Best Day Ever. Of All Time.
Snore. Snore. More snoring.

Ben is sleeping on one of the beds. Ever since Ben and Yang became a couple, they began sleeping beside each other. But right now, Ben's alone in the room. Or so he thinks.

Ruby snuck up to him and blows a coach whistle, which was so loud, Ben woke up and fell off the bed.

Ruby giggled. "Wake up, Benjamin! It's morning and it's time for breakfast!" She said to her new best friend, much to his dismay.

Ben rubbed his forehead and said, "Ugh...Can't a guy sleep for five more minutes?"

"Nope." Ruby replied. "Our team is eating breakfast now. So...I need you to help me with some stuff."

She took out what appears to be a folder. Empty.

"I'm going to put in some pages and you'll make a book for me." Little Red Riding Hood said.

Ben sighed. "Fine. Hang on." He said and activated the Omnitrix and slammed it down.

After a flash of light, Ben turned into a tiny devil with an aviator outfit.

"Jury Rigg!" the transformed teen yelled.

Ruby felt skeptical about Ben's current form. She hasn't seen this one, so she doesn't really know what it does. Ever since Ben joined, team RWBBY has been training to work together as a team and come up with crazy combos. Ruby remembered like it was just yesterday.

2 weeks ago...

"Ice Flower!" Ruby yelled. Weiss immediately created a line of glyphs in front of Ruby's rifle. Ruby fired and her bullets were covered with light and as soon as it hits the practice dummy, it exploded and covered said dummy with ice.

Ruby raised her fist in the air. "Alright! We did it!"

There were in some kind of abandoned gym found by Ben and Ruby when they were looking for something fun to do. Right now, Ruby and Weiss are practicing their combo while Blake is reading her "Ninjas of Love" book and Yang is drinking a smoothie, watching the two. Ben was...sleeping and drooling on a table. Bored.

"Is Ben okay?" Blake said, not turning away from her book.

Yang just shrugged. "He's probably just got bored while we were practicing our combos."

Ruby folded back Crescent Rose while Weiss sheathed Myrtenaster, the two girls heading over to the table where Yang, Blake and Ben are.

Ruby sat down and looked at Ben, saying, "Come to think of it, Ben's part of the team but we haven't thought of a combo for him."

Yang nudged Ben to wake him up, which succeeded.

Ben woke up and rubbed his head. "Ugh...I'm awake. I'm awake."

Ruby pointed at Ben. "Benjamin Kirby Tennyson! You're about to enter a few phases of training with the best team in Beacon! Do you accept?"

Ben sweat dropped. "Uhhh...I guess...?"

Ruby beamed and replied, "Excellent! Sister. Why don't you two start?"

"Alright. We're gonna have fun, babe." Yang said as she stood up and headed for the training spot.

Ben shrugged and followed her, Ruby trailing behind him.

Ruby crossed her arms and said, "Alright. Let's see...Turn into something, Ben."

Ben activated the Omnitrix and did not even select an alien form. He slammed down the dial and hoped for the best.

After a brief flash of light, in Ben's place was Heatblast.

"Oooh. You look hotter than usual, babe." Yang chuckled at her own pun. Heatblast also chuckled, admitting it was funny.

Ruby held her temples as she tries to come up with a combo name.

"Hotties? No...Too obvious. Ummm...Flame Brain. No.. Kinda insulting... Ugh...I got it! Fire Fighters!" Ruby yelled.

Heatblast and Yang looked at each other and smirked. Yang shot a few shotgun shells from her gauntlets at a test dummy while Heatblast fired a few fireballs at the same dummy, creating a huge explosion from their combined attacks. The brawler and the Pyronite high fived each other.

"Niiiiice! My turn!" Ruby said. Yang slapped Heatblast's butt as she returns to her seat. Said alien yelped a little. Ruby then took her place beside Ben. "Now switch forms!"

Heatblast did not think twice and slapped the Omnitrix symbol on his chest and he transformed into Fasttrack.

"I knew you'd pick that Ben! Good thing I'm prepared! I call our combo 'Speedy Quick'!" Ruby yelled.

Fasttrack chuckled. It's gonna be a long day.

~O~

Present day...

"Whatcha doin'?" Yang asked Blake, who was reading her notes.

Blake immediately closed her notebook thinking Yang might see something...inappropriate.

"Nothing. Just going over notes from last semester."

A grape suddenly flies over to Yang and said brawler catches the fruit with her mouth. "Lame." Yang said to Blake as she chews and gives Nora a thumbs up, who threw the grape and was on  another table.

Suddenly, Ruby, with Jury Rigg on top of her head, arrives and slams the table with a huge binder. Written on the cover is "Best Day Ever Activities". Below the title is a excellently drawn faces of Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang and Jury Rigg. Said alien was responsible for the drawing and the binder itself while Ruby was the one who wrote the title and pages.

Ruby clears her throat and Jury Rigg got off her head, laughing maniacally and heads for the table of team JNPR.

" Friends! Sisters! Weiss..." Ruby said, causing the heiress to say "Hey!"

"Four scores and seven minutes ago, I had a dream..." Ruby continued.

Meanwhile, Jury Rigg jumped up on the table and looks at Jaune who was working on his broken scroll.

Jaune talked but not looking away from his scroll. "Hi Ben. Got anything to fix this?"

Jury Rigg laughed maniacally as he took the scroll away from the boy's hands and, with ludicrous speed, he begins fixing the scroll. "FIX FIX FIX! DA-HAHAHAHAHA!" the little imp alien said. In only a few seconds, Jury Rigg fixed the scroll and tossed it back to Jaune, surprising the said boy and Pyrrha.

"Interesting. A form that can fix objects in a blink of an eye." Pyrrha commented.

Jaune nodded as he checks his scroll. "Yeah. He must be really smart."

Jury Rigg laughed again. "Smart and stubborn!" He replied.

Suddenly, Nora threw an apple at Yang and said, "Boooooo!"

Jury Rigg saw this action. But because he's Jury Rigg and not Ben, instead of getting angry at Nora...

He picked up a plate of pie. And threw it at Weiss' face.

Team RWBY, especially Weiss, were flabbergasted at what their teammate did. Team JNPR, even Nora, were also shocked. Nora accusingly pointed at Jury Rigg, who was rolling on the floor, laughing.

~O~

Sun and his buddy, Neptune, are walking down outside the cafeteria, both about to enter.

"You're gonna be cool, right?" Sun asked the blue haired teen.

"Dude. I'm always cool." Neptune said, his teeth seem to gleam.

"Good point." Sun replied.

As both enter, Sun was smiling while Neptune got worried. And there's a reason why he is.

Food Fight.

"Ahahahaha!" Nora laughed evily, Jury Rigg on her shoulder, holding a small flag with Nora's emblem on it. The two, along with the rest of team JNPR, are on a fort made up of stacked up tables.

"I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle! ♪" Nora sang. After she finished, Jury Rigg jumped off her and stabbed the small flag on a table below Nora and Jury Rigg laughed maniacally.

Ruby, along with her team, are on the opposite side of the cafeteria.

Ruby pointed at the opposing team and her teammate-slash-enemy in this food fight.

"Justice will be swift! Justice will be painful!" She said as she crushes a milk carton in her hand. "It will be delicious!"

Team RWBY all raise their fist in the air and all say, "Yeah!"

Nora, as she jumps down, yelled, "Off with their heads!"

Jury Rigg slapped the Omnitrix symbol and turned into Ditto and immediately created 2 clones of himself. Nora threw some watermelons. Jaune jumped forward and threw a watermelon too. Ren did the same and so did Pyrrha and the three Dittos.

"Yang! Turkey!" Ruby yelled. Yang then dived forward while managing to put in two cooked turkeys like boxing gloves.

Yang narrowed her eyes at Ditto Prime while smiling.

Ditto Prime did the same and smirked.

The Ice Cream Trickster
After some time, the food fight ended and no one really won cause Glynda yelled at the two teams.

Teams RWBY and JNPR are all in the library. Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang are all playing "Remnant the Game", Ben was in the very small form of Nanomech and is sleeping on top of Ruby's head, Jaune is reading an X-Ray and Vav comic, Pyrrha and Ren are reading books and Nora is sleeping.

Nanomech accidentally woke up when Yang yelled. "You just activated my trap card!"

Nanomech fell off Ruby's head and landed face first at the board of the said game.

Yang and Ruby kept rambling about the game. Nanomech then stood up and hopped off the table, turning back to his human form.

Ben rubbed his head. He looked back at his team and saw they're busy...except for Blake, who seems spaced out.

Ben sighed. "Hey guys...I'm gonna go downtown for a bit. I'll see you guys later." He said and left. Ruby and Yang were too busy while Weiss is still confused. But Blake turned her head to a leaving Ben and sighed.

Ben, on the way out of the library, met Sun and Neptune. "Hey, Ben!" Sun said.

Ben waved at Sun and they fist bump each other. "Hey Sun. Who's your friend?"

Neptune offered a handshake. "Neptune Vasillias. Nice to meet you."

Ben shook his hand. "Ben Tennyson. If you're looking for the guys, they're over there." Ben said, pointing at his back with his thumb.

Sun nodded. "Where are you going?"

Ben then walked past them while saying, "Outside." And then he left.

~O~

Ben walked down the streets of Vale. He thought about why his friends from his universe are still not looking for him and why hasn't Professor Paradox come to explain why he's here. Ah well. If he's gonna be here for a long time or maybe even forever, he might as well enjoy his stay.

Ben then visited the docks. This is where he fought Roman and his crew. He's still out there. And they need to find them.

But his thoughts were interrupted by a few voices near him. He looked around and searched for the voices.

He goes over to a direction and sees a bunch of trucks and White Fang soldiers packing up small crates of Dust. And strangely, the one ordering them is a little girl with a pink outfit, a pink and brown hair and an umbrella.

Ben rubbed his eyes as if what he just saw wasn't real. He was surprised again when in fact, it was still a little girl ordering them around. "She looks cute but if she's working with those jerks, she's going down too."

He hid in a nearby stack of boxes and chose an alien form on his Omnitrix.

~O~

Neopolitan, Neo for short, is watching the White Fang do their work. After this, they also need to pick up that Atlesian Paladin for the boss.

She was startled by a sudden zapping sound behind her.

She turned around and saw a bright flash of green light behind a stack of boxes. Curious, and thinking someone is eavesdropping on them, she walks over to the boxes. To her surprise, a being clad in red armor popped out and blasted her with water. In defense, she opened her umbrella and shielded herself from the attack.

Water Hazard then stopped blasting her and charged forward to punch her. But as soon as his fist made contact with the umbrella...she shattered!

Water Hazard was confused. Did he kill her? No. Not possible. His train of thought was interrupted when he was kicked from behind. He didn't feel it due to his armor but he was still knocked forward.

He stood up and looked behind him. It was Neo, who kicked him apparently. How did she move so fast?

Then it hit him. Her shattering a while ago? She must be able to create illusions.

"So you can create illusions, huh? But let's see you sneak up on Eye Guy!" Water Hazard yelled and slammed the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.

But instead of Eye Guy, he instead turned into Gutrot. "Oh come on!" He yelled. He was suddenly hit on the face. He was dazed a few seconds and looked at Neo, who was smirking and...has two different eye colors?

Neo charged again and did not waste time. She unleashed a bunch of kicks and umbrella slaps at Gutrot, causing the said alien to keep blocking, but to no avail.

Gutrot grunted. "Ugh...I keep getting hit so much, I can't even think of a good chemical combination." He thought out loud.

Neo kept attacking. Whatever this monster is, there is no way he will get in their way.

Gutrot really needed to fight back or else crazy lady will beat him to death. "Ah what the heck!" He sprayed a random toxic gas at Neo. However, he suddenly felt weird when the gas is colored pink.

Neo looked at the sudden gas release and it was too late for her to cover her nose as she accidentally inhaled the gas. She began coughing.

Gutrot panted and felt pain all over his body because of Neo's attacks. "I have no idea what I just sprayed... Please be knock out gas..." He said. The pink gas then disappeared and Gutrot turned back to human.

When the pink smoke was gone, Neo rubbed her nose and her eyes. She then looked in front of her. It was a boy. But she felt strange. Her heart was beating fast. She felt her face heat up. And, as she looks at Ben, she felt like smiling. And she did. A sweet smile. Why is she smiling?

Ben was confused. "It was definitely not knock out gas! Omnitrix! Identify the gas produced by Gutrot!"

The Omnitrix dial popped up and scanned.

After a few seconds, the Omnitrix began speaking.

"Human Pheromones."

Ben froze in place. "Come again?"

"Human Pheromones. A gas that attracts human beings. Only symptom: Romantic attraction to the one who released the gas. Side effects of toxin : sexual attraction, heightened stamina and adrenaline rush on certain occasions." The Omnitrix explained.

Ben gulped. "I screwed up!"

Neo then began walking towards Ben. Ben attempted to run but he was pulled in close by Neo, who used her umbrella's hook like handle. Neo bit her lip as she rubbed her hand on Ben's chest.

Ben was getting nervous. He really wished he just turned into anyone but Gutrot a while ago.

Then both Neo and Ben heard voices. Neo knew that those White Fang soldiers are coming back. She held Ben's hand and took him behind a building.

Ben was confused at first. Then, Neo hugged Ben and let him go, winking at him (trying to say they'll meet again) and left, going back to the trucks and the White Fang.

Ben was momentarily frozen in place but then slapped himself. "Yang's gonna kill me if she finds out."

He activated his Omnitrix and turned into Big Chill, turned invisible and flew off back to Beacon.

Divide and Conquer
"All in favor of becoming the youngest Hunter and Huntresses to single-handedly taking down a corrupt organization conspiring against the Kingdom of Vale... say aye." Ruby said.

Inside team RWBBY's dorm  was the entire team. After Ben arrived, they discussed about Roman and the White Fang and how they'll put a stop to them.

Yang pumps her fist enthusiastically and responded, "Yes! I love it when you're feisty!"

"Well, I suppose it could be fun." Weiss added.

Ben shrugged. "I'm in if Yang's in."

"Nobody said aye..." Ruby said.

Blake nodded. "Alright then. We'll do this together.

"Let's hatch a plan." Ruby added.

~O~

Team RWBBY all wore different outfits. Ruby wore a brown attire and changed her hooded cape to more of a scarf with a cape. Weiss wore a white uniform-like outfit that suited her well. Blake wore a white jacket and had a bunch of black straps on her wrists. Yang wore a brown vest with a few accessories. Ben wore a black jacket with star like glitters around him, making him look like he's wearing an Alien X jacket.

Blake tightened the ribbons on her wrist. "I thought that class would never end."

"Alright, guys! Todays the day! The investigation begins!" Ruby said.

She hops off from her bed, nearly hitting Weiss.

Weiss sighed and said. "I'm so glad we're taking this seriously."

"Hey! We have a plan! That's…" Yang said and trailed off, trying to come up with the right words.

Ben smirked. "Completely serious?"

Yang snickered. "I was gonna say moderately but that works too."

Ruby nodded and said, "Everyone remember their roles?"

Weiss stood up and responded. "You and I will head to the CCT and check the Schnee records for any other Dust robberies or inconsistencies. Seeing as I am in the family, it shouldn't be a problem."

Blake stood up next. "The White Fang has regular faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members.  If I can get in, I can hopefully find out what they're planning."

Yang and Ben stood up next the former saying, "I have an old friend at the shady side of town that typically knows everything."

Ben nodded as he crossed his arms. "With a little bit of 'convincing', getting info out of him should be easy."

Ruby fist pumped. "Great. We'll meet up tonight near Yang and Ben to go over what we found. Let's do this!"

"Yeah!"

Sun yelled...Wait...Sun?!

Team RWBBY were taken aback by Sun, who was hanging upside down on a tree using his tail.

Ben and Blake both yelled. "Sun?!"

~O~

Well, the team was surprised when Sun, who also brought (or dragged) Neptune, decided to join the hunt. Weiss wanted Ruby to join Yang and Ben since, according to her, "Yang's her sister and Ben's her best friend" and that Neptune should just go with Weiss. But Ruby, being herself, just laughed and dragged Weiss away along with Neptune. Poor Weiss just wanted to be alone with Neptune. Blake then was joined by Sun and Yang and Ben still remained as a duo.

Yang is approaching a club using her motorcycle, Bumblebee.

However, Bumblebee looks different. It still looks like a motorcycle but it's wheels are horizontal, seemingly used as a hovering system. It also has two rocket boosters at the back. All in all, it looks like a hovercraft crossed with a motorcycle. It's color is black and green.

Yang parked in front of the club. As Yang got off the bike, a black, liquid like being oozed off Bumblebee. The being then formed itself into a humanoid alien. This was Ben, who calls himself Upgrade.

Upgrade looked at his girlfriend. "Where exactly are we?"

Yang smirked. "My friend's in there. But I want you to do me a favor."

If Upgrade had an eyebrow, he could have raised it in confusion.

~O~

It was just another normal day at Junior's club. Goons cleaning, DJ playing music, and Junior being Junior.

Suddenly, two of his goons enter, seemingly terrified and running away from something. Both kept yelling, "She's back!" while closing the doors.

Junior got a bit irritated. For all he knows, those two are trying to close out customers. "What are you two idiots doing?!" He yelled.

The two tried responding but the result was an explosion the opened the door.

Everyone in the club took defensive actions. The goons all went to the door.

Then, Yang started coming in to greet the club members.

"Guess who's back?" Yang said nonchalantly. She's pretty confident. Besides, if she beat them before, she can do it again.

All the goons brought out their guns and all aimed at Yang's face. Yang then smirked. She could just beat them up again, but she has something else in mind. She claps her hands, giving Ben the signal to move.

Suddenly, a bunch of bat shaped objects all attached to the foreheads of at least four to five ofthe goons. The rest all backed away from their comrades.

Then, a vampire like alien came down from the ceiling.

Whampire landed beside Yang. "Alright! Nobody move!" The alien said.

Junior growled, though he was shocked at first, mainly because some sort of monster was suddenly beside Blondie and is apparently helping her.

Suddenly, the five goons who had those bat things attached to their foreheads turned around and aimed their guns at their comrades.

Junior was confused. "What are you idiots doing? Don't aim at them, aim at Blondie and Freak show over there!"

"But Junior, we're not doing it! Our bodies are..." Goon #1 said.

"...Moving by themselves!" Goon #2 continued.

Whampire and Yang smirked. "That would be my boyfriend's doing." Yang replied.

Whampire then continued, "If you don't want your men shooting each other, tell them to stand down."

Junior sighed. "Alright. Nobody shoot." He said as he  fixes his tie and walks up to Yang.

Whampire then commanded his minions, or rather their bodies, to drop their weapons and make way for Junior.

"Blondie! What are you doing here?" Junior asked as if nothing happened.
