Winter Terror
Chapter 1: End Of Spring Break
Sadly, it was the end of Spring Break for poor Ben and Gwen Tennyson. They were both being driven home by their grandpa-Max Tennyson on the usual trailer from the amusement park that was on the last check mark of their list.
"Well, we did everything that you two wanted to do for this Spring Break" said Grandpa Max as he was at the wheel of the bus, "now it's time to bring you two home to go back to school."
"As if I'm going to enjoy going back to school" grumbled Ben.
"Same here" sighed Gwen.
"Ah, come on" said Grandpa Max, "you two should stay in school. Besides, there's nothing that would be able to stop me from heading there."
Suddenly it seemed there was a streak of ice right outside as both Ben and Gwen glared outside, Ben could see what seemed like an icy villain heading straight for the amusement park that they left.
"Now there's something you don't see everyday" said Gwen.
"If this icy guy wants a fight, it's time to meet Heatblast!" shouted Ben as he began to switch the aliens on his watch to Heatblast, but as he pressed the button to activate the Omnitrix, he instead turned into Stinkfly, "Stinkfly, I didn't want him. But I guess it'll have to do."
"Looks like we're heading back to that amusement park" sighed Grandpa Max.
"And the right excuse for me to get back into the action" said Ben as he then opened the door and leaped right out.
Ben then immediately flew to try to catch up to the unknown icy villain.
"What the heck, a giant bug?" said the unknown icy villain as he turned and noticed Ben.
"I'm not going to let you freeze that amusement park!" cried Ben.
"Look, I don't know what the heck you are" replied the icy villain, "but no body messes with Jack Frost!"
Jack then changes his course and heads straight toward Ben. Ben then begins to fire green goo at, to which Jack manages to dodge the attacks. He then grabs Ben and begins to try to freeze him in mid air.
"When I'm done with you, I'm going to make sure this pest goes crashing right down to the ground!" shouted Jack.
"That's what you think!" cried Ben.
Ben then immediately broke free of the ice that was trying to entrap him. He gave Jack a good kick which sent him off balance and right onto the ground. As Jack landed, the hot weather then began to work its way against him as he then noticed he was melting.
"Not again!" cried Jack as he noticed he was melting on the hot ground.
"Ha, this is too easy!" laughed Ben as he flew a little lower to the ground.
It seemed like Ben could get an easy victory by defeating Jack Frost in this situation. But before Ben could do it, the trailer which Grandpa Max was driving had arrived right up on the scene.
"Don't worry Ben, we're here to help you" said Grandpa Max as he and Gwen got out of the trailer.
"Ah, come on, this is an easy one, I can take him" said Ben to which he then turned around and noticed that Jack somehow had disappeared, "say, where did he go, maybe he melted. That's no fair, I wanted some fun."
"Well, at least that icy creep didn't get to the amusement park" said Gwen as she was then unenthusiastic of heading back to school, "come on, we have to get ready to go back to, er, school."
"Fine" sighed Ben as his Omnitrix then went into the red changing himself back into his human self.
Meanwhile, under the Earth, Jack Frost had managed to find a new way for himself to stay alive. Through being in his liquid water form as he went into the depths of the various underground water caverns. He then immediately regenerated his entire body once he reached the right sort of temperature he was seeking.
"I have never seen such a horrible creature like that" said Jack as he was pondering what went wrong, "if I'm ever going to have to have my way, I'm going to have to get rid of whoever is behind that creature."
Night soon then fell, as Grandpa Max pulled in for a small pit stop at a gas station, before sending Ben and Gwen back to their residences.
"Well, it was nice to see you two again" said Grandpa Max as he was about to get gas for his trailer at the pump.
"Well, it was too short" sighed Gwen who really didn't want to go back to school.
"I know what you mean about that" added Ben.
"So who the heck was that icy villain you fought?" asked Grandpa Max as he finally got the pump to work and began to get gas for the trailer.
"I'm not sure, he said his name was Jack Frost or something like that" replied Ben.
"Jack Frost, Father Winter is still at it?" asked Grandpa Max with astonishment, "This is Spring, and soon it'll be Summer. Not the sort of seasons which I would see someone like that around."
"So, do you think he might strike again?" asked Ben.
Ben, of course spoke too soon as inside the gas station, the manager was being held up by that same icy villain.
"Please, take anything you want, I want to live for tomorrow!" cried the manager.
"Just give me all of your ice, and also that ice machine I hear you make smoothies with" ordered Jack, "I got plans to make."
"You mean you don't want our money?" asked the manager.
"Just give me the smoothie making machine and all the ice you got, or I'm going to freeze this plan!" shouted Jack.
"Alright, alright" replied the scared manager as he then signaled his remaining employees.
But as that was going on, Grandpa Max wanted to get something inside the gas station for himself, as he left the pump still putting gas into the trailer. As he walked toward the station, he noticed the same icy villain, holding up the manager and some other of the station's employers. He then immediately raced back toward Ben who was still quite bored.
"Ben, you may want to go hero, I think you may have a score to settle with this Jack Frost" said Grandpa Max.
"Now we're talking" said Ben as he then began to search the right sort of aliens for him to choose.
