One Problem After Another

"Talk"

'Thought'
_____________
"I'll try to talk to my Grandpa, I think he might have a way to fix this, ok?"

After such a revelation not too long ago, they had finally arrived at their destination, specifically standing at the front entrance of an RV called the Rust Bucket. Ben Tennyson was trying his best to keep the hope and motivation alive in the two girls following him.

"Ok..."

Though both Velvet and Coco looks completely lifeless, metaphorically speaking, it was as if all of their hopes and motivation were stolen from them, leaving nothing but a depressed mess, which made Tennyson frown.

'I really hope Grandpa has a way to send them home.'

Ben then looks back at the door of the RV and knocks on it, though after a moment or two, no one replied, which immediately confused him.

"That's odd, he always answers?"

Ben suddenly wore a suspicious face, which did catch the two girls attention.

"Maybe he's not home?"

Coco crossed her arms, it seems that any negative feelings towards him were gone, though was still ever doubtful and unconvinced in what the boy in green was trying to do.

"Hm..."

Ben, after knocking a few more times to be sure, decided to take action, kneeling down to get a hidden key that was hiding under a rock before using it to open the door.

"Stay here, I'll be right back."

The tone that Ben used made both Adel and Scarlatina suddenly be more focused and slightly tensed up, as if realizing they were now in a situation that requires it.

"What's happening?"

Velvet couldn't help but be concerned, while she doesn't know why Tennyson spoke and wore an expression of caution, she knew she was in a serious moment.

"I don't know."

Was all Ben could say as he then carefully walks into the Rust Bucket, leaving the two girls outside, who just looked at each other, still confused on what was going on, though such confusing thoughts were quickly answered by the sounds of loud crashing and breaking, yelling and monstrous growls and screeching, these obvious hints were enough for the Bunny and Fashionista to take action, both rushing into the RV, ready to help the boy in green.

"W-WHAT IS THAT?!"

Though once Velvet and Adel came inside the mobile home, both were both shocked, and maybe a bit disgusted, to see Tennyson fight and hold back some kind of large brain like creature, with golden bronze body that held in gross tendrils and black sharp claws that nearly slashes it's target guts open, it was very clear that this was no normal situation they found themselves in.

"I don't know what you are, but you're to ugly to look at."

Coco wasted no time pulling out her weapon called Gianduja, unfolding it into it's familiar looking Gatling Gun mode, the brain creature only had enough time to look at her and her weapon with wide eye, before she pulled the trigger and shoots the ever living crap out of it, hundreds of thousands of bullets hitting the monster with enough force to send it flying and crashing through the window, though it seemed to have remained unharmed, since it was able to get back up and ran off, leaving everyone behind to process what just happened.

"W-Wow, so that's what would've happened to me..."

Ben was sitting on the ground, trying to catch his breath after his struggling with the brain creature, while also being thankful and slightly surprised by what the Fashionista was able to do.

"Um, mind explaining what that was?"

Velvet went up to the boy in green and helped him up to his feet, all the while asking what she just saw.

"Definitely wasn't a Grimm, that's for sure."

Coco looked out through the broken window, still having out her Gianduja just incase the brain creature came back, to which she was still worried about since it was able to survive her gun fire, so she was definitely on guard because of this.

"Besides that thing being an alien, I don't know what or who that was."

Once Ben was back to his feet, he immediately rushed to the controls of the RV, wasting no time flipping switches and pressing buttons.

"At least we know we're not in Remnant anymore, I don't even think Aliens existed there."

Coco couldn't help but sigh, even if she and Scarlatina already knew this, it was still hitting hard when more proof shows up to remind them of that fact, which did make Tennyson pause and frown.

"Sorry, it seems that we have to put your trip back home at a pause for a moment."

Ben couldn't help but feel more guilty about the situation they all found themselves in, but before he could blame himself for it, the bunny girl placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, which made him look at her.

"I think we're facing something that's probably more serious than going back home, right Coco?"

Velvet, even if still sadden about her problems, she was still able to reassure and comfort the boy in green, clearly wanting him to know that it was both ok, but were willing to help with his problem as well.

"I doubt he could have anyway, so might as well have something to do while we're stuck here instead of being all depressed about it."

Such thoughts and feelings shared with Coco as well, someone who was once against being with Tennyson, was now ready and willing to work with him, which made him smile.

'I promise, I will find a way to send you both back home.'

This only motivated Ben to help these two even more so, though, after dealing with this new problem that they all find themselves in, he continues to mess with the controls of Rust Bucket, and a moment later of doing this, a hidden space opened and reveal a device within it.

"What's that?"

Velvet couldn't help but ask as both her and Adel watch the boy in green walk up to the item, grabbing it and holding it tightly in his hand.

"Grandpa left a message for me."

Ben narrows his eyes, as if knowing what he just found was something very important to him.

"What kind of message?"

Though just as Coco asked what kind of message that Tennyson was given, the device in his hand immediately turned on and projected a hologram, surprising everyone a bit, as they saw said hologram reveal a certain older man in red, everyone suddenly went quiet as the massage started to play out.

"Hello, Ben, I left this recording where I knew only you would find it."

"I'm in a bit of a situation, but it's nothing I can't handle, certainly nothing for you to worry about."

"There's renewed alien activity on Earth, I'm investigating."

"Oh, don't worry about the Omnitrix, either, I have it, and it's completely safe, they'll never get their

hands on it."

"Say hello to your cousin Gwen for me, love you, Max out."

And with that, the message given to everyone by the one known as Max has suddenly ended, the device turned off and left everyone with a lot to think about.

"Huh, I didn't think your old man was cool like that."

Coco couldn't help but like Max, even though she didn't see a lot, she was familiar with people who were badass like herself, and she could already tell that the person in the recording was someone who has earned her respect and interest.

"He kinda reminds me of Ozpin, maybe Glynda too?"

Velvet couldn't help but agree with her partner, as Max has reminded her of a few people that could only be described as "Professional".

"The Omnitrix?..."

Though Ben didn't really acknowledge what they just said, being in very deep thought and trying to figure out what Max said and actually meant in the message, which the two girls noticed.

"Ben?"

Though before Velvet or Coco could question it, Tennyson immediately started running off, which surprised them from this sudden change of mood and action.

"Let's go!"

Though both Scarlatina and Adel didn't hesitate to follow after Ben, not knowing what he was doing, but had little choice in the matter and just trusted in whatever he had planned next, though as the three ran off, a certain individual in a trench coat and hat could be seen hidden in the distance and watching them with narrow eyes.

"Hm..."
_____________
Do you think Coco and Velvet would want to go back home? I mean at the moment yeah, but later on in the future, do you think they would want to after spending so much time with Ben and the others?

(Do you think Coco and Velvet would have a favorite alien?)
