Gwen, Ben, and I just headed into a water park, and they announced the new water slide attraction there. We were in our swimsuits there.
Ben: "Six stories of twists and turns!"
Gwen: "Hurdling down a 200 foot plunge!"
Ben: "At speeds of 25 mph!"
Gwen: "Then splash down in a turning 3000 gallon wave pool!"
Ben and Gwen: "You have entered the Riptide Rapid Zone!!"
Kyle: "Let's see if it's all that then huh?!"
Ben: "Yeah! Let's do it!" We rushed up to the top of the staircase to it, and Gwen and I ran through, but Ben was stopped.
Ben: "Hey!"
Teenager: "You're too short to ride this."
Gwen: "Oh, don't worry Ben. The banana boats are for the smaller group! Wheee!!!!" She rushed down the slide, but I stayed back, and took Ben behind a pole.
Ben: "Why aren't you going, huh?"
Kyle: "Come on. We'll sneak you on."
Ben: "How?" I turned on the Omnitrix.
Ben: "Ooh."
Kyle: "I'm not denying my friend the water slide of a lifetime!" I hit it down, and went Ripjaws.
Ripjaws: "Alright! I'll scare him, then you run past, and slide down!!"
Ben: "Got it." I walked up to the teenager.
Ripjaws: "Can I have a slide down, please?"
He looked at me, then screamed, and cowered behind his desk. Ben ran past, and jumped in, and I jumped in after him. It was all twists and turns, and it was fun! I couldn't believe how fun it was to go down one as Ripjaws. Ben fell out, and splashed in, then I came out, and cannon-balled right in.
Ben: "Radical!"
Ripjaws: "Oh yeah! Hmm?" I felt a surge of power through the Omnitrix, and I turned Grey Matter.
Ben: "Kyle!"
Grey Matter: "Help! *Blub*" Ben pulled me out.
Ben: "Why'd you turn Grey Matter?"
Grey Matter: "I didn't do it on purpose! An energy surge went through the Omnitrix, and… here I am now."
Ben: "That's never happened as Ripjaws before, right?"
Grey Matter: "No! Never! I guess the Omnitrix hates me."
Gwen: "I saw you two come down the water slide! How did you manage to do that?"
Grey Matter: "I went Ripjaws, and scared the guy. Then I cannon-balled, and now I'm Grey Matter for God knows why!"
Gwen: "Well, you can't swim like that, so turn back into Ripjaws. Okay?"
Grey Matter: "I guess I'd better." I waited a few seconds. Nothing happened.
Ben: "Um, try again?"
Grey Matter: "One more time!" I closed my eyes, and opened them a few seconds later, but I was still in Ben's hand.
Ben: "Okay…"
Grey Matter: "Concentrate!!!!" I closed my eyes completely shut, and tensed up all of my muscles to transforming, but all I did was fart.
Ben: "Eww!!!" He dropped me, then Gwen dove under, and grabbed me again.
Grey Matter: "*Gasp* Nothing happened!!"
Gwen: "I'll take you back. I'll dry you off, okay?"
Grey Matter: "That sounds nice. Ugh."
Gwen: "Ben, you'll be okay, right?"
Ben: "Yeah. I'll just be chillin' out here. Don't mind me." He started doggy paddling.
Grey Matter: "Ahh…" Gwen took me to a table, grabbed a napkin, and started drying me off.
Grey Matter: "Now, while I try to reason my way out of this predicament, you go back in the water."
Gwen: "But, you could easily be taken away."
Grey Matter: "Nah. I don't want to get in the way of your fun water-frolicing."
Gwen: "Um, okay…"
Grey Matter: "That was Grey Matter. Not me. Sorry."
Gwen: "Right. I'll see you later." She ran back for the pool.
Grey Matter: "Seeya! Oh man… how the crap am I going to hide? Jumping off this table would be suicide I'm sure!" I thought to myself, then came up with an idea.
Grey Matter: "Maybe if I hid in some nearby bushes! Gwen would think to look in a bush if I'm not here!" I jumped to the top of a chair, then slid down on it like a pole, hit the ground, and continued onwards. I hopped into the bush.
Grey Matter: "Plus, I shouldn't get sunburned here." I heard rustling noises.
Grey Matter: "Yah! What else could be here?" I hopped on to a bush twig, and started climbing up the plant it was on. I saw a guy moving through the twigs.
Grey Matter: "Wow. A guy who's trying to avoid sunburns. Probably an albino or he forgot his sunscreen."
Guy: "Who said that?"
Grey Matter: "Eep!" I got behind the plant, and stayed perfectly still.
Guy: "I heard you. Come out now, I won't hurt you."
Grey Matter (thinkng): "As if that'll work, buddy." I hopped to another nearby branch, and saw him turn around in my direction. I climbed to the top of the bush, and he stood up.
Guy: "There you are!"
Grey Matter: "That was a stupid idea!" I jumped back down, and he dived back in to the bushes. He made continuous attempts to grab me, but they all ended up in failure. I kept on the move, and ran out on to the sidewalk, running as fast as my at least .5" legs would take me. He continued pursuing me, constantly grabbing at me, while I jumped to avoid capture.
Ben: "What's that guy going after?" Gwen squinted, and saw me jumping up and down and running.
Gwen: "It's Kyle! Ben! We gotta stop him!"
Ben: "On it!" He splashed water into the guy's face.
Guy: "Hey! My glasses!" Gwen got out, and grabbed me.
Grey Matter: "I was trying to hide in the bushes, but this guy found me!"
Gwen: "I'll protect you! Don't worry about a thing!"
Grey Matter: "Oh don't worry. He's coming right now!"
Guy: "Give me that alien creature!"
Gwen: "Over my dead body!" She socked him right on the nose.
Guy: "Ouch! The face! Always the face!"
Grey Matter: "Hit his nuts!"
Gwen: "What?"
Grey Matter: "Kick him between the legs, and run!" She did, and he stumbled over, while Gwen ran off at top speed. Ben had gotten out, and was running with Gwen.
Grey Matter: "That was not cool, man."
Ben: "Let's just keep going."
Gwen: "We need to tell Grandpa!"
Grey Matter: "About my situation, yes. About him, no!"
Gwen: "But we have to say something!"
Grey Matter: "I know!" The guy recovered, and was chasing us now.
Ben: "He's gaining on us!"
Gwen: "Ben, take him, and run!" Gwen tossed me, Ben caught me, and they split up.
Ben: "I'll take good care of you, Kyle."
Grey Matter: "I'm delicate!" The guy went after Gwen, which was a good thing.
Grey Matter: "Alright. We can stop now, Ben." He stopped.
Ben: "So, what's the plan?"
Grey Matter: "Keep me out of his grip. Do you know where Max is located at this time?"
Ben looked at me.
Grey Matter: "Where is your Grandpa?"
Ben: "Back at the RV."
Grey Matter: "Just wanted to get the right mental picture of where Gwen would be chased off. Now, set me on the ground." Ben did that.
Grey Matter: "Vulpimancer form, engage!" Nothing happened.
Grey Matter: "Tetramand form, engage!" Still, nothing happened.
Grey Matter: "Kineceleran form, activate!" Silence.
Grey Matter: "Galvanic Mechomorph! Now!" Silence.
Grey Matter: "Petrosapien!" Nothing.
Grey Matter: "Pisciss Volannis!" Nothing.
Grey Matter: "Lepidopterran!" Nothing, AGAIN!
Grey Matter: "Ectonurite, Activate!" *Cue crickets*
Grey Matter: "Pyronite!" Nothing.
Grey Matter: "Earth sea creature!" Nope.
Grey Matter: "Limax!" Nothing.
Grey Matter: "Megawhatt! Now!" Nothing.
Ben: "What was all that for?"
Grey Matter: "Grey Matter said every alien species' name to try to transform to them, but I got squat!"
Ben: "This is a bad thing!"
Grey Matter: "I know. Ben, take me to the RV. Now!"
Ben grabbed me, and started running for the RV. We saw Gwen getting chased by the guy.
Ben: "He's there!"
Grey Matter: "Give Gwen a beacon to move herself out of the vicinity."
Ben: "That made no sense."
Grey Matter: "Tell her to get out of there!"
Ben: "Sorry!" He continued with saying, "Gwen! Get out of there!" She ran off, but the guy turned to Ben, and started going after him. Ben dropped me into the bushes, and ran off. Gwen grabbed me out when they were far away enough.
Gwen: "We had a plan. Don't worry about these things."
Grey Matter: "I'm just glad I'm still alive. Get me in the RV! Stat!"
Gwen knocked on the door, and Max opened up.
Max: "Gwen! Time to go already?"
Gwen: "No, but watch Grey Matter, okay?"
Max: "Okay…" She gave me to him, then closed the door.
Grey Matter: "Hi."
Max: "What seems to be the trouble?"
Grey Matter: "The Omnitrix turned me into Grey Matter, and I can't transform to another alien form!"
Max: "Have you tried changing to normal?"
Grey Matter: "No, but I doubt anything will transpire."
Max: "I see. Maybe you overloaded the Omnitrix by changing forms so much?"
Grey Matter: "That's impossible! The only way the Omnitrix would overload is if the species has taken over the body fully after being transformed too long."
Max: "How'd you know that?"
Grey Matter: "That was Grey Matter. Not me."
Max: "Okay… anyway, we need to get you changed back to Kyle, or at least another alien."
Grey Matter: "What if I'm stuck as a Galvan forever? What will happen then?"
Max: "I don't know, but even you wouldn't help yourself anymore, now would you?"
Grey Matter: "No! I would not! The being known as Kyle would cease to exist, and I like him!"
Max: "Grey Matter?"
Grey Matter: "Yeah. He's crazy. Sorry about that outburst, Max."
Max; "That's okay. I'll head out. Wanna come?"
Grey Matter: "Only if I'm in your shirt pocket!" Max grabbed me, and put me in there. He headed out, and found Ben and Gwen being chased by the guy, and then punched the guy, while Ben and Gwen hid behind him, looking innocent.
Max: "Is there any reason you're picking on my grandkids, sir?"
Guy: "They are in poseession of an extra terrestrial being! I wish to examine it for myself!"
Max: "Kids, do you know what he's talking about?"
Gwen: "Nope."
Ben: "*Fake cries* He's being mean to us Grandpa! He called us bad names!"
Guy: "No I did not!"
Max: "I suggest you leave my kids alone if you don't wish to be arrested."
Guy: "But…"
Max: "Get out of my sight." He punched him again, and the guy left, holding his nose, from what I heard.
Grey Matter: "Alright! He's no-mo!"
Max: "We have to get you changed back, and fast!"
Grey Matter: "I know what caused it. A power surge through the device has made the DNA coding sequence malfunction and repeat a strand of DNA, forcing me to stay in this form for an extended period of time, and I cannot transform, until I'm normal again."
Max: "That could take a while, don't you think?"
Gwen: "Yeah. It might?"
Grey Matter: "And I'm not going to spend the rest of this time in Max's pocket! I want to have some fun!"
Ben: "How? You're not exactly going to be impossible to catch, you know!"
Grey Matter: "I understand this." I jumped out of Max's pocket, and ran out to explore.
Gwen: "Wait!!" I kept running, then I saw a net come down on me.
Grey Matter: "What the infernal mech is this?"
Guy: "I, Howell Wayneright, have finally caught an alien!"
Grey Matter: "Yeah. Keep dreaming." I bit his net open, and tried to escape, but he grabbed me again. I bit his finger, and he dropped me, then caught me with his other hand, and I tried biting him again, but all I got was a plastic thimble.
Grey Matter: "Plastic? What the hell?"
Howell: "I have you now!" He opened a cage, and dropped me into it, then sealed it shut.
Grey Matter: "Hey!" I pounded against the walls, and Gwen tried to punch him, but he slid aside, then ran for his car. Gwen ran for it, but he took off with me in the back seat.
Howell: "I have finally caught an alien life form!"
Grey Matter: "Just wait until I get bigger, freak!"
Howell: "We'll see if that does happen."
Grey Matter (thinking): "Please! Change my back to Kyle! NOW!!!"
The RV was following right behind him, but once a light turned red, and he went past, Max lost him.
Ben: "We lost him!" Great job Grandpa!"
Max: "But it's a red light."
Gwen: "We don't have time for that!! GO!!"
Back at Howell's place… He brought me into his room, and put me in a pickle jar.
Grey Matter: "A pickle jar? Wow. LAME!!!"
Howell: "What planet are you from?"
Grey Matter: "I don't know! Let me go before I turn big on your oversized a**!"
Howell: "Such language should not be used against your captor!"
Grey Matter: "I can say whatever the d*** hell I want! You don't own me!"
Howell: "But I do now, my pint-sized vulgar friend."
Grey Matter: "Would friends put other friends in pickle jars? NO! A friend would give a friend a pickle jar for said friend to take a pickle from the said jar! Now let said pissed off little alien out of here!"
Howell: "Not yet, my little ticket to fame!"
Grey Matter: "My God… you have no friends, do you, big guy?"
Howell: "I don't need any with you by my side. You're everything I need."
Grey Matter: "Now you just sound like a gay guy. Let me out, and I'll be on my way, alright?"
Howell: "Nope. I'll be back later." He left his room.
Grey Matter: "Great. I'm stuck with the alien geek, and I can't transform worth crap! I need to reach Gwen somehow!" I looked around, and he left his cell phone on the table near me.
Grey Matter: "Jackpot! Now, how do I get out of this jar?" I saw a cat.
Grey Matter: "Here kitty! I tatse like chicken! *clucks*" It saw me do that, and it pushed the jar down to the floor. It broke, and then I hid under a table. Howell cam eback to see that his jar broke, and he looked around the room, then left it. I jumped back up to the table, grabbed his phone, and dialed Gwen's number.
Gwen: "Hello?"
Grey Matter: "It's me!"
Gwen: "You're STILL Grey Matter? Wow."
Grey Matter: "Get over here! Now! Do you guys have a GPS system?"
Gwen: "Yes. My phone does. Why?"
Grey Matter: "I'll tell you the street this guy's house is on!
Gwen: "Thank you!" I looked outside the window, and looked for a sign.
Grey Matter: "Ripley Avenue. Program that in."
Gwen: "I will. See ya then." She programmed it in, then got a lock.
Max: "You got a place?"
Gwen: "Yes. Turn right here." He did that.
Grey Matter: "I'll just try to get out of here to make myself easier to find." I climbed through an air vent, and he heard the noise, then blew me out, landing on top of a robot vacuum.
Howell: "There you are!" He went to grab me, but I jumped, landed on his arm, then started climbing up it, until I got on the counter, then continued running across to dodge getting swatted. His cat jumped out at me, then tried to grab me with its paws, but i started climbing up the cat's fur, and jumped out, and continued for the next vent out.
Howell: "Oh no you don't!" He grabbed me, but I bit him again. He let go, and I landed, then continued on to try and find another way out. I jumped onto another robot vacuum, and it carried me over to the chimney. I jumped off of it, then started climbing up the chimney. He decided to smoke me out with fire. I coughed, and nearly fell into the fire, but he caught me, then stuffed me in a glass cage, with a lock, and sealed it shut. I was unconscious.
Howell: "You're not getting away from me this time, little man."
Gwen: "That looks like his car there."
Ben: "Yeah. Let's get in."
Max knocked on the door, and a big dog jumped out at him. There was also an old lady.
Ben: "Put a leash on that thing, lady!"
Old lady: "Brutus! Sic' em!"
Max eventually grabbed the dog's elbow, and squeezed it. The dog fell asleep.
Gwen: "Nice."
Old lady: "Leave already!"
Ben: "Geez. Fine! We'll go!" He slammed the door shut on her.
Gwen: "Nice going, Ben."
Ben: "I know."
A car pulled up in front of Howell's house, and some guys in medieval outfits came in.
Medieval dude 1: "Where is it?"
Howell: "In my room!" He led the three guys there, then showed them me.
Medieval dude 2: "Excellent. Come with us, Mr. Wayneright."
Howell: "Excellent!" I woke up.
Grey Matter: "Whoa! What the hey's goin' on here?"
Howell: "You're about to become the Forever Knights' new guinea pig."
Grey Matter: "YAAAHHHH!! GWEN!! HELP!!!!"
Gwen saw the guys with me in the cage, and they went back to the RV to follow them once he took off.
Howell: "You're gonna love where we're going."
Grey Matter: "I won't. Trust me, big guy!" They walked up to a guy with a golden mask in the building, and set me in front of him.
Gold man: "Excellent work, Mr. Wayneright. I never expected this to be true, what with your fake evidence from before."
Grey Matter: "What is going on here anyway?"
Gold man: "Oh. I'm sorry. I'm Enoch. The leader of the Forever Knights."
Grey Matter: "Great. Medieval alien obsessors. What is next?"
Enoch: "Come, men, and Howell."
Howell: "Excellent!" He presented us to a dissector machine.
Grey Matter: "Oh hell no! You are NOT going to put me in that thing!"
Enoch: "I would be quiet if I were you."
Grey Matter: "I'm never quiet."
Gwen: "This place is a castle?"
Ben: "Wow. Some place, huh?"
Max: "The Forever Knights' stronghold."
Gwen: "Plumbers had a few run-ins with this group?"
Max: "Yeah. Let's get in before they do anything with Kyle we don't want to see." They snuck in through the gate out front, then started heading in past the guards. They managed to get in before they got spotted, and Max knocked him down.
Ben: "So, what's the deal with these guys?"
Max: "The Forever Knights have stolen alien technology for their own selfish desires."
Ben: "That's something! We need to get Kyle back! Grey Matter probably knows how all that stuff works!"
Gwen: "Or they're gonna kill him! Kyle is in control most of the time! He doesn't know what that tech is!"
Max: "Then we'd better hurry!" They continued on.
Grey Matter: "I do NOT want this man! Please! Howell!!! I'm too young to die like this!!"
Howell: "You're going to dissect him?"
Enoch: "Why not?"
Howell: "He has a mind of his own! You can't do this to him!"
Grey Matter: "You call imprisoning me in a pickle jar against my will fine? Wow! Weird sense of logic you have, dude!"
Howell: "And listen to how he talks! He's clearly lived with humans long enough!"
Grey Matter: "Listen to the weird man!"
Enoch: "Men, escort this peasant out of my sight!"
Howell: "No!" He ran, grabbed me, hitting a few people with the glass cage, then ran.
Grey Matter: "Wow. You actually decided to save me! Maybe you aren't a total jerk after all!"
Howell: "This is as far as I take you. You're on your own now."
Grey Matter: "Whatever! At least I'm out of Enoch's dissection plans!" I ran along the floor, and hid behind statues as well as I could on the way through the hallways, until…
Gwen: "Grey Matter!"
Ben: "Kyle!"
Grey Matter: "Guys!" I ran out, and climbed onto Gwen's shoe. She picked me up.
Gwen: "Kyle!"
Grey Matter: "Gwen! Ben! Max! You all came to save me!?"
Max: "Of course. We wouldn't be friends if we didn't."
Grey Matter: "Let's get the heck outtie!"
We continued out, but Enoch stopped us in an alien tech room.
Enoch: "You're not going any further!"
Max: "We will get out of here!"
Gwen: "Kyle, any ideas?"
Grey Matter: "Put me near that pulse hyper core. Ben, grab the gillenium capacitor. I'll create a bomb to get us out of here!" Ben grabbed the thing closest to him, and handed it to Gwen, and she handed it to me to mix it with the pulse thing to create the bomb.
Grey Matter: "I'm done!"
Enoch: "Attack!"
Max: "Run!" Gwen grabbed me, and we all ran out. A few minutes of running, the castle exploded, and we ran into the RV.
Gwen set me down on a table.
Gwen: "We made it!" Max started the RV up, and took off. I was forcibly reverted back to normal.
Kyle: "Finally! I'm me again!"
Ben: "And not a moment too soon!"
Kyle: "The Omnitrix should work normally again, right?" I looked at it, turned it to Upgrade, and became him.
Ben: "Looks okay now." I went Wildmutt.
Gwen: "So far, so good." Then I went normal.
Kyle: "It's working fine. Whoo!"
Max: "Hopefully that doesn't happen again."
Kyle: "It won't. I promise you!"
In a car, Enoch was still shown to be alive.
Enoch: "Find out everything you can about these people. All four of them."
Medieval dude: "Yes, my lord."
The End. Hopefully, the Omitrix doesn't bug out again.
