina's hands as he slithered over behind a tree to do his business.

"Uh, any of you have a doggy bag I can use?" Sabrina asked with a sheepish smile as the teens laughed. A few hours later, we cue to midmorning, where we see the teens walking tiredly on the freeway as Sabrina walked ahead of them as she was playing with Ship to pass the time.

"Ugh, I'm so tired," Vanessa says while dragging her feet across the pavement as Ben gave her an apologetic look.

"Yeah, sorry I can't fly us home, but after so many quick changes, the Omnitrix shut down to recharge,"

"Yeah, well, I can't blame you since the Zennatrix shut down as well." Vanessa says as she looked ahead and gasped as she saw a truck coming in. "Look, guys! A truck!" Vanessa shouted as the group beamed and started signaling the truck to stop, but the driver ignored them as he smirked at them arrogantly and continued driving off. The kids were miffed by this as Ship growled in anger and chased after the large truck.

"Wait, Ship! Come back! You could get hurt!" Sabrina screamed worriedly as she was about to chase after her new pet, but stopped as Ship jumped on the truck and phased into it as he took control of the vehicle and tossed the driver outside as Ship drove back to the teens and smiled at them as everyone blinked at what he did."...that could work, I guess,"

"Did Ship just high-jacked a truck?" Ben asked in disbelief as Vanessa nodded.

"Yeah, I think he did," Vanessa says just as the driver recovered from the surprise ejection and ran away screaming for help as the group turned to each other and shrugged as they all mounted on the truck and Ship drove them off. "Okay, Sabrina, after this, you're going to have to teach Ship how to behave...but for now, let's just enjoy the ride," Vanessa said with the others nodding in agreement as Ship drove them off the highway and headed straight into the city.
