Ben eagerly took the hoverboard, looking over it with great interest. "This has to be the coolest thing ever. How do you get it to fly?"

[usedrapidspin]

Prepare yourself for the start of a technical explanation, Ben. Tails isn't that good at simplifying technical stuff even though he does try. But he also takes the board and turns it over so Ben can see the part he's explaining. So hopefully he'll get the gist which is that it uses an air tank for everything.

[omnitrixter]

Ben was able to follow along up until a point before everything flew over his head. However, he seized desperately upon the air tank.

"So it's kind of like air hockey only it's the puck shooting out air instead of the table?"

[usedrapidspin]

"You know, that's a pretty good way to think about it," Tails said. At least for someone who he could see had kind of gotten lost. "And the tank can be filled manually or by doing tricks, before the tanks empty."

[omnitrixter]

"As if you need a reason to do tricks on this thing," Ben said with a toothy grin. "How long do the tanks last?"

[usedrapidspin]

"Well no." Tails scratched the back of his head. "It depends on how often you accelerate. But usually a couple of miles at most."

[omnitrixter]

"How fast can it go?"

A few miles didn't seem like a long time if you were going fast.

Totally didn't just go race to check. >.>

[usedrapidspin]

"Well, I plan to keep working on it, but right now the top speed is about 250 miles per hour," Tails admitted. It was slower than he could fly, but more than double his best running speed at least though. "That's not a constant though and it usually stays closer to 120."

A few miles was sort of an understatement...provided the rider wasn't constantly expending the air on jumps and stuff. On a good day Tails could circle a race track without refueling if he didn't boost.

Sorry. XD

[omnitrixter]

Ben whistled. "We should race sometime."

Maybe it'd help him get a better idea of how fast he was going as XLR8 or Jetray.

No worries, it was needed. ^^

[usedrapidspin]

"I'd like that. It would be fun." It would also help him improve his technique. And it seemed like Ben was someone he could get along with. And that reminded him...

"So what are you going by here?"

[omnitrixter]

"Ben 10." Ben rolled his eyes. "I kinda blanked out on what to call myself. Cool names for all my aliens, but not me."

He paused.

"...Though the general public aren't going to be seeing me, so I guess it all works out."

[usedrapidspin]

"So, I'm guessing ten aliens then?" Not that he knew what Ben meant by his aliens. It could have meant pet aliens for all he knew. "But mine isn't really any more creative so I might change it. I'm the Two-Tailed Wonder."

[omnitrixter]

"Yeah. Name's kinda lame, but I'm stuck with it. Does anybody know you as Two-Tailed Wonder yet?" He then gave a little grin. "Besides me?"

[usedrapidspin]

"I don't see a problem with that. It's easy and explains that your power is ten." Scuffing his toe on the floor, Tails shrugged. "Only the Omegafriends so far."

[omnitrixter]

"Yeah, but nobody except the Omegafriends know it. Everybody else knows me as XLR8 or Diamondhead or Big Chill or one of the other seven guys in the watch," Ben stated.

[usedrapidspin]

"Good point." Couldn't really argue with that, and that response gave the answer for the unasked question. "So how do you transform?"

[omnitrixter]

"With this thing." Ben slid his left sleeve up to better shown his watch. "I pop up the dial, select the alien I want, and boom! Suddenly I'm one of ten aliens for five to fifteen minutes." He glared at the watch in annoyance. "It's kind of random that way."

[usedrapidspin]

"Sooo, it doesn't always do what you want it to timewise?"

Giving the watch a curious look, he stepped a little closer. It looked a lot like something from a toy store in a way, but not in that obviously cheap plastic toy way.

[omnitrixter]

"Actually, it doesn't do what I want it to period. Most of the time I don't even get the alien I selected," Ben admitted. "I found it in some space pod, so I'm thinking maybe it got damaged in the crash...or it just hates me."

[usedrapidspin]

"Maybe I can take a look at it for you.' He genuinely wanted to help, but the idea of looking over alien technology was really enticing.

[omnitrixter]

"Just be careful with it. This thing didn't come with a manual, and if you trigger a self-destruct mode, it doesn't come off. I kinda like having two hands, y'know?"

He held out his wrist for Tails's inspection.

[usedrapidspin]

"I'll be careful,' Tails promised, taking Ben's hand and turning it so he could see the gadget from every angle. He didn't press anything, but he did try to slip a finger under the "wristband" since Ben said it wasn't coming off.

"How did you get it on?"

[omnitrixter]

Tails would find no way to slide his finger underneath the band. The watch had seemingly fused itself to Ben's skin.

"I reached out towards it, and it hopped up and latched on to my wrist." Ben rubbed the back of his neck. "I'd just wanted to look at it."

By touching it. Fiddling with things was a bad habit of his.

[usedrapidspin]

"Oh..." That was a pretty scary mental picture and the fact that it did appear to have become a part of Ben didn't help in the slightest. Made the idea of fiddling with it slightly less appealing. Was it alive?

"Does it activate when anyone else tries to pick an alien, or just you?"

[omnitrixter]

"I dunno. I usually don't let people touch it. Transforming into a random alien would kinda blow my secret identity," Ben admitted.
