Wrong Target

"I have to put down Kevin. He's out of control," Ben said.

He did not want to kill Kevin. He had to for the good of humanity. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. His cousin Gwen was upset. She didn't want Kevin to die. Ben feared she would try to stop Kevin herself. Kevin might kill her first. He entered a dark area. He had tracked Kevin there.

"Kevin!" he shouted. "Face me!"

"Come and get me," Kevin gloated. "Gwen already tried to. You'll fail, too."

Ben became enraged. He transformed into Jetray and fired his beams in the direction of Kevin's voice. He feared spotting Gwen's deceased form somewhere on the ground. He never got to say goodbye to her. "I HAVE TO STOP YOU, KEVIN!" His beams contacted someone in the darkness. He approached the motionless form. He gasped. "NO!"

"You need to work on your aim, Tennyson. I never said I killed Gwen. But you did," Kevin gloated.

Gwen was lying on the ground, dead. Jetray had shot her instead of Kevin in the darkness. He transformed back into his human form and kneeled over Gwen's body in grief. He sobbed uncontrollably.

"Don't worry, Ben, you'll be with her in a minute," Kevin said.

Ben didn't move. Kevin raised his fist...

The End!
