I find it hilarious that both of the constant reviewers/commenters (Ushindi on FanFic and Trinox on Ao3) both basically asked "Does EightEight know Max?" and I don't know why.
The massive bug thing made an unholy noise, shifting as its tentacles wiggled their way back inside of the unholy creature. The planet it was on was dead, drained of life. Small flakes of white stuff fell around it as three creatures on hover pads observed the creature.
"What does it say?" the smallest alien asked. The smallest appeared to be a tiny golden colored bug with a thorned mouth and a white cloth wrapped around its horn. It skittered slightly on the hover pad.
The medium one, with grey skin, blue eyes, and wearing a large white robe and gemstones, glanced at the bug. It then simply said, "This planet is not enough for the Great One. It must move on to another planet, to devour its resources."
The largest scoffed. It had pale purple skin with a mask-like face, piercing yellow eyes, and wore a white Mayan-like garb with golden bands around its wrists and ankles. "It's never enough, is it?" the largest stated, motioning a large hand towards the massive creature.

"Why are we going outside of Sparksville, Sister EightEight?" Ben asked, looking at the Sotoraggian.
"I believe some of the forms may be better suited out here than in the arena," EightEight answered, stopping near a rock. Ben nodded.
"What do you want us to do?" Gwen asked.
EightEight signed, 'Just transform into whoever you want.' Gwen nodded and activated the watch. Ben tilted his head slightly. She pressed down on the dial.
And promptly face planted as a creature that wasn't available before.
"A new alien?!" Ben chirped, practically jumping over while Kevin ran over.
As whatever Gwen transformed into pushed itself up, Kevin said, "It looks like a big yellow pillbug."
The new alien appeared to be a golden yellow colored pill bug with yellowish white skin, dark yellow markings, and near neon yellow eyes. The Omnitrix's symbol was on one of the dark yellow markings near the transformation's chest.
"What's this?" the form chirped, standing a bit before falling on its rum.
"An Arburian Pelarota?" EightEight questioned, coming over to them.
"What was that?" the Arburian Pelarota asked as EightEight and Ben helped the creature back up.
As the Pelarota's claw touched the Predatrix, Ben replied, "Sister EightEight said it was an Arburian Pelarota."
"Its color looks like the sun," Kevin commented.
Gwen grumbled a bit before saying, "You know what, Zorya. That's the first sun-based deity that comes to mind, so Zorya."
"Pelarotas aren't associated with stars," EightEight stated as Zorya gained her footing. Ben shrugged.
"Erm, what do Arburian Pelarotas do exactly?" Zorya asked.
EightEight signed, 'Curl up and roll, near indestructible shell, somewhat sharp claws.' Zorya nodded a bit when she was finished. Ben and Kevin backed away a bit as Zorya curled into an orb.
As Zorya began trying (and failing) to roll, Ben asked, "Do Arburian Pelarotas have predators?"
"Just say Pelarotas, it's easier, most creatures just drop the 'Arburian' part of any species from Arburia," EightEight started, causing Ben to nodd. Zorya began to roll a bit as EightEight continued, "There are quite a few known creatures that hunt Pelarotas. What comes to mind first are Carcharodons, massive sea dwelling creatures known as the Beasts with a Million Teeth. Other predators of the Pelarotas that come to mind are Melvespas, Harpies, Devouriboh, and Multistillo."
