Here's a story requested by Redbat312! Enjoy and no flames please!
Ben arrived at the Grant Mansion after a long day being a hero. The mansion was his favorite vacation spot when the job wears him down.
The teen took in the gorgeous sunset as he went to the door and opened it. It was always unlocked for Ben.
"Guys?" Ben called out.
No response.
"Guys?" Ben walked further into the mansion and spotted Whampire and Sasha sitting on the couch, staring at each other in the face.
All of a sudden, Sasha collapsed.
"WHOA!" Ben yelped. "Sasha!"
"Its okay, Ben." Whampire said. He pressed a button on his stop watch and picked Sasha up. "We were just playing hypno-stare."
"Hypno-stare?" Ben said confused.
Whampire nodded. "Yes, it's a game Sasha and I like to play. I hypnotize Sasha to see how long she can stay awake before she falls asleep. So far, she can only last twenty seconds!" He chuckled before snapping his fingers in front of Sasha's face. She woke up and shook her head.
"Ohhhh...how long, Whammy?"
Whampire checked the timer. "Thirteen seconds."
Sasha sighed. "I'm never gonna beat my record."
"I bet I can beat thirty seconds for sure!" Ben said, pointing a thumb into his chest.
"Actions speak louder than words, Tennyson." Whampire grinned. "Have a seat."
Ben sat in front of Whampire. Sasha held the stop watch in he returned hand. "Are you sure about this, Ben?" Sasha asked, concerned. "Whampire's hypnosis is tough to resist."
"Nothing's tough enough for Ben Tennyson." Ben looked directly into Whampire's eyes. "Do your stuff, Fang face."
"Okay, you've been warned." Whampire's eyes swirled and Sasha started timing. "Look into my eyes..."
Feeling confident, Ben looked directly into Whampire's eyes. He started to feel a little dizzy gazing into those swirls, but he was still conscious.
"You are getting sleepy...very sleepy..."
As he mesmerized Ben, the hypnotic swirls echoed in Ben's eyes.
"Listen to only the sound of my voice...your eyelids are getting heavy...you're falling into a deep sleep..." Whampire whispered voice was alluring and haunting. It made Ben even sleepier. His head dropped a little, but he picked it up and kept awake.
Sasha was amazed by Ben's will. She kept timing, he was close to beating her record.
Wildmutt came into then living room. He saw Sasha, Whampire and...Ben! Excitement overtaking him, the alien dog charged in and jumped in between Ben and Whampire.
"AAAAH!" Whampire and Ben felt a painful surge pulse through their minds. They both fell backward, unconscious.
"BEN! WHAMMY!" Sasha rushed to Whampire while Wildmutt went to Ben.
"Whammy! What happened?!" Sasha asked as Whampire came to. The Vladat groaned, rubbing his sore head.
"Well, I was in the middle of hypnotizing Ben until someone interrupted me!" Whampire glared at Wildmutt.
Wildmutt whimpered shamefully. Then he gently licked Ben's face to awaken him.
"Ohhhhh..." Ben grumbled, his head felt like it was pounded with a sledge hammer. He didn't awaken
Sasha rushed right to the hero. "Ben! Are you okay?!"
Ben didn't respond. He stayed unconscious.
Wildmutt howled in sadness. Ben could be hurt and it was all the Vulpimancer's fault.
Whampire picked up Ben. "I'll take him upstairs."
The next morning, Ben woke up. He turned to his side and groaned. He got up and when he went up to the window to pull back the curtains.
But when the warm sunlight touched him, Ben hissed and ran backwards from the light.
There was a knock at the door, it opened and Rachel came in with a bowl of warm oatmeal. "Hey, Ben! Are you okay-?"
Ben hissed and cared his teeth out at Rachel. The girl was so shocked, she dropped the oatmeal. Ben charged toward her and took a great big leap, then he fell onto the floor.
Rachel ran out of the room and slammed the door shut, she rushed to tell the others.
Ben snarled as he staggered up. "Why can't I fly?!" He spoke in the same accented voice as Whampire.
"There's definitely something wrong with him!" Rachel said. She brought Whampire, Frankenstrike, and Wildmutt with her as backup. "Brace yourselves."
They warily opened the door and their jaws hit the floor.
Ben was dressed in black tuxedo with green markings on his suit that are slightly similar to Whampire's, black tuxedo pants, and black tuxedo shoes with green heels. He wore a long, black batwing shaped cape black with green lining. His cape was held together by an Omnitrix button symbol. He also wore a black top hat with a green ribbon around it, plain white gloves and carried a black cane with green bat wings on the handle.
Ben was swinging what looked like a pocket watch in front of Sasha's face. Rachel recognized that watch. It was the magic hypnosis watch Sasha found in the attic!
"B-Ben?!" Rachel gasped. "Is that you?!"
Ben sniffed and tucked the watch in his coat pocket. "Do not speak to me in such a manner, human." He talked just like a vampire! He looked like a vampire! Just what happened to him?!
Ben turned his attention to Sasha. You will obey my every command!"
"Yes, Master..." Sasha mumbled. She was now hypnotized.
"You hypnotized Sasha!" Rachel was outraged. "Ben! How could you?!"
Just as Rachel went upnto confront him, Ben spun the watch in a huge circle.
"Don't look!" Whampire shouted. He, Frankenstrike, and Wildmutt covered their eyes.
But it was too late for Rachel. Ben laughed as he beckoned Rachel to come to him. "Bow down before your master!"
Rachel and Sasha obediently bowed before Ben.
"This is bad!" Whampire said. "We've got to stop him!"
"Try anything and these lovely ladies will meet their end!" Ben threatened. But Whampire charged and tackled Ben to the floor. Then pinched a nerve on his shoulder, knocking him out cold.
"I don't get it! What happened to him?!" Frankenstrike waved a hand in Sasha's face. She was still hypnotized. "And how are we suppose to snap the girls out of this trance?!"
"Heeheeheeheeheeahahahahahahahaha!"
Frankenstrike looked over and saw Wildmutt licking Rachel's face. "Wildmutt! That tickles!" Rachel laughed.
Seeing his friend cured, Frankenstrike tickled Sasha smack dab in her tummy.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! STOP! NOHOHOHO! NOT THEHEHEHEHERE!" Sasha was herself again.
Frankenstrike chuckled and scooped up Sasha. "Well, these two are alright. Now that just leaves Ben. What happened to him?!"
Whampire pondered. "It must be when we played Hypno-stare last night. I was mesmerizing Ben until Wildmutt interrupted me! Perhaps when that happened, a part of my mind must have been imprinted on Ben's."
"What?! There's no way you were so cruel, Whammy-kins!" Sasha leaped out of Frankenstrike's arms and hugged her beloved Whampire.
"I think he picked up Whampire's scary vampire act!" Rachel said.
Sasha blinked. "Oh. So, what do we do?! We can't have Ben like this forever!"
"We'll take him to my lab, that's what we'll do." said Frankenstrike.
In Frankenstrike's lab, Ben was still unconscious as he was strapped down to a medical table while Whampire was strapped to the table next to him. On their heads were helmets that were hooked to a large machine with a screen.
Frankenstrike read the diagnosis on the screen and pressed several buttons. "Just a few adjustments here and there...Whampire, you ready?"
Whampire gave a thumbs up. "Ready!"
Frankenstrike pulled a switch and the machine was activated. The helmets buzzed with electricity. Ben and Whampire felt their brains growing hit from the machine's power.
After several anxious minutes, Frankenstrike switched off the machine. Rachel and Sasha rushed to Ben.
Ben opened his eyes. Good, he was conscious. But was he any better?
"Guys? What happened?" Ben groaned. "Huh?! Why am I stuck to a torture table?! And what am I wearing?!"
"Ben! You're back!" Rachel hugged Ben and kissed his forehead.
"Back? Back from where?!"
"We'll explain later." Rachel said. "But first..." She lifted up Ben's shirt.
"Oh, no! No! Don't tickle!"
But it was too late. Rachel skittered her fingernails all over Ben's stomach. "Tickle, tickle, tickle! Tickle, tickle!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ben laughed.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WHY ARE YOU TICKLING ME TOOHOOHOOHOO?!" Whampire screamed while laughing.
Sasha giggled as se tickled' Whampire's tummy. "I just thought you need a good laugh, babe."
Frankenstrike smiled as he watched the girls tickle their friends silly. He sighed in relief. "Yep, everything's back to normal."
