Jen 10: Alien Pirate

A pirates life for me

Not much happened in Bellwood a little town on a little island in the grand Line Jen Tennyson had a perfectly normal life, and that's exactly what she wanted, she enjoyed being able to play football and hang out with her friends without worrying some nut job from outer space is going to hunt her down even though it was painfully boring at times, Jen had always dreamed of seeing as many different islands as possible when she was a kid.

Jen was running over to her grandpa Max's houseboat to show him a medal she won In today's match, "hey grandpa open up" Jen yelled as she knocked on the door to the rustbucket, but there was no answer so she used the spare key her grandpa had hidden under a nearby rock when Jen entered the houseboat the place was completely trashed, drawers pulled out and their contents scattered everywhere jen flicked a few buttons on the front console and a secret compartment opened up revealing a circular device, clearly whoever was searching here wasn't familiar with the rustbucket jen thought to herself as she pressed the button on the circular device causing a hologram of her grandpa max to appear.

"Jen if you're seeing this it means something came up l, don't worry I can handle it myself oh and the Omnitrix is safe with me" the hologram of her grandfather explained before shutting off.

"wait he has the Omnitrix?" Jen thought out loud sadly she didn't have much time to dwell on that thought as a large creature slammed her to the ground, it had yellow skin with black hands and feet and it had a purple squid-like head with an exposed brain and a single eye, instincts took over for Jen she rolled backwards and slammed down on her wrist only to realise that there was nothing there, Jen quickly thought up a backup plan she grabbed the nearby fire extinguisher and sprayed it at the approaching alien and while it was blinded she hit it over the head with all of her strength, while the adrenaline was still high Jen bolted out of the rustbucket and ran as fast as she could.

Once Jen made it back home she dug through her old boxes before finding what she was looking for a black and grey watch with a green hourglass symbol on the dial, "what are you doing Grandpa" Jen sighed as she tried to find a reason her grandpa would say he had the Omnitrix when it was clearly still with her, her deep thought was interrupted by her mother barging into her room causing Jen to quickly hide the Omnitrix behind her back at an attempt to not look suspicious.

"oh Jennifer dear, did I mention your cousin Gwen's in town today" Sandra said with a smile.

"what really, I thought she was stationed in the east blue?" Jen thought of her cousin Gwen who had gone off and joined the Marines not too long ago, Jen didn't blame her getting off the island and seeing the world sounded pretty good but Jen could never deal with authority figures.

"I spoke to her a little while ago she said her captain had decided to chase after a band of pirates that slipped their grasp, I do hope a gang of ruffians like that aren't here this island has been pretty lucky with how few pirates come here, you should go see her while she's here" Jen's mom laughed as she went back to the kitchen.

Jen had made her way to the port where Gwen's ship was docked Gwen was currently talking to another marine a young woman with short black hair and glasses, once Gwen noticed Jen approaching she waved and ran over giving her a big hug "Jen it's so good to see you it feels like forever since I was last home" Gwen laughed.

"Glad to see you too, how's marine life treating you?" Jen asked.

"oh it's been good, the past couple of weeks have been really busy, I probably shouldn't be telling you but where on the tail of a pirate crew the captain's worth 30,000,000 Beri" Gwen whispered.

"woah seriously, Gwen I need some advice on something" Jen asked as she played the hologram for Gwen while holding up the Omnitrix.

"I don't understand why he says he has the watch you do, but if he says he's got it covered then I would trust him" Gwen pondered "If you want to put it on again it's your choice, you're allowed to live a normal life you don't need to play the hero".
