(Y/N) 10: Maximum Venom (Ben 10 Male Reader x Female Symbiote Harem)

S1 E16: Merry Christmas

(A vulture perches on a cactus in a blazing hot desert, before flying off, past a long-dead animal skull and in front of the Rust Bucket, which barrels down a long road.)

Gwen: (As the Rust Bucket passes by a sign reads "NEXT STOP 100 MILES".) "We are in the middle, of the middle of nowhere..."

(Y/N): (Gwen sighs as she looks at the thermostat reading 108. She, (Y/N), and the girls are suffering under a barely working air-conditioner.) "Grandpa! Can't you crank up the AC?"

Max: (Wiping his forehead of sweat as a dashboard-mounted mini-fan rotates slowly.) "I'm afraid it's at maximum right now. We'll stop at the next gas station."

(Y/N) & Gwen: (Simultaneously.) "We'll be grilled cheese by then!"

(Y/N): "That's it! Time to go small to get cool."

((Y/N) activates the Omnitrix and transforms into Grey Matter. Jumping up from the sofa into the air conditioning unit.)

Grey Matter: "Okay... re-calibrate the Freon evaporation cycle... expand the expansion valves... and realign these condenser coils."

Catherine: "Are you sure you know what you're doing?"

Grey Matter: "One more second and it's ice cube cit..."

(The air conditioner starts sputtering, breaking down, and shooting smoke, causing the Rust Bucket to pull to a stop and the three Tennysons + the girls evacuate.)

Grey Matter: "This doesn't look good!" (Max coughs and looks at (Y/N).)

Grey Matter: "Guess that didn't go as planned huh?"

Ellie: "(N/N), I love you and all, but what the fuck."

(While Max looks unimpressed at (Y/N), Gwen gasps as she sees something in the distance, a large doorway-like structure.)

Grey Matter: "What's that doing in the middle of the desert?" (Gwen tugs on Max's arm to get his attention.)

Gwen: "Grandpa! Can we check it out? Please!"

Max: "Sure. Don't sweat it!" (Max chuckles away to himself to an unimpressed Grey Matter, Gwen, and the girls.) "Ah, sorry, just couldn't help myself."

(The group walks up to the wooden structure, a Christmas-themed doorway with statues standing on either side of the gate.)

Gwen: "Giant toy soldiers? In Death Valley?"

(Max rubs his chin in thought.)

Max: "Hmm, there must have been one of those holiday theme parks here. They probably packed up and left and forgot this thing."

Catherine: (sarcastically) "Who would have guessed?"

(The doorway cracks open just a bit, letting through a gust of snowy wind, carrying snowflakes, to get blown outwards.)

(Y/N): "Do you feel that cold air?"

((Y/N), Gwen, and the girls exchange looks before happily running off into the doorway. Max follows shortly behind them, stepping into a pitch-black void before getting blinded by the white light on the other side. As he stumbles out onto the snowy ground, he's met with the sight of a snow-filled landscape alongside an old-timey town. The group stand in awe of the sight.)
