Chapter 16 - Chapter - 16 Aunt Vera Part - 1, Wildmutt

It was morning.

Ben and Gwen were ordering ice cream in a shop, while Grandpa Max was outside withdrawing cash.

Suddenly, a car stopped behind him.

A tall guy wearing a green cap stepped out.

"Get out of the way, Grandpa! I have a huge withdrawal to make," the guy said, shoving Grandpa Max aside onto the road.

Grandpa Max looked up and saw the guy's skinny partner, who had two front rabbit teeths on his mouth , smiling at him.

---

Inside the shop—

"Do you have something that has no fat and less than 2 percent sugar?" Gwen asked.

"Yeah—napkins," the owner replied with annoyance, thinking she was joking.

"And you, kid?"

Ben was about to laugh and place his order when he heard something outside.

Ding

[New Mission – Stop the Thieves]

[Reward – Unlock a New Alien]

'Huh? A new alien for beating normal thieves? The reward is generous this time,' Ben thought.

He immediately rushed outside.

---

The guy with the cap hooked the ATM machine with a hook and signaled his partner to start the car.

He was just about to drive—

When suddenly, a green glow appeared in front of them.

A large beast emerged.

Wildmutt.

With a powerful slash, he shattered the car window and dragged the thief out, pinning him to the ground.

The other guy froze in fear.

"Wh-Whose dog is this?! Get away from me!"

He tried attacking with the hook and chain—

But Wildmutt didn't care.

He grabbed the chain in his mouth, yanked it away, and pounced on him too, pinning both of them down.

---

Grandpa Max quickly tied them up and called the police.

"Nice work, Ben," he said, praising him.

"Uh-huh… so where are we going next, Grandpa?"

Ben asked after reverting back from Wildmutt.

"Well, we're heading to your Aunt Vera's house this weekend…"

"Oh, Aunt Vera, huh?"

Ben nodded.

Then he thought, 'So it's that slimy alien episode… where they kidnap all the elderly people from the town as food…'

Ben started thinking about which alien to use to defeat them.

Those aliens were weak to water, currently, he has Big Chill, who uses ice ( frozen water ), he didn't need any other water-type aliens at all.

----

On the road, inside the Rustbucket—

Gwen looked out the window and sighed.

"When Aunt Vera said she wanted to move away from it all… she really meant it."

Ben glanced outside at the dry, desert surroundings.

"Seeing all this heat… I really want some dessert."

He pulled out a bowl of chocolate ice cream from his inventory and started eating it with a spoon.

"You should try some too, Gwen," Ben said, offering her a spoonful.

"No thanks. I don't want to get fat," Gwen replied.

"Oh, come on. You're still growing. Stop torturing yourself with those diet things .And we burn tons of energy every day fighting bad guys," Ben said. "There's no way you'll get fat from this."

Gwen hesitated for a moment.

"…Fine. Just a little."

She leaned forward and took a bite.

"Hm… okay, yeah. That's actually really good and delicious," she admitted.

"I told you!" Ben grinned. "Here, have another."

Ben fed her again .

This time there was a little cream left on her cheeks ...

"Hey don't move ." Ben said .

"Huh, what's wrong ?" Gwen asked confused.

Ben just moved closer , cleaned the cream from her cheeks with his finger and licked it clean .

"Ha ? Hah? hahh ? Hey what are you doing ?" Gwen's face flushed red .

"What's wrong ?" Ben asked with a grin still licking his finger .

"Nothing idiot." Gwen turned her head away not wanting to talk to him further, come to think of it , he was eating with that spoon before and she ate with it too .. so is it an indirect k ....?

"Uh ...Don't think! Don't think! " Gwen shook her head furiously.

Seeing them , Grandpa Max smiled warmly in his driver seat .

----

The scene shifts to Aunt Vera, who was talking with her neighbor.

"It's been years since I last saw Max and the kids… I don't think I'll even recognize them.

Stop by and say hello if you have time."

"I would like that," her neighbor replied before heading back inside his house.

Inside the house—

He sat on the couch, watching TV and eating snacks.

Suddenly, a yellow slime-like creature attacked him.

He didn't even have time to call for help.

---

Scene shifts again to Ben, Gwen, and Max-

Gwen was looking out the window when she suddenly saw an old man doing a backflip off a roof.

"Wow! Did you see that?" she asked Ben hurriedly.

"Well, yeah… maybe they're old ninjas," Ben laughed.

"Hey, I'm serious!"

"Alright, alright. The moment we entered the town, I got a new mission. I figured it out from that," Ben said.

[New Mission – Save the Town People from the Aliens]

[About – These aliens are capturing the people of this town as food. When the time is right, they will leave in their spaceship. Destroy them before they escape and save the people.]

[Reward – New Alien Unlock, Random Enhancement to an alien]

"So that's what's going on…"

"I didn't notice the mission," Gwen said.

"Well, you were busy sightseeing after eating the dessert, so of course you missed it," Ben replied.

"Hmph, don't talk about it," Gwen snorted.

She then checked her rewards—improved mana control and mana sight. Most of her rewards were related to magic and her Anodite powers.

"Wait… doesn't that mean Aunt Vera is in danger?" Gwen asked worriedly.

Ben replied, "Don't worry, we'll figure things out. Let's meet Aunt Vera first and see if there's anything unusual about her."

"Just now, I saw an old guy suddenly jump away from garden water… that probably means they're weak to water or afraid of it."

"So here's the plan—deliberately spill a cup of water or tea in front of her. Then we'll see her reaction."

"If there's no problem, stay with Grandpa and Aunt Vera for now. I'll turn into Big Chill and investigate later."

"But if there is something wrong, act like nothing happened and wait until they try to attack us."

"…Okay," Gwen nodded.

---

Ben then claimed the random alien unlock reward he had received from defeating the thieves.

Ding [Congratulations, A new alien DNA has been unlocked - Overflow]

Huh ? Overflow isn't that from the reboot version?

So i can get aliens from the reboot version too ?

[Yes, Ben]

Alright that's cool , but although it's a water alien, i don't think I will use him , since I have big chill . Looks like you have to wait for another debut chance buddy .

-----

They reached their destination and got out of the Rustbucket.

Gwen noticed the neighbor twisting his neck in a strange way, hissing at her before quickly closing the curtains.

Gwen moved closer to Ben.

"Well… they seem really welcoming, don't they?" Ben said with a laugh.

"Well, take care of your cheeks—you know Vera is a pincher, and I mean it," Max said.

"Max!"

"Vera!"

They hugged each other warmly.

"I can't believe you're finally here! And look at you two—you've grown so much…"

She hugged Gwen first and pinched her cheeks.

"Ow!" Gwen said, rubbing her face.

Then she hugged Ben and pinched his cheeks too. Ben didn't react much.

"Come on in , I can't wait to chew the fat with all of you ."

After that, they all went inside the house.

The neighbour was looking at them from behind a gap in the curtains.

Inside the house —

They were seating on the table for breakfast, A slimey jelly type dish was on the plate ....

"Now now , Vera that looks delicious but what are those brown chunks in it ?"

Grandpa Max asked.

"Pork chops and the white parts of cauliflower." Aunt Vera replied.

Ben and Gwen looked at eachother , questioning ; why them ; why always them ?; Why can't they have anything normal for breakfast, lunch or dinner ?

Now when they are here, they still have to eat 'this delicious masterpiece ' of aunt Vera.

"So Ben what are you doing all this summer ? " Aunt Vera asked.

"Well, you know , aunt Vera dealing with alien lifeforms." Ben took a spoon and ate it ... And replied to Aunt Vera . It was not that bad .... He singnaled Gwen it was okay , hesitating she also ate and nodded .

"Ohoho oh Ben you ...." Vera laughed .

After finishing what ever was left on the plate quickly, he said he was stuffed .

Although it was pretty good , but it's looks was unbearable, he might eat it while closing his eyes but seeing it jiggling he might throw up .

Gwen was talking about some American bird with Aunt vera ....

After that she asked ben if he wanted a chocolate, knowing it was coffee instead of chocolate, he accepted one , he didn't mind the coffee bitter taste ....

After that he went to the bathroom, while whispering to Gwen he was going to investigate....

Inside the bathroom, Ben looked at the Omnitrix, thinking about which alien to choose.

If he had to pick the perfect one, it would definitely be Ghostfreak. However, knowing the threat inside, he decided not to use it for now. When the time was right, he would deal with that problem.

Goop was another option. He could move through roofs, pipes, or drainage systems using his liquid body. But there was a risk—the aliens might notice him, since they were also slime-based.

Then there was Upgrade. He could travel through wires and electrical systems, making him very useful for infiltration.

However, if something went wrong, Big Chill would still be the safest choice due to their weakness to water.

After thinking it through, Ben decided it was better to use Big Chill.

He scrolled through the Omnitrix until Big Chill's hologram appeared.

Ben tapped it.

A green light flashed, and his body transformed into a ghostly, winged figure, faint cold mist forming around him.

He used his intangibility and passed through the walls, coming outside the house.

As Big Chill, he flew around the area.

At one house, he noticed an apple pie sitting on the window.

"Oh… apple pie, huh…"

Inside, a lady was trying to swat a fly. The fly escaped and landed on the roof, thinking it was safe.

But suddenly—

The lady jumped onto the roof like a spider and ate it.

Chewing it.

It looked disgusting.

Big Chill narrowed his eyes.

"I'll deal with these trash quickly… then I'm getting something decent to eat. I've had enough weird food lately…"

Nearby, garden water was flowing through a pipe.

Aunt Vera's neighbor drived past it—

and immediately panicked at the sight of water.

Only after moving away did he calm down.

"Got it…"

"Let's follow this guy to his base."

Big Chill quietly flew after him.

Big Chill followed from above, staying high in the air .

Keeping his distance, he silently tracked the vehicle as it moved through the quiet streets of the town.

Soon, the car turned toward a more isolated area on the outskirts.

"Looks like I found your hideout…" Big Chill muttered, continuing the pursuit.
