The trial and punishment of Dr. Animo
I do not own Ben 10
Note: since I don't live in America I don't know how the American court system works very well so I apologize if some of the stuff here are inaccurate
An armed convoy of police cars and a police van were pulling over in the parking lot of the supreme court of the United States of America. Inside the police van is an insane and dangerous criminal. His name: Dr. Animo; and he's about to trialed for his actions. The back doors of the van have been opened, exposing the notorious criminal to blinding sun light and to endless flashes that came from news reporters' cameras that were surrounding the truck. As the guards were pulling doctor Animo from the truck he was swamped by questions
"What do they want from you doctor Animo?"
"Are the accusations true, doctor Animo?'
"How about a statement doctor Animo?"
With rage taking control of his body doctor Animo turned around to face the reporters and yelled
"I'LL GIVE YOU A STATEMENT! I HATE BEN TENNYSON!"
"Come on you!" said one of the guards and turned doctor Animo around so he was facing the court house again. They kept pushing him until they reached the courthouse doors and he was placed in court room A for the trial to begin
Once he was seated in his booth and everyone else sat down they waited for the judge to come in. among the witnesses was a young man around the age of sixteen. His name: Ben Tennyson. He was one of doctor Animo's victims so he will be used as a witness. Two other people were with him. One of them was a pretty young lady known as Gwen Tennyson. Most people recognize her as Ben's cousin, which is true but she also recently became his girlfriend. The third person is Kevin Levin who is a friend of the cousins. Both will be used as Ben witnesses because they were with him the night he was attacked by doctor Animo.
After a few minutes of silence the bailiff said
"All rise!" and everyone got up from their seats to honor the judge who just came in
"You may sit" he said and everyone obeyed
He sat in his seat and looked at doctor Animo
"Doctor John Smith Animo, how do you plead?"
"For once we know his full name is" Ben whispered into his cousin's ear who merely smiled in return
"First of all I wish to be called doctor Animo; and to answer your question I plead innocent"
"Before we begin the trial I shall read the reasons of which you were brought here today: cause of mutation to innocent animals, disobeying the oath of Geneva which forbids doctors to misuse their authorities, attempt at damaging the Earth's climate, endangering the public and attempted murder of Mr. Ben Kirby Tennyson. Do you deny these accusations?"
"I deny everything" replied Animo
"Very well. Does the accused have any evidence to excuse himSELF from any of these crimes?"
"No but there is no evidence that I tried to kill Ben Tennyson either" sneered Animo
"Objection your honor!" yelled Ben's lawyer and got up from his seat
"Although Ben does not have hard evidence of the attempted murder his has two witnesses that were with him during the attack that could testify"
"Sustained" said the judge
"I would like to call to the stand Miss Gwendolyn Tennyson" said Ben's lawyer
Gwen rose from her seat and went to the front of the hall and walked over to the prosecutor. She placed her hand on the bible he was holding and he said
"Do you Miss Gwendolyn Tennyson swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?"
"I do" she said
"Now, tell us the events of the night Ben Tennyson was attacked"
"Well, me he and Kevin Levin went looking for doctor Animo to confront him for causing a rampage and…"
"Could you please describe to us was he doing on the rampage?" interrupted the prosecutor
"He was running around with a shotgun shooting people"
The record keeping guy was heard typing these words
"Very well. Please continue" said the prosecutor
"Well anyway my friend Kevin Levin was trying to stop Dr. Animo by punching him in the face and told him to give up and Animo refused. He then reached for his shotgun but Kevin was too quick for him and they started wrestling over it. Shortly afterwards a bullet was discharged and hit Ben in the stomach who was in the line of fire while trying to use his alien watch to transform into an alien so he could help with the fight. The thing is he was the only one who had the time to get a bullet proof vest and apparently it wasn't designed to withstand shot gun blasts, and the bullet penetrated the vest and entered his stomach which fatally injured him…" Gwen's voice was starting to shake when she remembered how she almost lost her cousin.
"Does the witness wish to call a short break?" asked the judge
"No I'm okay. But I would appreciate a glass of water of that's okay" said Gwen
"Very well" said the judge and he signaled one of the guards to get her a glass of water. Gwen remained silent until she drank her water which made her feel lightly better
"Is the witness ready to continue her testimony?" asked the judge
Gwen nodded
"Very well then. Now could you please tell us if you recall whose hand was on the trigger at the moment the bullet was discharged?" asked the prosecutor
"It was Animo's Kevin's finger wasn't close enough to the trigger for him to pull it"
"And could you tell us if it was Animo's pulling or Kevin's pushing that brought the rifle to the position in which the bullet has been fired?"
"It was Animo's pulling your honor" said Gwen
"Very well. Go on"
"So anyway after Ben has been shot Animo fled and Ben's was basically lying in his own blood. I kneeled down next him, and he was complaining about the pain. I lifted his head and hugged him while crying on his shoulder. He said I was hugging him too tightly so I loosened the hug a little bit. He told me he doesn't think he can hold on much longer and I told him to hang on a little longer because Kevin called an ambulance and they should be there any minute. He said he doesn't have that much time. I hugged him again and said I love him (more than just a cousin) and he said the same and I gave him a kiss on the cheek and on the lips and he became silent.
"Objection your honor!" Yelled Animo's lawyer
"Gwen's testimony might be effected by her love for her cousin"
"Overruled unless Kevin's testimony proves otherwise"
"Go on Gwen" said the judge
"Well anyway the reason he's alive now is because I have a spell book and I used a resurrection charm which was written in it to bring Ben back to life which is why he's alive now" said Gwen
"Is the witness finished giving her testimony?" asked the judge
"Yes" replied Gwen
"Very well. This court will analyze your testimony and continue the proceedings of this trail in one week. Thank you, court is adjourned" said the judge and wacked his hammer once and got up and so did the rest of the people in the hall and the judge walked out…
