/No One's POV/

Narrator: "Space. Vast, empty." Explosions can be seen on the asteroid best of a planet. "Eh... mostly empty?" We get a closer look and a small grey and green alien, yes I said alien, ship is being bombarded by a brown and fire-orange ship that's five times as big. They hit the hull of the smaller ship and it shacked violently. The small ship pulled back and fired its artillery lasers along the hull of its oppressors, causing a small explosion. Inside, a crew member examined the damage on their monitor.

Crew member: "Hull damage: 20%, but the System's still operational." He turned to address his master.

Narrator: "A green-skinned seafood platter of a monster- Ahem! I mean, man... woman? Squid! Let's call them Squid Face. Sat on a throne, watching the battle unfold."

Squid Face: "I have come too far to be denied." The large ship chased after the smaller vessel, repeatedly firing its cannons. Squid Face raised his four-fingered hand in a claw, shaking angrily. "The Omnitrix shall be mine, and there is not a being in the galaxy that dares stand in my way." He closed his hand into a fist and slammed it on his chair's armrest.

Narrator: "Now that's where you're wrong Squid Face! For there are TWO beings in this galaxy that will challenge you. Let's go see them, shall we?" A human boy carefully folds a piece of paper into an airplane. The boy had short brown hair, green eyes, and white skin. A kid next to him was doing the same and he had (H/L) (H/C) hair, (E/C), and (S/C) skin. They hold up their planes and gave each other a look and nodded with a smile. They both threw it across their classroom and the first boy hit their teacher in the back of the head while the other boy's plane hit the wall and landed in the trash bin. The teacher unhappily looked over her shoulder and the boys hid behind their books.

Narrator: "Is... is this what we got? Two kids? *Distant* Do we have no one better? ...You're kidding. Them?!" A chair scotches closer to the mic. "Well... We're doomed."


/(Y/N)'s POV/

I laid my head on my hands on the desk as I watched the clock slowly tick away. Man, summer can't come fast enough! 

Ben: "Come on, come on." The minute hand moved to fifty-nine. One more minute! Our teacher stood up.

Teacher: "And I just want to remind you all that I will be teaching summer school this year, and it's not too late to sign up." I quietly snort.

Ben: "Yeah, right."

(Y/N): "Like I want to be bored all summer." The bell rings.

Ben: "Yes!" He excitedly stands up and I pack my bag. "Out of here!" He makes for the exit.

(Y/N): "Hey, wait up!" I shove my notebooks and pencils in my bag and run after him.

Teacher: "Everyone, have a good vacation, and I hope to see you all again in the fall." We were about to walk out the door. "Benjamin, Mr. (L/N)." I flinch and turn around. She was holding Ben's paper airplane.  "Could I have a word with you before you go?" He grumbles and walks over to her desk. I try to sneak out. "You too."

(Y/N): "Aw, man." We take her lecture and leave the class. "I can't believe you got me in trouble."

Ben: "Hey, you were the one who agreed to have an airplane race."

(Y/N): "Still..." We walk for a little bit. "I won though."

Ben: "Did not!"

(Y/N): "Did too! Mine landed straight in the trash bin. Much like your aim."
