Ben, as Water Hazard, continued to put out the forest fire until there were no more flames. He had finished just in time before he changed back to a human. He turned as Rook ran up to him. "I believe I have found the source of the fire." He led Ben to a crater with a pile of metal scrap in the center.
"Whoa, what happened here?" Ben crouched at the edge of the hole to get a closer look.
"It appears that a capsule not suit for entry crashed. It must have caught fire upon entry and the fire spread." Rook jumped into the hole and headed towards the scrap, Ben following behind him. A device in Rook's hand beeped and he frowned. "My scanner says that there is a life form in the wreckage, but it is highly improbable that anything survived such a crash." Ben shrugged and scrolled through his Omnitrix.
"Well, there's no harm in checking." He selected Four-Arms and started digging through the metal. Rook went to the other side and started digging there. He looked up when he heard Ben stop.
"Uh, Rook?"
"Yes, Ben?"
"Your scanner wasn't wrong." He carefully pulled a limp alien girl from the wreckage. Her eyes opened briefly before fluttering back closed. She had cat-like features: a long, slender tail; pointed, fluffy ears on the top of her head; and her bare feet had pads on the bottom with fur that trailed up to her knees. The rest of her features were fairly human: pale skin dotted with freckles, long ginger hair that surpassed her waist and slender arms and fingers.
Only when Ben tried to carry her away from the wreckage did he notice the chains. Cuffs on her wrists and neck each had a chain attached to them and one was caught on a metal shard. Ben used the two arms that weren't holding the girl to try and break the chain but found he couldn't. Rook unhooked it and studied the girl.
"Hmmm, I do not recognize this species. We should bring her back to Plumber headquarters for medical assistance. We do not know how many injuries she obtained in that crash." Ben nodded as his Omnitrix timed out. He was prepared for the girl to feel heavier without his extra strength but found he could carry her easily. He took her to the Plumber truck and put her in the middle seat before they headed back to the base.
