Ben 10: The Outsiders

The rock music was loud enough for anyone standing next to her to hear clear as day, but it was her favorite song and she didn't care.

Her name was Emma and she was heading home after a good day at school. She had just passed her science test and was looking forward to strumming her guitar for fun.

The fifteen-year-old finally reached the walkway to the house and smiled when the door opened and her brother Joseph came running out to her.

"Hey, Emma! Guess what!?" he said enthusiastically.

Smiling, she looked down at the eleven-year-old. "What?" she said.

"Mom and Dad are going to take us to Universal!" he shouted happily.

"Really? Awesome!" said Emma. They had been looking forward to going to Universal Studios since their parents had mentioned it a week ago. They now walked into the house and a flash of black caught Emma's attention, but when she turned to look, she only saw the coat rack with her mother's favorite coat on it. Shrugging, she went upstairs to set down her bag, deciding to worry about it later as today was the last day of school with summer beginning tomorrow, she sat down on her bed and flopped back, letting out a deep sigh.

"Sis! Come on! Soccer!" said Joe in a rush.

Smiling again, she got up. "Alright, shorty," she teased. "I'm so gonna beat you!"

"No way!" said Joe, running downstairs and outside with Emma right behind him. They had just reached the back yard when suddenly blasts began hitting the Earth and a huge ship came down in front of them. The hatch door opened to reveal a strange person with tentacles around his face. Emma stood beside her brother protectively.

The person looked at them. "Get them," he hissed, "but make sure they are unharmed. The girl will be my bride and the boy my slave."

"Yes, Lord Vilgax," said one of the strange droids beside him as they moved in.

Emma and Joe began running and made it to the house and ran inside, locking the doors. "Mom! Dad!" said Emma. "There's these weird robots outside!"

Before they could comment, shots began to pierce the house and they all screamed. Emma grabbed Joe's hand and they ran outside to the front yard. They had just turned off the sidewalk and around some hedges when they were both grabbed by someone in a black, armored suit.

Struggling, but no match for their captor as he picked them both up in his arms with no trouble, the children sagged in his arms and he took them up to a spaceship that took off after they were aboard. Emma began to cry and Joe had tears in his eyes.

Their captor took them to what looked like the command center and sat down in a large, comfy chair and turned towards the front where the controls were.

"Gluto," he said in a firm voice. "Take us to Petropia."

Unintelligible sounds were heard and then Emma felt a hand rub her back, causing her to look up at their captor who seemed to be looking at her. His arms came around both of them in a firm, but gentle hug. "Don't be frightened, little ones," he said in a gentle tone.

"Why not?" said Joe, now beginning to look upset. "You kidnapped us! What do you want from us? Because I know you're just trying to make us not afraid so you can hurt us!"

The black-armored head turned to him. "I would never hurt you or your sister, Joseph," he said to him in a soft, somewhat firm tone. "You both are my niece and nephew and I would never hurt a member of my family."

Emma looked up at him. "Who are you?" she said.

The helmet slid back to reveal a face seemingly made of bluish-green crystals with yellow eyes. Both children looked shocked and then looked a little fearful, but he simply hugged them and rubbed their backs.

"My name is Tetrax," he said. "And it is my mission to get you two to Petropia now."

Emma looked up at him. "Why?" she asked.

Tetrax looked at her. "Because Vilgax is after you two and I swore to your parents that I would protect you two."

Joe looked confused. "Mom and Dad never mentioned you," he said.

Tetrax shook his head. "Not the ones you call your parents," he said gently and then pressed a button on the arm of the chair and a drawer opened on the side and he lifted out a picture, showing them.

"These two are your parents. They were the best plumber agents in the galaxy."

Here's chapter 1! Don't worry, there will be more! Thank you all for your patience and please review!
