Aliens and Fairies are real?!

The night soon turns to day as Bloom is the first of the two to wake up as she sits up not knowing where she is momentarily as that was the best sleep of her life before she blinks and looks down at her boyfriend who also has Ship and Kiko beside him who are also currently sleeping as she then smiles before laying back down and cuddling up to Ben's chest

Things couldn't be better where Bloom's only thoughts before the apartment began to shake as the sound of things being thrown around is heard waking everybody up as Ben lets out a quiet groan before sitting up alongside Bloom as Ship and Kiko look around frantically for whatever is making that noise

"What's that noise?" Ben asks while rubbing his eyes tiredly still not completely awake before he then looks over at Bloom

"I don't know but it's coming from yours and Stella's room" Bloom says as Ben grabs his shirts putting it on before getting off the bed and walking to the door

"Oh Ben you slept over?" Flora asks who walks over currently wearing her pajamas as the three of them then walk out of the room encountering Musa and Tecna the moment they take a step out

"Do you three hear that?" Musa asks as Ben just gives her an amused look before walking over to his bedroom door

"Noooo…..because obviously we're deaf" he says while rolling his eyes playfully and then knocking on the door

"Hey Stella, are you alright in there?" He asks loudly while knocking as the sound stops and then footsteps are heard from the inside as Stella pokes her head out though she looks a bit nervous

"Oh hey Ben.....everyone yeah I'm alright just looking for something" Stella says sounding nervous while looking around at the 5 of them standing outside her door and though Ben can't understand why but something doesn't stand right with him as he discreetly turns to the side so none of the girls can see what he's doing before he activates his omnitrix and scrolls until he finds Wildmutt

"So what time did you get back?" Musa asks suddenly as then Stella freezes before as she can't really think of a good excuse before she decides to make something up

"Oh I uhh…..stayed over at Prince Sky's place where we.....you know...anyways what I mean to say is that I got back very late" Stella says but before anyone can question her even in the slightest, they see a bright flash of green light as they all turn to see Wildmutt on the ground after having 'tripped' on Ship

"Ben?" Bloom says confused as she didn't even hear him activate the omnitrix nor did she also hear Ship anywhere near them so this was kinda confusing for most of them

Wildmutt then sniffs the air only for him to have to hold back his anger as Stella...wasn't Stella she didn't have her scent in fact she smelled like one of the witches so only one thought goes through his thoughts.....where is Stella?

"They'll come for me you'll see!" meanwhile somewhere in the outskirts of Magix City Stella's tied up in a dark room with her dress being somewhat torn after being damaged by the Trix's ambushing her as she then sees a door open with Icy walking in before throwing loaf of bread at her after Eon insisted that they at least keep their prisoner fed

"Oh you really think so? Oh how cute we'll have your little scepter by nightfall just you see and once we do that, I'll have Eon kill you since after all we can't have loose ends can we?" Icy says with a sinister smirk on her face all the while Eon's just leaning against a pillar in the background as he just scoffs before walking away

Stella says nothing as she just picks up the bread though it's then immediately stained by her own blood as she was bleeding from a few injuries she received from the ambush before the door is slammed closed by Icy leaving her in total darkness

"Ben…..Bloom...I wonder…..I had just been honest about my feelings...this would've never happened" Stella thinks as she takes a bite of the bread normally, she'd be disgusted and refuse with every ounce of her will to eat this but with the possibility that she could die tonight being on the table she doesn't want to die with an empty stomach

Stella leans back against the cold concrete wall sighing before she turns to feel the shackles and tugging at them "Magic Winx" She says sounding defeated as nothing happens since the shackles are enchanted to ensure a fairy can't just transform and escape and with now all escape being basically impossible, she just closes her eyes accepting her face wishing she could've told Ben how she felt

"Ben hurry up, we're going to be late for breakfast!" Musa says loudly as she and the rest of the Winx are standing by the door waiting for him

"C-Coming give me a minute!" Ben replies just as loud as he finally finds the Alien he needs as he slams down on the omnitrix as the bathroom is briefly fills with green light and once it dissipates it reveals this small white humanoid creature

"Echo Echo is perfect for this" He whispers to himself as he duplicates creating a clone before he and clone revert back to human as there is now two Bens in the room as the original turns to the clone

"Listen I need to leave for Magix City so you'll take my place in class so turn into your fairy form and go with Bloom and the others" Ben whispers as the clone then salutes before activating his omnitrix and turning into his fairy form

"Aye Aye boss!" The clone says with a big smile on her face before turning and walking out of the bathroom joining the Winx as he hears the front door open and close once they're all out

"Good they're gone….time to find the real Stella" He says before he activates the omnitrix and slams down on it transforming back into wildmutt as he then slowly makes his way to the front door opening and closing it once he's outside as he looks around before making a break for it as he begins running as fast as his legs will let him as he runs through the hallways accidentally knocking over a few fairies here and there though luckily no teachers or staff as he rushes down some stairs as he makes it outside and runs as fast as he can towards the front gate which was closed since it was so early in the morning

'Stella's scent seems to go to Magix City…..but the bus doesn't run this early so...time to use that one alien I unlocked on I think the planet was called.....Cybertron?' he thinks as he doesn't remember a lot about the alien planet only that it was in a state of civil war so he only stuck around for a small bit before scanning this red and blue giant cybertronian whose name he can only barely remember...Optimus…..Prime? He thinks the robot called itself though since it's been a few months at that point and the only bits and pieces of any conversation he had with the robot

But now with Stella's life potentially being on the line he doesn't have much time to think as he with one massive leap jumps over the front gate while slamming on the omnitrix symbol on his collar as almost immediately the transformation begins as pieces of what once was Vulpimancer flesh began to change become more mechanical as what once was paws became mechanical arms and legs which begin to fold in on themselves as tires also appear and begin to take their place as instead of wildmutt this mostly black car resembling Ben's own car the Mark 10 which he still had as it had been a present from someone from his old universe called Kevin since he was one of the only friends he had back in his old universe and who he honestly misses and he even offered to bring him along with his children and the ultimates back then but Kevin outright refused though he never specified the reason why and he often wonders how he's doing

Ben revs up his engine as he takes off down the road to the city but he quickly realizes something 'I won't be able to blend in unless I change my vehicle form to resemble one of the ones found here' He thinks since every other car doesn't have tires and are much more rounder in shape but he can't really do anything without having one to scan which quickly changes as he sees this sports magic car heading his way "Bingo!" he says speeding up as he scans it while driving past as he then slowly begins to levitate as the vehicle form ejects the tires as they're no longer of use as his car form becomes much sleeker and rounder as then his magic engine lets out a dragon like roar as he revs it up taking off leaving only a trail of kicked up dust in his wake

"Alright enough playing time to find Stella" he says out loud as he makes it to Magix and begins driving around for a while not making much progress in his search so he decides to pull into an alleyway and reverted back into Wildmutt so he could track down Stella's scent...or at least that was the intention only for him to realize he had been reverted into his fairy form instead which honestly was starting to get on her nerves

"What is wrong with you? How am I supposed to find Stella when you won't even give me the right alien?" She says pissed off as in her mind she was partially responsible for Stella disappearing if she had just shaken off Bloom and chased after Stella this wouldn't have happened 'It's all my fault' was the only thought that went through Ben's head once she calmed down before a sudden look of determination covered his face

"No! Fuck that I can't feel bad for myself when Stella's life is in danger" she says as she then begins walking out of the alleyway as she drags her fingers across her throat as she gives herself Wildmutt's gill-like nostrils before she sniffs the air getting a lock on Stella's scent as her eyes move towards the direction her scent leads

"Don't worry Stella...I'm coming to save you" She says running as fast as her legs will carry her before she jumps up while yelling "Magic Winx!" She yells quickly turning into her winx form and taking off flying in the direction of the scent hoping he isn't too late

"Say Ben you've been acting strange all day" Musa says as she's walking next to 'Ben' as are the rest of the winx as the classes for the day had been canceled after some random fairy blew up the potions lab...again though thankfully this time it wasn't Stella this time

"I-I mean I cant have been acting stranger than Stella she skipped class" 'Ben' says trying her best to not act strange, but Tecna doesn't buy it one bit

"Ben.....tell the truth" Tecna says as she glares a bit at Ben who just gets a bit more nervous as they all get to the dorm only to see Bloom and Flora's room with the door open as they can hear a commotion inside

"What in the world?!" Bloom says as she rushes over quickly followed by everyone else as they see Stella throwing things aside as she spots them as soon as they leave the room

"Where is my ring?!" Stella asks only to get immediately interrupted by Ben who reverts back to his original form and blasts Stella with a Sonic Blast from his mouth

"Ben?!" The winx says in sheer shock as to why Ben would attack Stella as Echo Echo just points to the imposter

"She isn't the real Stella she is one of the witches that tried to steal Stella's ring at the party a few days ago" Echo Echo says as Stella's eye widen before she curses under her breath before she realizes something

"Wait Eon told me about one of his aliens that could make clones....so that would mean!" Darcy says as her eyes widen before she jumps out the window to warn the others as Echo Echo runs over as he goes to stick his tongue out before he remembers he has none

"So that wasn't Stella…..and you're not the real Ben...that would explain why you have been acting so weird today" Tecna says before Bloom speaks up looking worried

"Wait then where are Ben and Stella?" Bloom asks nervous as Echo Echo taps the omnitrix symbol on his chest as it then shows a tiny holographic map in front of him displaying Ben's current location which is represented by a green omnitrix symbol moving to its intended target

"C'mon girls no time to waste" Musa says grabbing Echo Echo who doesn't even get a moment to protest as he just gets carried by the winx out the door as they rush to Ben's location just hoping they'll be able to get there before Ben does

Ben eventually arrives at the location where Stella was being held as she then turns intangible and invisible not wanting to possibly be discovered as she then phases into the ground and as he does he hears the conversation between Icy and Eon upstairs

"And if you don't get the ring?" Eon asks as he looks down at his shorter co conspirator who just gives him this weird look almost annoyed that he ask as she had made herself clear earlier when she was talking to Stella earlier

"Simple we'll kill her, and you'll burn the body to the point they can't even identify her" Icy says not caring how cruel it is as all she cares about is getting her hand on Stella's scepter no matter the cost

'They're thinking of killing Stella?!' she thinks enraged so she flies faster underground as she eventually finds Stella just curled up in a ball softly crying imagining a life she would potentially never have as she then says something that shocks her to her very core

"If today is really my last day Ben...I like….no…I love you...I just wish I could've told you that but it looks like I'll never get the chance to" She says in utter defeat and sadness as she then opens her eyes once she feels a presence in the room and it's Ben who has a look of utter shock on her face

"Stella....I…." She tries to say but the words just won't come out as she doesn't dare to make eye contact as her wings stop flapping and instead just stay still with the occasional twitch from how nervous and unsure she is

"Ben?" Stella says unsure if it's just her eyes playing a trick on her but in that moment she feels both fear and relief as she goes to launch for Ben in order to hug him only for her chains to stop her as she's forced back against the wall as she lets out a quick pain filled yell

"Stella!" She whispers yells as she grabs her shoulders to stop her from potentially hurting herself but that's when she noticed just how injured she was as her eyes landed on her wounds and the blood on her hands and dress

"I'm going to tear them apart" she says barely being able to contain her anger as she grabbed onto Stella's shackles before melting them letting her go free

"Stay here, I'll come back once I'm done beating those bastards into a bloody pulp" He says angrily before he gets and takes deep breath as her eyes glow ever so lightly as he prepares to use that new power, he unlocked last night

"Ben, wait!" Stella says though her voice falls on deaf ears as Ben is to angry to even notice her calling out for her

"Magic Winx, Charmix!" Ben yells as she kicks down the door sending it flying with it crashing into Eon sending him flying back before he crashes into a wall burying him under rubble and by the time Ben's foot returns to the ground the DNA shaped brooch reappears on the left side of her chest and her black and green bag reappears on her hip

"What?! Tennyson?!" Icy yells as she tries to freeze Ben by firing an Ice beam at Ben only for her to counter with a fire beam of her own though curiously like the last time they fought her fire wasn't coming from the pyronite nor methanosian DNA

The two's beams struggle trying to get dominance over the other for a few seconds before Icy comes from the side only to be kicked in the side by Stella who doesn't wait a second before transforming now that she's no longer bound by the magic dampening shackles "Magic winx!" she yells quickly transforming afterwards as Stormy stumbles back in pain from the kick

"Dammit, Eon do something!" Icy yells as she was being pushed back by Ben's fire beam before they then see the wall next to them shatter as Darcy lands near the beam clash bleeding as from the now open hole in the wall they can see the rest of the Winx in their magic winx forms standing there alongside Echo Echo who had gone Ultimate which shocks the two witches while Darcy Is on the verge of unconsciousness after being on the receiving end of a much weaker version of a Sonic Doom

"Well looks like it's a 7 vs 4" Ben says with a big smirk only for it to be wiped away as from the rubble that had buried Eon out comes Eon bleeding from the left side of his head but still in fighting order as he slams his hand down on the Ultimatrix as the room fills with purple light

"Ultimate Humungousaur!" Eon yells having turned into the evolved Vauxosaurian which causes Ben's eyes to widen as he then increases the output of his beam overpowering Icy sending her flying

"Girls stand back I've got him!" She flies off tackling humungousaur through the wall leaving the winx and Ultimate Echo Echo to deal with the witches as they all

"Cmon girls you heard Ben!" Tecna says before she launches a spell at Stormy which she blocks though she begins being overpowered by the Winx begin firing all their spells combined at her and Echo Echo fires a couple of sonic discs at Icy

Stella who was now more free to think as she saw the Winx and echo echo start fighting the witches her eyes land on Bloom as fear quickly overtakes her…..how was she going to explain to her that she loved Ben...too many different scenarios went through Stella's mind to see Bloom being launched in her direction as Bloom ends up crashing into her before Bloom lets out a gasp before she pulls Stella who was on the ground after being knocked down barely avoiding some missiles that were originally meant for Ben as the two are now kneeling behind some cover

"Stella, are you ok?" Bloom asks while at the same time peeking around the corner to see Darcy's unconscious body get picked up by Ultimate Echo Echo before being thrown at Icy who gets sent flying back by her sister's unconscious body being thrown at her while at the same time Stormy is getting overwhelmed by the combined forces of Flora, Tecna, and Musa

"Bloom I have a confession" Stella says while looking down and nervously grabbing her own skirt as she tries to calm herself down as this is she's extremely scared of what Bloom'll think but she still has to go through with it

"Right now?! In the middle of a fight?" Bloom asks taking her gaze away from the fight and towards Stella but her eyes widen as soon as she hears the words that come out of her mouth

"I love Ben ok…..I can't keep it hidden anymore it's kept me up for a few nights now seeing you and Ben being together...it hurt more than I want to admit" Stella says as tears begin to brim in her eyes despite the fact that she knows her love for Ben came a bit out of nowhere since it was a love at first sight kind of deal as she then looks out the broken hole in the wall made by Ben and sees Ben still in his Charmix form fighting Ultimate Humungousaur outside before she then looks back at Bloom

"Stella I....." Bloom says unable to come up with anything to say to Stella as she's to shocked for any more words to be able to come out of her mouth

"Think whatever you want my feelings for him are as true as the fact that the sun will rise tomorrow" Stella says as she closes her eyes letting her tears flow down her cheeks and just as her tears fall down and make contact with the ground something begins happening to Stella as she begins to glow as Bloom quickly realizes what's happening

Immediately afterwards Stella gains a gold and silver pin and an orange hip bag with a little light blue crescent moon attached to it with Stella not even bothering opening her eyes too scared of what'll happen next before she then feels a pair of eyes wrap around her as she opens her eyes in shock before she looks down to see Bloom hugging her

"Bloom?!" Stella says but eventually her feelings get the best of her and she just hugs Bloom back and they stay that way for a few seconds before Bloom pulls back and makes Stella look at her in the eyes

"Stella…..I understand...I felt the same way with Ben…..listen I can't promise anything and I'd have to talk to Ben but..." Bloom says as Stella's eyes widen as she listens to Bloom's words carefully as Bloom than takes a deep sigh to calm her nerves while also closing her eyes as she can't believe what she's about to say

"I…..I'd be willing to share Ben with you...if he agrees to it since…..well you Ben isn't an object" Bloom says trying to make a quick joke though she then lets out a sigh of relief as the words actually came out easier than she told it would as she then looks at Stella who has eyes filled with nothing but hope

"Really?" Stella says sounding hopeful before she then pulls Bloom into another hug before Bloom gets up stretching down a hand for her to grab which she does as the two then look around and see....the rest had defeated the Trix and had actually gone outside to help Ben against humungousaur

"Oh...well no time to waste c'mon" Bloom says as she grabs Stella's hand and the two run outside to see Ultimate humungousaur looking pretty beat up unable to deal with that large amount of moving opponents

"Oh Stella also here's your ring" Bloom says taking out Stella's ring before giving it to her as she turns it into her scepter before she then points it at the vaxasaurian and fires it hitting it scare in the Ultimatrix symbol as it begins repeatedly popping causing Eon to panic as he decides to get revenge by launching Flora and Tecna aside as he rushes to the girls while reeling back his fist but then one Ultimate Echo Echo's sonic discs appears and blasts him which dissorients him to stumble and fall but as he does his tail knocks Stella's scepter out of her hand and it lands right at Icy's feet who had just gotten up along with the rest of the Trix and was standing panting from the absolute beating the winx and ultimate echo echo gave her as she then grabs it

"We got the scepter, let's go!" Icy says before she teleports herself and the Trix out of there leaving Eon behind who curses them out loud for leaving him before hitting the Ultimatrix symbol on his chest transforming into Jetray before flying away

"Dammit they got Stella's ring" Musa says as she watches Jetray fly away before Ben reverts back to his human form and rushes over to Stella

"Forget about the ring" Ben says as he briefly glances at Musa before gets to where Stella is and hugs her which shocks her for a moment before she returns the hug the the two staying like that for a good few seconds before the separate

"I'm glad you're ok looks like you were less hurt than I thought" Ben says giving Stella a quick smile before looking at Bloom who's avoiding his gaze

"Also Bloom what were you two talking about in there" Ben says since he quickly noticed the two not immediately joining their 4v1 against Ultimate Humungousaur

"Ben...…we...need to talk in private" Bloom says as she looks at Ben and what she sees hits her heart like a truck

Ben's just standing there near shaking with fear as every ounce of color has completely disappeared from his face with his eyes telling her that he fears the next words coming out of her mouth

"Ben, wait no! It's about Stella" Bloom says running over to him and grabbing his hands as ben then lets out a loud sigh of relief before he looks over at the others

"You girls go back to Alfea we'll meet you guys back there" Ben says with the others looking unsure but in the end they all walk away but not before Tecna puts a little listening device on the ground to listen in on their conversation

"You sure we should be listening in on their conversations?" Flora asks concerned since this is an invasion of privacy and she really isn't to comfortable with it

"Oh relax Flora they won't know plus aren't you curious as to what they're talking about?" Musa asks before they are both shushed by Tecna as they can hear talking starting on the other end

"Ben you see the thing is….." Bloom starts only to be interrupted by Ben who's looking away

"Yeah I know Stella is in love with me" Ben says as he's having a hard time trying to make eye contact as he's really unsure of where this conversation could be heading

"Oh good then...." Bloom says before pausing and giving Stella a quick side glance before returning to looking at Ben "how do you feel about dating two girls at once?" Bloom asks as Ben just stays silent for a few moments too stunned to speak

"W-what?" He asks not quite believing his ears but then Stella speaks up as she walks over while dropping out of her Charmix

"We talked and if you were willing....maybe you'd like to try out dating the two of us at the same time" Stella says looking straight into Ben's eyes refusing to look away

Ben thinks about it for a bit as he breaks eye contact as he looks down in thought before he closes his eyes and takes a deep sigh before opening them again and taking a step back so the two are in his field of vision

"Well if Bloom is ok with it then I'd be willing to give it a shot" Ben says giving them a confident smile as Stella's eyes widen before she then smiles before looking at Bloom almost for permission

"I mean I'd be hypocrite since I did the same so…..go ahead" Bloom says before giving Stella a thumbs up as Stella smiles before she then grabs Ben's shirt and pulls him down a bit as their so their lips touch

"Hmph?!" Ben lets out a confused sound for a second before Stella pulls back smiling looking very happy for herself

"And so I guess this makes us a couple" Stella says smiling she just watches Ben stumbles back a bit trying to process what just happened

'How did my life take this turn? I thought everything was good with Bloom but now Stella is also my girlfriend...…is this karma trying to apologize for my bad life....no that sounds like a bad justification for me suddenly gaining another girlfriend' Ben thinks as he just left their paralyzed with Bloom tries to snap him out of it but to no avail

'I mean it's not like I don't like Stella because I do and I want to protect her but to also date her?! That was never my intention but if she likes me then I guess there's nothing I can do...right?' He thinks only to be snapped out of it by Stella ever so slightly smacking him upside the head

"Ben? Are you alright?" Stella asks sounding concerned as Ben's rubbing the back of his head where she hit him

"Yeah I'm fine just spaced out for a moment" Ben says still sounding unsure of his decision to date both Bloom and Stella at the same time but he doesn't get to think much as he notices this red fountain aircraft approaching so he quickly activates the omnitrix while putting one arm around Stella while pushing her in the direction of Bloom

"Shit no time to argue girls hand on" he says before he slams on the omnitrix's core by headbutting it as he turns into Fasttrack before putting his other arm around Bloom

"Ben, wait!" The two say but their protests fall on deaf ears as he then takes off running while carrying the two of them away from the area

"Wait guys wait for me!" Echo Echo who been forgotten and had reverted back to normal yells as he makes it all of two steps before suddenly two separate laser beams tear through his torso as he then weakly turns to look back seeing Jetray there who then flies away leaving as Echo Echo stops before collapsing to the ground as his body disappears in a quick puff of smoke

Meanwhile Flora, Tecna, and Musa are all standing just looking at Tenca's hand which the broadcast had been coming from as the three don't know what to think about what they just heard

"Well...…if they're happy, who are we to judge?" Flora says trying to be positive even if she does think it's just a tiny bit weird

"Well he has a harem now....wait can it be called a harem if it's just two girls" Musa says and though she can't lie that she does find Ben very attractive she can't really see herself dating Ben unless something drastic where to happen

"Let's just keep this between the three of us" Tecna says suddenly closing her hand before she begins to walk away with the other two following her

"So you're not gonna tell us your opinion?" Musa asks as Tecna just responds with a shrug before speaking up

"It's not my place to say what I think plus I already figured something like that would happen" Tecna says as the three just continue to talk on their way back to Alfea

"What in the actual fuck happened here?" Riven says as he and the rest of their team is just standing in front of the abandoned house Stella was being held in as pieces of it where on fire, multiple walls were missing, and there were some spots with blood here and there that were from both the Winx and Trix as he takes it all in and just sighs before looking at the rest of his team

"We really should've let other squad take over, I did not sign up to be a crime scene investigator" Sky says sighing as Timmy just walks over and starts doing his investigative work ignoring the others debating where they should just cut their losses and leave

Timmy while ignoring the rest takes a small sample and puts it into the device which takes a bit to analyze before it comes back as an unknown DNA sample which leaves him confused before he eventually thinks 'huh unknown DNA?.......I wonder if Ben can help me with this one'
