//------------------------------// // Unlikely Visitors part 1 // Story: Tenth Contact: Friendship is Omniversal // by ImRaidAccount //------------------------------// A blue muscle car driven by a grungy looking man with long black hair wearing blue jeans, a sleeveless black shirt over a long-sleeved grey-striped shirt, and grey shoes and sporting a x-shaped scar on his chin and a padlock around his neck driving with his red-headed girlfriend wearing a pair of blue glasses, a blue skirt, a blue t-shirt with a cat head one front, and blue sneakers as a passenger are driving around in an airstrip with a blue dog like creature in their back seat. The driver asks his girlfriend, “Why do you think Ben wanted us to go on a road trip through the cosmos anyway?” She answers as they pull up to a large orange spaceship located in one of the hangers with, “We’re here so we can ask him ourselves.” Bay doors on the orange spaceship open to reveal a teenager with shaggy brown hair wearing a white and green watch, a white hoodie, brown pants with knee pockets and a periwinkle-furred pointy-eared humanoid cat with black markings around the white middle of his face leaning on a beige truck with the words Max’s Plumbing with a chibi version of an aged man with a red aloha shirt as a mascot. The blue muscle car pulls into the orange spaceship and next to the beige truck. Gwendolyn walks towards the rear door of the car to open the back door to let Zed the blue alien dog out. Zed jumps on Gwendolyn and starts licking her face. A laughing Gwendolyn says “Easy there girl, we’re finally here.” Zed gets off of Gwendolyn and heads to the orange spaceship while she gets up to retrieve her luggage from the trunk of the car. The shaggy haired teen says, “Kev! Gwendolyn! I’m glad you guys could make it!” Gwendolyn grabs her luggage from the trunk and responds, “I am too Ben, but it’s a shame that Grandpa Max wasn’t able to make it.” Ben responds, "Blonko and I know the feeling, Rayona is home on Revonnah and Kai was getting ready on a dig." Gwendolyn openly ponders, " I've been wondering why you wanted us to go on this trip in the first place." Ben responds, "I'll tell you after we lift off, because it makes a great road trip story." Gwendolyn in return says, " Fair enough." A confused Blonko gets up from his truck and asks, "You just used my chosen name, in all the time we have been partners you have never used my chosen name." Ben responds "Before I met your family I thought Rook was your chosen name and afterwards you never said anything." Blonko asks, "What about now?" Ben responds, "I've been thinking and we're more than partners, we're friends and I should start treat you more like the latter than I have been, especially since we're off-duty." After getting his luggage and Zed's food from the trunk Kevin says, "Speaking of duty, Ben told me that you made Magister." Blonko says, "Yes, it happened so fast that I broke a Plumber Academy record." Ben asks, "I don't want to be the his guy but we can talk after our sleeping arrangements are in order. Lucy, can you get bay door please?" A female voice comes from the beige truck and says, "On it Ben." The bay door closes and a dark purple blob jumps out of the truck and shape-shifts into her preferred form of a pony-tailed blonde teenage girl with pinkish purple eyes wearing a red-collared black dress emblazoned with a white star on the chest. A confused Gwendolyn asks, "What are you doing here Lucy?" Lucy answers, "I heard about about your universal road trip and after I asked Ben if I could come along if I could get the time off from Magister Tennyson, and now here I am." Ben adds, "When she first asked I figured the more the merrier and she asked me to keep it a surprise." Ben, Blonko, and Lucy grab some of Kevin and Gwendolyn's bags to show them to their sleeping quarters passing a car made of green crystals. Ben and Blonko carry Zed's food and some of Kevin's bags whereas Lucy carries some Gwendolyn's bags. Lucy starts to talk to Gwendolyn, "How are things at Friedkin U?" Gwendolyn responds, "Aside from the occasional costumed weirdo, pretty good actually." After all the passengers' bags were secured in their respective sleeping quarters and the vehicles that brought them here have been strapped down we find our five friends seated in the cockpit of the ship. A little while after the spaceship left orbit, Ben starts to talk to his friends, "A few days ago Blonko and I were asked by this guy from the future named Chrono Spanner to help stop an evil chronosapien called Maltruant from rewriting the universe with one of this own... Gwendolyn interrupts, "So that's who Ben 10,000 was talking about." Ben continues, "... and it was on this journey we learned a lot about our world, our universe, the Omnitrix, and we saw something that taught us a little bit about ourselves in the process, and what I saw I'm not particularly proud of." Lucy asks,"Don't keep us hanging man, what did you see?" Ben answers, "I'll start from the beginning; George Washington is one of us." Kevin adds, "Let me get this straight, G-Wash was a Plumber?" Ben responds, "They were called Plumbier at the time but yes. After we chased Maltruant into the timestream from 1773 to the beginning of time and it was there that we saw the Contemelia and when Maltruant was defeated they showed us the most amazingest thing that any person could hope to see in the history of forever. I plan to show you guys it when we go to sleep." Gwendolyn asks, "What could you have seen that would make you obliterate grammar like that?" "Allow me to answer your question with a question of my own. Would you like to see the creation of our universe? I heard from a highly credible source that it was the most interesting one yet." Ben says with jovially. An awe-struck Gwendolyn asks Blonko, "Seriously?! Surely, he must be joking." Blonko responds , "Bendude is indeed telling the truth, and do not call me Shirley." Ben asks his partner, "Did you just reference- " Blonko responds, "Indeed. Thank you for showing me it by the way. It was quite entertaining." Kevin confusingly asks, "I feel like there's something I'm missing here. How was seeing creation something you aren't proud of?" Ben somberly responds, "You're right, because the Contemelia are seen by others in a form of whatever has the most emotional sway over them and I saw them as the Mr. Smoothy mascot." Gwendolyn sees her cousin's harsher mood and tries to cheer him up, "Ben, I don't fully know what you are feeling right now but I do know this. You are always there for everyone, don't let what you saw bring you do..." Gwendolyn interrupted by a strong presence she has never felt before. "... Yeah Professor Paradox just showed up and he brought along a friend." Ben's watch glows yellow and it says, "Uncatalogued DNA samples acquired. Warning: newly acquired transformations will not have access to full capabilities due to the inability to reproduce mana." Professor Paradox and Princess Celestia enter the cockpit where Gwendolyn, Kevin, Lucy, Blonko, and Ben are sitting. Ben asks the Time Walker, "What seems to be the problem, Professor, and whose your friend?" Celestia responds, "My name is Princess Celestia and Paradox has informed me that you can help my home of Equestria with an incoming war involving Eon." Ben asks his friends, "What do you say guys, one last adventure?" Lucy responds, "Don't have to ask me twice!" Blonko responds, "A Plumber's job is never done." Kevin deadpans, "Figures something like this was gonna happen." Gwendolyn responds, "I didn't have a problem six years ago and I don't have one now." Paradox responds, "Excellent. Now it's time for a collaboration." A blue vortex open up in the Canterlot Castle throne room and Paradox, Gwendolyn, Blonko, and Lucy exit from it. Twilight asks, "Where is Celestia?" Gwendolyn responds, "She's helping my cousin and my boyfriend find a good place to land our spaceship." Rainbow Dash exclaims, "You have a spaceship?!" Applejack however has better question, "Who are y'all and what're the Plumbers? Blonko answers, "The Plumbers are intergalactic police officers and I am the recently promoted Magister Rook Blonko. Gwendolyn adds, "I'm a deputized Plumber Agent Gwendolyn Tennyson." Lucy also adds, "Plumber Lucy Mann reporting." Blonko takes out his Plumber's Badge begins to talk Ben with it. "Did you and Kevin land yet?" Over the Badge Ben responds, "We landed with walking distance of a giant crystal tree and Celestia brought us inside." A panicked Twilight exclaimss, "That's where I live!" Blonko readies his Badge's GPS function to find where Ben, Kevin, and Celestia are. Gwendolyn sees where her friends are and then says, "Excellent! I'll take us there. Abeo Exorior!" A pink dome forms around the eight ponies and the three Plumbers as they blur up and the dome disappears.
