A/N: There are serious spoilers for "Vendetta" in here. You've been warned. Thank's for taking the time to read this.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'Ben 10 Alien Force'. If I did, Gwen and Kevin would have gotton together a long time ago.
The trio appeared on Ragnarok's ship, the cold hum of the engines and dark surroundings put the three teens on edge. Taking a glance toward their surrounding Kevin turned to the other teens, "We'll split up and search. You go port, I'll go starboard."
"Hey! Who died and made you boss?" Yelled Ben. "If you got a problem with it you" Kevin yelled back poking the shorter teen in the chest, "We can cover more ground that way."
"Come on Ben," Gwen pulled Ben's arm and began to walk in the opposite direction to Kevin's retreating form. "He's going through a lot, Ben. He idolizes his father - and we have to find Ragnorok before Kevin does. I'm afraid of what he might do."
Kevin searched another corridor of the ship, looking for the escape pods he knew had to be around somewhere. Turning another corner he stopped. "Bingo!"
Pulling the access panel off from the side of the first pod he programmed and escape route quickly, wondering how he would fool Ben and Gwen into leaving. Making sure that the escape pod was set to auto-pilot he replaced the panel and ran back towards the other two.
"Kevin? Come on. He talks all tough, but he would never..." Trailed Ben, worrying what Kevin would do if they let him find Ragnorok first. "Guys. Come on. This way!" Called Kevin, running back the way he just came. "Quick in here!" Gesturing toward the escape pod, the two younger teens ran into it.
Kevin quickly hit the door button, sealing Ben and Gwen in. "Kevin, come on let us out!" Called Ben throwing himself against the door, "Where are we?" he asked turning to his cousin. "It's an escape pod," Sighed Gwen, this is what she was afraid he would do, "It's on auto-pilot straight back to Earth. There's no controls to stop it."
"I'm sorry, but this is my fight. I told you to stay out of it." Kevin looked at Gwen, "I can't risk you getting hurt." "What? Wait Kevin!" Pounding against the glass Gwen, "Let us out. Kevin, KEVIN!"
Suddenly, there was movement and both Ben and Gwen were thrown to the floor as the shuttle began to take the two back to Earth. With tears in her eyes, Gwen watched as the larger ship began to shrink into the distance behind her reflection.
Walking over to his cousin, Ben placed a hand on her shoulder, "There's nothing we can do. Come on." Ben tried to move her away form the window but Gwen pulled her shoulder out of his grasp. "We can't just leave him there. What if he gets hurt? What if he... he... dies?" She finally choked out.
Turning toward Ben she grabbed his jacket while he held her as her sobs shook her entire body. Feeling her tears wet into his shirt he pulled back far enough to see her face. "We'll save him, I promise." Gwen nodded, wiping her face she looked at him. She didn't know how, but somehow she knew that they would get Kevin back.
"RAGNOROK! WHERE ARE YOU!" Yelled Kevin, "There's no where you can hide from me!" The taller alien turned to face Kevin and smirked, "I'm about to extinguish your sun, Levin. Your world will die.
We will not meet again." "I wouldn't be so sure of that if I were you," Kevin charged toward Ragnorok, morphing his fists into a hammer and a spiked mallet, swinging them at the alien.
Ragnorok dodged each of Kevin's attacks and began to blast energy beams at him. "You're not so tough without you're little friends," He gloated after striking Kevin in the chest and throwing him to the wall. "The brown hair one was a little annoying, but the girl! I can see why you would keep her around. Powerful and pretty. The things I would do to something like her..." He trailed smirking.
Kevin began to see red. The things this alien was insinuating made him feel sick. "Don't you DARE talk about Gwen like that!" Kevin yelled, charging at Ragnorok again after picking himself up off the floor. "Gwen! Is that her name? Such a delicate name. Isn't it? Too bad you wont be around long enough to see her again!"
Blasting Kevin one more time he began to enter commands into the controls satisfied with the cracking sound Kevin made against the wall. The ship began to shake as it began to absorb the sun's energy. "Perfect," The energy ran through the command centre, sparking in large arcs. Slowly the sun's energy was being sucked up and stored, ready for sale and there was no-one left to stop him.
Please review. I'll put up chapter 2 sometime soon. The only way for me to get any better is for you to tell me.
