A/N: Hey, this is only my second Ben 10 AF fic. This can be seen as an add on to 'War Of The Worlds' if you want.

Warning: CHARACTER DEATH

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, only the idea.


"KEVIN!"

Seeing the taller boys form slump toward the ground Gwen rushed toward him. "Filthy, impure scum," Scoffed the Highbreed that threw Kevin across the room walking toward him intending to finish what he started. "Get. Away. From him." The half Anodite's eyes began to glow a bright pink as she shot energy beam out toward the Highbreed, tightening her grip on him she began to lift the alien from the floor. The Highbreed began choking but Gwen focused on destroying the Highbreed, hurting him like it had hurt Kevin. Letting her rage overwhelm her she felt her true Anodite form begin to shine through her human exterior. "Gwen, don't," Rasped the boy laying on the ground.

Gwen dropped the Highbreed to the floor who muttered something about 'human filth' before running away. "I thought I was going to lose you again. Can't have you changing on me, can I?" Kevin said, looking up into Gwen's tear filled eyes. Coughing, Kevin turned away from the girl, grimacing when he saw the blood in his hand, "Oops. Guess this is it." Another fit of coughing seized him and the red-headed teen was feeling more and more helpless with each cough.

"Kevin, no. Please!" She cried, gathering the other teen in her arms choking back tears. Lifting his hand to caress her face he winced at the pain the simple action caused him. "Don't go saying goodbye yet. I'm okay, see? I'm not going anywhere." Trying to get up, Kevin cried out in pain falling back into Gwen's arms. Dropping his head so he couldn't see the tears falling she whispered, "Don't lie to me." Lifting her head so their eyes met he stared at her, "Gwen..."

"Liar," she spat, pulling her chin out of his grasp. She tried to be angry with him, with his stupid over-protective nature. She should be the one on the floor right now, not him. As if sensing her line of thought Kevin interrupted her thoughts, "Don't even think it. Gwen, I won't let you get hurt...I can't..." Turning to face him, she yelled, tears streaming down her face, "You do though. You are right now! Why do you have to always get hurt? Why?.." Her sentence trailed toward the end.

She couldn't be angry with him, she loved him. She always had, why was she only just realizing this now? "It's a little chilly in here..." He said, trying to break the silence that was surrounding them. "Kevin, no. Don't you even..." "Relax, I'll be fine, okay?" He interrupted looking into her dark, green eyes, trying to reassure her. "No.. You won't." She whispered. She was right. He was losing a lot of blood from the large gash in his side and had a few cracked, if not broken, ribs. Sighing, he accepted what she said as the truth. "No. I won't, but you will. That's all that matters..." His eyes began to close, he didn't have the strength to tell her how she felt. "Kevin? Kevin.. KEVIN!"

His head fell in her arms and he suddenly became much heavier. Letting the tears fall freely, the darkness surrounded her.
