New chapter of this story is finally up! I'm pleased to say, and you'll be happy to know, I've decided to include a major fight in this chapter between two certain matrix wielding Tennysons. Also, I've decided on what I'm going to do about the Ultimates in both the Infinitrix and the Ultimatrix, so you don't have to worry about that.

Chance Meeting!

---

The day of the wedding was drawing ever closer, and today Ben was celebrating by having some company over. Celestia had sent letters to the rest of the Elements of Harmony to let them know about Ben's situation, and they were happy that they still had a chance with Ben. They were also excited to be helping out with the wedding itself. Currently, we find Ben in a bathrobe having just taken a shower before getting ready for the wedding rehearsal.

"I hope Rarity finished my Tux for the wedding. I've gotta look my best for my brides to be!" Ben said to himself.

Ben was a little nervous about getting married at first, but after taking the time to learn more about the princesses he could honestly say that he couldn't wait for the real deal of this wedding. He only wished that his parents could be here to see him get married. Although he was pretty sure if any members of the Plumbers were to attend, Gwen especially, they would crash the wedding just to try and put him in the clink.

"I wish there was some way to see some of my family without worrying about the Plumbers interfering in everything." Ben said to himself.

Suddenly there was a flash of blue light and someone Ben had honestly hoped to never see again had appeared in his bathroom. It was Gwen! But from the looks of it, she was just as surprised as Ben was. Naturally, Ben did the only thing he could do in a situation like this. He screamed.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHH HA HAAAAA!"

Ben was so surprised that Gwen had teleported into his bathroom that he didn't even remember that he was wearing a bathrobe. So he ended up using the shower curtain to cover himself up.

"What're YOU doing here?! Don't you know that there are places that are off limits to girls?!" Ben asked.

Gwen just stood there and raised an eyebrow at her cousin's behavior. Ben soon realized why she did that, and dropped the curtain as he remembered that he was wearing a robe.

"Wait, what am I doing?" Ben asked himself.

"Ben, is everything okay? I heard-SWEET CELESTIA!" yelled Luna as she walked into the bathroom.

She had heard Ben scream, and went to make sure that her husband to be was okay. Afterall, she didn't want any harm to come upon her fiance before they could get married. Imagine her horror when she walks in to find that a girl had walked in on Ben when he had just gotten out of what must've been a most invigorating shower. Fortunately, she could tell that this was a freak accident and not Ben cheating on her and her sister.

The other girl however, looked confused about what was going on. Luna was about to ask what had happened when she saw something on the girl's forearm. She recognized it as the Ultimatrix that Ben had told her and the others about, and instantly knew that this must be the arrogant cousin that Ben was referring to.

"Gwendolyn Tennyson…" Luna said with some venom in her voice.

But then, who can blame her? Gwen pretty much betrayed her cousin by acting the way she did towards him, so Luna had a right to be hostile. Gwen was even more confused than ever. She had managed to lock on to a faint trail of Ben's Mana and teleported to where he was, but the next thing she knew, Gwen was in a bathroom just as what looked like an anthropomorphic alicorn version of her cousin had gotten out of the shower. But Ben was a human, so how could he have changed like that.

"Ben? Is that really you?" Gwen asked.

Ben only nodded at his cousin. He was ready to activate the Infinitrix at a moment's notice, and was right to be ready as three more flashes appeared in the room. The light from those flashes revealed themselves to be Kevin, Max Tennyson, and Verdona. They looked a bit confused as to why they were there, but as soon as they saw Ben it all made sense to them.

"Looks like Paradox got us here just in time." Kevin said.

"Indeed. Now Benjamin, it's time for you to come home to-" Verdona started to say.

However, she was cut off by Ben transforming using the Infinitrix. In a flash of mint green light, he started to turn into a buff humanoid tiger. He had reddish orange fur, black stripes, along with white fur on his hands, feet, underbelly, and lower jaw. He also had a black retractable claw on each wrist.

"RATH!"

Alien Database Entry

Species Name: Appoplexian

Given Name: Rath

Whether it be for destroying a machine or beating up bad guys, Rath is one of Ben's strongest aliens. As a species, Appoplexians are one of the most anger prone beings in the cosmos. Being anthropomorphic tigers, these guys have sharp claws, teeth, and a powerful roar. They are also strong enough to take down a Tetramand with minimal effort.

Unfortunately, for all of this power, Appoplexians are not the smartest or most patient creatures out there. They have a tendency to speak in the third person, and often start their sentences with phrases like 'let me tell you something' followed by the full name or title of whoever it is they're talking to. They also think with their fists, and think that any problem can be solved by hitting something.

Once Ben had finished transforming, his arms slumped down and he slouched forward. All those present could plainly see that he was trying to turn into a different alien.

"Let me tell you somethin', new Infinitrix that keeps turnin' me into the wrong thing! YOU KEEP TURNIN' ME INTO THE WRONG THING!" Rath said to the device.

That was when Fluttershy had walked in. She had seen Ben transform, and knew that since his supposed 'family' and 'best friend' were here, he needed to transform. Fluttershy had so far been one of the very few to be able to calm Rath down without getting punched in the process, so she walked over to him and started to rub his back affectionately.

It definitely got a positive reaction out of the Appoplexian, since he started to purr from Fluttershy's touch. Kevin smirked at Rath since he thought this would make excellent blackmail. Verdona however, decided to tease her grandson about his current predicament.

"I didn't know that Appoplexians were capable of purring. Is this what you do with your little girlfriend?" Verdona teased.

The teasing was short lived though. Rath had gripped the elder Anodite by the neck, and brought her face to face with him. Yeah, Rath is in no way happy with his grandmother. If he can even call her that.

"Let me tell you somethin', Anodite Verdona Tennyson! Rath wasn't purring! It was growling friendly like! AND FOR YOUR INFO, FLUTTERSHY IS NOT RATH'S GIRLFRIEND," yelled Rath before he turned to Fluttershy and whispered "Yet."

After Celestia and Luna explained Ben's situation to the rest of the Elements of Harmony, the girls confessed that they did feel something greater than friendship around him. He said that if they wanted to try and pursue a romantic relationship with him later on, he would let them. However, they were starting off at being just friends for now. That's why Rath said that to Fluttershy, and she nodded in understanding. He turned back to Verdona, and resumed his ranting.

"And if you think that Rath is gonna let you guys come to his wedding tomorrow, YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!" Rath yelled.

He released Verdona, and walked out to get dressed, and see if Applejack had finished any of the food that was gonna be served at the wedding. He seriously needed a snack to calm his nerves. It only took about two minutes for the full situation to sink in before Gwen realized something important.

"MY COUSIN'S GETTING MARRIED?!" Gwen shrieked.

Well, this chapter is done. I'm sorry that it's so short, but next chapter will definitely be longer. Also, there will be a song next chapter so if you have any requests feel free to let me know. I'm currently tied between Binks' Brew, Wild Challenger, and Baka Survivor. If someone can send me the lyrics to those last two, that would be very helpful.
