Chapter 1: The Meeting

Ben let out a battle cry. The DNAliens had been quiet for a while now, and Ben couldn't see why. They were attacking an innocent girl who had dark brown hair and eyes. (A/N: This is not Melodie. For those who aren't familiar with Melodie, she is from my other FanFic.:The New Girl. Check it out!) Her jeans were ripped and one of her sleeves was torn, probably from fighting, Ben had guessed. But it didn't matter what the DNAliens were doing, just that he, Ben 10, had to stop them. Oh, and with the rest of his team, Gwen and Kevin.

Ben clicked the Omnitrix to one of his favorite aliens, Humongousaur. He felt the alien take over him completely and the next thing he knew, Ben was taller than everyone (and thing) around him. He let out a loud roar and started fighting. He looked over at Gwen and Kevin who were tag-teaming. Next, he took a quick glance at the girl and realized she was still in trouble. Ben pushed the aliens out of his way and stomped towards her. From a distance, she looked like she was 12 years old but upon closer inspection, he realized she was 15 or 16. "Don't worry, we're here to save you," Ben told the girl. She wordlessly nodded, the look of fright bright in her eyes. Suddenly, a weird whistle was heard and the DNAliens dispersed. They jumped into their trucks and sped away.

"Well, that was odd," commented Gwen. Kevin nodded his head in agreement and walked over to Ben and the strange girl. Ben helped the girl to her feet.

"Thanks for helping me," she said. "Not many people would do that for me."

"Your welcome. By the way, my name is Ben and this is my cousin Gwen and that is Kevin," he introduced the other two people who where now standing besides him. "That was some mess you got into. What did they want?"

The girl shrugged. "I was walking and they came out of nowhere. Normally, I can defend myself pretty well, but, I don't know what happened. They pointed some strange gun at me and I just collapsed."

"What's your name?" Gwen interjected.

"Nature."

"That's an odd name," Kevin said. He got an elbow to the stomach as a response. "What?"

Nature couldn't help but laugh. "It's okay, Gwen. Back home, it's not common either."

"Where, is home, exactly?" asked Ben.

"Heart," she answered. The team gave her a weird look. "I-I mean, Earth. Here." Nature blushed. "Sorry, I'm having a bad time remembering things. I'm sure it won't be so bad later on. It sometimes takes a while to remember stuff, especially after a shock like that. Not being able to defend yourself is kinda scary."

Gwen nodded sympathetically. "Do you want us to give you a ride home? Your parents must be worried."

"Like yours are," she retorted sharply. Gwen looked at her in shock. "Sorry, your parents must know. After all, you're on your home planet."

"What do you mean?" Kevin asked. "I though you said you were from Earth."

"I am, kind of," she admitted. "You see, I'm from the planet Heart. It's like Earth, except that everyone has powers and your names are based off of your powers. If your power is flying, for example, your name might be Elsu or Eilir. (A/N: Those are real names! I Googled it ;) ) So my name is Nature, which means elements."

"So what can you do," questioned Gwen. "I'm not sure what your power is."

"Simple," said Nature, "I can control the elements: water, fire, earth, and air. There is metal, but I'll leave that for Kevin to use."

"If you're not from here, what are you doing here?" Ben said. He still wasn't quite sure why she was here or how she got here.

" I have to find Ben Tennyson, Gwen Tennyson, and Kevin Levin," she whispered, looking at the ground. Looking up, she continued, "And it looks like I already found them."
