The Emerald Fairy

First Quest

Ben stretched his arms and yawned tiredly, it had been a full day since he and the rest of his family joined Fairy Tail. After his battle with Natsu the other day, Max had made him and Gwen help retrofit the Rustbucket to work without using fuel by installing some of the alien tech they had lying around inside the RV.

He groaned quietly as he realised that he should probably look at the Job Board and find something he can do. He recalled his Grampa talking him that since their in a new world that they won't be able to stick by eachother all the time so it would be better if they went out on their own at times, Ben smiled at the memory.

As he stepped over to the board, nothing seemed to stand out to him and after a few moments of looking, he slumped down in defeat before a small glimmer caught his eye.

"Hello..." He said as his eyes landed on a piece of paper that he was positive wasn't there before. "When did you get here?" He mumbled as he tugged the paper off the board and began to read it.

"So I just have to map out a bunch of old ruins?" Ben muttered as he narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "Maybe I can get Gwen to come with me..." He thought as he continued to examine the strange request before shrugging to himself, "Welp, might as well do it." He said before cupping his hands together and calling out to his cousin, "Hey Gwen! Come here a second!"

A couple of moments later and a rather ragged looking Gwen came walking over to him, "What is it Dweeb? I'd only just sat down when you called me." Ben lifted the paper for her to see, "Look at this." He said as Gwen read the job.

"And you're telling me this, why...?" Ben sighed as he looked over to her in disappointment. "You're really going to make say it aren't you?" He asked in annoyance as a vindictive smile grew on her face. "You bet I am."

"Ugh, Fine!" He exclaimed before muttering under his breath, "I'm sorry, what was that Ben?" Gwen asked with a cheeky grin on her face, "Could you speak a little louder so I can hear you?"

Ben growled in annoyance, "I said would you like to come help me on this quest!" Gwen smiled as she gently patted him on his shoulder, "Now was that so hard?"

"Yes..."

Gwen humphed in annoyance as she crossed her arms, "So when do we leave?"
...
Two hours later and Ben was seen packing his clothes onto the bagging area of the train before sitting down next to his cousin.

"There all done!" He said happily as he dusted off his hands and placed his feet in the table. Gwen glanced at him in annoyance while she worked on integrating some of the alien batteries into her computer before sighing in defeat. "Ben... A little help please?" She asked as she turned her computer towards him.

"No problem." He replied as he dialed up Grey Matter on the Omnitrix and pushed down the core. With a bright flash of green light, Ben disappeared and in his place stood a miniscule grey skinned alien with big yellowish-green eyes wearing a white jumpsuit with a thin black vertical strip running down the front, the Omnitrix itself was placed firmly on his back.

Grey Matter did a quick look over Gwen's computer before walking up to it, "Ahhh... I see." He began to shift through the computers components, moving and rearranging each piece as he did so, "All we have to do is place this carbonated data receiver here and that mylopian battery charger there and... Done!" He exclaimed as he closed the laptop before transforming back into his original self.
