Right now Ben, Yona and Hak were sort of taking a tour of the white dragon clan village. Ben had to admit that it was very nice, "Hey come on get me out of here!!" A voice said.

The shapeshifter looked to the source to see Yun trapped in a cage, "oh there you are I was worried for a sec" he said. "Release the boy" the man from
Earlier said, "but sir" the person guarding Yun's cage objected. The man gestured to Ben and Yona, "we have a crimson haired guest and an emerald green guest here with us" he said.

"Oh my" Yun was then released from his wooden prison. "What's going on?" He asked Ben and Hak, "not sure, as soon as they saw the princess" the general said. "And my Omnitrix they backed off" Ben added.

Later on they were under a big tree, "again I apologize for acting so rudely earlier" the man said. "This is the village of the white dragon warrior one of the four dragon warriors of legend. Once his role in the mythical era war was completed he retired here, we've had to fight off many power hungry invaders who would try and take the dragon's blood to obtain the power it carries" he explained.

"Reminds me of that Galvan who was guarding that piece of Maltruent" Ben muttered to himself. "It's our job to protect the white dragon's blood line to pass it on to new generations".

Ben then heard a scream and then felt a heavy thud, "uh what was that?" He asked. "That most likely Mari again" the leader said nonchalantly, Ben rushed over to see an adolescent girl with white, green, blue and yellow hair. "Oh that hurt" she groaned rubbing her head, in addition to her multi colored hair Ben saw that her arms, legs and eyes were those of a dragon's.

"Uh you okay?" He asked, she looked at Ben and tried to cover up her dragon parts. "Uh yeah just fine" she replied then ran as fast as she could. Which to human standards was five meters per minute.

"Uh... what's with her?", the shapeshifter walked back to the village to see his group sitting under the tree. "Hey Ben where've you been?" Yun asked, "went to check that loud thud next thing I see was a girl" he said. "That was Mari" the leader said again, "around here Mari is considered, well... an outsider... she may have been born with the white dragon's blood, but she was more than that" he explained.

"She had all the traits from the four warriors, the claws of the white dragon, the legs of the green dragon, the eyes of the blue dragon and the indestructible body of the yellow dragon". "I can see that... but I guess you consider her an outsider because of the fact that she had multi-colored hair. And her extra dragon blood" Ben inquired, "yes, though we are all ashamed to say she is, all she wants to do is be as strong as her cousin" the leader said.

"Though she has a second dragon arm contrary to the pure bred white dragon's one arm, both her arms are half the strength. Same goes for her legs, her eyes and body however are just as strong though" the elder walked off.

"You don't say" Ben said walking around, then he saw Mari again, this time she was climbing the walls of
The canyon that hid the village. She had almost reached the top before a rock was thrown at her butt and it made her fall "oh no" Ben said catching her.

"Ow... thanks... hey you're that kid from earlier" she said, "yeah, so you're Mari" he said. "That man from earlier told me that you had the power of all four dragons right? Claws, legs eyes and body" he asked. She nodded "but your arms and legs were only half the strength of the actual dragon warriors" Ben added.

She sighed then nodded, "yes, I'm trying to get stronger so I can be like both of my cousins. Problem is, they seem to only stay at this strength" she admitted. "Maybe there's a reason both of your arms are only half as strong as the white dragon warrior's arm" Ben said.

She looked at him confused "think about it, your arms used separately are half as strong right, maybe it's because it's trying to keep a balance. If that's the case maybe you can use both of them at the same time or used your legs to assist you" he explained. Mari's eyes widened, she looked at her dragon arms and legs, then turned to a nearby boulder.

She has seen her older cousin break another at the same size with his one arm. She then charged at it thrusting her claws forward while her legs propelled her to the rock. The resulting added force managed to shatter the boulder completely.

She looked at the pile of pebbles shocked at the feat she had accomplished. "That... was me?" She asked, Ben patted her head "yup all you, and it looks like I was right. By adding your dragon leg's strength to your arm you were able to be as strong as the white dragon" he smirked.

She then tugged on his shirt "uh... mind teaching me more?" She asked, Ben looked at her then smiled. "Sure, there will be a lot to learn about your powers" he said.

They trained for a while then headed back to the center of town, "man that was amazing, I can't wait to show the village" she said. Ben chuckled at her enthusiasm, then saw an attractive (to girls) white haired man staring at Yona.

He had a large white arm covered in reptile like scales "that must be the white dragon right Mari?... uh Mari are you okay" Ben asked her. She had been staring at the white dragon warrior, but Ben soon realized that she was also staring at Yona.

Both of them then cried in agony as their dragon limbs seemed to violently expand in size. Not only that but for Mari, her skin started to grow small scales, orange on her neck, purple on her back, bronze on her lips, and black on her lower hips.

In addition her purple scales deployed purple wings. Her black scales sprouted a long dragon like tail, and Mari ended up breathing fire. Then both passed out.

"woah what happened to them? Mari please tell me you're okay" Ben begged gently shaking her. The villagers rushed to both of the dragon blood holders. "Oh my... Mari... what happened?" A woman asked, "not sure all she did was stare at Yona and next thing I knew she ended up getting new features and did what the white dragon did" Ben explained.

Said warrior got back up then bowed down to Yona, "you are now my master" he said. Mari got back up also and did the same, "as you are his, I am also at your service my master" she said.

"Mari? Hey why do you have wings, and a tail?" The white dragon asked the little girl. She blinked in confusion and touched her back and felt her wings, then she made a startled face. Mari looked back to see her tail, "oh my" she said utterly surprised.

"I think seeing Yona made the dragon's blood in the white dragon warrior recognize her as the descendant of the crimson dragon king" Ben elaborated. "That might explain Nia's reaction to" he added, "how could seeing the crimson dragon give Mari new powers" an old woman asked.

She was rather small and was carried by four other women on some sort of wooden platform. "Well, Nia's dragon blood must've recognized her power is slightly weaker than her cousin's. So in order to give her more strength she gained new powers to make her even with the white dragon" Ben explained.

"This is only a theory though" he added, "wow" Mari awed then felt her mouth feel funny.

The fallen princess had explained that she needed his help to unite the four dragon warriors. In order to bring peace back to the land, and thankfully he agreed.

So did Mari, she was so excited that she flew up into the air with her new dragon wings. And little to say she flew rather clumsily "uh... I'll go get her" Ben said turning into Omni and flew up with Chaopteryx's wings.

The fallowing night the village had a huge party in celebration of the white dragon finally finding his master. And for Mari's master to, she discovered her fire breath power along with a unique tongue ability to. That was discovered when he wanted to grab a far off food and her tongue shot out of her mouth and grabbed what she wanted then pulled it back in.

Ben chuckled, "you have so much to learn" he said to his new student, she just smiled in response. "As long as I'm protecting my master and fighting alongside you and my cousin, I'll put up with anything" she declared.

"My little cousin's all grown up huh?" The white dragon had said, Ben and him had talked a little while earlier. The white dragon warrior was a pretty nice guy, a little bit prideful at times and slightly squeamish but alright. And his name was also Gija, "you can say that again" Ben said.

He decided to give the villagers a demonstration of his powers by using Chromastone's crystals to make a picture in the sky. Out of his rainbow lasers by connecting stars.

The next day the gang was already on the road, the old woman in Gija's village had attempted to give him some supplies. Including new clothes and a coat, a decade's worth of medicine, moisturizer to keep up his good looks, and even a young maiden.

Ben had stored them in his null space projector before they left just to be safe, not the young lady of course. "So how do we track the other dragons?" Ben asked, "as can do that" Gija said.

"Oh yeah, those born with the dragon's blood have the power to find the other dragons" Mari added. "I'll let my cousin do it because he's better" she explained then got back.

Time skip
(Time skip brought to you by Ben's Gutrot form's sulfur dioxide)

As of right now, the shapeshifter had been teaching Mari how to fly, "you're getting better Mari" he said. She was flying next to him "thanks, just need to... WAH!?!?!? Watch those wind currents" she said.

Ben stopped in front of her and she also stopped "okay let's try something else, try breathing fire" he ordered. "Got it sensei" Mari inhaled and blasted a small fire ball that exploded next to Gija. Little to say the white dragon was startled "oops sorry cousin" She apologized then flew down.

"Okay now lets practice with that tail of yours" Ben said, she wagged it a little, "what can I do with a tail?" She asked. "A lot of things, like for instance try combining it with your leg's leaping strength" he added. She wagged her tail a little then launched up into the air by both jumping and slamming her tail down to boost her upwards.

"Nice job Mari" Ben yelled, she landed next to him, the two had turned to see Gija and Hak arguing with one another. "I've got the feeling this is going to be a regular thing with them" Ben said. "Most likely sensei" the dragon girl said, then were stunned seeing Yona come between the two and bopped them in the chin.

"That's enough you two!" She said, "we're going to be spending a lot of time together so no more fighting". "My sincere apologies princess Yona" Gina said, "Hak this is Gija's first trip away from home so he's very nervous so leave him alone" Yona said.

"And that means this is your first time too?" Ben asked Mari "yes" she replied. "What I'm not nervous!!" The white dragon responded, "Gija teasing people is Hak's hobby so don't take it personally" the flame haired princess said.

"Um yes" "my hobby?" Hak retorted, "hey if you guys are done we need to go" Yun said. "Coming" Mari and Ben said as they fallowed the young boy.

A couple hours of walking Yun asked if Gija can sense the other dragon warriors. He replied with "if I focus my mind's eye hard enough I can usually find my way to them". "Really!? Which one is closest?" Yun asked, "let me see".

The white dragon closed his eyes then pointed in one direction saying that the blue dragon was closest. "Are you sure Gija?" Ben asked, "nothing to fear, just fallow my lead and we'll..." Gija said but was cut off by Yun. "HAVE NO FEAR HOW CAN I HAVE NO FEAR IF WE'RE FALLOWING A GUY WHO'S NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE!?!!!" Yun yelled.

"I may not have been out in the world but I do know about it!" He retorted, "my people have traveled far and wide and collected data which I have studied my whole life". "I also got a peak of that information" Mari said, then Gija fell down a hole.

"COUSIN!!! Are you okay!?" Mari said hovering above the hole, "uh what are these!? They're nasty, no don't do that!" Gija said before screaming like a mad man.

"Here grab my tail" Mari yelled lowering her tail, then pulled him out, along with a few centipedes and caterpillars. "What... what are these!?" She shivered, "don't worry they're only bugs they can't hurt you as long as you keep still..." Ben said to her.

Before one landed on her fore head and she screamed also at the same time blasting fire out. "That was scary" she said hanging onto Ben for dear life, "looks like the white dragon is no match for some measly bugs. And unlike your little cousin there she managed to burn the bugs" Hal teased.

"ITS NOT THAT I JUST DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING SLIMY CREATURES CRAWLING ALL OVER ME OKAY!!! Listen, my power was bestowed upon me, not by a human but by the proud white dragon. So show some respect you mongrel" Gija threatened.

"Ooh looks there's another centipede" the spear weilder said to make The white dragon freak or again. Along with his multicolored cousin who breathed fire everywhere in response. "If any case I'm not counting on your dusty old dragon power to protect us, Mari's maybe" Hak added.

"You dare doubt my strength?!", "wanna go?", the two along with Ben flinched. Hak guarded Yona? While Ben guarded both Mari and Yun. "Princess get back" Hak said, "what why?" Yona asked, Ben spoke up "someone's coming, and a whole lot of them by the sounds of their foot steps" he said.

"And they seem like a very rough bunch" Gija said, "oh no we're near fire clan territory" Yun exclaimed. "Are we enemies of them?" Mari asked, "soul enemies" Hak said.

"Mari keep Yona and Yun safe, me Hak and Gija will handle them" Ben ordered, she grabbed them both and pulled them to safety.

After a while, a large group of men arrived and by the looks of them, most likely a bunch of thrives and bandits. "Looks like we've hit the jackpot today boys" one said "no way these guys don't look like they've got anything on them" another said. "Ah, nothing but a bunch of bandits" Hak retorted, "I wouldn't call them nothing" Gija warned.

"That's right, looks can always be deceiving" Ben said, "oh they've got something alright, three beautiful girls over there" one of the bandits said gesturing to where the girl's and Yun were hiding.

"I'm a beautiful boy you jerk" Yun deadpanned, the same one walked up to Gija "and this one looks like he'll fetch a pretty price" he said. "Hak, Ben, its okay if I slash this guy right?" The white dragon warrior asked, "no but you can runaway if you like" the spear General replied. "Not a chance".

"You two can run, it's been a while since I got into a good fight" Ben said, "ha they thing they can take us" a bandit asked before grabbing Gija's dragon arm.

Which had burned him, "aaahhhhh!?" "What what did he do to you?" "I don't know his arm was hot, like it burned me when I touched him".

Gija' arm throbbed, "don't for one second think you can just put your hands on me" he said. "This power's been waiting thousands of years to serve its master, even I have no control over it".

The white dragon's arm then increases in size and was way more lethal. He started slashing bandits left from right, Hak had admitted that Gija fights a lot beastlier than his appearance suggests. Then took the wrappings off his spear head, while those two were doing that Ben had gone predator and tramped any bandit he saw with Crab Dozer's strength, size and horns.

"Not as beastly as me" he roared crashing past the two warriors, after charging, Predator shrank down and sprayed acid on the group of bandits. "Want more here it comes" Ben said grabbing Hak and Gija in with two Vicetopus tentacles and swung them around at amazing speeds. This allowed the two to strike multiple targets at once.

"Behind the bushes Yona was trying to fire some arrows and Mari had kept four bandits at bey. As it turns out a dragon like youth was nothing to sneeze at, her threatening involved either strangled by her tail, torn by her claws, or burned by fire.

For the bandits fear won over profit when they tried to fight Mari.

Further away, a figure that was in a tree had been watching the battle, and had admitted that she hadn't seen anything like Ben before. "Hmm interesting, I've never seen a warrior who can change his shape. Regardless I have to keep focus on the assignment, capturing princess Yona. Soo won said he wanted her alive" she said to herself.

"But he also said death would also do", she then rushed forward to attack Yona only tone back handed by a large draconic arm. An arm which. Belonged to Mari, "ow..." the assassin groaned as she hit the dirt.

By this time all the bandits were defeated and scrambled off, "hey Mari, who's that you knocked out?" Ben asked. "Not sure but I think she was going to attack the princess" the dragoness said.

"If that's so then we should probably execute..." Hak and Gija brought out their chosen weapons when Ben intervened. "Nope nope no, interrogate her, not kill interrogate" he yelled then creates diamond handcuffs on her wrists.

"Well since Mari's the one who got that assassin I'd say she's up on score with Ben" Hak said, Gija Then retorted that he thought no one was keeping score in the first place. Then he and Mari fell to their knees as their dragon parts glowed with black aura.

"Ow... it hurts..." the younger dragon said, "Mari are you okay?" Ben asked, "fine... I think I over did it like Gija, my dragon's blood... it wanted more than what I was willing to dish out" she said. "Easy easy, just calm down" Ben said, the they heard a small thud.

Looking back, they saw Hak fall over in a heap, Yun went over too check only to see the warrior opened up his wounds again. At the sight of the blood Mari fainted.

A moment later they had found a place to camp for the night in the forests, Gija had carried Hak on his shoulder with the help of his dragon arm. While Ben had been carrying their little assassin with Gravattack's gravikinesis.

Right now she woke up to find herself immobilized in crystal cuffs, "seems like you're in a pickle" Ben said. "Now tell us why you were going to kill Princess Yona!" Gija said. "It's nothing personal, it's only an assignment, the king, not to mention a personal pain in my a**". A/N: just for the record I still hate cursing it's just starting to get irritating with always putting bleeps instead of the actual words so no I'm doing italics).

"Soo Won hired me to either bring Princess Yona back to the castle or kill her. But I wasn't going to" assassin said. "Huh?" The group tilted their heads, "I was only going to grab a piece of that oaf's bandages. I saw you a couple days ago and have been fallowing for a while. I knew General lightning beast over there had a fatal injury so I planned to wait for him to make a slight bleeding episode and sneak one of his bandages then see if the princess might've gotten scratched. Then got some blood from her, and after show both to Soo Won".

She exaplained, "so you actually didn't mean to kill the princess?" Yun questioned, "nope, if anything I hope she may take the throne, and from what I saw these past few days I say she deserves it. And I'll do anything to fool Soo Won" the assassin added.

"So you were playing him?" Yona asked, "I was actually planning to get the bloody bandages from Hak over there, but when I saw those bandits attacking you I tried to push myself from using your harm to my advantage" she said.

"Anyway you can let me go now" she said, "But you're still an assassin and might tell the king where we are" Yun said. "Don't worry I'm not, and anyways I wasn't planning on faking my death anyway so I can stop being an assassin for hire" the girl admitted.

"You think I like this job, I don't want to kill people, but this was the only job I had the skills for" she said. Then "actually I had already planted a piece of my armor on the side of the road for one of Soo Won's soldiers to find and bring to him showing I was dead".

"How can we be sure?... big brother what are you doing?" Yun asked Ben who was using Brainstorm's head to scan the girl's mind. He stopped and said "she's telling the truth, I used my powers to read her kind and tell whether she was lying or not... and we also sorry about the invasion of personal space" Ben apologized.

The former assassin shrugged "well if Sensei says it's okay then I'm for it also" Mari said. "Are you serious?!" Yun yelled, "can't argue with Ben's powers" Yona said. "Princess you can't be serious!!" Gija said, Ben then sent a small DNA beam to Yun and his head turned into a hybrid with Brainstorm's. "GAH HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?" He exclaimed.

"It's okay I can turn you back, I just want you to read her mind with Brianstorm's powers" Ben instructed. Yun reluctantly did as requested and read the girl's mind. Then sighed in defeat "yup she's telling the truth" he said as his head turned back.

Ben then released her from her diamond shackles, "thanks, by the way mind if I join you? If anything I want to give Soo Won a major a** whooping" she said. "Or at the very least tick him off" she said.

"Is that okay with you Yona?" Ben asked, "I guess it's okay, besides considering the looks of things I think it be good to have another girl on this team" she said. "But aren't there three of you already?" The assassin asked pointing at Mari, Yona and Yun "I'M A BOY!!!!" The latter yelled.

"I'm just kidding" The she ninja said placatingly, "okay well looks like you're in" Ben said. Gija and Hak were arguing on this and Yona hit them both in their chins again.

"So what's you're name?" Ben asked, "well before my name for hire was Silenceia, silent kill, but my real name is Nia" she said. "Well nice to meet you Nia" Yona said, "same here princess" she replied.

Ben just looked at his new team, 'this'll be an interesting new adventure' he thought.
