Aliens and Fairies are real?!

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Return to the ultimate swamp



"They're wearing all my clothes, Bloom!" A voice that distantly sounded like Stella could be heard…..not that it would really help Ben in the situation he found himself in

'You know....when Tecna gave Flora permission to put some seeds in her closet' Ben thought as he looked around the dark closet he currently found himself trapped in, with his gaze landing on Tecna who looked like she had given up in attempting to escape "I didn't think I'd end up like this'

And he couldn't really judge her since he had also given up as he looked down to his vine covered arms before then weakly attempting to force the omnitrix's core to pop up to no avail, plus not to mention the fact he couldn't use his magic since it was way too tight in there for Ben to be able to concentrate even a little bit

'And then there's was the matter of Ship' he thinks as his eyes look up to the upside down 2 year old above him, He or technically now she, had managed to somehow mutate her DNA with the only thing that Ben could come up with as an explanation being that somehow Tecna's techno magic had an affect on his techno-organic biology when Ship merged himself with Tecna's magic winx outfit

Or at least that's the best explanation he could come up with before letting out a small sigh 'Oh Azmuth…..how I wish you were here... I could really use your smarts right about now' Ben thought sadly as the Galvan had actually been deceased for nearly an year now

"If I had just been a little faster maybe he…" He begins to think only for his thought process to be interrupted by the closet door opening followed by a bunch of gasps as the three trapped inside the closet turn to see Flora just frozen in place with the others behind her

Ben just cheekily smiles and wiggles his fingers since he can't exactly wave with how his currently bound by the vines with Flora quickly tapping her finger against the vines making them go limp freeing them

"Finally! We've been there all day" Tecna said while removing any vines still on her while Ben now no longer being essentially strangled so he's able to just phase through them no problem making them drop to the floor, and Ship while having taken on the appearance of a two year old she's still able to temporary revert back to looking like a her old canine like form to get out of the vines before she's forcefully turned back into a 2 year old copy of Tecna as she's unable to take her old form for a long time

"Musa, they were there all day. Why didn't you say anything?" Stella asks turning to the pigtailed girl who had just gotten up from her bed

"Well, because I like seeing my boyfriend tied up in a closet" Musa says sarcastically as everyone just turns to look at her with Ben looking outright concerned as he thinks that maybe just maybe he should crash at either Dyna's or Aisha's couch for the night. "Obviously because I didn't know THEY were in there!" She says a bit frustrated not noticing Ben let out a quiet sigh of relief but still....he's not taking any chances

"Anyways, what type of plant was that?" Ben said taking a step forward while picking up Ship holding her the exact same way he used to hold Amy when she was staying at their apartment

"T-Triple S's" Flora nervously responded which only left Ben more confuse as to what it could possibly be

"Triple S's?" Tecna asked getting a bit impatient taking a step forward towards Flora making her take a step back feeling intimidated by the angry techno fairy

"Sequoia Seprolifera Swifta...…" Flora responded nervously and only then did Ben realize what kind of plant she was talking as his eyes widen as he had read about it in a book he had borrowed from Flora earlier in the week

"You put THAT in there?!" He asks loudly pointing at the closet, his eyes never leaving Flora's as he's just so shocked she would put that in a place that's pitch black. "Flora what in the hell were you thinking?" Ben asks his voice completely serious with disappointment in his eyes making Flora actually a little scared

"I'm sorry! I didn't think they'd grow that fast" Flora says sounding a bit pitiful as Ben and Tecna just sigh unable to be mad at her for too long

"Listen Flora, we aren't mad….well THAT mad, but our apartment isn't exactly the best place to put all your plant stuff" Stella spoke up as Flora looked down before letting out a small sigh

"I know…..that's why I'm taking my things and myself over to black mud swamp" Flora said while picking up some of her stuff from the floor though this causes Ben to look a bit worried for her

"But Flora, Black Mud Swamp is a horrible place….so I'm not letting you go alone" Ben said with a serious expression on his face before looking at the others "right girls?" he asked though Bloom, Musa, and Stella looked a bit odd….too odd almost as if they were planning something

"Actually Ben….Stella, Musa, and I were planning on going into the city" Bloom said and she seemed to be….blushing?

"What for?" Ben asked slightly curious only for Stella to step in front of Bloom before speaking up quickly

"Uh nothing you have to worry about, just a little shopping trip" Stella said with a smile that seemed almost mischievous which made Ben slightly nervous at what's to come....so it seems he'll be paying Aisha a visit tonight

"I guess I might as well go with you two" Tecna said turning to Ben and Flora not really having much of a choice as she didn't feel like staying alone in the apartment

"And me?" A female voice that sounded oddly like Tecna spoke up, and it actually belonged to Ship who tilted her head to the side

"You're staying with auntie Sapphire, I'm sure she won't mind babysitting you for a bit" Ben said as if he was talking to one of his kids since Ship had essentially become his 15th kid, before soon after using his free hand to activate his omnitrix before beginning to walk forward "I'll meet you two at black mud swamp" Ben said slamming down on the omnitrix before leaving behind a black and green trail as he had already left having run out the door using XLR8

The rest of the winx just stare for a few seconds before Flora turns to look over at Ben's girlfriends "So care to share why you're going shopping?" Flora asks as Stella just smirks while Musa and Bloom are a bit more shy about it looking away

"Oh just getting a little something for our boyfriend…..something that'll make him go crazy~" Stella says with the biggest grin on her face

 

"God dammit they're back again" Ben could be heard complaining about the mosquitoes in the background while Tecna and Flora could be talking next to a small tent Flora had set up

"So what we're here for is the Cheerful Gladiolus" Flora said as she grabbed a nearby book before opening it up and showing Tecna an illustration of said flower

"That's a pretty flower, but are you sure it can be found here?" Ben asks walking up with his right arm changed into that of Gutrot as he sprayed himself down with some bug repellant

"Of course, the ecosystem of this swamp is quite diverse" Flora replied while stuffing the book in her bag and putting it on

"Well then let's get to it, the faster we find it the sooner we get out of this mosquito infested hellhole" Ben said as the trio walked deeper into the swamp before Ben then suddenly spoke up "You know….I wonder what the others are up to"

 

"And here we're girls, this is the place I was talking about" Stella announces as the three fairies are currently standing in front of what can only be described as the Magic Dimension's version of Victoria's secret

"Umm girls….I don't know I'm beginning to have second thoughts" Bloom said being slightly intimidated since she had never entered such a place

"Me too…are you sure about this Stella?" Musa asks before starting to be pushed into the store by said blonde princess

"You two need to relax, it's not like we're going to see anyone who knows us" Stella says while pushing the two into the store and who do they see the moment they set foot inside?

Charmcaster who seemed to be looking at a set of purple and white lingerie "Not bad and quite cheap too…..but it's not se-....." She stops mid sentence as she spots the three fairies in her peripheral vision with her fully turning her head to look at them as they all frozen in place while looking at each other

"Well well well...didn't think I'd see you three here" Charmcaster speaks up with a small smirk on her face as she places a hand on her hip

"Charmcaster?!" The trio say shocked with Charmcaster's smirk widening once she sees the shocked expression on their face

"Girls we're friends…..call me Hope" Charmcaster says while crossing her arms as her eyes look over all three of them "It's obvious why you're here" She teased

The three of them just look embarrassed before the witch just shakes her head before walking over "If you're looking for something that'll drive Ben wild, follow me I know his preferences" She says with a small wink before walking away making the three fairies look at each other before following her

"And why do you know that?" Musa asks out of sheer curiosity as then Charmcaster turns with a grin on her face as she then says

"Let's just say...Ben often forgets to delete his search history"

 

"We've been walking for a bit and still, no cheerful gladiolus" Meanwhile back at Black Mud Swamp, Ben could be heard complaining only for Flora to cover his mouth while shushing him

"Shhh….look over there" Flora says before pointing to something by a river which causes all of them to look over, spotting what can only be described as…..tiny mermaids? Not that they were actual mermaids by any chance as they weren't on Andros

"What are those?" Ben whispered the question once Flora removed her hand from his mouth with Tecna bringing out her little computer before typing into it

"They're called Undines though they are often also referred to as Water Nymphs" Tecna whispers before Flora puts a finger up to her lips telling her to be quiet before slowly approaching the Undines

"Umm excuse me" Flora suddenly said causing the Undines to suddenly gasp as they turn to look at her

"Groundwalkers!" One yells before diving into the water with the other one following suit

"Wait, please we don't mean any harm" Flora said as soon as they began to dive into the water as the two then ever so slowly poke their heads out of the water "Please we're your friend and we need your help" Flora continued as the two look at each other with one looking a bit more skeptical but the other one just nods

"All right follow us, we'll take you to our queen" The first one said with the only thing that could go through Ben's head being

'It was….that easy?'

 

"Welcome, we don't have many guests around these parts" Algea the Undine's queen said as the 3 fairies stood in front of her

"Thank you for having us your majesty" Ben said looking to the right at his nature fairy friend, hoping she can do a better job at explaining their current situation

Flora, noticing Ben's gaze decides to speak up "The three of us are looking for a cheerful gladiolus, we just need to touch a petal…can we?" Flora asks sounding quite hopeful that the queen will allow it

"Of course….though I ask a favor from all of you" Algea says though bit hesitant as the two Undines next to her have the same expression

"And what may that be?" Tecna asks standing on Ben's left side as the queen bites her lip hesitating to even make the request but then suddenly a voice speaks up

"There's a monster on Black Island that needs to be dealt with and you three seem right for the job, isn't that right Tennyson?" The voice said, causing everyone to turn as they see this red eyed figure come out of the shadows and it's…..Ultimate Swampfire?!

"Swampfire?" Ben asked surprised as his eyes light up as the red eyed ultimate smirked….or as much as a being made of bark and blue goo can smirk

"Ah my beloved, welcome back" The queen said with genuine happiness in her voice as she flew up to meet the ultimate

"Beloved?" The three alfea fairies asked in unison as Swampfire just smiled

"Yes, we're married" Swampfire responded as Algea gave him a quick kiss on his forehead as Ben just stood there stunned

"You got married and you didn't tell me?!" Ben asked acting offended as the two just laughed before Ben rolled his eyes

"That's it, c'mon you two, let's just deal with the monster so we can get the petal and leave this...traitor behind" Ben said still faking the fact that he's offended activating his magic winx before flying up

As the two just look at each other before transforming and following him but then Swampfire gains this concerned look on his face

"Beloved, you look worried….is something wrong?" Algea asks putting her small hands on his left shoulder with Swampfire nodding before responding

"Yes, I didn't get to warn them due to Ben's impulsiveness that there's more than just a monster on that island….there's also this spores or gas in the air that seems to be having some sort of sleeping gas-like effect on anything too small or too big to be able to properly intake it" He said, his voice taking on a more serious tone

"And if something were to be the right size?" Algea asks which causes Swampfire to sigh before answering

"I believe humans would call it….an aphrodisiac"

 

"So we're here…..not much sign of a monster" Ben said as he landed his feet making contact with the soft soil below

"Maybe it's hiding….you could try using Wildmutt to try and sniff it out" Tecna suggests with Ben immediately after activating the omnitrix and slamming down turning into Wildmutt

Though the immediate moment he takes a sniff, it feels like he got a headache as he stumbles side to side for a bit before he slams down on his collar forcing himself to revert back to human

"Ben?!" Flora asks only to stop as Ben puts a hand up to his head as he can feel his face beginning to get flushed

"Somethings….wrong" Ben said as he mixed cybertronian DNA into his right arm and face before turning his right arm from the elbow down into his ion blaster and bringing up his battle mask as a small hiss is head as the bad air was filtered out before he began looking around not noticing both girls suddenly going silent

"Ben…." Flora suddenly said after going quiet as Ben turns to look at the two girls

"Yeah?" He asks before noticing that Flora was panting while looking at him while Tecna was struggling trying to gather enough willpower to bring down her visor in some poor attempt to filter out whatever was causing her to act like this but obviously failing

"Could you…..stay still for a moment" She said through labored breaths as she slowly took step after step towards him

"Flora…..stay back….what in the hell is wrong with you?!" Ben asked as he began to walk backwards away from the two making sure to keep the barrel of his ion blaster pointed away

"Please….we're alright but we need some…relief" Flora said rubbing her thighs together as Tecna stopped fighting completely but just as she took her first step towards them she was temporarily blinded by a green flash of light before hearing the sound of a car's engine roaring as Ben had fully transformed into Decimus getting ready to drive away

"Oh no you don't" Tecna said before outstretching her hand towards him and before Ben knew it he was forcefully reverted back to human causing him to tumble to the ground as he had begun to drive away

"No way" Ben said not believing Tecna had somehow forced him to de-transform with her magic as he then slowly got up with little bit of blood coming out of his scraped knees but the moment he felt himself begin getting flushed he slammed down the battle mask, Ben then turned to see both girls had the same look on their faces with their eyes showing that they had only one thing on their mind….sexual desire

"Shit....c'mon girls let's be reasonable we all know this isn't you" Ben said slowly backing away from the two horny fairies trying some way to get himself out of this situation, as for once he couldn't rely on any of his aliens or using his fairy powers or transformations as they'd probably fly after him

"Enough stalling Ben….get over here!" Flora said as she put her hand on the ground with Ben just barely jumping out of the way from some roots that had popped out of the ground trying to ensnare him

Immediately after Tecna flies over and tries to tackle him only for Ben to throw himself to the ground just barely avoiding her

"I should've just stayed home!" Ben yelled to himself as he looked at the omnitrix noticing the core had shut off now being a deep black instead of green as he cursed under his breath

Unfortunately at that moment roots ensnared around his arms and legs before they then forced him up with his limbs stretched out into an X formation leaving him vulnerable

"Uh oh…." Is the only thing Ben could say as the two then approached him and looked at each other with lustful smirks

"Care to the honors Flora?" Tecna asked with Flora just gives her a thumbs up as she bends down slightly to begin undoing Ben's belt which was one of the rare times he actually wore one

And just like that it over for Ben, it seems he was about to be forced upon by two of his friends who were under the influence of some sort of aphrodisiac.....but that's when he heard it

"WEEEEEN"

"Huh?" Flora looked up mid undoing Ben's belt as she spotted a blue and red blur in her peripheral but when she fully turned her head it was no longer there

But then she heard a loud thud as Flora turned to see Tecna knocked out and on top of her…..was a red and blue haired pixie

"You better reach for the stars, cause that's what you'll be seeing in a second!" The pixie says with anger clear in her voice before she curls up and hits Flora with a homing attack straight to the face knocking her out before she's even able to counterattack

"Dyna!" Ben yelled as Dyna still curled up smashed right through his restraints causing him to fall to the ground onto his knees

"Are you ok?! Who are these bitches?" Dyna said as she turned to look back at the two unconscious fairies and only then did, she start to feel woozy like her body wanted nothing except sleep

"They're my friends, they're under some type of airborne aphrodisiac" Ben says before he lets out a small gasp as Dyna collapses

"Dyna!" He says before for just a moment his eyes flicker from green to red from the cybertronian DNA in his system and the amount of rage he's feeling, soon after he places Dyna down on the ground "Sleep tight... I'm gonna burn down this entire island" Ben says as he activates the previously shut off core before he slams down it quickly transforming into Heatblast before taking off into the air

"The monster has to be around here" He says to himself as he can see the gas burning in his peripheral before it can even reach him

After a bit of flying around he manages to spot this dry looking tree in the center of a clearing that seems to have a face before speaking up "I swear if the monster's a tree I'm going supernova... stop lying to yourself aren't gonna destroy the entire realm" Heatblast mumbled to himself as he landing in front of the tree his eyes landing on what appeared to be an… Undine?

Heatblast while confused leaned down and picked her up while lowering his temperature so he doesn't accidentally burn her

"Weird they didn't mention that anyone was missing" He says before the tree next to him suddenly let's out a loud roar but Ben is currently so pissed off he forgoes any holding back as he quickly charges up a fireball in his free hand which turns into blue flames due to the extreme heat before he then fires it in beam form directly at the tree disintegrating it in one shot with the beam going on before it takes a curve upwards and eventually dissipating

"Goodbye piece of shit... I hope your species goes extinct" Ben says as his voice suddenly gains this cold tone before he then reverts back to human taking a deep breath noticing that the gas has more or less dissipated as he then feels some slight movement

"Phew….thank you for freeing me and destroying the willow but…..are you ok?" The undine as concerned as Ben just gives her a side eye before letting her go as she begins hovering next to him

"Just dandy…..go back to your queen, my friends and I will be there shortly" Ben answers before the undine is temporarily blinded by a flash of light and once it dissipates, she sees Ben running away in the distance in his hedgehog form towards where he left Tecna, Flora, and Dyna

 

"Ugh….my head what happened?" Flora asks being the first to wake up as she then shakes her head just in time to see Ben arrive as he slides to a stop before reverting back to human

"Hey Flora... are you….ok?" He asks hesitant and with caution in his voice and just in case the aphrodisiac hadn't left her system, he puts a hand on the omnitrix activating the holographic dial

"Yeah I'm alright but…..weird I don't remember anything" Flora responds as Ben lets out a sigh of relief before helping her up though she does notice that for some reason that he can't possibly explain… Ben seems more….attractive than he normally is

"Don't worry about it, the monster knocked you out for a while but I got it" Ben said softly deciding to just lie to them since it's better if they never find out that they nearly raped him

"Ugh….my head….it's like someone hit me in the head with a mallet" Tecna mumbles as she's currently experiencing one of the word headaches of her life

"Piff... not now" Meanwhile Dyna mutters in her sleep with Ben just picking her up and holding her close to his chest in a protective manners

"Well....if everyone's alright then I guess we can go back to the Undines" Ben says knowing that he has some questions to ask Swampfire….and they aren't gonna be pretty

 

"Why the hell didn't you tell me about the fucking aphrodisiac producing monster tree?!" Ben loudly questioned Swampfire as the two are a bit away from everyone else so they can't hear their conversation

"You simply didn't give me the time….but I do admit some of the fault also falls on me, that should've been one of the first things I mentioned" Swampfire says solemnly as Ben just sighs before putting a hand against a tree

"I know I should be even more mad at you but…." Ben says before sighing and shaking his head "Listen I need to get those girls home we'll talk later" Ben says activating his omnitrix as he walked away not noticing Swampfire lift up a hand to try and stop him as he walks away leaving the evolved methanosian standing there alone

"Dammit….. I should've told him that the gas has an effect on their brain chemistry to be more attracted to the first member of the opposite sex they see, even if the gas stops and has completely dissipated" Swampfire said as he made his way and just as he arrived by his wife's side he could see Ben currently transformed into Decimus and in his vehicle form driving away as they had finally gotten the petal Flora needed for her test

"Beloved?" Algea asks noticing her husband's worried expression who just sighs and looks down in a mix of shame and disappointment in himself

"I'm alright my love just... worried" He admits looking down at his tiny wife who just places a reassuring hand on his

"Relax I'm sure your friend will be fine" Algea tries to reassure her husband but his expression doesn't change

"I... I'm not so sure" Is the final words he says just as Decimus disappears in the distance, and for some reason a deep part in him said... that this may be the last time the two ever meet
