Hi everyone, Lobo for this side. This is my new story, i'm talking about Albedo's thoughts. I'll write just about the two first series, Omniverse is not inclueded. Sorry if it has mistakes, it's translated and my English is not the better, i'm still learning how to speak and write. So, my appologyze for that.
Enjoy, and don't forget the review, i'll be grateful to read it. That motivate me.
Ben 10 is not mine. I'm just enyoing to write about my point of view.
Everything was spinning around him, he felt dizzy and nauseous as he lay on the ground. He could only hear the sound of an alarm ringing everywhere. He couldn't see clearly, everything was blurry and confusing, but he could perceive what were dark and reddish colors around him that confirmed the alert that had been issued. He slowly sat up while holding onto a wall next to him, grabbed his head trying to calm those sensations and began to take a deep breath to better oxygenate his body and mind.
"What have I done?" He said to himself, before starting to run. He knew that they would soon discover him and that as soon as "He" knew everything, he would probably condemn him to capital punishment.
He wasn't thinking clearly, he didn't even realize where he was. He ran out of what was his laboratory that was next to his room, he didn't take anything with him, he just ran. He didn't fully realize, but everything around him was peculiarly small, he was so focused on running away as soon as possible that despite feeling that something was abnormal he didn't have time to focus and think. He kept running as far away from where he was, the guards would soon find him and capture him.
As he ran away, his left arm collided and brushed hard against a wall, he did not stop to watch, he did not even feel pain, the adrenaline was such that his only focus was to flee.
He found himself in the ship room, all of them were particularly small, he did not understand what was happening, but it was not time to think. He looked around in desperation when he focused on a search ship, these were larger. He ran towards it.
Once inside he pressed all the power buttons and without thinking, he randomly placed a direction as far away as possible. The ship turned on and flew at high speed away.
On Galvan Prime, many armed guards were inside what was Azmuth's right-hand room. The First Thinker made his way through them all, encountering disaster.
"Sir, everything indicates that he fled the planet in a ship shortly after everything happened. It happened very quickly and…" - The commander was speaking to Azmuth, but he was so perplexed that he did not hear him clearly, he never thought that his most valued assistant would go to this extent.
"Oh, Albedo…" - He said with disappointment.
"Sir, do you want us to go out and look for you?" .- Commander Hoquidon commented.
The First Thinker was in shock, he did not answer the question at once. He could not believe it, he knew that his assistant was conceited, arrogant, proud and stubborn, he was the only one who dared to question and express his disagreement with certain decisions, he was definitely not a common gallant, but he never thought he would go to such extremes.
"I want you to investigate everything, EVERYTHING. Do what you think is convenient, I need ... some time to think." - Said the First Thinker.
"Sir?" - The commander asked.
"DO WHATEVER IT TAKES!" - Azmuth shouted, turning his back on them and leaving the place.
The young galvan stood in front of one of the large windows, watching with sadness as he slowly moved away from his home planet. He sighed, but began to feel calmer when he saw no ship chasing him. He placed his right hand on the glass of the window while he looked at the planet and that was when he realized everything... his hand was not really his hand! With fear he looked closely at his reflection in the window and there he saw that he was no longer a galvan, but a human teenager. It was the body of that human, Ben Tennyson! He looked at himself from head to toe before falling to his knees while looking at his human hands, he grabbed his hair with both hands and began to cry inconsolably.
"It can't be" - he thought with great despair, everything had definitely gone wrong.
The young galvan stood in front of one of the large windows, watching sadly as he slowly moved away from his home planet. He sighed, but began to feel calmer when he saw no ship chasing him. He placed his right hand on the window glass while he looked at the planet and that's when he realized everything... his hand wasn't really his hand! With fear he looked closely at his reflection in the window and there he saw that he was no longer a galvan, but a human teenager. It was the body of that human, Ben Tennyson! He looked at himself from head to toe before falling to his knees while looking at his human hands, he grabbed his hair with both hands and began to cry inconsolably.
It took about 10 minutes before Albedo stopped crying and calmed down. He began to feel his surroundings, he felt cold and little by little he also felt something warm covering his left arm up to his hand, it was something liquid. He slowly stood up from the ground and began to look at himself more closely, he was naked and… his left arm was all bloody. He got scared and tried to find the source of the bleeding, there he saw a slightly deep wound on his arm, it was at that moment that he began to feel a sharp pain in the area and a little dizziness, how long had he been injured? Well, that didn't matter now, he had to heal the wound as soon as possible and hope he hadn't lost too much blood, humans were particularly known for being a weak and delicate species. He looked for a first aid kit as quickly as possible, all Galvan ships were always equipped.
It took a while to heal his wound, but he managed it without many complications, the detail was that he had lost a lot of blood, his pale color and all the spillage on the floor confirmed it. That was a problem he couldn't solve at the moment, it was something important, but he had no way to solve it while he was in space. He had to be strong, at least he was standing and stable.
Again he began to feel cold and remembered... he was naked, he was a naked human! How disgusting! He was transformed into Ben's body, a disgusting primate body, almost entirely hairy, thin and simple skin, and on top of that he had his genitals exposed. The word disgusted was not enough for what he felt, it was between horrified, frightened and yes... disgusted again. He had to change form as soon as possible, he searched the dial of his Omnitrix for his species, the Galvan, but it did not appear in the catalog, only Tennyson's 10 aliens appeared. That didn't stop him, with his knowledge of the device he would proceed to configure it, after all, he was Azmuth's smartest assistant and apprentice.

That did not stop him, with his knowledge of the device he would proceed to configure it, after all, he was Azmuth's most intelligent assistant and apprentice.
He didn't notice the time, but what seemed like hours had passed and the device wasn't configuring itself, it was totally synchronized with the human teenager's, no matter how hard he tried, he didn't achieve anything. Albedo wasn't the type of person who gave up easily, despite the results, he tried again with different methods over and over again. The thing is, it was a different time: he was off his planet, he didn't have many tools available on the ship, he was running away from his people, in pain and, to top it off, in a body of a species that was disgusting to him. This time, his patience had really run out, he began to get quite frustrated with each attempt to transform and reconfigure the Omnitrix.
He angrily punched a wall "Damn!" - He said after so many failed attempts.
He sat on the floor totally filled with frustration, he felt like the world had turned against him. All he wanted was justice, HIS justice, what he considered fair for himself.
"I must find Tennyson" - He immediately went to the ship's controls and readjusted the course towards planet Earth. He knew he had to find the human and with him, the original Omnitrix.
It was the only thing he could do at the moment, or so he thought, and once he had a clearer idea of what he would do he remembered that he was still uncovered and that he hadn't eaten anything in hours. He looked for clothes to wear in one of the ship's closets, but there were none that would fit him, they were all designed for the Galvans. He was starting to get annoyed, on top of everything that was happening, he would have to endure the cold and see that horrible human body on its way to Earth. He had to find something to cover himself. He kept searching until he found what seemed to be white blankets somewhere, they weren't exactly clothes, but they were big enough to cover him.
Finally, there is no more human body to see, for now...
It was time to eat, he was already weak from his wounds and lost blood. He walked calmly towards the pantries that store food for travel. In one corner there were dried insects, these were special, they were of the Shiwu species, domestic insects raised and fed in such a way that they were highly enriched in nutrients, at least for a galvan... each one had 50 kcal, most of which was protein, one or two would be enough to keep a galvan nourished for hours. The detail is that he was no longer a galvan, his body was that of a human, a species that is not insectivorous and that also required many more calories. There were not enough Shiwu to feed him properly, he had to find something else. He continued searching and elsewhere he found some small fruits, the galvans did not usually eat them frequently, but they were a complement to their diet, from time to time. He did not think more, he took a handful of Shiwu and put them in his mouth, he began to chew them when... "Iagh!" It couldn't be, what was a delicacy for the Galvan, his human body rejected it. Great...
A few minutes passed, he had forced himself to eat all the Shiwu available and the different types of fruits that were stored. He was a little disgusted, but it was the only food he had there, he had to eat it no matter what. He just hoped there would be no consequences for this, he didn't know how much his body would tolerate it.
He was much calmer now, he sat down and lay down on the floor. What a day. His head was thinking about many things. He was thinking about how things changed from one moment to the next: he was finishing his copy when suddenly something went wrong and there was a reaction that ended up alerting everyone, he knew that what he was secretly building was something that was not going to be tolerated, that's why he fled as soon as he regained consciousness.
He didn't realize it, but the tiredness was such that while he was lost in his thoughts, he also fell asleep. It didn't take long for this to happen.
His eyes widen in surprise, he woke up with a start, for a moment he had forgotten everything and thought he was in his room. He stood up and fell back into reality just looking around. He didn't say anything, he just made a face of dissatisfaction. He scratched behind his neck and headed towards the ship's monitors.
It wasn't the fastest, but he was already quite close to Earth, in a few Earth hours he would already be on the planet, finally something good. How long had he fallen asleep? He had to plan what he would do when he arrived, Tennyson probably didn't know him, he wouldn't give up his Omnitrix lightly, much less in the form he was in.
He thought about solving that when he was there, for now he had to establish a point close to the young human. The planet wasn't one of the largest, but he had never visited it. He knew that Ben belonged to a country in the northern part of the west, but he didn't know the exact location. He set his course to the north, once on the planet he would take care of finding him.
Albedo was sitting on the floor, he had spent a good while and he didn't find how to spend time, it was a little... boring. At a certain moment he felt curious and began to explore this new body. He had seen living humans, but he had never had the opportunity to know their organisms or study them completely. He knew they were mammals; he rubbed his hands together and felt the heat of their body to the touch, they were warm-blooded beings with a temperature that remained relatively stable in relation to the environment; omnivorous feeding, he thought this while he put a finger in his mouth and inspected his teeth, very different from those of the Galvan, it was complex, different teeth with different functions each; thin skin and thin, short hair, he knew that male humans, in majority, when they matured, their fur grew and was more abundant, but Ben was only a teenager; he looked at his hands, he could see the path of his veins and feel them very easily, this made him feel vulnerable for a moment. "I must be careful if I want to stay alive in this body..." thought the young Albedo as he placed a hand on his head.
Suddenly the ship began to beep, bringing Albedo out of his thoughts. The galvan stood up, walked slowly and with his arms crossed he headed towards the window. He had finally arrived, the Earth.
Finally the ship landed. The hatch opened and Albedo walked out, his bare feet coming into contact with the dry earth, boy were they sensitive, he perceived everything. He felt different, the environment was different, where he had landed it was night time which gave his a beautiful view of the starry sky. He took a deep breath inhaling terrestrial oxygen, he wouldn't admit it, but liked it. "So this is Earth? Hmm" - he said to himself. He started walking, he was in a lonely area, it didn't seem like he was near a city.
As he walked, he heard a sound that caught his attention, it sounded like moving water. He followed it and found a beautiful small river. He didn't think twice before getting on his knees and taking a drink of water with both hands... God, how good it felt. As he took the first sip, he sighed and looked at the sky, then began to drink impulsively, he didn't know it, but he was very thirsty.
Satisfied, he got up from the ground, wiping his mouth with his right arm. "What's next?" - It was then that he heard the sound of a gun.
"Stop right there, put your hands up and turn around!" - Someone said.
For a few seconds he was surprised, but then he calmed down, he knew they were just humans. Slowly he turned around to be face to face with them. There were two armed men and a woman with them.
"Who are you and what are you looking for here, boy?" - One of the men demanded an answer, the other just kept pointing with the gun.
Albedo didn't answer anything, but he was ready to transform and get rid of them to continue with his goal. He began to slowly bring his right hand closer to the Omnitrix, when….
"Wait, honey" - The woman said, standing between them and lowering the gun to the man who was speaking. - "Just look at him! It's obvious that this child is lost and is not from around here" - The woman walked towards Albedo slowly, calming him down. "Poor boy, look how you are, let's keep you warm" - The woman took him by the arms and began to guide him out of there.
The men were not happy with this, they looked at each other, lowering their weapons completely. The woman passed guiding Albedo, they exchanged glances, but nothing more happened.
Albedo was inside a small house, they were still far from a town or city. He realized that these people were humble. He looked around at everything, wow, humans were a backward specie; the houses of the Galván were quite equipped, even the simplest had access to the latest technology. He was clear of that, since he was part of the manufacturing and research of new items on a daily basis. While he thought about it, for a moment he remembered his planet and how he worked daily alongside his master to guarantee the best for the species. This was something that would no longer happen. Albedo, discreetly, fell emotionally.
"Aw, don't be sad, here, put this on" - the woman said, noticing Albedo's feelings. She handed him some clothes to wear.
Albedo took them, looking them up and down without saying anything. They weren't like the ones he used in Galvan Prime, but they looked and felt quite comfortable. It was either that or the blankets he was wearing.
It had been an hour or two since he was there, and he still hadn't said his first word to these humans. The lady had sat him down at the table to have dinner with the others.
"I hope you like it, you look so hungry" - the lady said, placing a plate full of food in front of him. Albedo stared at her, "What is this?" - he thought.
The lady noticed how he wasn't motivated to eat her food. - "Come on, don't be shy and eat as much as you want" - she said.
Albedo looked at everyone at the table, both men and the lady were watching, she was expectant, but the gentlemen were looking at him with curiosity. Since he had arrived they had not taken their eyes off him, they suspected something.
Albedo was not attracted to human food, it looked strange and the smell was different, but he felt pressured by the looks, not to mention that he was aware that he needed to eat. Where would he start? With caution he took one of the pieces, he was not entirely convinced, slowly brought it to his mouth and took a bite. He chewed it little by little until he felt that great pleasure, it was fantastic! He continued eating, this time with confidence and some speed. The food had a bomb of flavors, it was not sweet, but it definitely seemed wonderful to the palate, and with a little spicy.
The lady watched him eat and smiled. "Wow! You were really hungry" - she commented without taking her eyes off him - "Ha! No one can resist my food."
"And who could? Your tacos al pastor are the best" - commented one of the men.
"Tacos al pastor... what was this delicacy made of?" Albedo thought as he observed and tasted it carefully, seeing what seemed to be meat although he didn't know what kind, different types of vegetables and sauces. In Galvan Prime this type of food was not seen, only varieties of invertebrates, 85% being insects.
Everyone praised the lady's food when suddenly the man of the house began to speak. "My name is Pedro, Pedro Gonzáles" - He extended his hand to Albedo, to which he did not understand what was happening. What is this human doing with his hand? A few seconds passed before Pedro realized that his greeting was not going to be reciprocated, he slowly withdrew his hand.
"This here is my brother, Manuel." - The man made a simple gesture of greeting.
"And I am Marta" - Said the lady with a big smile as she approached Albedo. Her kindness cut through the tension that was beginning to form in the atmosphere.
Pedro sat down and looked at Albedo while stroking his beard. "What's your name, boy?" he asked.
Albedo continued chewing his food, swallowing and not sure if he wanted to speak, but...
"Shhh, look, that news again" - Marta said while turning up the volume of a small television they had in the living room. Everyone fixed their gaze there.
Albedo took a deep breath and didn't give importance to what they were watching, it must have been those simple human things, he continued eating what was the last portion, but something caught his attention... he slowly lowered the food to the plate and watched. It was a report about a country called the United States. They reported how different creatures had been captured on camera fighting against what seemed to be Knights.
"Come on Marta! That again? It's obvious that the American government always wants to get everyone's attention, they keep their people enslaved through fear" - Manuel said mockingly.
There were a few minutes of silence, the report continued. Albedo had gotten up from her seat and was quite close to the television watching and listening to everything. That must to be Tennyson.
"I don't know, Manu, you know? I think that very strange things have been happening around here lately" - Pedro said, catching Albedo's attention and without taking his look off him.
Again there were a few seconds of silence and tension in the atmosphere.
"What if they are aliens?" - Marta said quickly, with excitement and curiosity.
"Don't be ridiculous, woman! Aliens?" - Manuel began to laugh again - "Those things don't exist, we are alone in this universe. It's clear that they must be one of those strange experiments they do there. Let's leave the Americans with their problems, we already have enough with our own. I don't know why they broadcast this news internationally" - Manuel began to stand up from where he was sitting, it was late and he had to leave.
After this, everyone began to move, Manuel said goodbye to his brother with a gesture and left.
Pedro began to leave, but not before standing next to the young galvan "Tomorrow is another day, boy. We'll see where to lead you." - Again there was some discomfort under his words.
Marta walked slowly towards Albedo and placed one of her hands on his shoulder causing him to look at her.
"Don't pay attention to them, that's how these men are. Thinking that we are alone in the vast universe is something that doesn't make sense to me. Never stop believing" - She said winking at him. - "Come on, you need to rest, I have a place where I can accommodate you."
Marta led Albedo to a room. She stayed at the entrance while he went inside and began to observe everything carefully, it was quite simple and small, there was a bed, some furniture and a window.
Marta sighed deeply catching Albedo's attention. "This was our son's room, Alberto. I know he wouldn't mind sharing it for tonight… - Some tears began to form at the edges of her eyes, she smiled to herself and wiped them away. "Sleep well" - She left closing the door softly.
A few hours had passed, everyone was sleeping, except for Albedo. He was lying face up in bed with both hands behind his head. At one point he got out of bed and slowly approached the door, opening it a little to confirm that the humans were really fast asleep.
With extreme caution he left the house through the window and headed to his ship. He had seen the transmission, it was a matter of capturing the exact location and downloading it to the Omnitrix.
He slowly walked away from the house, looking back all the time and making sure that no one was chasing him. How difficult could it be? He had been able to sneak away and escape from his planet, one much more sophisticated and with greater surveillance. Maybe he was still paranoid.
The landing site of the ship was quite close to the house of the humans who took him in, he was surprised that they hadn't found it.
He had reached the ship, it didn't take him more than a few minutes to get there. He entered and went to the main computer, he began to manipulate it. Few seconds later it reconstructs the old transmission and locate the site of origin.
"I got you!" - Albedo said to himself while downloading everything to his Omnitrix.
"Wow, wow! You're really not a simple child" - Albedo was so focused on everything that he hadn't noticed that Pedro had followed him and was now pointing his gun at him.
Albedo looked at him arrogantly. What does this inferior being think he would do to him? This time Marta wasn't there to save him. He extended his left arm and was going to activate his Omnitrix.
"Be careful what you do!" - He loaded the gun and was going to shoot him.
Almost immediately, Albedo activated his Omnitrix and transformed into a Polymorph, evading the shot. Pedro was scared to see him, that he didn't expect. Without thinking he continued shooting, so much so that he didn't measure the cartridge. He kept pulling the trigger, but nothing came out. He took the gun and threw it at the strange, rubbery, green being to flee the place. This seemed pathetic to Albedo, who lunged at him, causing the human to slip on the material that made up the alien. Pedro fell unconscious when he hit his head.
The young galvan would have liked to completely finish off, but he already had what he wanted, he just had to continue. Luck was on the side of this human.
Albedo returned to his form and activated the ship's self-destruct sequence, not wanting to leave more evidence to the locals. After activating it, he ran outside and without stopping he transformed into an Aerofibian. The rest continued flying.
Pedro regained consciousness and immediately began to look for the human. It was there that he saw the creature in the air moving away. Perplexed, he got up and tried to run after it, but right there the ship exploded, causing it to fall to the ground. Pedro covered himself until the shock passed, looked at what was left of the ship in amazement and then turned his gaze to the sky. There was nothing left.
Marta woke up in the early morning with the sound of roosters. In that town they tended to start the day before the sun rose. She got up and was motivated to see her guest. After enjoying the dinner so much, she was already thinking about what she would prepare for him for breakfast.
When she arrived, she found the room empty and the window open, he had left. She couldn't help but feel sad, but she couldn't do anything anymore. She walked to the window to close it and it was there that she saw something moving on the bed. It was white and moved a little in the breeze that came in, it was a piece of paper. She took it with curiosity and read it, almost instantly a smile appeared on her face and she left.
The paper fell on the bed revealing what it said:
"Thank you"
-Albedo
Thanks for the reading. Love you so much, please, review my writting.
