Hey, guys! Welcome to the new chapter of Alien Force Unite! I hope that you guys will enjoy the new chapter...anyway, I don't own anything except for my OCs, and the OCs Rook Shadow, Rook Knight, and Rook Luna belong entirely to 9655.

NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!

{Episode 12: Alone Together!}

"Vanessa, move!" Ben shouted urgently while running over to push a grunting Vanessa to the side just as a Highbreed Commander fired multiple claw darts at them as it was a dark and stormy night in Bellwood as we cue to an abandoned warehouse, and we see Team Alien Force fighting against a Highbreed as the Lovebirds got tackled into the ground, right behind a crate as a glaring Gwen and Knight could be seen hiding behind a pillar as the Magical Anodite raised her glowing blue hand and chanted a spell as she raised her arm and fired multiple mystic hissing glowing blue snakes that flew over to wrap around the Highbreed's body and began strangling him as he gagged before yelping in pain as Knight raised her glowing pink hands and fired a multitude of Mana Disks at his body.

"It's trying to run! Kevin, Sabrina, Ship! Cut it off!"

"On it! Sabrina, have your pet give me a lift!" Kevin ordered while running towards the Highbreed Commander as he raised his arm and touched the wall, covering his ground in concrete armor as Sabrina, who was hiding with Ship and Shadow, nodded and whistled loudly, causing Ship to leap out of their hiding place and landed in front of the Osmosian Teenager as he morphed himself into a large trampoline and Kevin quickly jumped on top of him as he then launched himself over to deliver a couple of powerful punches all over the Highbreed Commander's face before bouncing off of him as Gwen's Crush landed on the ground. "Guys, it's your turn!"

"Don't worry, we got this! Knight and I have fought our own Highbreed back in our dimension! Dealing with this guy will be easy! Let's go, guys!" Shadow shouted to the Lovebirds with Ben lying on top of Vanessa as they blushed heavily and smiled before getting up from the floor as the trio ran towards the Highbreed Commander while activating their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Xennotrix as they then slammed their hands down on their alien devices and multiple green and purple flashes of light covered their bodies.

Once the flash of green light died down, we see that Ben had now transformed into a 15-feet-tall Male Loboan with small pupilless green eyes, a long flowing fluffy black mane, two small black ears with light gray insides, a long dark grey quad-hinged muzzle with a black nose and sharp yellow fangs/teeth and green insides, a light green tongue, spiked elbows/shoulders, a pair of light grey big muscular four black clawed arms, light gray skin with black fur, a top-heavy muscular lean built, a large bushy black tail, a pair of lean semi-muscular four black clawed feet, and his outfit consisted of a sleeveless white suit with black stripes and accents, a black/white collar as it has the Omnitrix Symbol located in the center of it, black wristbands, a black belt, and no shoes. His name is-

"Blitzwolfer!" The Now-Named Blitzwolfer exclaimed while running forward on all fours as he skidded to a stop and opened up his quad-hinged muzzle as he roared out a big powerfully green ultrasonic howl that flew over to collide against the Highbreed Commander, causing him to scream in pain and destroying Gwen's Mystic Blue Energy Snakes as he gripped his non-existent ears in agony and was sent flying back with numerous big crates flying through the air alongside him as the Highbreed Commander crashed down into the ground and all of the crates fall down on top of him as a big dustcloud rang out.

Once the flash of purple light died down, we see that Vanessa had now transformed herself into a 5'8-feet-tall Female Sphoeroid as she resembled a large bulbous pufferfish-like alien with a pair of bulbous pupilless purple eyes that are connected to the corners of her lips, three purple spikes sticking out the top and bottom of her head, a huge mouth that covers mostly the front of her as it is filled with large pointed white teeth and light purple gums, a pair of slim small four-fingered arms, dark purple skin with a pale purple center, a long slim dark purple tail with a pale purple underside, a pair of short stubby three-toed legs, and her outfit consists of a black bikini top and bottom as she has the Zennatrix Symbol located on her exposed belly button. Her name is-

"Vomit Puff!" The Now-Named Vomit Puff exclaimed while inflating herself into a ball-like shape and then spitting out a huge concentrated blast of very slippery purple slime that flew through the air as it collided against the surprised and gagging Highbreed Commander as Vanessa manipulated her stream of purple slime to sends him flying up into the air.

Once the flash of purple light died down, we see that Rook Shadow had now transformed himself into a 20-feet-tall Male Atasian as he resembled a humanoid plant-like alien with a black face that had four pupilless purple eyes, four purple spikes planted on the sides of his head, no ears/nose/mouth, a sharp chin, four extra pupilless purple eyes on his chest, a pair of large slim black arms with four-clawed purple hands and grayish splotches that temper off before his elbows, black skin with purple stripes on it, a tall muscularly slim build, a pair of large slim black legs with four-clawed purple feet and grayish splotches that temper off before his knees, and wears no clothes as he has the Xennotrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

"Highbreed!" The Now-Named Highbreed exclaimed while summoning a pair of black wings with purple insides on his back as he then flew up into the air and collided against the Highbreed Commander in mid-air as they both crashed down into the ground.

"Don't touch me, you filthy imposter!" A glaring Highbreed Commander says while being able to kick off Highbreed Shadow as he turns his head and spots an Alien Teleporter that resembles Professor Paradox's Machine from Los Soledad as the Racist Alien quickly begins running towards it.

"Don't let him get in that thing! It's a teleporter pod!" Kevin ordered worriedly as Blitzwolfer and Vomit Puff heard him as they shared a look and nodded as the Lovebirds turned back to face the running Highbreed Commander and ran forward as Vanessa inflated herself into a ball-like shape and then spit out a huge concentrated blast of very slippery purple slime that flew above the Highbreed Commander's head as it splashed down into the ground in front of him and a growling Ben opened up his quad-hinged muzzle as he roared out a big powerfully green ultrasonic howl that flew over to collide against the Highbreed Commander, sending him flying forward as he slipped on the stream of slime and yelled out in shock as the Racist Alien slammed himself against the teleporter and bounced back as he crashed down into the ground and groaned in pain as Highbreed Shadow rushed over to leap up and crashed down on top of him as Blitzwolfer swiftly ran over to jump up and hooked his arms around his legs while Vomit Puff deflated herself as she opened up her mouth and sends out a big purple tongue that flew through the air as it wrapped around the struggling Highbreed Commander's arms.

"Ship! Disable that Teleporter Pod!" Sabrina ordered with a glare as Ship nodded firmly and jumped forward as he proceeded to splash himself against the Teleporter Pad, covering it with black goo and green circuitry-like lines as he began trying to disable the machine just as a bolt of lightning crashed through the roof as it collided against him, causing the Teleporter to activate as it powered up and glowed blue.

"No! The transmission field has been damaged!" The Highbreed Commander shouted worriedly just as he, Blitzwolfer, Vomit Puff, and Highbreed Shadow got zapped by the Teleporter Pod as they all got sucked into the machine and disappeared from sight as Gwen, Kevin, Sabrina, Ship, and Knight looked stunned and horrified by this.

Meanwhile, millions of light years away, we cue to a planet named, 'Turrawuste', as it is a desert wasteland with no sapient alien species living on it as it has two suns, which blaze brightly on the planet as we then see a blue portal materializing in mid-air and we see the screaming gang falling down through it as they crashed down into the ground and groaned in pain before the pissed off Highbreed Commander was able to push off our faithful heroes from his back as they landed on the ground, but they were able to quickly composed themselves as Blitzwolfer got down on all fours and growled threateningly while Vomit Puff slurped up her long purple tongue and drooled acidic slim from her mouth as Highbreed Shadow hid away his wings and cracked his knuckles ominously as their foe glared at them venomously.

"Microcephalic vermin-ridden carcasses!"

"That was an insult, right?" A bewildered Blitzwolfer asked as Highbreed Shadow turned to him.

"That is indeed an insult, Ben."

"Thanks."

"That little brat's alien pet and that random bolt of lightning interfered with the teleporter settings." A growling Highbreed Commander says as Vomit Puff rolls her eyes and scoffes as she glares at him.

"Oh, please, it's not Ship's fault that a bolt of lightning came out of nowhere and hit him."

"And we were busy kicking your ass." Highbreed Shadow says with a smug grin as Ben lets out a howling laugh.

"Yeah, plus, we were a bit distracted with you trying to kill us and all.

"That's right...I was...in fact, I still am!" Highbreed Commander roared out while charging toward them to attack our faithful heroes as he threw a punch down at Bliztwolfer, who jumped up into the air and used his superhuman speed and agility to avoid his attack as well as hooking his legs and tail around the Alien's arm to launch himself up into the air as Ben twirled backwards and landed on the Highbreed Command's shoulders as he reached over to grip his head tightly, stabbing his sharp black claws into his head and drawing purple blood as the Omnitrix Wielder then reared back his head and opened up his quad-hinged muzzle as he roared out a big powerfully green ultrasonic howl that collided against the Highbreed Commander's head at point blank rage.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" The Highbreed Commander roared out in pain and agony while feeling his head getting caved in by Blitzwolfer's sonic howling, and streams of purple blood squirted out of his ears as a smirking Highbreed Shadow ran over to raise his arm and delivered a powerful punch across his face just as Blitzwolfer bounced off as a big shockwave rang out and the screaming Highbreed Commander was sent flying through the air and collided against the ground, hundreds of feet away as Vomit Puff glanced around and an idea popped into her head as she grinned syly.

"Maybe this will work!" Vomit Puff shouted while jumping up into the air to slam her mouth into the sandy ground underneath her as she swiftly inflated herself into a ball-like shape and then spit out a huge concentrated blast of very slippery purple slime that shot into the ground as it traveled across the ground in front of her and reached the Highbreed Commander as a huge stream of very slippery purple acidic slime appeared underneath his feet and sends him flying up high into the air before crashing down into the ground and hissed in pain as the acidic slime burned his skin.

"Nice spit game, babe." Blitzwolfer complimented as Vomit Puff deflated herself and turned to give him a sly grin.

"Oh, trust me, I will show you how good my spit game really is one day, Benji~,"

"Guys, less flirting and more fighting." Highbreed Shadow says with a stern tone as Blitzwolfer and Vomit Puff blushed lightly but nodded while turning to face the Highbreed Commander, who got up from the floor and shook off the acidic purple slim from his body as he glared over at the trio and was about to attack them again, but stopped as everyone felt a big rumble ranging out around them.

"Was that an earthquake?" A confused Blitzwolfer asked as Vomit Puff looked around with a puzzled look on her face.

"Can we even call it an earthquake on an alien planet?" Vomit Puff asked curiously as she and the others were able to figure out that they were on an alien planet after spotting the two suns in the sky as, before anyone could react, a massive 30-foot-tall red worm-like creature with a large mouth that was ringed with tiny teeth and five appendages named, 'Dravek', burst out of the ground, sending a screaming Blitzwolfer, Vomit Puff, Highbreed Shadow, and Highbreed Commander flying as they all crashed down into the ground and groaned a bit just as the Dravek turned to snarl at them as he then notices that the Highbreed Commander had turned around to run away and began chasing after him.

"Highbreed, look out!" Blitzwolfer warned as the Highbreed Commander turned around and glared up at the Dravek as he raised his arm and fired more Claw Darts at him that did jackshit against the alien creature's tough hide, and it continued to charge forwards with a mighty roar as Highbreed Shadow sighed heavily and turned to the others.

"Let me guess, we have to save him, huh?"

"Yeah," Vomit Puff says with a groan as Highbreed Shadow rolls his eyes but nods while reaching up to slam his hand against his Xennotrix Symbol and swiftly Quick Changed back into his Normal Form with a flash of purple light as Rook Shadow then activated his Animatrix and slammed his hand down on it as a flash of red light occurred.

Once the flash of red light died down, we see that Rook Shadow has now transformed into a 20-foot-tall Male Root Shark as he resembles a snake/worm-like alien with a shark-like face as he has six pupilless red eyes, a large black horn that curves backwards, a row of sharp large white teeth with a dark purple tongue, a dark purple worm-like exoskeleton body with black rocky plating that travels across his whole body, and a huge sharp black tail as he also had the Animatrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

"Root Shark!" The Now-Named Root Shark exclaimed through the communication system placed inside the Nemetrix Symbol as the Dravek charged over to open up his mouth to try and eat the nervous Highbreed Commander, only for Vomit Puff to awkwardly run forward as she then lowered her head and swiftly inflated herself into a ball-like shape as the Zennatrix Wielder then spit out a huge concentrated blast of very slippery purple slime that collided against the ground and propelled her up into the air as Vanessa flew over to appear in front of the alien creature and took a deep breath to inflate herself even more and grew in size as she falls down to collide against the Dravek's mouth, plugging it up as Root Shark quickly slithered over to wrap around the Dravek's body to restrain it

"Gotta take that parkour! Take that parkour!" Blitzwolfer shouted while running forward on all fours as he then jumped up high into the air and landed on top of the Dravek as Ben was able to travel up to appear on top of its head and gripped his claws on its head tightly as he took a deep breath and reared back his head while opening up his quad-hinged muzzle as he roared out a huge powerfully green ultrasonic howl that collided against the Dravek's body, caving his whole head in severely as his ultrasonic howling green soundwaves traveled across its whole body and internally breaking it apart his bones and organs while Vomit Puff spits out a huge concentrated blast of very slippery purple slime that shoots inside of the alien creature's body, filling up its body as Root Shark tightened his hold on its body tightly, and thanks to the trio's combined efforts, they were able to kill the Dravek by causing it to blow up into a billion bloody pieces as they rained down from the sky and the stunned Highbreed Commander spotted Ben, Vanessa, and Rook Shadow falling down into the ground with a couple of small grunts.

"Whoa, that seemed more powerful than normal." A surprised Blitzwolfer thought to himself curiously while rubbing his muzzle as he forgot how strong his alien form's ultrasonic howling was, not expecting for him to be able to cave in the Dravek's head like that and break apart his bones and organs with just one attack as Ben had come to the conclusion that Blitzwolfer's ultrasonic howling seems to be more powerful than Echo Echo's sonic screaming.

"Okay, what the hell was that thing?" Vomit Puff asked with a glare while deflating herself as she and the others walked/slithered up to the Highbreed Commander.

"A Dravek," The Highbreed Commander stated bluntly while panting heavily as Root Shark nodded in agreement

"Yeah, there are numerous of his kind on Planet Turrawuste." Root Shark says after being able to figure out what alien planet they are on as Blitzwolfer shakes his head to compose himself and puts on a serious glare.

"Then we'd better get off this planet before any more of them show up,"

"We?" A scowling Highbreed Commander asked as Vomit Puff rolled her eyes with a scoff.

"Yes, dude, we. Look, man, you couldn't defeat that thing alone. You needed our help to save your ungrateful pale ass, but we don't know much about this planet, except for Rook Shadow, so it's good to have some extra help from another alien expert."

"Yeah, plus, if our devices time out during a battle and if more Draveks appear, then none of us have any hope of getting off this planet alive unless we work together. You know we're right," Root Shark says with a snarl as Highbreed Commander scoffs and crosses his arms.

"I know no such thing."

"You are right, you don't know much of anything." Vomit Puff says sarcastically as the enraged Highbreed Commander is about to attack her, only for Blitzwolfer to run over on all fours and then stand on his hind legs as he holds up his arms with a stern glare on his face.

"Look, guys, I don't like this any more than you all do, but if we are going to survive this mess, we have to work together," Blitzwolfer says with a firm tone as he then glances up at the Highbreed Commander. "Now, seeing as your Teleporter Pod warped us to this planet, care to explain how we can go back to Earth?"

"Hmph, well, we are on Planet Turrawuste. A desert world useful only as a Teleporter Relay Station."

"So how come we weren't warped closer to this planet's Teleporter Relay Station?" Vomit Puff asked while trying to cross her arms but failed due to how short they were as Root Shark hummed thoughtfully.

"Hmmm, the damage to the pod from that freak lightning must have temporarily shifted the focusing axis."

"Indeed, Vermin." Highbreed Commander says with a mocking tone as Rook Shadow fumed.

"Can you fix it? And if not, maybe I can take a crack with it as Upgrade." Blitzwolfer suggested as Vomit Puff raised her hand.

"Or I can help fix it as Mindquake."

"If we find the teleporter pod station on this planet, we won't need to fix it. All we have to do is to hope that no Galvanic Mecharmorph Mutt and lightning will interfere with the machine while it's activated." The Highbreed Commander says with a taunting tone as Vomit Puff rolls her eyes and scoffes.

"Alright, smartass, where the hell is the Teleporter Relay Station?"

"Impossible to tell."

"Impossible for you maybe," Blitzwolfer says with a smug grin while taking a deep breath as he reared back his head and opened up his quad-hinged muzzle as he then roared out a huge powerfully green ultrasonic howl that collided against the ground below him and it traveled across the ground at a rapid pace as, eventually, Ben was able to use his Loboan Form's Echolocation Powers to locate the Teleporter Relay Station as he perked up. "Found it. It's that way." Blitzwolfer says while pointing to the north side of the planet as he then turns back to the others. "It will take a day or more to get there on foot. I would've suggested for either Van, Shadow, and I to transform into larger and flying aliens to get there in 2 hours, but I bet that riding on such lesser beings is beneath you, huh?" Blitzwolfer asked with a sarcastic and dry tone while glancing over at the Highbreed Commander, who turned his head to scoff angrily.

"Good boy~," Vomit Puff says while going over to inflate herself to reach Blitzwolfer's height and reaches up to begin rubbing his head, causing him to pant heavily in happiness and joy as Vanessa then stopped rubbing his head and Ben pouted...before going down on all fours as he reached behind him to begin scratching his ass.

"Your kind disgusts me..." A disgusted and glaring Highbreed Commander says as Vomit Puff and Root Shark's face scrunched up in disgust as well.

"Ben, do you seriously need to be scratching your ass, right now?" An annoyed Vomit Puff asked as Blitzwolfer flinched and blushed in embarrassment as he stood up on his hind legs.

"Hey, don't blame me, blame my alien DNA."

"Yeah, I highly doubt that." Root Shark stated with a blank tone as an irritated Highbreed Commander backed away from them.

"Enough of this, I will not allow such filthy creatures to spend a moment longer in my presence." Highbreed Commander says while turning around to walk away into the south direction of the planet as Vomit Puff snorted amusedly and began laughing...hard.

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

"Why are you laughing, vermin?!" An annoyed Higbreed Commander asked while stopping in his tracks and turned to glare at Vomit Puff as said person merely continued laughing before calming down as she wiped away her tears of laughter and gave the Highbreed a smug grin.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, I'm sorry, it's just that can this 'filthy creature' tell you that you are going the wrong way, dude? The Turrawuste's Teleporter Relay Station is placed over there." Vomit Puff says while pointing over to the north side of the planet as the Highbreed Commander blinks in surprise and blushes sheepishly as he growls in irritation.

"And look, if our Alien Forms creep you out that much, then how about this?" Blitzwolfer suggested while he, Vomit Puff, and Root Shark proceeded to raise their arms/tail and slam them into their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, and Animatrix Symbols as they all transformed back into their Normal Forms with triple flashes of green, purple, and red lights. "See? Vanessa and I are really just plain old Humans while Shadow is a Revonnahgander."

"That is even worse!" A horrified and disgusted Highbreed Commander shouted as the trio looked very annoyed by what he said. "Begone foul things! I shall traverse to the teleporter alone!" The Highbreed Commander screamed while turning around and began walking in the right direction to the Teleporter Relay Station just as the ground underneath them rumbled again as the group shared an anxious look.

"Okay, I hate to say this, but my boyfriend is right. We can't separate from each other." Vanessa stated firmly as Shadow nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, we have to watch each other's backs. We don't want any more Draveks to get the drop on us." Shadow says while being very reluctant to want to team up with a Highbreed but realizes what needs to be done as the Highbreed Commander narrows his eyes down at the trio.

"Now what?" An exasperated and tired Ben asked as the Highbreed Commander crossed his arms.

"If I am forced to travel with you three, then you three must keep ten paces behind me at all times."

"But I'm the one who knows the way." Ben reminded as the stubborn Highbreed narrowed his chest eyes indefinitely.

"Ten paces."

"Alright, fine, whatever, let's just get this over with." An annoyed Vanessa says as the Highbreed Commander nods in satisfaction and begins walking forward with the others following after him, and we then fast forward to an hour as we see the gang walking through the desert with all of them feeling the effects of the intense heat around them as they all look miserable and tired.

"Man, this heat is so freaking unbearable." A groaning Vanessa says as she was forced to take off her purple scarf and purple hoodie due to the intense heat, revealing her sweat-stained black tank top as the outline of her boobs were exposed by her sweat.

"Yeah, it is," Ben says with a heavy sigh while covered in sweat as he is forced to take off his white hooded jacket due to the intense heat. "But hey, at least I have a good view right now," Ben says flirtatiously while eyeing Vanessa's bouncing and sweat-covered D-Cup Breasts bouncing up and down as said person blushed in embarrassment and elbowed him with a small grin on her face.

"Well, I am so happy that you are having so much fun, Ben." An annoyed and glaring Shadow says as he takes off his dark purple helmet, reinforced battle armor, black cape, and light purple gauntlets due to the intense heat as, because of his Revonnahgander DNA, he's having trouble moving around in Turrawuste's climate, and the Xennotrix/Animatrix Wielder is not sure how much longer he can handle such high temperatures thanks to his damn fur.

"Hey, what's wrong? Is it hot enough for you guys, heh?" Ben asked jokingly with Shadow glaring at him as the Highbreed Commander turned to him.

"Yes, it is."

"...No, see, I wasn't really asking, see, it's just an Earth expression. It means it's really hot out here."

"It is obviously hot. I do not see the point in reiterating what the four of us already know." The Highbreed Commander says with an annoyed tone as Ben rolls his eyes and scoffs.

"Makes me glad I didn't say 'It's not the heat, it's the humidity',"

"There is no humidity! It is, in fact, the heat!" The Highbreed Commander snapped as Ben was about to speak up but stopped as his girlfriend reached over to place her hand on his shoulder.

"Forget it, Ben, just let it go," Vanessa says as Ben sighs heavily, but nods just as both Shadow and the Highbreed Commander groan loudly as they collapse on their knees and the Zennatrix Wielder quickly goes over to check on her Revonnahgander Friend while the Omnitrix Wielder goes over to check on the Atasian as said person held out his arm with a furious glare on his face.

"Do not lay your hands on me, vile thing!"

"Are you okay, Shadow?" Vanessa asked worriedly while helping Shadow up to his feet as he panted heavily.

"Yeah, I'm just...really struggling to not pass out right now. This is one of the curses of having fur. I hate to say this, but we may need help."

"You, maybe, but not me. I refuse to take any charity from vermin." The Highbreed Commander insulted weakly while staring to shriveling up as Vanessa rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"Oh, please, I hate it when men do this shit. Stop acting like a tough guy and just accept our help."

"Yeah, rest isn't going to cut it. You're dehydrated already," Ben pointed out while placing his hands on his hips as the Highbreed Commander growled angrily.

"The one true species thrives in a much cooler climate than this."

"Hey, Revonnahganders and Humans prefer it colder than this too, but you're practically wasting away here. You need help." A reluctantly concerned Shadow says as Ben nods.

"Yeah, both of you need to find a way to cool off from this heat. Shadow's species can't handle such intense temperatures for long periods of time and the Highbreed is literally going to die soon due to the heat, but luckily, I got just the right alien to help cool us all off." Ben says while activating his Omnitrix as he slams his hand down on it, and a flash of green light occurs as we see him transforming into-

"Big Chill!" Big Chill exclaimed while unfolding his wings as he flew up into the air and reared back his head as Ben then began breathing a huge amount of cold and frost over the group.

"Oh my fucking god, Ben, I could suck your dick right now. Thank you so much, Ben." A moaning and relieved Vanessa says while spreading out her arms to enjoy the cold as she doesn't seem to mind nor care that her nipples grew hard from the cold.

"Well, I won't do that, but I'm willing to give you a congratulative pat on the back in a friendly way," Shadow says with a joking tone while sighing in relief at the cold hitting his fur as, unlike the others, the Highbreed Commander didn't seem to appreciate Ben's efforts and raised his arms to try and stop him.

"Desist! Stop that this instant!"

"Why? Don't you want to be cold?" Vanessa asked confusedly as the Highbreed Commander fumed.

"I did not request his assistance."

"We know, chill, dude...heh, see what I did there?" Big Chill asked with a grin as the Highbreed Commander raised an eyebrow confusedly.

"I do not."

"I'm starting to think that the Highbreed Species don't know jack-shit about comedy," Vanessa says with a dry tone while turning her head as she then perks up at the sight of a large crater placed in the sand with some water residing inside of it. "Whoa, guys, look! Water!"

"Your powers of deduction are truly staggering." The Highbreed Commander says sarcastically as Vanessa gives him an irritated glare.

"So you know about sarcasm but not about humor?"

"Let it go, babe. Anyway, I'm going to use my wings to scoop up lots of water for us to drink. Stay here." Big Chill says while flying away as he makes his way over to land in front of the water hole and spreads out his wings as Ben uses them to scoop up a lot of water, oblivious to the fact that four large black teeth appeared around him as the gang flinched in surprise.

"Ben, look out!" Shadow shouted while raising his hand as Big Chill finally noticed that he was inside of a trap and swiftly turned himself intangible just as the Dravek's mouth closed in on him as he flew upwards and phased through its mouth while freezing it from the inside out as Ben flew over to land in front of the gang.

"Are you okay, baby?" Vanessa asked worriedly as Big Chill nodded.

"Yeah, but it looks like that water hole was just a trap."

"Gullible prey can often be lured with the right bait. Many predators can use this to their advantage," The Highbreed Commander explained as the gang spotted the Dravek trying to break out of the ice.

"That thing is getting loose. Let's move." Big Chill ordered urgently as the Highbreed Commander scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"You three cannot issue commands to me, mongrels! Lesser beings do my bidding!" The Highbreed commander yelled just as the Dravek was able to break free of the ice that was restraining it as it roared savagely. "And I bid you three to fight!"

"Fine, but only because we want to, not because you said so," Shadow says with an angry huff while he and Vanessa activate their Xennotrix and Zennatrix as they slam their hands down at them, and dual flashes of purple light die down.

Once the flash of purple light died down, we see that Rook Shadow had now transformed into a 20-feet-tall Male Vaxasaurian as the large alien has a muscular somewhat humanoid dinosaur-like body with pupilless purple eyes, a square-like head that is mostly hunched forward, a wrinkled neck, both his lower jaw/brows are protruding, an almost human-like nose that was squished inward, wrinkled black lips, minorly fanged white teeth, a pair of large tree-sized four-fingered arms, a light brown armored hide with minor plating on his shoulders/tail/back/arms/upper legs, the plates on his chest ended in spikes, a beige chest/abs/inner arms/lower jaws, bulged out kneecaps/finger joints, a lengthy light brown lizard-like tail, a pair of short elephant-like three black clawed feet, and wears no clothes as he has the Xennotrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is-

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

Once the flash of bright purple light died down, we see that Shadow has now transformed into an Evolved Vaxasaurian, which consists of him being a 20-foot-tall humanoid dinosaur-like creature with black armor similar to that of an Ankylosaurus as he is more burly and muscular with pupilless purple eyes, a black helmet with three silver spikes running down the top and two downward pointing black horns on the sides, a pair of huge muscular dark purple four black clawed arms with his knuckles having silver barrels on them as they can transform into four-barreled missile launchers, Dark Purple Skin, has a dark purple plated chest and torso with five spikes on each end, has dark purple back armor with long spikes running down each side, a long dark purple tail with a black silver-spiked mace placed on the end of it, and a pair of huge muscular dark purple three black clawed legs as he has the Evolved Xennotrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is...

"Ultimate Humungousaur!" The Now-Named Ultimate Humungousaur exclaimed while transforming both his hands into a pair of bio-gatling guns as he began shooting multiple kinetically unstable bone fragment missiles at the Dravek, piercing through its skin and causing it to bleed as it roared in pain.

"Azula!" Azula exclaimed while flapping her wings as she took off into the air, and roared out a huge blue laser that impacted against the Dravek, causing a huge hole to appear on his body as it roared in agony and Big Chill flew onto the scene while turning himself intangible as he phased through its body, freezing it again as Ben then flew out while turning himself tangible as the roaring and injured Dravek was able to free himself yet again.

"We can't keep this up much longer." Big Chill warned as Azula nodded in agreement while still floating up in the air as she fired more and more blue energy blasts at the Dravek to drive it away from the group.

"We need to find a way to take out this thing once and for all."

"Follow my lead," The Highbreed Commander ordered as Big Chill turned to give him a withering look.

"And do what?"

"Freeze it!"

"Uh, Ben already tried that." Ultimate Humungousaur says as the Highbreed Commander growls in irritation.

"From the inside. Stay inside and keep it frozen until I say otherwise. When I do, you two help me finish off the Dravek." The Highbreed Commander says to Ben, Vanessa, and Shadow, who shrug as Big Chill flies towards the Dravek and allows it to eat him as the alien creature is instantly frozen from the inside and out. "Now!" The Highbreed Commander ordered just as an intangible Big Chill flew out of the Dravek's body as the Highbreed Command held out his arms, Azula opened up her mouth, and Ultimate Humungousaur raised his bio-gatling guns as the trio fired multiple blow darts, a big blue energy blast, and several kinetically unstable bone fragment missiles as all of the attacks collided against the frozen Dravek, causing him to blow up into a billion pieces as the Highbreed Commander then groaned out in pain before falling to his knees as he trembled.

"Shit, dude, are you alright?" A worried Azula asked while flying down to land near the boys as the annoyed Highbreed Commander raised his arm.

"Don't you dare! Leave me be. Now that the danger has passed, I can locate water myself." The Highbreed Commander says curtly while opening up his chest cavity upwards, revealing his red fleshy insides as he stuck out two tendrils from his chest into the ground, much to the lovebirds' disgust.

"That is so gross."

"Funny enough, I can do the same with my Highbreed Form." Ultimate Humungousaur added as Azula gagged.

"There is water below the sand if one looks deeply enough." The Highbreed Commander says while digging his tendrils deeper and deeper into the ground before finally finding what he was looking for beneath the surface as the Racist Alien perked up. "There."

"I didn't know Highbreeds was some kind of plant creature," A curious Big Chill says as the Highbreed Commander scoffs and rolls both his face and chest eyes.

"The Highbreed is not 'some kind' of anything. We are the only kind." The Highbreed Commander says insultingly while retracting his tentacles as water starts flowing from the sand, and the trio perks up as we then fast forward to sunset, and we see that Vanessa and the boys had Quick Changed back into their Normal Forms and are drinking water from the sand as the group then walked up a cliff just as they heard some rustling in the sand as Vanessa and the boys, minus the Highbreed Commander, glanced at each other concernedly.

"Did you hear something?"

"I heard nothing, Human, except for you...which is the same as nothing." The Highbreed Commander says with a snort as he chuckles. "I believe that I am beginning to grasp your concept of humor."

"No, dude, this is serious, we all felt something. Maybe more Draveks underground?" Vanessa asked warily as Rook Shadow looked around, and his face paled as he shook his head.

"No, much worse."

"Oh, come on, what could be worse than..." Ben says before trailing off as he and the others spotted a whole swarm of sand insects crawling towards them.

"Dasypodidae." A worried Highbreed Commander says as Ben scoffed and rolled his eyes playfully.

"They're little. How could these guys possibly be worse than Draveks?" Ben asked with an amused grin before screaming panickedly as the Dasypodidae appeared before them and started crawling all over their bodies with the little alien creatures eating off their clothes, leaving Ben wearing only his green boxers while Vanessa was left in nothing but her purple bra and panties as Rook Shadow was thankfully left fully clothed due to him putting on his armor again after the area around them began growing colder and the Highbreed wore no clothes.

"YOU JUST HAD TO SAY SOMETHING, HUH?!" An embarrassed and blushing Vanessa asked Ben while giving him a death glare as the Lovebirds then quickly activated their Zennatrix and Omnitrix as they slammed their hands down on their alien devices, and dual flashes of green and purple lights rang out as we see the lovebirds transforming themselves into-

"Swampfire/Wildfire!" Swampfire and Wildfire exclaimed in unison while raising their arms to fire a multitude of orange/red/yellow fireballs down at the Dasypodidae, blowing them up and killing them as a smug-faced Swampfire chuckled.

"Man, this is too easy. This will only take a second." Swampfire says just as he and the others spot an immense swarm of Dasypodidae charging towards them as Wildfire slowly turns to scowl at her nervously sweating boyfriend.

"Ben? Please do me a favor and shut the fuck up."

"Yes, ma'am," Swampfire says with a nervous gulp as Shadow looks around and spots the cliff as an idea pops into his head.

"Guys, follow me!" Shadow shouted while running up the cliffside as Swampfire, Wildfire, and the Highbreed Commander followed after him as the Revonnahgander then activated his Animatrix and slammed his hand down on it as a flash of red light occurred.

Once the flash of red light died down, we see that Rook Shadow has now transformed into a 40-foot-tall Male Slammoid as he resembles a giant worm-like alien with six purple eyes, a wide black beak-like mouth with a row of sharp teeth, a purple hide with a black underbelly, four black insectoid legs on each side near the front, black spikes running down his back, a black tail ending in a pincer-like a set of spikes, and has the Animatrix Symbol planted on his stomach. His name is-

"Slamworm!" The Now-Named Slamworm exclaimed while crashing down onto the ground as he rode forward and opened up his beak as he ate all of the Dasypodidae, saving the group, but the loud shockwaves made by his movements caused a yelping Highbreed Commander to lose his footing and nearly fall down from the cliffside if Swampfire and Wildfire didn't reach down to grab his arms to save him.

"How dare you-filthy...unhand me!" The Highbreed Commander ordered furiously while knocking off Swampfire and Wildfire, angering them as they walked over to stand in front of him.

"What is wrong with you?! You don't like the creatures we turn into, we get it, but come on! We just saved your life!"

"Yeah, and I even made sure to lower my temperature in order to not burn you! Cut us some slack!" Wildfire yelled with a glare as the Highbreed Commander said nothing and turned around to walk away as Ben and Vanessa fumed angrily as we then fast forward to nighttime, and we see the gang walking through the desert with everyone turned back into their normal forms as Shadow had raised his arm and covered it with his Mana Energy to help light the way as they then stopped.

"This is as good a place as any to set up camp for the night," Ben says as Vanessa and Shadow nod in agreement while the Highbred Commander shakes his head as he crosses his arms.

"No. We shall walk through the night."

"Uh, no, we have been walking for hours under the heat of two fucking suns. We need to set up camp to help rest. We will continue walking towards the Teleporter Relay Station tomorrow, early in the morning." Vanessa stated with a firm tone as the Highbreed Commander narrowed his eyes stoically.

"I would not use such an insolent tone with me, lesser creatures."

"Oh really?" Shadow asked with a hot glare as he and the others stepped forward.

"You have not yet dealt with me at my full strength. See how the cool night air has come to restore me?" The Highbreed Commander says while showing off his body as Vanessa raises an eyebrow dryly.

"Yeah, we noticed, so?"

"So, I shall carry on from here. On my own." The Highbreed Commander stated firmly as the trio rolled their eyes and scoffed.

"Alright. Go then. We're setting up camp," Shadow says while waving him off as Ben then turns to the others.

"Okay, I'm going to find us some sticks and set up a fire. Vanessa? You go ahead and create some shelter with us. Shadow? You go and find food for us." Ben ordered as Vanessa and Shadow nodded as the Highbreed Commander turned around to walk away.

"You three have outlived your usefulness to me-," The Highbreed Commander says as he is about to walk off but stops when the gang hears the familiar growling of the Draveks underneath the surface. "...we shall camp here for the night, and I will help with getting food." The Highbreed Commander caved as everyone nodded.


A few hours later, we cue to later at night as we see Ben tending to the campfire that he made earlier with a shivering Vanessa kneeling near him as Shadow was cooking some roasted animal creature that he and his unwilling partner had found and hunted earlier as they had reassured the lovebirds that they will be able to eat it safely as the Highbreed Commander could be seen standing far away from them and was glaring at them coldly as Ben briefly glanced over at his half-naked girlfriend and blushed a bit before noticing that she was trembling from the cold, even if there was a campfire as the Omnitrix Wielder was quick to take off his jacket hoodie, which was the only thing that survived the Dasypodidae onslaught from earlier and handed it over to Vanessa, who smiled warmly and reached over to grab it to put it on while moaning in delight by how warm it is as she then leaned over to give him a brief kiss of gratitude.

"Pull up a boulder. Sit down," Shadow suggested while still cooking the unknown alien creature as the Highbreed Commander scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"So your infernal pit can deplete me of my strength? I will not."

"It's just a campfire, dude." A deadpanned Vanessa says while snuggling up to her half-naked boyfriend to help him warm up and to also check out his muscular chest and crotch as Shadow rolls his eyes playfully and takes off his cape to give to Ben to help keep him warm as the Omnitrix Wielder gratefully took it.

"Yeah, it's an Earth tradition. You sit around the fire to keep you warm and, you know, talk."

"To you three? For what conceivable purpose?" The Highbreed Commander asked in bewilderment as Vanessa shrugged.

"You know, to get to know each other and pass the time."

"Yeah, like for instance, we had never formally met each other since we were too busy beating each other up." Ben says with a warm smile as he holds up his arm. "Hi, I'm Ben Tennyson. This is my girlfriend, Vanessa Cunningham, and this is our friend Rook Shadow, who are you?" Ben asked curiously as the Highbreed Commander stood up straight.

"I am called Reinrassig III, seventh son of the Noble Highbreed House of Deralla, direct descendant of the Pure-Blooded High Order of Rarsect. Heir to the-,"

"I'm gonna call you Reiny." Ben interrupted boredly as an annoyed Vanessa elbowed him.

"Ben, don't interrupt him. That's rude."

"Listen to your mate, Ben Tennyson. She speaks the truth." The Now-Named Reiny says with a smug grin as Ben blushed in embarrassment and mumbled an apology.

"So, this is a bit weird, but despite the fact that Ben, Vanessa, and I don't trust you as far as Humungousaur, Azula, and Highbreed can throw you, it's still cool that the four of us have managed to work together to survive," Shadow commented with a shrug while still tending to their dinner as Vanessa nodded in agreement with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, I mean, we are not exactly friends or anything, but we're not full-blown mortal enemies anymore either. We're more like acquaintances."

"The three of you and I are enemies," Reiny says with a scowl as Ben rolls his eyes playfully.

"But we've been able to see past our differences. Probably because Vanessa, Shadow, and I know what it's like to be...well, unlike Shadow, my girl and I don't have Highbreed Forms yet, but we do have a whole bunch of other alien life forms kind of like you," Ben says with Vanessa and Shadow nodding in agreement as they held up their Omnitrix, Zennatrix, Xennotrix, and Animatrix.

"Ben's right, thanks to our alien devices, the three of us are able to walk a mile in other life forms' shoes,"

"So we can totally understand what it's like to be them because we sort of have been." Shadow explained as Reiny scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Such presumption, but what else is to be expected from genetically inferior creatures?"

"...I...don't...what?" A bewildered Ben asked as Reiny glared down at him.

"Why would I, a Highbreed, be slightly interested in befriending the revolting likes of you?"

"Hey, we're just trying to be nice. Find some common ground here." A glaring Vanessa says as Reiny sighs heavily and shakes his head.

"The three of you and I are more than just mere enemies. Highbreeds were the very first race in the entire universe. All species since then, other than pure-blooded Highbreeds, are nothing but mongrels. Hideous abominations of nature. Especially Humans and Revonnahganders. The moment I no longer have to rely on you three for my own protection, Ben Tennyson, Vanessa Cunningham, and Rook Shadow, I shall eradicate the three of you and there will be three less vermin infesting a grateful universe."

"You can't really believe all that," Ben said with a somber frown as he glanced up at Reiny. "Not after everything we've been through. Not after the way we've been trying to help you."

"When you weren't trying to kill me," Reiny pointed out as Ben remained silent, and Vanessa reached up to place his hand on his shoulder to comfort him as Shadow sighed heavily.

"Look, clearly, our small talk isn't working, so how about we all get some shuteye after we finish doing our dinner?" Shadow suggested as Reiny nodded.

"Good, all of you seem tired, so I will take the first watch after dinner."

"You mind if I join you?" Shadow asked as Reiny narrowed his eyes but nodded as we then fast forward to the middle of the night, and we see Ben and Vanessa cuddling with each other inside a makeshift tent that the Zennatrix Wielder had made earlier as Shadow and Reiny could be seen sitting near the campfire, keeping an eye out for any nearby threats as the Xennotrix/Animatirx Wielder then spotted the Highbreed Commander suddenly standing up from his place and walked over to the lovebirds' tent as he narrowed his eyes and was about to activate his alien device, only for Reiny to raise his arm and fired multiple claw darts that collided against a lone Dasypodidae that was trying to enter into Ben and Van's tent as it crashed down into the ground.

"Huh?!" Ben and Vanessa asked in shock while crawling out of their tent as they spotted the Highbreed Commander slamming his hand down at a Dasypodidae to stop him from attacking the others, but unfortunately, the alien creature raised his head to bite down on his hand, causing Reiny to scream in pain and agony as he then flung it away, only to have his arm get ripped off in the process as his stumped arm lets out a big stream of purple blood.

"Shit, can you regenerate it?!" Ben asked concernedly as Shadow turned to him.

"The Highbreeds can't regenerate!"

"Indeed! I am not a lowly homo-palustris!" Reiny spat with a pained and angry glare as Vanessa turned to him urgently.

"But it can be healed, right?!"

"Not from such an injury as this! Not in these conditions!" Reiny shouted with a growl as the gang glanced at each other and nodded as Ben raised his Omnitrix as the brown-haired boy activated it and slammed his hand down at his alien device as a flash of green light covered his body.

Once the flash of green light died down, we see an 8-feet-tall Male Thep Khufan as he resembled a mummy-like alien and had pupilless glowing green eyes that are surrounded by crown-like golden spikes, wore a pharaoh's headdress as it was colored black with two glowing green gaps on either side of it and a gold rimming at the bottom, no ears/mouth, a sharp chin that is colored black with more green gaps and a golden beard-like spine jutting from it, two long bandage tendrils that are attached to his back as they both reach down into the ground, a pair of slim long greyish-brown ragged bandaged arms with four long fingers, his entire body is made out of greyish-brown ragged bandages with visible layers and the gaps between his bandages are glowing green as said bandages are made from an alien material that feels like old cloth but is actually as tough as steel and is elastic in nature, a tall lean yet thick muscular build, a pair of slim long greyish-brown ragged bandaged legs with four long toes, and his outfit consists of a large collar/wrap-like garment with green and black stripes, a pair of black-and-gold pads on each shoulder with each one having a green 'eye' on them, a pair of black bracers with gold trimmings and two larger green gaps on them, a large green/black Shendyt, and a pair of greaves with gold trimmings and two larger green gaps on them as he has the Omnitrix Symbol planted on his left shoulder. His name is-

"Snare-Oh!" The Now-Named Snare-Oh exclaimed as he then walked over to the injured Highbreed Commander. "Let's hope this works." A worried Snare-Oh says while raising his left arm and stretching out his four fingers to wrap around Reiny's discarded ripped-out hand as he pulls it over to jam it into the Highbreed Commander's bloody stump and Ben swiftly wrapped his bandaged fingers around it to stick Reiny's hand into his bloody stump and then closed his eyes in concentration. "Atni al-qudra ola shafa edd reney memmezga walmiltokha baledma." Snare-Oh chanted underneath his breath with his glare as he opened his eyes, revealing them to be glowing a bright green as the gaps between his bandages glowed a bright green, and Reiny and Vanessa watched in astonishment and shock as the Highbreed Commander's ripped out hand was magically sealed back into his bloodied stump and it began healing as Snare-Oh's bandages wrapped around Reiny's arm and the gaps between the bandages glowed green as he got fully healed.

"Whoa! You can use Egyptian Magic in this form?!" A shocked Vanessa asked as Ben nodded with a grin.

"Yep, I learned that I can use Magic as Snare-Oh like the Mummy did when we fought him. Gwen was kind enough to help teach me how to use magic as Snare-Oh on our next summer vacation. We weren't able to do so on our first summer vacation since ten minutes wasn't enough time to learn magic."

"Oh, really?" An intrigued Shadow asked as he already knew that his Snare-Oh Form could use magic a long time ago, but was surprised that Ben knew.

"Yep, although, thankfully, the next time we met Azmuth after the whole 'Omnitrix's Self Destruct Function' Event happened, he was kind enough to extend my time limit to be an hour and even taught me some other functions like the Quick Change Function," Snare-Oh explained as he then turned to Reiny. "Also, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to heal your hand immediately. I'm a bit rusty with using Snare-Oh, so you'll have to live with that bandaged arm for the rest of your life. Sorry about that." Snare-Oh says apologetically as Reiny stares down at his working yet bandaged-up and glowing green arm in shock and confusion as he flexes his fingers.

"Why would you help me?" Reiny asked suspiciously with a raised eyebrow as Vanessa turned to grin at him.

"Why would you help a couple of vermin like us?"

"It was in my own interest to stop that creature from harming you," Reiny stated matter-of-factly as Ben smiled warmly.

"Yeah? Well, it's in my own interest to help anybody who needs it."

"That's what heroes do." Shadow added as Reiny remained silent and glanced down at his bandaged-up and glowing green arm confusedly just as the ground around them shook hard as Snare-Oh stretched his arms forward to grab Vanessa and pulled her close to him as Shadow got into a fighting stance and Reiny reflexively raised his arm as he stretched his bandaged fingers to flew over and stab into the ground, hard enough that it cracked and sand burst out as he was shocked by this, but didn't have time to think as a Dravek burst out of the ground and roared at them savagely, sending burning wood everywhere as Reiny quickly ran forward and avoided its strikes as he blasted his claw darts out at it, only for the Dravek to bend down and scoop him up, leaving him dangling over its maw as the Highbreed Commander flinched in fear.

"Ben Tennyson! Vanessa Cunningham! Rook Shadow!" Reiny pleaded for help as Rook Shadow and Vanessa quickly glanced down at their Alien Devices as they activated their Zennatrix and Xennotrix before slamming their hands down at them as dual flashes of purple lights rang out.

Once the flash of purple light died down, we see that Rook Shadow had now transformed himself into a 10-feet-tall Male Galilean as he literally resembled a living planet and is a silicon-based lifeform as he has a large and bulky build with dark purple rocky skin, small pupilless light purple eyes, a giant mouth with teeth that also made out of dark purple rocks, big three-fingered arms with one thumb on each hand, a molten lava planet core at the center of his body, tan three-toed dark purple rocky feet, and his outfit consists of a navy blue belt with black stripes as the Xennotrix Symbol was located in the middle of the belt, and pair of black shorts with dark purple stripes. His name is -

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

Once the flash of bright purple light dies down, we see that Shadow has now transformed into an Evolved Galilean as he no longer has legs and floats entirely by manipulating his gravitational field passively as his skin crust becomes more jagged as crests and peaks form on the surface, his planetary core is engulfed in his mouth now with a red spiral circling outwards, his hands are much larger, and the most notable change, however, are the three smaller orbiting planetoids that spawn around him, caught in his gravitational field as they each have a little face on them that resembles Gravattack's original form in orbit mode and has the Evolved Xennotrix Symbol planted on his chest. His name is...

"Ultimate Gravattack!" The Now-Named Ultimate Gravattack exclaimed as he struck a heroic pose.

"Mindquake!" Mindquake exclaimed while raising her glowing red hands as she latched onto Reiny and telekinetically ripped him out of the Dravek's maw as Ultimate Gravattack raised his glowing purple hazy hands with his three smaller orbiting planetoids glowing a hazy purple as they latched onto the Dravek and manipulated its gravity to slam it down into the ground with the force powerful enough to destroy a small town as Snare-Oh held out his arms and his eyes glowed a bright green as the gaps between his bandages glowed a bright green as well.

"Astdai lahib tenin Ptu!" Snare-Oh chanted while thrusting his hands forward as he created a large circular glowing green spell circle and summoned a huge dragon made out of green flames as it roared loudly and flew over to fly inside of the Dravek's mouth, causing his insides to be set on fire as it roared in pain just as the Dragon of Ptu expanded his flames and then a huge green blazing explosion occurred that blew up the alien creature into a billion pieces. "Maybe you were right, Reiny. Maybe we should walk at night."

"Agreed." Mindquake and Ultimate Gravattack said in unison as Reiny said nothing, and the gang turned around to walk away after putting out the campfire and the Trio Quick Changing themselves back into their normal forms as they began walking through the desert planet.

"Thanks for helping us back there, again," A grateful Ben says to a silent Reiny as a smiling Vanessa nods in agreement.

"Yeah, this is a huge thing to us, Reiny. This is proof that maybe underneath that exterior, Highbreeds aren't really so bad after all,"

"Yeah, and despite those terrible things about us you may have said before, you really do want to try to be friends with Humans and a Revonnahgander," Shadow says with a smirk as Reiny said nothing and stays silent as we then fast forward in time and it is now sunrise as we see the gang finally managing to make it to the Teleporter Relay Station.

"There it is. Come on." An excited Ben said as he and the others ran towards it, but stopped upon noticing that Reiny wasn't following after them anymore.

"Hey, are you okay?" Vanessa asked worriedly as Shadow sighed heavily and shook his head.

"Not the whole 'Ten paces behind' thing again,"

"Go home, Ben Tennyson, Vanessa Cunningham, and Rook Shadow. I shall remain here." Reiny stated firmly as the trio looked shocked by what he said.

"Uh, what? Did you take your stupid pills this morning? The teleporter's right there. We can finally get off this sand trap of doom and back to our lives." Shadow pointed out as Reiny shook his head somberly.

"I have spent too long with the pair of you and have therefore myself become contaminated."

"Contaminated? What do you mean by that?" A hurt Vanessa asked confusedly as Reiny held up his bandaged-up and glowing green arm.

"As evidenced by my uncharacteristic behavior, risking my own life to save yours, two lowly humans, and a single Revonnahgander."

"Reiny, what you did was a good thing," Shadow protested as Reiny shook his head.

"I have obviously become infected by your mongrel influence and am now myself unclean."

"Even if we believed that was true, why remain here on Turrawuste? Why not go to a more suitable and safe planet to live on?" A confused Vanessa asked as Reiny gave her a grim look.

"In self-imposed exile, as it should be. For I can never return home, or anywhere. I could infect the rest of my kind. The only honorable choice is to remain here."

"No..." Vanessa says with teary eyes as a somber Ben goes over to give her a comforting hug.

"Because all lesser beings other than pure unadulterated Highbreeds must be expunged from the universe...including myself."

"I thought we had gotten through to you. I thought you had changed." Ben says with a frown as Reiny nods.

"This much is true. I have changed, and now, I must pay the price." Reiny stated stoically while walking forward as Vanessa and the others stared at him in sadness and disappointment as they reluctantly followed after him towards the Teleporter Relay Station, and we then cue back to Earth as we see Kevin working on the Teleporter in the abandoned warehouse with Gwen and the others supervising him in the background.

"Everything looks like it's in the proper position, but I can't make it work. Sabrina? You might need to have Ship try and fix this-," Kevin says before getting interrupted by the Teleporter activating by itself as they were surprised to see Vanessa, Ben, and Rook Shadow leaping out of the portal as they landed on the ground with the portal closing behind them as the trio dusted off the sand from their clothes.

"Ben! Big Sis! Big Bro!" Gwen, Sabrina, and Knight shouted while running over to hug Ben, Vanessa, and Rook Shadow as they then paused a bit.

"Wait, why are you two half-naked?" An uncomfortable and confused Gwen asked as Vanessa blushed in embarrassment.

"It's a long story."

"Heh, either way, you gave us a big scare there," Kevin says as Sabrina nodded in agreement.

"Yep, but at least Ben and Vanessa got a couple of new aliens." Shadow pointed out as Ben and Vanessa had earlier asked Reiny to allow them to scan his DNA so that they could have Highbreed DNA in their Omnitrix and Zennatrix before they get teleported back to Earth as Reiny agreed to do so.

"Yeah, where's the Highbreed? Did he get away?"

"I doubt it," Ben said with a somber sigh while he, Vanessa, and Rook Shadow bowed their heads sadly as we then cue back to Planet Turrawuste, and we see Reiny staring at the Teleporter somberly before sighing heavily as he turned around to walk away while staring down at his bandaged up and glowing green arm as the Highbreed Commander ignored the roars of the Draveks in the distance.


And done! I hope you guys enjoy the chapter, and I can't wait to write the next one. Also, I want to say that Shadow got his Highbreed Form from his dimension's Reiny, and here is the Voice Actor for the Alien OC:

Highbreed's Voice Actor: Richard McGonagle, specifically the voice that he uses for the character Reiny from Ben 10 Alien Force.

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