Things Out There(Ben 10 X Digimon)

Kevin Levin

My Pov

We arrived in New York and waited in the hotel lobby while Mr. Max check us in to our room.

"This hotel has everything! Indoor pool, full day spa..." Gwen said, reading the pamphlet in her hands. We were actually going to be checking into a hotel for once. It was exciting. I had never been to a hotel before. Neither had Mei. Speaking of Mei, she, Tsunomon and Yokomon were all hiding in our backpacks.

"Don't get use to it. It's only for one night." Mr. Max said. I noticed that Ben was looking in a certain direction. I looked and saw a room that was hosting the new Sumo Slammers video game.

"Ben, don't even think about." I warned. I knew what was going through his head. Hey, I've known him since he was a year old. I was only six months younger than him and Gwen. Mr. Max looked at us.

"Ben, I know what you're thinking. Don't try and sneak in there." Mr. Max warned.

"Yeah. You'll get us thrown out." Gwen said.

"Okay. I won't." Ben said. We walked toward the elevator when Mei whispered to me.

"Lynn, Ben's messing with the Omnitrix!" Mei said. I looked and saw Ben fiddling with it. I ran and grabbed his wrist just as he was about to slam his hand down on the it.

"What did I just say Ben?" I asked. I pulled him toward the elevator.

"Nice catch Lynn." Gwen said.

"It's a good thing you're here Lynn. You manage to keep Ben in line." Mr. Max said.

"Or ruin my fun." Ben pouted. We took the elevator up to our room. Ben and Mr. Max shared a room, while Gwen and I were in the adjoining room. We set everything but our backpacks down.

"Kids, there's a video arcade just a little ways away from here. Why don't you kill some time there?" Mr. Max suggested. We agreed and headed down to the arcade. Ben purchased some tokens and started with a baseball simulator game. Right as the game started, 'Game Over' flashed across the screen.

"Game over? It just started." Ben said.

"Maybe there's something wrong with it." I said. I saw one of the workers. "Sir, I think something's wrong with the game."

"Yeah. It ate my tokens." Ben said.

"Read the sign, kids. It says 'Play at your own risk'." the worker rudely replied before walking away.

"This place is a ripoff, you know that?" Ben snapped back. That's when a voice sounded behind us.

"You're right. The games here stink." a boy said. We looked and saw a boy who looked around Ben's age, with black hair and brown eyes.

"Yeah, but not as bad as his breath. Major case of sewer mouth." Ben joked. The boy laughed.

"You're funny. Here, you own me one." the boy said. He placed his hand on one of the games. Electricity flowed from his hand into the game, causing a shower of game tokens to spill from the game. Ben scooped up many of the tokens.

"How'd you do that?" Ben asked.

"I got some skills." the boy said.

"We can't take those . They're not ours." Gwen said.

"They are now." Ben said. "I'm Ben. This is my dweeb cousin Gwen and my best friend Lynn."

"I'm Kevin." the boy said. I looked at the boy in shock. He had the same powers that I did. That's when I noticed something clipped to his pant's pocket. It was a Digivice!
