Chapter 2 :

timeskip: 1 month after Gwen came to New York...

"huh"? Gwen was a bit confused ... she was standing on a dark street which seemed to be near to one of the central park of New York ... but she couldn´t remember that she ever was there... nor did she know how she actually got there ... everything was glowing in a dark red light... it was a scary place... the whole street looked like an earthquake had broken it ... "where am I ?...Ben ? Huh ? " Ben wasn´t around... suddenly he heard his voice " yeah...?" she turned around a bit shocked from his sudden answer ... just to be shocked again... Ben didn´t look like Ben ... or at least not as much as he should... a strange, dark red scar was running over his whole face and body ... and his Eyes were red " Gasp wh...what happened to you ...?" "hehe...hehahaha... like you wouldn´t know... "he laughed maniacally and suddenly everything faded...

She woke up all sweaty and scared "..." for a moment she thought that that all was just a dream but she was hit by reality ... that all happened ... 2 Weeks ago... she looked at Ben who was lying next

to her ... the red scar was there... so would be the blood red Eyes...(side note : what you saw wasn´t some dream... it was her memory of the night AFTER... something...terrible...) Ben had changed a lot since that day... she remembered what happened with him after he saw... it happen...

Flashback : 2 weeks ago... 29th June...near midnight...

Gwen patrolled the Streets like she always did ... Ben had the Daytime as his patrolling time ... hers was the night... they kept the afternoon for their private sphere... but this night was different than all the others... she was jumping over the Roof tops of the 13th street when she suddenly noticed something glowing in the dark "huh ?" she went down on the street to take a closer look... the light went out "OK Whose There ? Stop hiding you Coward !" She yelled into the darkness " Who said that I would be hiding? Ehahah..." She turned around ... she expected everything but Kevin to stand in front of her "what are you doing here Kevin ? Didn´t Ben give you chance to live on IF you would leave New York ? " " hmpf... you didn´t really believe that he could do that did you ? He´s to weak to defeat me ... we both know that ..."

suddenly she was wakened from her thoughts as Ben seemed to have woken up "hmpf..." he didn´t look at her ... nor did he say anything... it was like everyday since it happened... she always wanted him to accept what happened ... but he just couldn´t ... that all was a bit TO much for him... "Why should I accept something like that ? DO you really think one day or one Week would make it forgiven ? Would make it Undone ? ... No it sure won´t " those were the last words he said to her, that was 2 Weeks ago...

Meanwhile Ben got a call ( on the watch which seems to have something like a cell phone installed Oo) "yeah?" his Voice was a lot deeper pitched than before " What´s it Vis?" Vis ( shortcut for Visio...)was on the line ''We got an alarm on the 13th street seems serious a bunch of aliens... the people who alarmed us said that one of them looks like a combination of different Creatures... at least that´s what the Person who called us said...'' "got it ..." without telling Gwen where he was going to Ben TELEPORTED ( an ability he also go tfrom his transformation...) out of the Room into the middle of the street ( he´s 6 feet over the ground by the way "") he hovered on the same place for a while then he dashed ( flew) into the direction Vis told him that the calll was from 'combination of different creatures ? ... You got away last time.. but this time ... nothings gonna hold me back' Ben thought enraged, after flying past the 12th Street he noticed that Smoke was coming from the next few Streets 'seems like their little campain of destruction is continuing' Ben thought and dashed on further until he noticed that the Street he just flew by (that the 26th by the way Oo) wasn´t (completely) destroyed. "hmpf... there you are .." Ben said landing near a pretty big group of different aliens, as he had to notice most of them were the same race as the Omnitrix aliens ... sadly he was right about the "combination alien" Kevin was standing in front of them all and luaghed as he saw Ben "ohhh... so the Demon has returned ? HAHA ... this is gonna be fun " " not for you ..." Ben said " HAH" suddenly a strange nearly invisible Wave like energy came from Ben´s hand and NEARLY everything surrounding him(expect for the Houses ...)started to float in mid-air "heh..." Ben laughed "Grah" suddenly he vanished and red shield like energy blasts started to hit Kevin and his "comrandes" in a VERY rapid way after 7 minutes he stopped and let go of the floatiness everything fell down onto the ground instantly and Kevin and his Friends were preety bad beat up ( kevin was the only one not unconscious) Ben rised his hand and a red energy sword appeared out of no where "hehe... you know that you can´t kill me Benjy... " Ben looked at him and then realized that Kevin was right, the word dissapeared " your right ... I can´t ...beacuse I´m not a monster like you are " strange red energy net´s appeared around the group "Vis ...send the guards... I got them..." ''roger boss'' " you know Kevin I got to thank you ... you made me even stronger than I was before ..." Gwen who had just landed as Ben let the Saber dissaper was stuned and surprised " What´s wrong Gwen ? " Ben asked without turning around " Did you think I would kill him ? No he willl pay in another way for what he did ... " he turned around ... it was the first time he looked at her for 2 Weeks ... well you could say that NEARLY everthing was back to normal since that ... with the exception that Ben still didn´t know what happened to him..."well I think we should go back home ..." Ben said " Yeah.. let´s go shall we ? .." she asked and kissed him...
