Disclaimer: I do not own Ben Ten this is just a story for fun.
At Ben 10,000's headquarters Ken and Devlin were training with Rook. Rook had the two young heroes running through an obstacle course. The two young boys reached a large serious of walls and ledges they had to climb. Devlin reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue rubber ball and absorbed it's material.
"Catch you at the finish line Kenny." Said Devlin as he bounced up over the wall.
"In your dreams!" Called Ken as he tapped his Omintrix and changed into Crashhopper and jumped over the wall.
Crashhopper caught up to Devlin and the two of them bounced towards the finish line. The two boys eyed each other as they came closer to the finish line. The two of them were neck to neck. Devlin tried to push Crashohopper away, but the insect alien grabbed onto Devlin. The two of them spun around, bounced off the ground and over the finish line. Crashhopper turned back into Ken and Devlin got rid of the rubbed. The two boys glared at one another and then they burst out laughing.
"I totally almost had you at the end." Laughed Devlin.
"You almost did." Agreed Ken.
Rook walked up to the two boys smiling.
"Excellent job you two. You both used your skills and completed the challenge. And a good show of sportsmanship." Said Rook.
"Thank." Said Ken.
Rook's wrist computer beeped and he looked at it.
"Your parents are back. That's enough training for today." Said Rook.
Rook, Ken, and Devlin went to the living room to see Ben, Gwen, and Kai.
"Mom! Dad!" Cheered Ken as he greeted his parents.
"How's my boy doing?" Laughed Ben as he fondled Ken's hair.
Devlin was greeting his mom as Rook greeted Ben.
"Both Ken and Devlin completed the obstacle course in record time. They are both chips off the old block." Said Rook.
"Good to hear." Said Gwen.
Ben walked over to check today's mail. He saw a small sliver box and picked it up.
"Lets see this is either fan mail or a death trap sent from a crazed super villain." Said Ben as he carefully placed the box on a coffee table and pressed a button on it.
A life size holographic image of the Puppet Master popped up and bowed.
"Greetings Ben 10,000. I am the Puppet Master and I wish to test my skills against you." Said Puppet Master.
"Another costumed super villain wanting to pick a fight with me. This is like the fifth time this month." Said Ben.
Rook studied the hologram and looked uneasy.
"Ben be careful. I've heard of this Puppet Master. His incredibly dangerous." Warned Rook.
"Relax Rook I can take this clown." Said Ben.
The others were gathered around the table looking at the hologram of the Puppet Master.
On his ship the Puppet Master grinned at the holo display of Ben and the others.
"Oh I'm afraid you won't find me so easy to deal with. I have very special abilities." Said Puppet Master as he held up a tiny puppet of Gwen and another of Kia.
"That's just creepy." Said Gwen.
"Let the show begin!" Shouted Puppet Master as his eyes glowed brightly.
Both Gwen and Kai's eyes began to glow silver. Everybody looked at them with shock.
"Kai...?" Asked Ben.
Kai threw a powerful kick into Ben's chest knocking him down.
"Mom...?" Asked Devlin as he eyed his mom.
Gwen's hands glowed with powerful energy.
"Get down!" Shouted Rook as he dove to the floor taking Ken and Devlin to the floor with him.
There was a blast of energy destroying several walls and windows. Gwen grabbed Kai and they flew out the window. Ben and the others stood up. The hologram of Puppet Master laughed evilly.
"That was just a sneak peak. The real fun begins now." He said as the hologram vanished.
"That guy is so going down." Said Ben as he clenched his fist, before turning to the others. "Rook come with me. Ken. Devlin. You two stay here."
"But we can help!" Protested Ken.
"No buts. This is a dangerous matter and I don't want either of you to get hurt. Leave it to me and Rook. Will get them back." Said Ben as he and Rook left the building.
The two boys just sighed in annoyance.
