Chapter 02: The New Life of the Human Shape-Shifter
"In the previous chapter we saw how our hero arrived in a new world where creatures live with the ability to make and use magic, everything was fine for our hero until he began to be attacked and chased by a monster owl griffin, Ben using Wildvine was able to confront the monster until the friends of the owl griffin arrived and told Ben about the elixir and the curse, after a complicated plan, they managed to catch the griffin to take the elixir until he returned to normal. And finally our hero decided to introduce himself and what he did not expect was the reactions of his new acquaintances. Will our hero be able to explain to his new acquaintances about him and where he comes from without causing mistrust? Find out now!"
-After the fight with the Owl Griffin and healing her, our hero returns to normal and introduces himself to his new acquaintances.
Ben: It was about time, well, as I was saying, my name is Ben Tennyson, it is a pleasure to meet you.
-Luz, King and Eda were astonished by the boy's display of power, but what most caught their attention, especially Luz and Eda, were Ben's ears, since they were round.
Luz and Eda in their minds: another human? IN THE BOILING ISLANDS?
King: BUT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? WHERE IS MR PLANTA? *surprised*
Luz: Emmmm.... King, I think that boy is or was Mr. Plant *surprised*.
Ben: Ammm... actually the name of that transformation is not Mr. Plant, but Wildvine.
-Eda approaches Ben and gets face to face with him with the intention of observing him carefully.
Ben: Ok..., this is weird, do I have something on my face? or.... *uncomfortable*
-Eda takes a good look at Ben's ears to confirm her suspicions.
Eda: Yes, they're round
-Eda turns away from Ben, since she could confirm her suspicions-
Eda: You are definitely a Human
Ben: And is that a good thing or a bad thing? *doubtful*
Eda: There's nothing to worry about kid, it's just that it's unusual to see humans here, not to say impossible.
Luz: How did you get to the Boiling Islands?
Ben: The what?
Eda: Boiling Islands, they are a chain of islands in the Demon Realm populated by all kinds of magical creatures, the city is located on the corpse of the titan. Every legend that exists among humans is caused by a bit of our world infiltrating theirs.
Ben: Wow, how crazy
Luz: Yeah right *grinning*
Ben in his mind: Wow, I thought Jimmy's conspiracy theories were the weirdest thing in the universe, but compared to this place, he comes up short.
Ben: Well, to answer the question of how I got here, well *he puts his hand in his pants pocket with the intention of taking something out* I got here by this strange key, *shows them the strange key that Ben had*.
Ben: Very strange, isn't it?
-Eda was surprised by the object shown by our hero.
Eda: Another Portal key?
Eda: Where did you get that key kid? *attempts to take the key away from Ben*.
Ben: *dodges the grab* 1. I found it in a mound of Scrap from a dimensional dumpster and 2. What do you think you're doing? This may be the only way I can get home.
Eda: Sorry kid, I just got a big surprise, there is only supposed to be one portal key and I'm supposed to have it.
Ben: Wow, I didn't expect that, well like I said I found it in a junk heap in a dimensional dump. *He puts it back in his pocket.
Eda: Now that's unusual *thinks to himself*.
-After Eda's last answer, about 5 minutes of awkwardness passed, since she was still incredulous about the existence of a second portal key.
King: So, is there anything else you can tell us about yourself?
Luz: Yes, I would like to know what kind of spell you used to transform into Mr. Plant, I mean Wiban.
Ben: It's Wildvine and right now, I'm feeling very tired, I've had a very busy day, you know? I need to rest for a while. Ben: *lies down on the grass*.
Eda: Hey kid
Ben: I told you my name is Ben, Ben Tennyson.
Eda: Ben, would you like me to take you into my house? You don't seem to have a place to go
Luz and King: WHAT????? *surprised*?
Luz: Are you sure, Eda?
King: But if we already have a human, why another one?
Eda: As the human saying goes, two are better than one.
Ben: I don't like the sound of that *he said it serious and distrustful*.
Eda: Relax, it's not for anything bad, so what do you say Ben?
Ben: I don't know, I'm not sure, do you agree? Ammm....
Eda: Oh Titan, but how rude of me, after all this talk I haven't properly introduced myself.
King: And so far you realize that?
Eda: My name is Eda, The Owl Lady, the most powerful Witch of the Boiling Isles *says it proudly*.
Ben: A witch? *surprised*
Ben in his mind: Will she be some kind of Hex or Charmcaster in this world?
Eda: He's my pet King *holds up King*.
King: I'm not a pet, I'm King, King of the demons and....
Eda: Yeah yeah, whatever you say
Eda: And this is my apprentice, her name is Luz, the human, I guess you already met them.
Ben: Well yes, I had to save them because you almost devoured them in your monster form.
Ben: And regarding your offer to stay and live in your house, well .... I accept, the truth is, I don't have a place in this world to stay until my friends arrive to save me.
Eda: Good decision, well I'd better show you your new home in the Boiling Islands.
-Eda summons her owl staff, causing a small Owl to appear out of nowhere and perch on Eda's staff and petrify on it.
Ben: Wow, now I understand why they call you the Owl Lady.
-Eda climbs on her witch's staff, next to Luz and King.
Luz: Ben, aren't you coming?
Ben: Yes, I'm coming, there is only a small problem.
King: And what's the problem?
Ben: There is no room on that cane for me to climb up.
Eda: Well, we do have a problem.
Ben: Don't worry, I'll fly on my own, just show me where we have to go.
King: Wait a minute, Mr. Plant can fly? That's cool
Ben: That his name is Wildvine, and no, he can't fly, but I know someone who can, it's someone I haven't seen in a long, long time *Ben raises his arm, begins to activate the Omnitrix and select the alien he's looking for*.
Eda: Hey Ben, what are you doing playing with your bracelet?
Luz: And who exactly do you know?
Ben: An old friend that I like to call. ......
-Ben presses the dial and is covered with a green glow causing Eda, Luz and King to cover their eyes.
- When the Glow dissipated, Ben found himself no longer there, but a creature with the appearance of a red humanoid manta ray, with two black lines in the shape of lightning bolts running from the shoulders to the Omnitrix symbol. It has yellow horns extending from its mouth and what appear to be gills under its arms and yellow wings that it uses to fly. These wings are attached to the arms. -

"Omit the fact that the transformation is from Alien Force."
Jetray: !!!JETRAY!!!!
-Eda, Luz King were amazed by our hero's ability and transformation into that flying humanoid stingray-.
Luz: that - was - AWESOME *surprised and joyful*.
King: What did you do with Ben, creature?
Jetray: Calm King, it's me Ben.
Luz: What kind of spell did you use to transform yourself?
Eda: I would also like to know, you better tell us on the way, come on Ben, I hope you know how to fly with those wings? *begins to fly next to Luz and King first*.
Jetray: Be sure of it *starts flying and follows Eda, Luz and King*.
Jetray in his mind: I wonder why they think I use spells?
-Ben, Eda, Luz and King found themselves flying around the Boiling Islands to get to Eda's house and show Ben the islands from above.
Jetray: Wow, apparently this place also has its charm.
Luz: I know, this view of the Boiling Islands is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life.
Eda: Alright, enough sights for today, now can you tell me what kind of spell you used to transform into that Wildvine and that thing? *she clicks her fingers twice trying to remember the name of the alien* ¿Jefrey?
Jetray: His name is Jetray, and actually, I don't use spells to transform myself.
-The answer of our hero astonished Eda, since she was 100% convinced that our hero used some spell to transform, it seems that it is not so.
King: But if you don't use a spell, how do you transform?
Luz: Exactly how do you do it?
Jetray: Well... Did you see what I was doing with my watch before I transformed?
King: You seemed to be playing with it, or calibrating something... Did you transform with that watch?
Jetray: Yeah, amazing, isn't it?
Luz: Incredible, I didn't think there was a magic watch capable of doing that.
King: Really, Luz? in the human realm, don't there exist clocks that transform you into monsters?
Luz: Well, there are clocks, but not with that capacity.
King: Then it must be a one-of-a-kind watch.
Eda: How interesting Ben
Jetray: You're right King, the Omnitrix is a very special watch
Luz: Omni... what?
Jetray: Omnitrix, that's the name of my watch, though I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Luz and King: Why do you say that?
Jetray: The Omnitrix, and me especially, we don't use magic.
-Luz, King and especially Eda were stunned by our hero's statement.
Luz: But how come you don't use magic?
Jetray: In my world, the Omnitrix is the most powerful device in the universe, with it I have the ability to transform myself into different aliens with different abilities and powers.
King: Aliens? *doubtful*
Eda: Aliens? *doubtful*
Luz: ¿ALIENÍGENAS? *cheerful and surprised*
Eda: Ok, enough information for today, ¿Aliens? ¿Universe? ¿Shifting clocks? No Magic? *stressed*
Eda: This is all new to me, I need to rest and process all this, fortunately we're almost at the Owl House.
-Eda, along with Luz and King; and Ben arrived at the Owl House, leaving Ben impressed by the size of the house and how archaic it looked.
- The foursome landed without any mishaps.
Jetray: Wow, this is your house?
Eda: Yes it is my house, amazing isn't it?
Jetray: Incredibly huge I would say *he says it walking towards the house being impressed*.
- Suddenly a certain creature in the shape of a tube scares our hero out of surprise.
Hooty: That's right, the Owl House is Awesome *cheerful*.
Hooty: Hello!!!
Jetray: ¡¡¡¡¡AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! *walks backwards in fright causing him to fall down and untransform in the process reverting back to human.
Ben: BUT, WHAT THE HELL?
Eda: Ben, meet Hooty, the guardian of the house.
Eda: Hooty, meet Ben, a new human we found in the forest.
Ben: Nice....... to meet you?
-Luz helps Ben to get up from the fall.
Hooty: Another human, how nice, a new friend and a company for Luz not to be alone.
Luz: Hey Hooty, what are you saying? I'm not alone, I have you and I also have some friends in town.
Hooty: Yes I know, but I am referring to the fact that you are no longer the only one of your species in the Boiling Islands.
Luz: Yes... you are right about that
Eda: Well guys, what are we waiting for? Let's go in at once
-They all entered the house.
Eda: Ben, welcome to the Owl House *fingers snapped and the candles and lights of the place were turned on*.
"imagine it empty and the characters at the door."
Ben: Wow, what a great house, it looks very cozy *sits on the couch*.
Luz: It's also beautiful, when I arrived here a month and a half ago, I was amazed just like you.
Ben: Really Luz, you arrived here a month and a half ago? But how? *Ben: Surprised?
Luz: Well .... How can I tell you, in my house I don't fit in and apparently by fate I came to this world through Eda's portal key without wanting to, I liked a lot what I saw and knew that I decided to stay here to learn how to be a witch like Eda and like my heroine *pulls a book from a shelf* The Good Witch Azura
Ben: Wow, amazing ambition do you know how to cast a spell?
-Our hero kept thinking about the reason why Luz left his house, but decided not to say anything.
Luz: Yes, of course *takes out his notebook and a pencil, draws a strange pattern on a sheet of paper, presses it and the paper with the drawn pattern turns into a light sphere*.
Ben: Incredible *impressed*
Luz: At the moment that's the only spell I know.
Ben: By the way, how does magic work here?
Eda: Magic is the use of supernatural forces or agents to forecast or control natural events. It is an additional force of nature that is present in the Boiling Isles. Magic, once invoked, has the ability to manipulate other natural forces. A spell, the most basic unit of magic, is an invocation of magic that accomplishes a specific change. *starts making magic circles in the air impressing Ben*.
Ben: Wow
Luz: Interesting, isn't it?
Eda: A spell can be simple or complex depending on the degree of change the magician is trying to effect.
Eda: Since Luz is a human, she can't do magic like I do, but with her ingenuity she was able to find an alternate way to use magic without being a demon.
-This flattery caused Luz to blush.
Luz: Oh Eda, it's not that big of a deal
Ben: Cool, I thought you guys were doing incantations to cast your spells and stuff.
Eda and Luz: Incantations?
Ben: I really don't know anything about magic, if my cousin Gwen were here, she would explain what she knows, she is the expert.
Luz: Wait Ben, does your cousin know how to do magic? *cheerful*
Ben: But not the kind of magic of this world, what she does is totally different, she does magic since we were 10 years old, she learned a lot and became an expert.
Luz: Wow how impressive
Eda: ok ok ok I must rest, all this information is blowing my mind, I need to rest, you should also do the same *she points to a window*, it's already dark.
Eda: Tomorrow we have a lot of things to do
Ben: Like what exactly?
Eda: It will be a surprise, Luz don't say anything about it, don't ruin the surprise.
Luz: Understood Eda
Eda: Alright, see you tomorrow *yawns*.
King: *yawns* See you two tomorrow *still yawning*.
Luz: Well I'd better sleep too, good night Ben *goes to his room*.
Ben: I think I should go to sleep too *goes into the corridors of the Owl house*.
Ben: For a big house, it has few rooms.
-Fortunately he was able to find a room that didn't look like a room as such, it's a room not so full of household items that aren't used much, but at least it would be useful for Ben.
-Ben used his portal and returned for a moment to the empty dimension where he was in order to look for things he needed to spend the night.
-Fortunately, our hero was able to find a mattress and a pillow, dirty but in good condition, along with a change of clothes to use as pajamas in this world.
"Coincidentally it's the same clothes Ben sleeps in in Alien Supremacy, A black polo shirt and white shorts."
" Ben's pajama reference"
-Ben returned to the Owl House and set about setting up the things he found and changing his clothes to get ready for bed.
Ben: It's not what I expected, but at least this adventure in this world will help me get rid of the boredom I've been suffering these days. I hope that Gwen, Kevin and Rook can find me and find a way to return home.
Thus the first day in this world of our hero came to an end, will he manage to adapt completely to the Boiling Island with his powers, and will his friends manage to rescue him?
Find out in the next chapter.
I hope you like it and give me your support, with me it will be until next time.
Bye.........
