We now go to somewhere in the ocean, Ben and the team are sailing from Hong Kong to Singapore. "To get from Hong Kong to Singapore we'll be on the water for three full days. Well, let's relax and keep our spirits up, also... Ben" Joseph asked seeing the shapeshifter in question leaning on the side of the railing. "You doin Okay?" He asked, "f-fine... just getting used to the water, weird though, I never got sea sick in my life" he commented.

At the moment Ben was in a black and green tank top with a white trim and a pair of black and white shorts. "Just take it easy, ooph... looks like Rex there in the same boat with you" Mr. Joestar added pointing to Emerald Rex who was also on the boat's railing sticking his tongue out and was a bit white in the head. "Oh brother... HMPH?!" Ben gasped before leaning over the rail again. Though he hadn't thrown up once.

"Also, what the hell you two!" Joseph said to his grandson and Kakyoin who were still in their school uniforms, "what the heck is with those school uniforms? Isn't it ridiculously hot?" He asked. "Both of us are students," Kakyoin replied. "And good students should dress as students. Though we might be pushing it..." he added. "My school's didn't have a required uniform... (burp) oh god... my old cousin Gwen's old prep school might though? (Burp) good lord..." Ben managed to get out. "So this is bushido, like they say, clear your mind and even flames feel cool" Avdol commented.

"That's all well and good but that won't help you get any girls" Polnareff commented, "don't bet on it" Ben groaned before hearing someone yelling. "Let go! Let go of me! Dammit I said get off of me! What's your problem o said get off!" The voice had come from a boy sneak on board before they left port. "Hey who's that?! I thought we were assured there'd be no other passengers on board but us" Joseph said. "Sorry sir, it's a stowaway, we found this brat on the cabins below" a sailor said as the kid kept kicking and flailing.

"A stowaway?" Joseph repeated confused, "what're you waiting for?! come at me! I'll freaking break your balls!" The kid yelled. "Tell That to the police you little brat, I dare yah!" The sailor retorted making the kid stop. "P-please let me go! I just want to see my dad in Singapore. I'll do anything! Work me as hard as you want!"

The sailor pinched the boy's left cheek. "Hmm. What should I do? Should I let you go?" He grabbed the boy's right ear and started pulling it along with his cheek as the boy continued pleading. "Oh, what shall I do?" He let go of the boy's face before flicking his nose. "I ain't gonna let you go! Not a chance! First I'm gonna go get the captain so come with..." The boy lunged forward and bit down on the sailor's arm, causing him to cry out in pain. The boy then ran to the side of the boat and leaped over the railing into the water.

"Whoa, the kid just jumped in!" Polnareff said in amusement and some admiration. "What spunk!"

"Will that kid be able to swim back to the shore from here?" Kakyoin asked worriedly, walking over to the railing. "I'll go in and get the kid..." Ben groaned steadily standing up, "Wait Ben, you sure that's a good idea?" Jotaro asked, "if the kid jumped in that means he's at least a competent swimmer" he said. "Isn't very competent when there are man eating sharks in said water!" Ben retorted pointing out to sea as a several sharks had reared their fins to the surface. He narrowed his eyes before standing on the railing, "don't worry! Help's on the way!" He yelled jumping into the water, then bursted back out "whew, that feels so much better" he said before swimming to the child. "Better call in better sea legs, or better yet, some fishy fins" he said before turning his legs into Rip Jaws's tail. Then swam after the boy.

"I remember Ben giving me his origins using his brainstorm telepathy, so that most likely is his alien Rip Jaws" Polnareff guessed. "Indeed, from what Ben told me, Rip Jaws Not only has the ability to breathe in water, but that his jaws are powerful enough to rip through steel."

The Frenchman winced at that "talk about your jaws of steel" he said, "Ben watch out, there's a Shark near the kid!" Joseph yelled, "EMERALD REX!" Ben yelled before said dinosaur Stand bursted out of the water with its fist in the fish's face (A/N: before anyone goes saying sharks aren't fish, they are, they cartilaginous fish with flexible skeletons of cartilage) sending him flying.

"Chew on someone your own size!" He yelled scaring the kid as he was right behind him, "come on, I'll take you back to the boat" Ben said. The kid nodded before wrapping his arms around his waist as the shapeshifter took off in a burst of speed towards the boat, that's when Joesph yelled again "Ben! Beneath you! Something's attacking from underwater!"

Ben and Ripjaws spun around, seeing the dead shark and the fins of the new creature before they submerged.

"It's not a shark and it's fast. Get out of there, Ben!"

"Probably another Stand," Ben said to himself. He wasn't going to risk fighting a Stand while an innocent kid was with him so Ben turned his arms into HeatBlast's and blasted a powerful afterburner of flames behind him propelling him and the kid forward. A life preserver was finally thrown to them.

"Ripjaws seems to be pretty fast but so is whatever is chasing them," Avdol observed as Ben and the boy got closer to the preserver. "Will Ben get back in time?"

"Now that they're in range, I'll make sure of it!" Kakyoin said. "Hierophant Green!" The Stand User Then stretches his stand's body to catch him and lucky he did, Ben used WildVine's arm to grab the tentacles and was flung upward. At the same time he sprouted a jet pack from his back and flew up, "I should've thought of that sooner" he said before landing "that thing disappeared! A stand! It has to be a Stand" Polnareff said.

"An aquatic Stand, in all my years dealing with the occult I never heard of such a thing" Avdol commented. Ben turned his attention to the Kidd "Hey you okay?" He asked, then had flinched, when they were pulled up the force knocked the kidney at off and turns out. The boy was really a girl the whole time, "you're... a girl..." he said as she fidgeted her hands a bit, "don't be deceived Ben" Joseph said, "that girl might be the Stand User"

Are you sure?" He looked back at the girl. "Her?"

"It's possible that was all an act to lure one of us out into the water and then attack us with her Stand," Kakyoin rationalized. "If she is the Stand user, should we toss her back into the ocean?" Polnareff suggested.

"Are you crazy?!" Ben hissed at him. "What if she isn't the Stand user? You'd be throwing an innocent little girl to the sharks!"

"I already had the ten people on this boat checked," Joseph said. "This girl is the only one it could be." "How can we find out if she is?" Ben asked, "Hey," Avdol said to the girl. "How is Dio doing?"

The girl gave him a look like he was crazy. "Dio? Who the hell is that?", "For an innocent little girl she certainly has quite the language," Kakyoin couldn't resist saying to Ben.

"Don't act like you don't know, you damn brat!" Polnareff snapped, Ben groaned. Polnareff seemed much more discreet when he had that flesh bud in his head.

The girl fumed. "You damn punks!" She reached into her pocket and pulled out a switchblade. "You wanna fight? I'll take you all one on one! Come on, you cowards!"

"Still think she's innocent now?" Jotaro asked Ben.

"..." Ben stayed silent as the girl tossed the knife between her hands.

"Are you going to fight?" The girl attempted to goad them. "This demon's blade is telling me it's thirsting for the blood of its three hundred and fortieth victim already", "i might reconsider..." Ben said as Kakyoin chuckled at the obvious bravado, which only riled up the girl more.

"W-what's so funny, you stupid grunt?!" She yelled, Kakyoin was only further amused. "Grunt? You know, I really don't think it's her."

Joseph was still skeptical. "But..."

"So this girl is our stowaway?"

The girl screamed as a man grabbed her shoulders from behind. A muscular man with a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, dark blue shirt and red scarf, towered over her.

Joseph recognized him. "Captain!"

"Listen here little missy, I'm pretty strict when it comes to stowaways." The captain easily scooped the girl up. "Even though you're just a girl, if I go easy on you, it will only encourage other stowaways." He twisted her arm, causing her to cry out in pain as her knife fell to the deck. He placed her back down but kept a firm grip on her arm. "We'll just hold you in a room below deck until we reach port." He tightened his grip, causing her to cry out again.

Ben shook in fury "Hey!" He yelled as Rex manifested above him seemingly startling the captain making him release his grip on her. To which she ran hiding behind the shapeshifter, "easy Ben, we're not sure if she the Stand User or not, if she isn't we'll make sure she's treated but we have to be careful. We have an enemy among us" Kakyoin said.

The teen took a deep breath and let his stand disappear, "Captain," Joseph spoke up. "I have to ask but did you verify the identities of all ten men on board?"

"Of course, they're all veterans who have served on this vessel for ten years." The captain said. "I can't say I understand why this has you so worried. By the way..." He walked over to Jotaro, who had smoking a cigarette this entire time, and snatched it right out of his mouth.

"Please refrain from smoking on this ship. What were you planning to do with the ashes and butt when you were finished? Were you going to toss them into this beautiful ocean? You're a guest on this ship, so you must follow her rules, Mr. Outlaw." He rubbed the cigarette against the pin on Jotaro's hat, spreading ash on the brim. The group all tensed at the scene, knowing the captain had just brought disaster upon himself. Unaware of this impending doom, the captain grabbed Jotaro's jacket and dropped the butt into his pocket. "Understand?" He walked away from Jotaro and back toward the stowaway girl currently hiding behind Ben how growled as his condition from earlier started acting up again, then the teenager put his hands into his pockets.

"Hold it." The captain stopped. "You could have just put it out and been done with it. Don't be a condescending prick about it, you asshole."

Unlike all the other times Jotaro had been rude, Ben had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he understood the guy wanted to keep the ocean clean, but on the other hand, what he just done to Jotaro was too much. Though he would've voiced his opinion if his stomach or whatever it is wasn't acting up.

Joseph didn't share this sentiment. "Hey, Jotaro. Quit being rude to the captain. That was your fault."

"Heh. I'm not done being rude just yet," Jotaro said. "That one's not the captain. I figured it out. This guy's the Stand user."

Joseph stared. "Wha..."

"What?!" Ben, Avdol, Kakyoin, and Polnareff said shouted at the same time. Well, Ben mostly groaned as his stand's aura started spazzing our around his body.

The captain, however, just blinked at Jotaro. "St...Stand? What, pray tell, is that?" He looked at all of them in confusion. "This is inconceivable, Jotaro!" Avdol said. "Captain Tennille came recommended with verification by the Speedwagon Foundation! He is completely trustworthy! There is not a chance he is a Stand user!"

"Hold on, here," Captain Tennille spoke up. "A Stand? I haven't a clue what you're talking about."

"Jojo," Polnareff said sternly. "Random guesses will only make this more complicated!"

"To be fair, isn't that what you guys were doing with that girl?" Ben managed to point out, causing every member apart from Jotaro to flinch at this realization.

Kakyoin was the first to collect himself. "That aside, do you have any proof, Jojo?" He asked. "I figured out how to tell a Stand User from a normal person," Jotaro said to the shock of their group.

"What?!" Joseph exclaimed as Jotaro pointed to his own nose.

"If the Stand user inhales even a little bit of smoke," Jotaro said. "A vein pops up at the tip of their nose."

Joseph, Kakyoin, Avdol, Ben, Polnareff, and Captain Tennille all put their hands on the tips of their noses. The girl, on the other hand, stared at them.

Polnareff turned to Jotaro. "You can't be serious, Jotaro!"

"Relax, I was lying," Jotaro confessed before rounding on Captain Tennille. "However...it looks like we found our idiot."

Captain Tennille's jaw dropped and a bead of sweat ran down his face as the others turned to him in shock. The girl looked back and forth between all the males, still trying to figure out what was going on. "Quote impressive, but Jotaro what tipped you off that it was the captain?" Joseph asked, "actually I didn't have a clue, I was planning on doing this with all the crew. But Ben's reaction gave me the idea to tip him first" Jotaro explained.

"What did I do?" Ben groaned trying to stand up, "when you shouted at him Emerald Rex appeared growling with his maw open. That had startled captain tennille, as he is a Stand that is able to be seen by normal people. However I recall you saying that to be safe you'll keep him visible to only stand user's eyes as to not draw suspicion" Jotaro explained. Ben's eyes widened "oh yeah, I continuously had Emerald Rex visible to only stand users since we got to Hong Kong." "And I Noticed that no other member of the crew took notice of the stand, no one aside from the captain here".

"Damn your good, you're right I'm not the real captain, the real deal's already sleeping with the fishes at the bottom of the China sea" eh fake said. "If that's so, I'll make sure you sink to the depths of hell" Ben growled finally getting to his feet, then something happened, he erupted with red aura and yelled in pain. "AAAAHHHH?!?!" After words his Omnitrix glowed red and Emerald Rex materialized out of him suffering the same effect.

In a flash Ben transformed into something, In the transformation Ben's clothes were replaced with a jumpsuit similar to Omni's except the legs were replaced with shorts and was Ruby red. The new creature was similar to said hybrid alien as well except it had red skin and dark red hair. It's eyes were ruby red and it had sharp fangs. It's hair ran down its back taking the shape of dorsal fins. In addition multiple Nemetrix symbols appeared around the new alien's body and the Omnitrix's symbol was replaced by the Nemetrix's. Ben's hands then turned into four fingered claws and his legs looked similar to a dinosaurs'. When the transformation was complete the new alien roared and got down on all fours.
__________________________

Name: Predator

Species: Predasapian

Description: appears similar to Omnisapian except is composed of DNA from various Predatory aliens. Like an Omni's uniform is a full body suit except the legs and sleeves go down to only its fore limbs. This species is red instead of green and is more animalistic. And due to DNA they are quite comfortable consuming live creatures. This creature is surprisingly not aggressive, rather it has a large degree of protective instincts. When Ben is in this form, he feels like an animal parent defending its babies when he is defending his friends.

Powers: like Omni able to transform his features into those of the Nemetrix predators. And in addition is able to copy their powers. Abilities that require different body types, he is able to shape his body to fit that description.

Notable facts: this life form was created after the Nemetrix and the Omnitrix user made contact with its energy. Thanks to this the DNA crossed over to the Omnitrix and allowed it to create this new form.
___________________________

Ben let out a mighty roar that shook the boat, at the same time Emerald Rex's body split down the middle and his right side became red. Along with the symbol on his right shoulder, it took the form of the Nemetrix's symbol and they split apart. The green side was Still Emerald Rex and a full one, the red half however was something new. A large reptilian with dragon like wings, a long serpentine neck, three claws and toes on each foot/hand and a crest like protrusion on its head.

The new creature roared out in unbridled fury while staring down at the other stand users, "woah?! What is that?!" Joseph asked, "some how it appears that by having that new red alien, Ben seems to have gained a new Stand as well" Avdol said surprised. Though the game captain was surprised, he shook it off and smirked again "Well, just because you've gotten yourself a new Stand, don't think you have any chance at beating me" he said. Then they heard the girl Ben rescued scream, looking in her direction they saw it.

Standing on the railing, with the girl in its clutches, was what could only be the imposter's Stand. Like Ben's old alien Ripjaws, it looked like a fishman with a flat head, four eyes, and blue skin with gills all over its body. "I kept my identity hidden hoping to pick you off one by one, five on one would've been so troublesome. The other way would've been much easier, but since you've caught me five on one it is! Catching this girl only shows that Lady Luck is on my side today. I'll just be jumping into these shark-infested waters with her. Of course you guys will end up following us in. If we fight in the water, where I have the advantage, I can beat all six of you!"

"Wanna bet?" Ben stepped forward. "I'm pretty sure I can take you on all by myself."

'Tennille' frowned at Ben's words. Then he noticed the amused looks on the faces of the others. The fact they all honestly believed that this one boy was a match for him made him angry. "You...I was advised to be careful when dealing with you, because nobody knows what your Stand is capable of. You're saying your Stand is capable of beating mine!"

Ben smiled coolly. "Oh, I'm pretty sure."

"Well, I'm not trying to brag but my Dark Blue Moon is really fast in the water. It can swim more elegantly than any fish in the sea." The new Red Stand then growled sinisterly as it mimicked Ben's expression "bring it!" The new Stand then bit his stand's arm forcing him to relinquish the girl before Emerald grabbed her and with the help of Star Platinum punched the fake off the boat. "T-they attacked us faster than I could react... just after I jumped off... how is that possible?" He asked.

"Sorry but it looks like you're the only one sleeping with the fishes today old man" Jotaro said as the others agreed, with the Alien teen turning his attention to the girl again "You okay?" Ben asked the girl, she nodded blushing until they heard Jotaro grunting, looking back at him they saw Jotaro's Stand get covered with barnacles.

"Wait, those are" Avdol stuttered, "those are Acorn Barnacles, they're a type of crustacean that live at high and low tide-.." "GAH?!" Ben then exclaimed feeling his hands stiffen as Emerald Rex's own hand began to have barnacles form on it like Star Platinum. "It must've been that damn Dark Blue Moon" Polnareff said before the red dragon like stand walked over to its brother. It sniffed the barnacles, then sprayed it with some type of orangish liquid which cracked the sea creatures up and broke the casing open freeing Rex.

"Woah, what can that Stand do?" Kakyoin asked, "not sure, but he sue helped me out" Ben said before making the Stand spray Star Platinum's barnacle covered arm with the same fluid. Which broke him free, it then looked for the see and tilted its head towards it, "I think... she's saying to go in" Ben guessed as he and Emerald went to investigate. They saw more barnacles growing, restricting the ship's movement. "I'm going in!" Ben said, "Ben be careful, what he said about his stand may be true" Avdol warned, he nodded as his two stand's dove in.

In the water the reptile used Vicetopus's gills to breath, "Ah so you managed to break out of my barnacles" he heard fake tennille above him. "Lord Dio was had been correct to warn me about you, however under here I have the advantage" he said.

"Don't be so sure fish boy" Ben growled as his two Stands did the same, "let's see how you like my Underwater cutters!" Dark Blue Moon then hurled a current of water at him, Ben released an ink cloud to blind him and swam around the current to bite the captain. Only to be met bu surprise when he felt several small blades hitting his skin. "Interesting isn't it? My Stand's fins are cutters that move faster than a boat's propeller. Much sharper to, I know why you're thinking, you're probably thinking that because my forms are highly adept in the water I can use them to my advantage against him, but before you get over confident..." he was interrupted when something large and hard hit him in the face, which had turned out to be Ben again rolled up in Crabdozer's armor.

"You know you run your mouth a lot" he said before Rex blasted the Stand with Water Hazard's high pressure aqua blade blast. Then the new red dragon went straight for blue moon and bit him again, "gah?! How is this possible?! That stand should've been encased in my barnacles by now! Why isn't it being imprisoned?" The fake exclaimed.

Ben was also confused by it, that was until the Stand sent him a message with their link and he understood, "so that's it, it's pretty obvious that I couldn't even figure it out" he returning to human form with Rip Jaws's gills looking snuggly at the fake captain. "While my Emerald Rex has the ability to copy, archive and utilize the powers of different Stands that he encounters, my new Stand is capable of analyzing my enemy's stand's abilities, and develop abilities and traits to adapt to their powers and become immune to them" he explained.

Enter the predator and prey principle, the ideal that every predator has a specific prey and every prey animals is hunted by specific predators. And when something about prey or predators change said creatures adapt to counter their pursers to pursed. Take for example the if a new predator enters an environment and hunts possible prey item, the prey evolves to fight back against their predators with several defense mechanisms. And in teen the predators adapt and change, developing abilities and weaponry to counter their Prey's defenses.

"Damn, well, if I'm going down! I'm taking you with me!" He yelled wrenching himself from the predator stand's grip and swimming to the bottom. Then had swirled the water around to make a whirlpool, "a last resort plan eh? Well let me give you some fair warning" his new Stand then swam through the center as Blue moon's scales had bounced off her skin "the form that gave rise to my new Stand happens to be named Predator, seemingly because it has the actual power of various predator creatures. And because that my new girl was born from her, she is a predator in her own right and that means she'll need to find prey" he added.

"Glurg, blub blub!" The captain exclaimed as the creature shot out a huge cloud of fluid from its mouth into the water at him. "And I'll say, you're probably thinking what the heck would a Stand even need to eat, well all I can say is. It's fish for dinner"

The Stand user's eyes widened as the red reptile sunk its fangs into his Stand's shoulder and tore it off making it scream underwater. Then proceeded to eat it, then used her claws to slash the Dark Blue Moon's stomach and began devouring its insides. Next game the head as it ripped it... wow the water is getting very red and cloudy, wow. Let's head back up.
Back on the boat the Stardust crusaders were looking down into the water. "Any sign of them?" Joseph asked, "nothing so far, couldn't get far with that scaled whirlpool" Kakyoin said, "hold on!" Jotaro called out "I see something coming up" he said.

In a flash Ben bursted out of the water in human form "man overboard" he called out as a life preserver was tossed to him. "Whew, looks like yah won eh Ben?" Joseph asked, "yeah well... let's not talk about it" he replied, once back on the boat something bad happened.

Apparently to keep them from continuing forward, the phony had planted bombs on the ship. And as of right now everyone was drifting at sea in lifeboats, "in any case, your new Stand may explain your condition earlier" Avdol said. "It does?" Ben asked confused, "yes, it could be possible that Emerald Rex has sensed the danger the imposing Stand could cause, so in response other than gaining its abilities. Emerald had also been trying to replicate itself into a new Stand. And had used the power of your new form you showed us, Predator I believe you called it, to create it" the fortune teller explained.

"Weird" be commented before Avdol handed him another Tarot card, "because you have a new Stand, it would be wise to give it a name" he said. Ben nodded and grabbed one "I believe it's actually a her" he said looking at his card which had showed a dragon head "your card appears to be the dragon card, representing a highly defensive and protective nature, I shall name your Stand Scarlet Draco" Avdol said.

Ben rolled his eyes before noticing the girl, who said her name was Anne, "you may need this" he said handing her a canteen "believe me, it looks like we're gonna be floating on this thing for a long while" he said. She nodded and took a sip.. right before spitting it out.

"Hey that's good water! Don't go wasting it!" Joseph said, "E-e-everyone look!" She said pointing to what looked like a giant freighter ship.

"Yare Yare Dezu" Jotaro muttered seeing it.
