Doctor's Disorders (Gren)

Doctor's Disorders is the second episode of Gren 10 (CYOA).
==Plot==
[Classes have been going well for the past week or so with training with Myaxx two more times so far. Currently Gren sits inside Animo’s class as he gave a lecture on an expanded scientific method than what Earth usually has.]
Gren:It's crazy how much knowledge there is that Earth in general hasn't been able to figure out. Good thing there are some human Plumbers to help bridge things.
[Animo wrapped up class, dismissing everyone minus Gren. Gren watched everyone leave, curious why Animo wanted to talk with him.]
Animo: I have noticed your interest and skill in this class so far, Caio. I'd like to offer you a lab assistance position.Unpaid so not to worry about it counting as a job.
Gren: Wait, really? That's great! I'd love to! Thank you, Mr. Doctor Professor! When do I begin?
Animo: I will let you know. I still have to make sure its okay with the Headmistress
Gren: Oh, I see. Alright then, I'll be waiting! Thanks again for the opportunity!
[Gren walked out of the room, waving goodbye. As he walked out, Rex put his arm around him.]
Rex: Ever been to the United States?
Gren: Not really - believe it or not, my first out-of-Brazil experience is literally right here in outer space. Why do you ask?
Rex: Up for a little adventure in Washington DC?
Gren: I mean, yeah, it could be fun. I'm still not a fan of that teleporter though…
[Gren held his breath trying not to get sick just from thinking about it.]
Rex: The more you use it the more you get used to it. Come on we got some friends to meet up with.
[Rex takes Gren over to the teleporter pad there he sees two girls waiting for the both of them. One was an Indigenous wearing a red jacket and khaki tactical pants.The other was blonde with purple eyes, she wore a black dress.]
Rex:This is Kai Green Leader of Team KARV and this is Lucy Mann member of Team MLCH.
Gren: Hi, I’m Gren! Nice to meet you! Team KARV, huh
Kai: Another first year like Rex? Animo has a lot of faith in your year. 
Lucy: Hi! It's such a pleasure to meet you!
Gren: Yup! I guess Animo does.So, Rex, let’s get going?
[They all walk over to the teleporter pad and are transported inside the Capitol Building basement as that is the teleporter location for that area.]
Rex: Here we are, home sweet home
Gren: Well, this should be fun! And don't worry, I don't feel too sick, so we're good to go Well, maybe a little sick, but still, it'll be fine
[Rex gets everyone out of the building as he gives them a tour of the city. Lucy giggles as Kai was rather disinterested in the tour.]
Gren: Something the matter, Kai?
Kai: Nothing personally.. just, thinking about my grandfather and the stories he passed down of our tribe. I am only here for Lucy.
Gren: I see... She seems like a very enthusiastic person
Kai: Oh she is, that's what I like about her. Always just so full of life. I think it's a reason Animo chose her as a lab assistant. for personal interaction between everyone
Gren: Oh, you're lab assistants? That's nice, Animo said he wants me to join as one too so depending on what the Headmistress says, we might be working together soon
Kai: I think thats why Rex arranged this outing. All three of us are lab assistants for Animo. He picked each of us for a particular reason
Gren: Hm, yeah, you're right. That makes a lot of sense
Kai: Question is, I am unsure of why he's picking you?
Gren: Excuse me? I've been performing quite well in his classes, and it's a really interesting subject to me - one I understand better than you can imagine - , so I don't think it's that much of an absurd choice... besides, who am I to second guess him
Kai: I mean, we all specialize in some way for the lab. Rex is a tech expert, Lucy is a people person, I am a heavy researcher and archive specialist. I have not heard of your specialty.
Gren: I... uh, I guess you could say it's a wildcard!
Kai: We will see.
[The two of them catch back up to Rex and Lucy as he guides them to a nice place to eat.]
Gren: Good stuff! Though I still like my country's food better. I could tour you guys there someday as a way to repay the favor.
Kai:Only if you come to the true beauty of this country. My home.
Lucy:Uh, doy! Of course we will! After all we are all friends.
Gren: Yup, I would love to someday
[As they ate, they heard screaming. They look to the source to see people fleeing from Captiol Hill.]
Rex: Great, there goes our ride home.
Gren: That doesn't sound good... I'll go check if there's anybody hurt there
[Gren says as he gets up and starts heading in that direction]
Kai: Gren, no!
[It was too late, Gren had run off to see what caused the panic. He ran and saw the source, a giant sludgey almost watery monster was attacking. Gren finds some cover and transforms into a sort of mechanical turtle.]
Shellhead: Time to clean up this... whatever that is, I guess.
[Shellhead then ran up to the slimy monster to try to subdue it. The creature was standing at about 20 feet making it way taller than Gren, it's goopy body was able to easyily move around him.]
Shellhead: Hm. Slippery. Gonna have to try a different strategy.
[Shellhead then just stands perfectly still in front of the monster, waiting for a hit. Shellhead stood in front of the monster which makes it fall for the bait, hitting him in the face with it's tail, the kinetic hit absorbing into Shellhead’s body. Shellhead tried to use the absorbed energy to speed up to the creature and get a hit in, though not particularly caring about protecting himself in the process. This worked but only splattered the creature which in turn backfires as the splatter hits Shellhead, absorbing the kinetic energy as the creature reformed.]
Gren: You know, for a jelly, this thing is pretty tough.
[Shellhead quipped before attempting a different strategy, firing a kinetic blast at it instead. The kinetic blast splits the jelly beast but instead of reforming, it disappeared.]
Gren: Okay, that was weird. At least it's gone now, I wonder if it's some kind of alien.
[As Gren tried to figure out what just attacked he started to hear beeping as he realize the timer is almost up as usual.]
Gren: Just in time! I should probably get back, they're probably worried about me.
[Gren timed out in the same alleyway he started in as he made his way to his friends who were out looking for him.]
Gren: I'm gonna have to think on a good excuse for this
Rex: There you are 
Kai: What happened? 
Lucy: DID YOU DROWN IN THAT CREATURES WATER!? IS IT WATER?!
Gren: Okay, uh, in order: I'm alright, I helped some people get away from that big jelly, and I have no idea what it is
Lucy: I WONDER IF IT TASTES GOOD?! 
[Through her excitement, she loses focus on keeping her human form and began dripping. ]
Kai:Lucy, form. 
[Lucy quickly calmed herself down and reformed]
 Kai: Looks like we have a mystery on our hands. and seeing as we can't get back without traveling to another base, we are waiting regardless.
Gren: Rex, you're good with tech. Don't you think you can do anything about the teleporter?
Rex: I'll need a way to get down there. I doubt they will let 4 students anywhere near an alien/monster crime scene.
Gren:That's fair. We could try to provide a distraction, but it's probably not worth it. You know, when I was fi-, uh running from the monster, it kind of disappeared suddenly. I wonder what caused that?
Lucy:A DISTRACTION? I GOT IT!
Gren: Lucy, wait, that might not be a good- she'll do it anyway, won't she?
Kai and Rex: Yup…
[Lucy was already gone and next thing Gren knew the guards were running away from the teleporter pad as Rex and Kai rushed to it.]
Gren: Well, okay. That works.
[Gren stopped after they moved a certain distance to check whether the watch was charged or not. It was not charged as he got to the teleporter pad, Lucy changed from her true Lenopan form back to human.]
Gren: So, Rex... you know what to do... right?
Rex: Not exactly but I know the basics of matter displacement. I just need some more time.
Gren: That's definitely not what I wanted to hear, I don't really wanna get mis-displaced you know. But nevermind that, if we're here already, we could start getting on the track of whatever that thing was, right?
Rex: That’s more Kai’s deal.
Gren: Is that so?
Kai: Well yeah. Anyways there seems to be some black goo on the teleported pad. Either it started here or fled here.
Gren: It did just disappear, but I don't recall if it set foot on the teleporter when it did.
Kai: Well we will need to look at the academy regardless. it is connected to someone at the school.
Gren: That is for sure. So what's the plan?
Kai: See if there is a leak trail anywhere on campus. Then we find out who if anyone is connected and bust them. Keep it to ourselves as well. Not sure who it could be. it can be anyone.
Lucy: Go, Team KLGD!
Rex: What? That’s not even a word?
Gren: Of course it is. 'Clogged’. But that doesn’t matter. You’re right, Kai.
Rex: How is that Clogged? 
Lucy: Now we really are Plumbers .
[She started laughing]
 Rex: Lucy it’s not that fu- Oh fuck, I got it.
[The teleporter made a noise as it booted up.]
Gren: Well, we're back! Great job, Rex. Now, you guys know what to do.
[All of them hop onto the teleporter and on the other side the goo was nowhere to be found.]
Gren:I was expecting to find something messier. Guess we'll have to investigate a little.
Kai: Only a matter of time before someone slips up. 
[Gren’s phone started for buzz with an alert to go to Myaxx's office.]
Gren: Well, I gotta go. Wish me luck.
Lucy: GOOD LUCK, GREN!!!
[Gren headed into Myaxx's office as her and Xylene were waiting for him. It wasn’t Gren’s training time so he was confused as to why was Xylene there.]
Gren: I'm here. What's the matter? Is there something wrong?
Myaxx: Animo spoke to me about the potential of you as a Lab Assistant.
Gren: Oh, yeah, he told me he was going to…. so , what’s the verdict on that?
Myaxx: It’s strange that he’s picking you out of the blue like this. Animo usually picks people with a special skill. With yours under wraps it’s strange.
Gren: Well, when you put it that way... do you think that he's aware of the watch?
Myaxx: It’s a possibility. Which is why I don’t exactly want you to partake in the lab. Animo, while he is smart, hasn’t been the same since he lost his arm.
Gren: ..right. And how exactly did that happen?
Myaxx: An ex-student, was expelled and took vengeance on Animo while he was on Earth winning an award. It's rather complicated.
Gren: Right, I see. Oh, uh, there's an other thing I need to tell you..
Myaxx: Go on?
Gren: I've been on Earth earlier today - went out with the other assistants - and there was a weird blob monster on a rampage. Not sure if alien or something else, but it apparently used the teleporter. Thought it was pretty suspect, you might want to keep an eye out….and I had to use the watch to fight it. Don’t worry, nobody saw me use it.
Myaxx: Not again…. Probably not hard to believe but this has happened before. When a snake experiment of Animo’s got loose and ran. It might be the same cause. I… I need you to investigate him, so I'm going to approve the lab assistant position.
Gren: Animo made that? Now it all makes sense. I'll keep an eye out on him. I could start right now, too.
[Gren activated the watch cycling through the aliens.]
Myaxx: Safer to go in as a student rather than a hero.
[Xylene enters something into the computer causing your phone to go off with the permission to be out of your dorm for lab assistant duties.]
Myaxx: Be careful.
Gren: Don’t worry, I am.
[Gren was dismissed and decided to check out Animo’s lab to see if there was anything suspicious. Animo was already inside there with the other three lab assistants.]
Animo: I have received news you would be joining us, I didn't expect this soon. 
Lucy: YAY!
Gren: I'm really glad to be here, Prof. Animo. Thanks again for this opportunity.
Animo: Of course. Kai will show you around. I’ll be in my office. Knock if you need me.
[Gren nodded silently in agreement. Kai showed Gren around and even had a desk ready for him. On the desk was a folder with Gren’s name on it with an assignment from Animo. Gren picked it up checking out its contents. Inside was a written note from Animo that said to study a potential subject for biological advantages, can be from Earth or any planet.]
Gren: Hm... Might be a good opportunity to go back to Earth to take notes... and maybe see if I can have another run-in with a certain experiment.
Kai: Field research needs to be approved first, unless you're Lucy 
Lucy: I AM THE FIELD 
[Lucy laughed at her own joke.]
Gren: Makes sense. I don't wanna disturb Animo so soon, maybe I can find some specimen to study around the academy then instead.
[Screams were heard coming from Animo's office. Violent screams at that. Gren rushed to his office door and tried to open it upon hearing the screams.The door opened as all of the lab assistants watched as Animo's right arm grew black goo appendages from it and reformed his arm completely.]
Gren: What th- did he jus-
Animo: Eureka! It worked! It worked!
Gren: Professor? What worked?
Animo: I did some testing on myself using Lucy's lenopan DNA as a base and I regenerated by limb!
[Lucy's demeanor quickly changed at the mention of her powers being used like that as she left the room .]
Animo: It's time to celebrate!
Gren: This... raises a few questions. Mainly ethical and biological questions.
Kai: Yeah, it seems Lucy didn't even know you took her DNA.
Gren: You could've gotten yourself a prosthetic arm, you know. It would've probably been easier, safer... less immoral and against the laws of nature, maybe?
Animo:This was all for science. Now I can cure all amputees!
Gren: Listen, professor, wanting to help people isn't a bad thing. But I don't think many people would want to give up their humanity for that. You don't even know if there are any collateral effects!
Animo: You are just children, I do not expect any of you to understand. Rex's parents didn't even understand the work the-
[Rex sucker punched him in the jaw and walked out. Animo fell to the floor as he screamed in pain again. His body changed rapidly. The Lenopan DNA seemed to not be reacting well to Animo's as it began to turn his skin gooey and black.]
Gren: This doesn't look good. We need to talk to Xylene, maybe she can help treat him somehow.
[His body bursted as it regrew and reformed..... into Sploot.]
Gren: Of course! Animo was the monster! That's explains the attack right when the lab assistants were on Earth…
[Gren realized as he ran away, looking for a hiding place and/or a way to contact Myaxx and Xylene. Kai took out her weapon which was a rod, when she clicked it, it turned into a sword, she charged at Animo. Gren decided to activate the watch, despite the situation potentially exposing him, to help Kai fight Animo. He slammed down the watch which transformed him into Swampfire.]
Swampfire:Let’s turn up the heat!
[Swampfire ran back towards the lab to help Kai face Sploot, readying two fireballs in his hands. Kai looked confused at Swampfire’s sudden appearance.]
Kai: There's a methosian student here???
[This was the distraction the monster needed, Kai was smacked around as Sploot ran for the teleporter pad.]
Swampfire:Hi, I'm, uh... Swamps. I heard some screams and wanted to check if everything was alright. Seemingly not!
[Swampfire nervously made up on the spot while attempting to hit Sploot with fire blasts. The fireblasts seemed to harm Sploot only to be instantly put out as he teleported away back to DC.]
Kai: Why is Animo so hellbent on DC?
Swampfire: Maybe we should go and find out.
[Both of them were teleported to DC and were attacked as soon as they got there as Sploot fired a blast of jelly at them, sticking both heroes to the wall as they ran away.]
Kai: I am for sure quitting.
[Swampfire heated up his palms and it slowly freed the two heroes.]
Kai: Alright, where did that son of a bitch go?
Swampfire: You'd think a big pile of gunk would leave behind a trail.
Kai: He must be getting better with his powers.
[She took out her phone and began typing furiously.]
Swampfire: How's that gonna help, exactly?
Kai: It's called research, Swampy. It'll help me figure out the connection in DC, see if he's going anywhere.
Swampfire: And did you find anything?
Kai: Years ago, before I was even born, his work on fossilization was put into the Natural History Museum with his partner Dr.Robert Kelly. So that can be the first place we look. Although you may have a hard time getting there without getting attention from the locals.
Swampfire: Don't worry about it. I can travel underground. You’re gonna have to tell me the directions though.
Kai: Fairly close actually. it's westbound about a block or two.
[Swampfire nodded and took of for the museum. Kai arrived shortly after having ran there. She unlocked the door and opened it for Swampfire.]
Kai: Plants, first.
[The entrance had a nice looking t-rex fossil.... with skin? It started to move as a gunshot was heard as Kai had shot the thing without question.]
Swampfire: Looks like the doc did come here... and as a doctor, not a booger.
[The t-rex's skin moves off of him revealing a second layer of skin, the first was the doctor regenerating the fossil back to life to fight Gren. Swampfire ignited the whips he grew and lashed out at the dinosaur several times in quick succession.]
Swampfire: You go after the doctor, I'll handle this thing!
[This quickly does a number on the beast as Kai chased after the Doctor who made his way into another exhibit.Swampfire wrapped vines around its snout and it lashed around which made Swampfire end up on its back., riding the T-rex like a horse. Swampfire tightened the vines and approached its face to release some sleeping spores. As he rode around he crashed into Animo who just received a pterodactyl and as the spores are released and knock out the T-rex, the worst case scenario happens. Gren changed back into human in front of Kai. Before she could say anything, the pterodactyl grabbed her taking off as Animo followed, purposefully leaving behind a trail.]
Gren: Myaxx is going to kill me…
[Gren followed them on foot, taking 10 minutes to get to the Washington Monuement s Kai is being hung over the peak and Animo is gone.]
Gren: Pterodactyl, meet Astrodactyl!
[Gren said as he transformed into his flying alien and flew to Kai. He got to her and used his feet to grab her.]
Astrodactyl: Are you okay?
Kai: I AM VERY MUCH NOT OKAY! KILL THAT STUPID ASS DINO!
[He set Kai down and flew back to the pterosaur and readied his star whips . The flying dino charged straight at Astrodactyl, his whips wrapped around it's leg. Astrodactyl spun around and knocked the bird dino into the Washington Monument causing a moderate crack on it. Kai finally managed to get her sword back and began firing at the dino. Astrodactyl formed swords from his wrist ports and sliced off the creature’s wings. With it down for the count, Astrodactyl flew back down to Kai to check on her.]
Astrodactyl: Are you okay now?
Kai: We will talk about this later, for now fly us northbound, Animo let it slip where he is going.
[She extends her arms to be carried by Astrodactyl. He grabbed her with his legs again and took off.]
Astrodactyl: Let’s hope I don’t change back mid-air.
Kai:If you drop us, I will kill you.
[They headed Northbound and saw a house in shambles and black goo everywhere.]
Astrodactyl: Looks like this is it. Got a plan?
Kai: Subdue the suspect and arrest him.
[Astrodactyl got low enough and Kai jumped for it as she landed on Sploot's head and stabbed him in the head as she landed. Astrodactyl wrapped around Sploot’s body with star whips.]
Astrodactyl: Our ideas of subduing must be very different. Good thing he’s made of slime.
Dr.Kelly: What the fuck is this day?
[Kai got out an egg like thing and is about to throw it at Animo only to get it knocked out of her hands by him as she is pushed away as well. Astrodactyl lassoed the egg over to him as he sent a shockwave from his pack to Sploot. The shockwave splattered Sploot, as he started to reform.]
Kai: Quick, use the egg!
[As Sploot reformed Astrodactyl threw the egg at him, causing the slimy villain to be sucked into it.]
Kai: Conteggment. Useful device you will learn more about this year.
Astrodactyl: Well, at least that's dealt with. Are you okay, mister?
Dr.Kelly: I want to forget this ever happened. 
Kai: That can be arranged.
Astrodactyl: ..you're gonna erase his memories?
Kai: Standard procedure. If we don't Headmistress will.
Astrodactyl:I see. So uh, speaking of memories... can we talk about... this?
[He motioned towards his alien body, as Kelly got his memories wiped. The two walked away as Gren changed back to human.]
Kai: Explain.
[She started walking towards the teleporter to go home.]
Gren: I ended up with this... alien watch on my first day at the academy. It allows me to turn into ten other alien species. I've been getting special training from the Headmistress about using it ever since. But it's supposed to be a secret. I'm pretty sure she'll rip off my skin if she finds out anyone else knows. I just couldn't let you fight Animo alone.
Kai: The headmistress is not that mean. Just because she is an alien doesn't mean she'll be a savage like that.
Gren: Not a savage, but she is very fierce and stern.
Kai: Well of course, how else is she supposed to keep a bunch of students in line?
Gren: For sure. But this is a little bigger than just the academy. We've already has a drone attack after this thing, and I suspect Animo knew about it as well.
Kai: Well then you need a team now rather than later. I'll see about Myaxx letting you be about of KARV for now.
Gren: hanks for this, Kai. We should probably check up on Rex and Lucy.
[The two teleport back to campus and are met with guns in their faces.]
Myaxx: Stand down! You two, in my office. Now.
[The two get into Myaxx’s office and started to explain everything to her. Myaxx thought about it for a moment.]
Myaxx: While it would be good for Gren to be with second years, I do think KARV doesn't need to know about this. Since Rex and Lucy were involved, you four shall make a temporary team for training pourposes, you are to not tell them about the watch. The less people that know the better.
Gren: I'm really sorry that I outed it like this but in my defense, if I didn't, someone could've been seriously hurt by Animo. That's what the watch is for, and what I'm here for, right? But I agree that secrecy is important. It could also lead to people getting hurt if knowledge about this thing spreads out too much.
Myaxx: I am not mad the secret was leaked. That was bound to happen. I just don't want it spreading like a wildfire. So kai will help with the real training while Lucy and Rex can aid in support as team member missions
Gren: Understood. Thank you, Headmistress. And, um, about Animo...?
Myaxx: Detained in a cell for now. Xylene is working on a cure for this Sploot as we speak with the help of Blukic and Driba.
Gren: Any chance Grey Matter could lend them a hand? Four heads think better than three, and I'd like to help him recover from this condition.
Myaxx: You worry about school. We still don't know if he knew about you having the Omnitrix, so it is not exactly a safe idea.
[Gren nodded in agreement as Lucy knocked on the door. Myaxx allowed her to enter as she came in with Rex. Myaxx informed them about the temporary team formation.]
Lucy: WHAT ABOUT MLCH? THEY ARE LIKE A FAMILY TO ME.... 
Myaxx: You will still be assigned that team same with Kai with KARV, but this is for a special mission to ensure Gren and Rex are truly ready before teams are picked. They are the only two applicants this year with no combat skills.
Gren: Well, we already have sort of a good synergy so this should work well, right?
[Rex silently agreed as the new team was formed.]
