Special Operative: Fenton

Chapter 1:

This is curry-llama here. I'm sorry for starting a new story without finishing the poison nin. I just didn't know how to continue that story line as I hadn't thought it through beforehand. My knowledge is limited to all the Ben 10 series except for omniverse which I will dedicate myself to watching. I have seen a few episodes of it here and there but never in order so I'll get onto that. Most of this story is going to be set in the omniverse plot line because Danny is younger than Ben. I hope this story will give all my fellow llama's out there a taste of my infinite imagination! May the flames of youth be with you!

Chapter 1: Broken family

Loving my parents was second nature before this happened. We were a happy family although the secretive nature of their work was apparent. Recently though it had been going on for too long. They would come and go for days, weeks or even months! Jazz had becoming more like a part of my family than they ever were. Yet I knew they loved us. Everything they did they said they did for a reason. So I bit down my lips and didn't complain.

It was too much now though. The last few years every spare time they had at home was directed to a new obsession towards ghosts. They went away less and less but they were always at the basement. Couldn't they see we needed them? Couldn't they see they were neglecting their own kids? That's why I had it.

Jazz was still quite and stayed in her room ignoring their activities because they wanted it to be ignored. It was too much for me to handle though. Today they had come out of the basement frustrated that apparently a portal of some sort didn't work. The technology they worked on was no doubt important and advanced but so was I as far as a 12 year old was concerned. I should have been just as important on their list.

My advance towards the machine I had been told to stay away from wasn't hasty. They had always warned us to never walk in there without them. The machines were apparently dangerous if used wrongly. I always wondered how they hadn't died because of how clumsy they were. The large portal like figure was obviously their new invention. Then I did the most stupid thing anyone could have ever done. I walked in and pressed a button that would forever change my life.

~A year later

The year had gone by quickly with a lot of worry. Ghost attacks had become frequent but everyone was used to the new government agency taking care of things. That however wasn't the problem. My parents had become suspicious of me. Jazz had become suspicious of me. No one knew though. At the start it was hard to control something that would turn you invisible and intangible at any moment. A few months later and it became easier.

Thankfully I didn't have to stop the ghosts coming in because of the new agency or I would have ended up wasting all my spare time on it. Whoever they were though knew I was one of the ghosts who had come out a few times to help, and they didn't trust me one bit. Helping out wasn't top on my priority list but whenever it called for it the job was mine.

Although I tended to stay away from ghosts in general my suspicious nature ended up making Sam and Tucker leave me. Who could blame them when their friend kept a life altering secret right under their noses. I just couldn't bring myself to tell them about it though.

My parents walked out of the lab and sat down at the dinner table. Their smiles lightened up my life and I was grateful they could sit down for dinner for once in my life. Jazz looked at me and smiled. I places the dinner I had cooked in front of them and smiled.

"How was school son?" Dad asked.

"You know the usual. Sam and Tucker being idiots with me," I lied.

The truth was our friendship was shaky. Tucker knew I was keeping something from him and so did Sam. Whatever semblance of trust we once had was broken because of my fear. The agency portrayed ghosts as evil abominations and my parents invented machines to kill them vigorously. Plus Sam's mother was out against ghosts and funded my parents. It wasn't like I was just going to waltz up and say 'hey guys, I happen to be a ghost who can take on human form'.

"What about you Jazz?" Maddie asked.

"Well I did an essay on Mac Beth but all the class could ever seem to talk about was the cool monsters being sited," she sighed.

I watched her carefully eying our parents' movements. She was watching to see the twitch as they lied to us again. This was one of the reasons why Jazz learnt psychology. They did in fact act like they knew of the matter much more than we knew about. Jazz and I had suspected it for a while. Those monsters had something to do with their previous business.

Suddenly the phone rang and mom looked at it. Their classic serious face went up and I knew the procedure. They were probably going to leave for a long 'business' trip. I felt my patience break as I watched them leave the perfect meal. Once they were out of sight I let out my frustration and slammed my palms on the bench rattling it. I was so angry and I knew I had to cool my head.

"Danny... I know it's hard but I'm sure they have a reason." Jazz said trying to calm me down.

"I know they have a reason Jazz!"

"They still love us Danny. Give them a chance... We can try again to get them to stop," she begged.

"They don't love us Jazz. Love is shown through actions, not through words," I said before storming to my room.

Quickly I transformed into my ghost form and followed them at a safe distance, invisibly. They seemed to not notice me because I was flying of their radar. This was too much though. Their secret would be found out today and whatever it was I would tell Jazz and get it over with. What could they possibly hide that could be worse than being a ghost?

Their car stopped after a while. The place seemed really shady and what seemed even shadier was the fact that a rusty RV stopped next to them. An old man in a bright shirt walked out holding a round circle like object in his hands. It seemed to warrant the trust of my parents so I assumed it must've been some sort of identification. I tuned my ears to listen in.

"Things are going good recently. Too good," said the old man.

"Why did you bring us here over that? Don't you know the plumbers have relieved us to work with the more imminent threat?" Dad asked.

I wondered why they were talking about plumbers. What was so important about getting pipes fixed?

"Yes, but rumours say otherwise. Your weapons against the ghost problem have been important but a new threat is rising. The human government has found out about them and are keeping them in a tight facility." The old man explained.

I wondered who he meant by 'them'. Were they some sort of new ghosts? I decided to listen in. Mom and dad were even tenser now that he mentioned 'them'.

"So what do you expect us to do?" Mom asked.

"Magister Patelliday is unable to infiltrate with his appearance. You two are well trusted within the government and are the only ones who can free them. The refugees have to be placed under plumber protection before being shipped off to where they belong." The old man explained.

"I see. The government has files on every plumber operative?" Dad asked losing all of his previous goofiness.

"Yes but fortunately only the files of the recent two years."

"So that's why you want us because all the other plumber operatives are on their radar. We have to agree Jack. For all we know they could be dying down there from all sorts of mistreatment." Mom said.

I was taken back. These things they were trying to save weren't ghosts. If they were ghosts then they would have just let them suffer there till they died. Whoever they are my parents had a great deal of sympathy for them. I could only wonder what it was like if they showed the same kind of worry for Jazz and I.

"Ok we'll take the job but you have to give us the coordinates and everything you know." Dad said.

The old man agreed and gave them a file which they read through. I wondered why they were acting so professionally all of a sudden. At home they were a bunch of klutz which you somehow knew had a sort of danger in their stance. At first I used to think they were cool spies in some other countries stopping wars like in the movies but it all changed. The 'cool' factor in their jobs vanished when the reality that they weren't here for us had hit.

"Thank you Max," dad finally said giving me the name of the old man.

Max nodded and went back into that old thing he called a vehicle. I wondered for a second if that thing even worked or how it managed to run looking like a pile of old scrap metal. It was probably all a façade to make it look less dangerous.

I followed my parents the rest of the night. It was boring to watch them work and sleep but I knew after whatever preparation they had that they would show me the true nature of their work. After they woke up and started driving again I noticed it was towards a military base. I knew that my job would get much, much harder from here.

All the military basses in the world were fitted with ecto-censers because natural ghost portals were everywhere. Ghosts were a major threat these days. I however wasn't an ordinary ghost. I was a ghost who could turn human at will and still project my powers. So that's what I did. I turned human and with great difficulty my body turned invisible. I ran through the gate when I had the chance because I couldn't use two ghostly powers at once when I was in human form.

I followed my parents on foot as I held onto the back of the car. I focused my entire mind onto keeping my body invisible. When we were in they finally got out of their car. I watched as they talked with an important looking military figure.

"A pleasure to meet you Jack and Maddie Fenton. Your work has kept out ghosts for quite a while. What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Thank you, Kurnell Masters. We heard that your generator is powered by nuclear fuel and we were wondering if we could change it to electricity." Jack asked.

"What for?" he questioned.

"Well ghosts have a weakness to electricity which seems to be the only other thing they are effected by other than ectoplasm. If we could update your system then even the smaller level ghosts wouldn't be able to entre," mom explained.

I knew they were trying to get inside. The 'people' were probably in a secure facility underneath. The man agreed and they went down under ground to the generator. I didn't trust the man because he felt weird. His sleek hair tied back in a ponytail didn't do much to make him look friendly either. I was surprised when they actually started working on the electricity generator like they promised them. Then I realise that they wanted to kill ghosts too.

It seemed after a few hours the guards trusted them enough to leave them unsupervised. They must've already trusted them beforehand to let them go unsupervised. That's when I remembered what Max had said about how they were trusted by the government.

"Ok we have five minutes honey," mom said before loading her gun and walking quickly.

Dad stopped her "Wait Maddie," he said softly.

I watched a scene I had never witnessed in my life. My parents were acting unlike themselves. I had never seen such a grave look on dad's face ever. Mom's eyes showed a sadness that had never been on her face at home either. They were completely different people.

"What is it Jack?"

"You know if we fail this our jobs are gone and we could probably never see the faces of Danny and Jazz again. We could never be a family again," dad said softly.

"Jack... We had never been a family... We can't redo our mistakes so let's look at the future," mom said focusing on the mission.

To hear what she said had hurt me quite a lot. They could've still changed their ways and became a family again but she just gave up on us. I focused on my mission and ran behind them to find out what this was all about. They followed their blue prints and I followed them.

Once we had stopped I was witnessed with a large metal door. Mom and dad worked to hack through it quickly. Sighs of relief could be heard as they managed to open it without setting of alarms. I quickly ran in just encase the opened door closed with me on the other side. When I finally had the mind to look around I was shocked. The whole area was filled with weird looking creatures in pods. Some were hurt and others were in sitting up looking at my parents with hope.

"We are here to free you so be quite and act like we aren't here." Mom said before going back to work.

I knew something was off though. That's when my enhanced senses heard and felt the vibrations of another person behind us. I turned around to see a man in black aiming a sniper at my parents. He was about to pull the trigger when I turned visible and shot and ecto blast at him.

Shit my parents know now.

Hello Curry-llama here!

Has anyone guessed who Max is? Of course you have and if you haven't its Max Tennyson. This is an AU where Danny's parents are plumbers. I liked the idea and walla the story was born! This isn't a story where Danny gets an omnitrix either. I kind of like where this story is going to go and don't worry Ben and crew will be in it in a couple of chapters at least. I'm not leaving them out so don't quite reading. I'm sure I can find a good story line for this as I go because the nature of this universe is pretty volatile unlike Naruto where if you change one thing everything else is pretty much stuffed. Please review and tell me where I can improve my grammar. No flames please! Constructive criticism is appreciated though.
