No I in Team (Gren)

No I in Team is the fourth episode of Gren 10 (CYOA).

## Plot

[Gren woke up in his dorm room. Today was the day teams would be made. All first years were to report to the teleport bay for transport to the training course on Aranhaschimmia. Gren rushed to the teleporter, brimming with excitement. All the first year students were there, Kevin, Octavia, Rex, Cash, JT, Argit, Joey, and a few others just to name a few. Gren saw new faces that he doesn't recall seeing on the first day. Discreetly, Gren approached the students he didn’t recognize in an attempt to identify them. The ones he can saw were a human, a Piciss Volann, a Pyronite, and a Necrofriggian. Gren decided to approach them and introduce himself, since the training hasn’t started yet. He met Atlan Neplay, Crock Frostfly, Dani Fozzul, and Ezekettle Egnite. After the small talk, Gren heads closer to the teleporter to try and get a clearer view of what's going to happen..]

Gren:I can't wait for this!

[Everyone was soon transported to the planet mentioned, were Cash boasted about having a homefield advantage. ]

Myaxx: Your goal is simple. Land into the forest of this planet to venture in and retrive the artifacts in the center. The first person you make eye contact with is your partner for your entire career at this Academy. Is that understood?

[Joey raises her hand]

Joey: What exactly do you mean by landing? How will that be done exactly?

Myaxx: Yes.

Gren: What is it with this academy and dropping people from the sky with no parachute?

[All of them were then shot into the sky by the platform they were standing on before anyone else could complain or answer about that. Several screams were heard. Kevin disappeared into the treeline below, Octavia made a magical platform to catch her fall. The human girl Gren met a bit eariler splatted to the floor reforming similar to Lucy and Tarpit. The Necrogrggian flew downwards, the Pyronite blasted fire to ease his fall. The Volann clawed up a tree to slow his fall. JT flew, Cash swung around, Argit and Joey are caught by a web from Cash. That left Rex and Gren as the only two notable characters still freefalling. Rex had learned from last week and came prepared with a block that he threw that transformed into a cushion catching him. Gren pulled the same trick as before, turning into Tarpit to catch his fall. He landed on Kevin, by sheer accident as Kevin yelled.]

Kevin: WHAT THE FUCK?!

[Tarpit tried to play dead and make Kevin think it was something else that hit him. Kevin noticed the teal Omnitrix on Gren and connected the dots.]

Kevin: Noooo... nooo... nooo... THIS WAS NOT THE PLAN. I was suppsoed to find Argit first, not you! How are you even? FUCK. GREN YOU FUCKING CUNT!

Tarpit: How am I even? Long story, but to shorten it, it's basically your fault and also put a lot of people in danger. Besides, they catapulted us into the sky, there's only so much you can 'plan’. And believe me, I wasn't exactly aiming to hit you, either.

[Tarpit said as he reformed his body into his default Tarpit form to confront Kevin. ]

Kevin: That doesn't make you any less of a cunt. GOD FUCKING DAMN IT. Let's go!

Gren: This is going to be a long day..

[Gren said as he advanced through the woods, shapeshifting back to his human guise.]

Kevin: Tell me about it…

[The two of them ventured out into the planet finding a stash of cash most likely setup as a test or bait .]

Kevin: Sweet! Argit is going to be mad he missed out.

[Seeing this, Gren decided to use his current form to change into Myaxx, using the tendril arms to wrap around Kevin to prevent him from touching the stash.]

Tarpit: Dude, what's wrong with you?

Kevin: It's called survival of the fittest now fuck off.

Tarpit: More like survival of the greediest? Besides, don't you think there's a small chance this could be a trap?

[Tarpit shifted from Myaxx back to his Gren form. Kevin angrily shoved Tarpit to the floor before storming off.]

Kevin: Fuck off. I'm outta here. I'm finding Argit. Go bug someone else.

[Tarpit changed back to human.]

Gren: Fine by me - though I'm sure you heard the Headmistress' instructions, you're supposed to join the first person you find, I don't mind pretending that was Tarpit, not me. ..you can't tell anyone about that, by the way.

[Kevin flipped him off before disappearing into the forest. Gren headed in the opposite direction from him.]

Gren: Probably better off without him.

[Venturing in as the time passed, Gren felt a trembling feeling below him. Something was coming up from the ground. Gren checked the charge of the Omnitrix as a Root Shark popped out of the ground.Gren slammed the watch down transforming himself into Shocksquatch. Shcoksquatch sent out an electric beam which made quick work of the beast as it was conducted throughout its body. The electric beam did catch someone else’s attention, Kevin’s.]

Kevin: IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THIS FUCKING JUNGLE? COME ON!

Shocksquatch: Probably, but they must be paired already. Like it or not, we might have to stick together, Kev.

Kevin: No, fuck off.

[He shoved Shocksquatch’s chest accidentally touching the Omnitrix as Teal energy sparked from it and went directly into Kevin who screamed.]

Shocksquatch: What's wrong with you? I've been trying to befriend and help you since the first day, and you literally only got me in trouble and treated me with hostility. Would it hurt to be a little nice? I don't even mind if you wanna team up with the possum, but come on... Kevin? Are you alright?

[Kevin's body began to mutate. Getting hairier and hairier. Until finally, he was fully mutated into a Shocksquatch looking thing, only taller, lankier, and pink. Shocksquatch was too perplexed to say anything, just staring in... ahem, shock, at Kevin's condition. Kevin looked at himself angrily.]

Kevin: I knew you were bad luck.. Just like your fucking grandfather was to my dad..

[Kevin threw a punch at Shocksquatch.]

Shocksquatch: Me? You're the reason I have this thing, and I didn't tell you to touch it either.

[Shocksqatch replied as he attempted to hold Kevin's fist and counter with a shockwave to send him away. Kevin was able to physically grab the shockwave and redirect it at Shocksquatch sending him back instead]

Kevin: Levin's and Grenfell's can never get along. This is over. I'm making a room change request when we get back. If I even can go back looking like this

[Kevin ran off into the forest.Shocksquatch attempted to chase after him.]

Shocksquatch: Kevin, wait! Let me try to help you!

[Kevin was using his powers to deforest trees as obstacles for Shocksquatch. After a few minutes of the chase, Shocksquatch timde out, which let Kevin get away.]

Gren: Dang it. Well, I'm sure he'll be back to normal... eventually. I should probably start looking for someone else to partner with.

[Gren heard screams in the direction Kevin went. Gren ran towards hoping to find Kevin. Gren found an unconscious Argit and Joey as Rex and Octavia ran up. ]

Octavia: We heard screaming and came running over.

Rex: Don't have a partner yet, Gren?

Gren: One that doesn't want me as his partner, not sure if that counts or not. What do you think knocked them out?

[Gren asked already well-aware of the answer but not able to tell them. Rex examined the unconscious bodies.]

Rex: Electrical shocks. Strange nothing native to this planet does that.

Gren: That's... interesting. Do you think it could've been another student? There are a few that have electric powers if I'm not mistaken.. Not jumping to conclusions here, but…

Octavia: JT, I recall is the only with Electric abilities, still this isn't his MO. He seems chummy with these two before the incident.

Rex: Head that way. There are some knocked down trees. maybe it's an added test we weren't told about.

[Gren nodded and ran ahead in the direction pointed out by Rex, discreetly activating the Omnitrix and scrolling through the aliens as he did. Gren soon found a temple that had the artifacts in place. Kevin was looking them over. They seemed to be Earth Chess pieces. Gren cautiously approached, readying the Omnitrix.]

Gren: Kevin, I know this must feel very weird, but I can try to help you. You just need to calm down. Please, let me help. We can start over. No words came from Kevin just animalistic rage as he smacked Gren away accidentally making the Omnitrix go off, changing Gren into Ripjaws in front of Octavia and Rex. Rex's eyes glow up connecting the dots from the last two adventures with Gren.]

Ripjaws: I... uh, it's a long story. Think you guys can help me help him?

Rex: No, I'm not really a combat guy, remember?

Octavia: I can cover you with some long range firepower.

[Kevin began screaming in pain again as his body started to mutate again. His body growing bigger and scarier, the hair falling off his new skull like face, he roared. Ripjaws rushed to attack Kevin, though trying more to restrain him than actually hurt him.]

Ripjaws: Listen, Kevin, I know this probably doesn't feel good, but if you calm down a little we can help you, you just need to cooperate.

[Kevin was struggling to respond. He used his powers to take the moisture from Ripjaws’s skin to make a hard water knife before stabbing him with it]

Ripjaws:...Hey, I... can't... do that!

[Ripjaws said as he struggled from the dehydration, before attempting to kick Kevin away with both feet so he can get himself together.]

Ripjaws: Could I get... some help, V?

Octavia: Pluvia!

[She summoned a rainstorm to keep Ripjaws hydrated, but this does allow Kevin more ammo to use against him. Ripjaws got up and attempted to get another hit in, this time a more direct one.]

Ripjaws: Any ideas on how to get him back to normal, Rex?

Rex: Well how did this happen to begin with?

[Kevin's bigger size allowed him take the hits while they discussed plans.]

Ripjaws: Kevin has this... mutant power, he describes it as an energy sponge. When he touched the Omnitrix - uh, the watch that turns me into the aliens - he must have absorbed the energy from the device, leading to him transforming as well.

Rex: He must have stored up too much energy, causing him to overload.

Octavia:So we have to wear him out?

Ripjaws:Yeah, because that'll be so easy.

[Ripjaws said as he used his tail as a whip to knock Kevin back to avoid being stabbed again . Something worse happens as Kevin pushed the water of Ripjaws’s respirator out making him lose 94% of his water, now he was relying solely on the rain V summoned. V summoed restraints on Kevin holding him back.]

Rex: If he is like you, that means he must have your weaknesses as well, right?

Octavia: Well then, I am sorry for this Gren, but it's the only way I can see this stopping. Tonitruum!

[A Thunderstorm started up creating harder rain and strong winds.]

Ripjaws: You're right... unfortunately.

[Both Ripjaws and Kevin were struck by lightning as they were close to each other. The hit caused Ripjaws to time out and Kevin finally returned to normal. Both of them were weak from the fighting as Octavia cleared up the skies.]

Kevin: That.... That was not a good trip..

Gren: Well, at least it's over now...Thanks for the help, you guys. Are you okay, Kevin?

Kevin: What the fuck happened? last I remember was shoving you when you were that yeti.... fuck my head hurts.

Gren: It's, uh, a bit of a long story... but for future reference, you probably shouldn't touch the watch, or the aliens.

Kevin: Noted. Let's.... go home...

[He took the black bishop piece while Rex grabbed the white one. Later, after being examined by Xylene all of the first year students are awaiting the team ceremony to start in the auditorium. First Years in the front the other students were in the back.]

Gren: This is so exciting! Kind of rewarding, even, after all that happened today.

Myaxx:Dani Fozzul, Crock Frostfly, Atlan Neplay, Ezkettle Egnite. Team NECD led by Mr.Neplay. JT Tezla, Cash Monke, Argit Quil, Josephine Reeds. Team TRAC led by JT. Kevin Levin, Octavia Arthurs, Rex Davenport, Caio Grenfell. Team GOLD led by Caio Grenfell.

[Lucy screamed her lungs out at Gren’s leadership role and Kai clapped louder. With that, the rooms changed and now instead of 10 and 11, the unit is now 9-12. Octavia took Room 9 and Rex took 12. Later that night as everyone was sleeping, Kevin was in his room looking at his hand as it burst into flames.

Kevin:.....
