Author's Note: I am really, sorry. I am very sorry, for not posting recently. Now, I know I must be persistent and post as much as possible. Thank God for my Episode/Chapter List I made on my notebook. Now I can write with more organized and more efficiently, with the idea of what's the episode next. For now, I bid adieu and I hope….I HOPE. My story will please a lot of the new and old fans of the Ben 10 fandom. Go the Distance!
P.S.: This will be a remake of my other 'older version' of my other fan-fiction.
Ben sighed deeply as he put his elbow to the window, and his hair blew in the soft wind. Rook looked at Ben, his mouth beginning to form, trying to make a decent conversation. Ben, filled with boredom, made Rook change his mind, knowing it wasn't a good time. Rook looked back at the road, as the traffic of cars began to slow down the highway. Ben's impatience grew as the car only began to go slower and slower in the driveway.
"Aw man, what's the hold up now?" Ben said angrily crossing his arms.
Rook took a deep sigh and shook his head. "Patience Ben, we're almost there." He said in his usual soothing voice.
"I don't care, all I want is…-" An explosion interrupted Ben; he quickly looked outside his window. He squinted and saw another explosion towards a nearby building.
"…a smoothie…" Ben murmured to himself. "Rook, monitor the area, I'll…" Suddenly something else caught Ben's eye, he looked out the window.
It was a teenage girl. She had long black hair and she wore a white suit. She dashed pass the Proto-Truck and Ben watched the fifteen year-old girl in awe.
"Ben, she isn't from around here…" Rook commented. "What shall we do, Ben?" He asked.
"Follow her." He said as unbuckled his seat belt and opened the truck door. He quickly got out and ran in the same direction to her.
Rook shook his head and smiled. "Here we go again." He finished as he got out and followed Ben with his Proto-Tool at hand.
The young girl running and finally reached her destination. Her dark blue eyes studied the scene, she slowly smiled.
"Great, I knew this wouldn't take long." She said, still smiling.
She finished and quickly ran to the scene and made a stance at her enemy.
"Khyber, I suppose you found your ultimate prey." She began, looking at him carefully.
"I have, Princess." Khyber replied as he pulled out his sword. "Now, I suppose you're not running away, like before. Now, are we?" Khyber directed his sword at her direction.
"I'm not a coward, Huntsman. Do your worst." She summoned blue fire on her right arm.
"Let's dance." He finished and ran towards the girl. She quickly dodged and blasted at Khyber. Khyber turned around and swung at her. She walked back and with her right hand stopped the sword from hitting her.
"Lets see what happens when your sword is on fire." She said and burned Khyber's hand.
He quickly reacted and pulled away his hand. She quickly grabbed it and pointed it at him. Khyber began to chuckle at her act and kicked away the sword from her hands. Her eyes widened and dodged at Khyber's swing. Khyber continuously swung at her, until her omnitrix began to discharge. Her suit disappeared and changed her back to her normal clothes.
"I suppose my 'ultimate' prey is losing time." Khyber remarked and kicked her in the stomach.
She hit to the nearest building, dust surrounded her. She quickly got back up on her feet and dashed towards Khyber. He pulled out a taser gun and shocked her. She fell to the floor and struggled to get up.
"You lose, Princess." Khyber said as he kneeled down towards her, to pick her up.
"Not so fast." A voice said in the background.
Khyber turned quickly and looked at his opponent from the distance; it was Ben Tennyson and his partner Rook. Khyber stood with a smirk.
"I suppose today's my lucky day. I have the Ben Tennyson and her majesty right here." Khyber finished with a chuckle.
Ben leaned his head to the side, noticing the girl's escape. "I guess not." He said smiling.
Khyber turned and noticed also, knowing it was too late to retrieve her back. He looked at Ben, knowing this was his big chance to regain revenge at his ultimate foe.
"It doesn't matter anymore, Tennyson." He said while picking up his sword from the ground. He examined it carefully and looked at Ben.
"Lets not waste time, now shall we?" He pointed it at Ben and quickly grabbed his arm and cornered him down on the floor. Ben looked up, struggling to break free.
"I've gotten stronger, Tennyson." Khyber said, holding him down.
"However, you have forgotten about me." Rook said as he swung at Khyber's face.
Khyber let Ben go and walked backwards as Rook kept attacking Khyber. Ben got up and looked at his Omnitrix. He activated it and scrolled through the aliens and found the correct one. He slammed his hand down on it and transformed.
"Huuuuuuuuuuumongosauuuuuuuuur!" Ben called out.
Khyber chuckled and fought Ben without his sword. Khyber swung at Ben and Ben hit back and continued in sync. Rook looked at the direction the girl ran at, hoping she stood there to watch. He pulled out his locator and tried to locate her as Ben fought Khyber. His locator found nothing at their range and sighed in disappointment.
"Um…Rook!" Ben called out as he blocked one of Khyber's punches. "A little help?" Ben asked as he turned back to normal human form.
"Of course." Rook replied as he put away his locator and went into the fighting scene. He fought back with his Proto-Tool.
"Odd…" Ben said as he tried to transform into another alien with his Omnitrix. "…Why did it time out so quickly?" Ben then murmured to himself.
Ben looked back at Rook, almost defeating Khyber when, suddenly Khyber made a back flip and ran away out of the fight scene. Rook pushed a button on his Proto-Tool and tried to lasso back Khyber but then he threw back an explosive.
Ben and Rook looked at it as it quickly beeped in warning. They quickly ran back towards the Proto-Truck and hid inside as the explosive exploded. The smoke cleared and Khyber was gone. Ben took a deep breath and leaned back onto his seat.
"That was very weird, Rook." Ben began.
"What do you mean, Ben?" Rook asked curiously.
"Well, the Omnitrix timed out as quicker as usual and…it's still recharging." Ben explained as he showed Rook the red signal his Omnitrix had.
"I suppose it was a reaction while you were fighting Khyber." Rook guessed.
"Probably, but what is bothering more…who was that girl?" Ben said as he scratched his head.
"She was rather mysterious…" Rook commented.
"I know…pretty too." Ben said with a smirk.
"I guess, she caught your eye, as the earthlings said it?" Rook said smiling.
"More than that, she stole it." Ben said with a swoon.
Rook chuckled at Ben's reply. "Maybe we should start finding out on who she is, first." He said as he researched on his touch screen.
"I hope she's okay…" Ben says as he looks out the window and Rook begins to drive off to Plumbers Headquarters.
"Hmmm…" Max Tennyson moaned in reply as he finished hearing their story. He kept on stirring his mysterious concoction in the pot.
"So may you know of this 'mysterious girl'?" Rook asked Max.
Max pulled out the spoon he used for stirring the soup. He served himself a spoon full, sniffed the spoon and took a sip from it. He savored the sample and nodded.
"Needs more spices." He murmured to himself.
"Grandpaaa…" Ben whined, trying to get his attention.
"Well, I don't know of this girl, try looking on the M.W. Files." Max replied.
"Will do, Magister Tennyson." Rook saluted and walked away from the kitchen.
"You too Ben, go with Rook. I won't be any use in this situation." Max commanded.
"Alright, Grandpa." Ben said as he followed Rook to the control room.
"Good. I've lost them." The girl said with relief. She looked around as she walked in deeper into Bellwood. She began to see the deserted side of Bellwood. She saw many warehouses at her left and her right. She walked with caution, hoping not to be caught by Khyber.
"Going so soon?" Khyber asks.
Chills ran down the girls' spine and she turned around with fear, her heart began to skip beat. She began to walk back slowly as Khyber walked towards her at same pace.
"Oh…did I frighten you?" Khyber asks her with a smirk.
She turned to her omnitrix and it still flashed a red light, meaning it was still recharging. She quickly looked back at Khyber.
"Great…" She murmured and then began to run as fast as she could.
"Good, I'd love a good chase." Khyber said as he followed her deeper into the abandoned street.
"Got anything on her?" Ben asked as he looked at the main screen.
Rook scrolled down the screen and showed Ben her profile picture and her files. "It says her name is Roxanne Solestia McCloud. She is next in line to be in throne of the Milky Way. However, on this Plumber update file, says that she was pronounced dead by unknown causes. She was only 13 when this happened." Rook explained.
"What's that?" Ben pointed at a hidden file in the screen.
"I haven't seen that one yet…" Rook said and clicked on it.
They scrolled and read, Rook and Ben's eyes widened. "This is her childhood file. She was banished at the age of 5 years old. For…" Rook trailed off.
"Murder of King Isaac and Queen Alexandra." Ben said off one of the newspaper tabs.
Rook sighed as Ben read the article on. He then noticed something else on the article.
"Ben, is that, Azmuth?" Rook pointed at the background in the photo where the court was placed.
"So, the Galvans banished her?" Ben concluded.
"Yes, they did." Rook replied.
"Daw, tired already? Come on, we're just get getting started." Khyber called out as she hid inside one of the abandoned warehouses.
She breathed deeply and looked out the window and looked back at her omnitrix. "Come on, come on. Work already!" She whispered to herself.
Her omnitrix flashed a blue light, meaning it was charged. "Yes!" She said as she whispered her command.
"Princess, I think I've…" Khyber trailed off and blasted the warehouse open. "…found ya'." He finished.
Silence filled the warehouse. Khyber looked around, trying to find her. "Aww, come on. I don't bite…" He said as he walked around and looked around, slowly.
She cut out the lights and closed the door quickly. Khyber turned around and she hid behind one of the crates.
"Come out McCloud or else I'll count down." Khyber began to threaten.
"Five…"He began.
"Rook, this is horrible." Ben sad, shaking his head in disappointment.
"I know, even at such a young age…", Rook replied.
"Tennyson, Blonko. Assistance needed at these coordinates." One of the plumbers said through the speaker and at the screen showed up the coordinates.
"Let's roll, Rook." Ben said as he dashed towards the Proto-Truck.
"But Ben, how can we 'roll' if we walk?" Rook asked in confusion.
"Just get in the car." Ben said as he got in the truck.
"Three…two…one. Times' up, Princess." Khyber finished.
She came out of the crate and electrified Khyber and quickly jumped away. Khyber screamed in pain. She finished electrifying him and saw him thud on the ground. She slowly backed away and began to run out of the warehouse.
She ran as quickly as possible. She looked back and saw Khyber slowly creeping out of the warehouse. Her heart thudded faster and faster. Her steps quickened as if almost she flew out of the scene.
"Oh man, I've done it this time." She said to herself.
She then tripped over a metal rod and fell to the floor. She huffed and looked back. Khyber slowly reached towards her. She tried to get up with all her might, but she was weak. Many times she struggled to get up but she slumped back down. She barely managed to walk a few steps.
Khyber stopped walking and aimed at her with a blaster gun. "Bull's eye." He finished as he shot.
She turned slowly and the blast hit her on her side. She fell on the ground unconscious.
Khyber chuckled and dashed towards her. He stood there as she transformed back to normal. He kneeled down. "You thought you could out-run me, fool." He said and grabbed her by her jacket. "Now, to take you back to your place." Khyber began to walk away.
"Not so fast." Ben said, stopping Khyber.
"Khyber." Rook finished.
"Let her go, now." Ben demanded.
"Well, well. I'll kill two birds with one stone, today. Here Ben Tennyson, and I have her majesty Roxanne McCloud at hand. This is my lucky day." Khyber said and chuckled as multiple aliens came to aid.
"This is the end, Tennyson." Khyber finished.
