SixSix smashed his fist on what remained of the Techadon robot.

Again! Another failure because of that accursed boy. No, it wasn't just Tennyson at fault here. The technicians at Techadon had assured him they would send their best models. But these weren't model 17 as requested. They were model 9.

Sure this model was perfect in dealing with the main target, but against Ben 10 these models were nothing but punching bags.

SevenSeven walked over, one of his four mechanical arms that was coming from his jet pack held a piece of rubble with blood on it. SevenSeven was the same build as SixSix, only his armor was a lighter purple and didn't have any black. Now in order to understand the conversation that followed, I will once more translate:

"DNA confirms," SevenSeven said. "Tennyson fought here, he used his Appoplexian form to destroy the first two models, he then rampaged through the area till he came to the third drone."

SixSix clenched his fist around one of the surrounding rubble crushing it to dust. "We were played..." SixSix suddenly roared in fury. "SevenSeven, contact the rest of the 12, tell them that Techadon is going to refund us or die."

SixSix activated his com link. "EightEight, enough games. I'm sending you in. Destroy Tennyson and capture the esper."

EightEight, the most dangerous of the 12. SixSix never wanted to send her in because of how messy she tended to be. But as long as the target was captured alive it didn't matter. Even if the target was inevitably going to be missing a couple of limbs.

"Don't worry, it's not that bad." Ben said as he drove his way to the clinic. Mikoto who sat in the passenger seat next to Ben merely gave a "meep".

" Kuroko had to get her wisdom teeth removed once, she said she was in pain for a week " Mikoto said in a small voice.

Ben tried to think of some words to reassure his current roommate. "It's not that painful, it's just a little sore that's all." Ben said calmly. "Besides, you aren't going to be feeling much of anything the first few hours."

Mikoto looked at Ben curiously. "What do you mean ?"

All Ben said was, "you'll see".

About several hours later, Ben was helping a Misaka Mikoto who was just coming off of anesthesia stumble into the passenger seat of his car.

"Hey Ben , you have a car, did you know that? Cauz no way I did...hehhehheh." Mikoto said in a daze, her eyes unfocused.

Ben just humored her. "Uh yeah, that's nice, now just sit there okay". Ben strapped in Mikoto's seat belt and made sure she was still holding the ice pack to the side of her mouth.

"Hey Ben, Ben, look.. I'm Rath. Let me tell ya somthin ya.... Uh..... I'll tell you ya somthin later."

Ben finally got in the car and began the drive back to his dorm. It had been odd waking up that morning to find himself on the couch. It had been odder still that he was making breakfast for two groggy teenage girls. The oddest part about it all though, was that it felt like they were one small family. Almost as if they had been doing this for a while.

Ben didn't mind, the dorm was pretty large and tended to be pretty lonely. Ben didn't say any of this to his house guests for fear of possibly creeping them out.

"Hey Ben.. Ben....look... I'm ChamAlien" suddenly Mikoto put her hands over Ben's eyes. " Mikoto I'm driving!!" Ben shouted trying not to swerve.

"But I I'm ChamAlien...your not suppooooooosed to seeeeeee me." Somehow Ben was able to get Mikoto's hands off his eyes without getting into a serious accident.

Ben continued to drive for a few minutes while Mikoto hummed and twirled her hand in the air pretending to be HeatBlast throwing fire. That was when things got hectic.

Out of nowhere EightEight jumped in front of the car. Ben stamped on the brakes, but he needn't have tried. EightEight put her hand out in front of her and the car crashed into her outstretched palm. Despite her petite looks, EightEight had massively unnatural strength.

Ben looked up from his air bag. "Mikoto, are you alright?"-

"Yay, Santa stopped the car..."

"I'll take that as a yes." Ben got out of the car to face EightEight. "Wow, so are you SixSix's little sister or something?"

EightEight gave a furious burst of alien syllables and aimed her plasma rifle at Ben.

Ben hit the face plate of the Omnitrix. One flash of green light later Ben was a giant four armed red humanoid muscle creature in a black and white suit. "Rrrrrrraaaaaaaaaarrrrr,!" FourArms ran at EightEight with his four powerful limbs ready to beat down the bounty hunter. With the skill of an agile fighter, EightEight dodged all of FourArms punches and took FourArms by the torso and dropped him, creating an instant crater in the ground.

"Man your tough," FourArms growled. "But can you keep up with this?" FourArms pressed his Omnitrix crest. Another green light flashed. The dinosaur like form of XLR8 appeared.

XLR8 sped off and back, hitting EightEight with moves faster then the speed of sound. EightEight was no match, or was she?

EightEight threw down a sonic grenade which instantly let out a high pitched sound. XLR8 stopped in his tracks clutching his head. EightEight raised her gun and prepared to fire. Suddenly a giant beast made completely of flame came at EightEight as if it had appeared out of thin air. EightEight hissed at the new combatant but could not find a single opening. EightEight then activated her jet pack and flew off into the cityscape.

The flame entity disappeared, leaving a confused XLR8 standing next to a wrecked car. "Where did that come from?" XLR8 muttered. Mikoto of course, was still oblivious.

" Hey Ben, why are you a velociraptor?...Hehehehehehehe....shiny flames."

Hundreds of meters above Ben and Mikoto on a building stood Stiyl Magnus.

"Hmmph, looks like Innocentius was good enough for now."

Tsuchimikado stood behind him wearing his usual grin. "Careful, that one is actually way tougher than she looks."

Style raised an eyebrow." Really?"

Tsuchimikado shrugged. "She managed to floor a full grown Tetramand, the fact that she did that is enough for me."

Stiyl sighed. Just a little longer and it would be time. Stiyl exhaled on his cigar. Almost time............
