Monday May 22.2017 2:16 am completed...I think I did well. Feel free to leave your suggestions and what not. I'll just go hibernate.
"There has to be a reason," Gwen said peeking back at their deadly ex-best friend who was handcuffed from head to toe in the back of the disguised plumber van. "She can't just turn into some murderer overnight, can she?"
"You've said it yourself," Ben said keeping his eyes glued to the road not wanting to glance back and see that his best friend that he confided in for so long was now considered a murderer. "Not all monsters have to be aliens."
"We've known her for so long," Gwen added out frowning, "you longer than any of us. We should've noticed something," she tried to reason.
"Considering the fact that we've saved the universe over a thousand times," Kevin said stepping harder on the gas pedal, "I think we all get a pass on not noticing the psychotic murderer in the back," she said gesturing with his thumb.
"She's not a murderer!" Ben angrily yelled slamming his fist down on the headboard denting it a bit. Taking a few calming breaths Ben placed his hand back down ignoring the pulsing pain in his hand as both Gwen and Kevin sent him pity looks. "S-She just can't be," Ben solemnly sad.
"We're here," Kevin stated slowing the van down to a halt in front of a plumber owned air station. "They're going to take her in for judgment and most likely send her to the.."
"Null Void," Ben said quickly stepping out of the car and slamming the door behind him heading towards the back.
"Mr. Tennyson," a plumber said walking up to as the invisibility shield slowly started to go down revealing all the plumber ships and plumbers going about their business preparing the for the oncoming prisoner. "Just a few more minutes," the plumber said nodding to his associates behind him signaling to get the prisoner out from the van and ready. "And we'll be ready to take her off of your hands."
"I'll be joining you," Ben said as the two plumbers brought Eloisa out and shoved her towards their commanding officer making her stumble and land on her knees. "Just to make sure she doesn't do anything," he said glaring down at her.
"We'll all go," Gwen said walking up to Ben's right side while Kevin was on his left.
"Sure why not," Kevin shrugged.
"How sweet," a voice echoed as a red portal opened up a 6 foot man in a black leather trench coat stepped out, "but," he said walking closer to the group a menacing grin on his face as the plumber tightened their hold on their guns ready to aim and fire at any moment, "I'll be taking her from you."
"Just who in the hell are you son?" the commanding officer said glaring at the man.
"That girls," he said pointing at Eloisa who in return gave him a questioning look, "cousin and I'm here to kill her."
"Kill?" Eloisa asked getting ready to stand only to have both of the plumbers hold her down.
"Kill her," Ben said stepping up, "why?"
"Well," the man said shrugging, "take her powers and that should kill her pretty much," he finished off dusting off a bit of imaginary dirt from his shirt. "You know I was expecting you to ask from this big shot evil plan yada yada," he said his eyes slowly turning the blood red color Eloisa's was a few hours ago. "But I'm on a tight schedule so if you please," he said slightly moving his head to the side making the plumbers that were holding her fly away from them.
"Hero time," Ben said slamming his hand down on the Omnitrix. "Humungousar!"
"I was hoping this would go by easier," he sighed holding his hand up to the side opening up a portal showing Eloisa's house with her brother driving up in the driveway, "I guess I'll have to be forceful then."
"Wait!" Eloisa shouted stopping Ben midway from fully charging a blow at the man who calls himself her cousin. "W-What are you gonna do?" she stuttered out feeling the fear of something happening to her brother settle in the pit of her stomach.
"Negotiate," he happily said, "You come to me willingly, I absorb all your powers, you die cause no one survives being drained and your brother lives. You don't follow this plan well," he said sucking on his teeth, "I make your brother and house go boom boom into a fireball."
"You might need to work on your negotiating skills," Kevin spoke up already in full metal absorption form. "'Cause that sounded more like a threat to me."
"Threat, bargain, negotiation," the guy said shrugging, "I'm just here for her," he said pointing to the girl who glaring at him, "Nice to finally meet you cuz' names Anthony, pleasure to kill you and take your powers. Now if you could just be a good little girl and come over here."
"She's not going anywhere with you," Ben growled.
"Alright," he nodded, "say bye to big brother then," he grinned flicking his wrist as the entire house explode with Eloisa's brother Alexander in it.
"No!" Eloisa screamed seeing her house in a engulfed in flames as it slowly started to crumble down. "No," she whispered feeling the tears start to pool her eyes.
"The beauty of our people," Anthony gloated chuckling eyeing the masterpiece of destruction he caused. "This is all your fault, Benji," Anthony said pouting at the enraged Ben in front of him, "Honestly, I thought you loved her and you made me kill her brother. Well not really," he sighed, "I can still hear his heartbeat just barely but still there," he said shaking his head, "If only I didn't put an illusion spell then the medics and all that would be there to save him. Oh well!"
"You monster!" Gwen yelled her hands engulfed in her mana ready to start the fight that was bubbling to start.
"Blah, blah, blah," Anthony said brushing them off with a bored expression on his look. "I'm starting to get annoyed. So if you could hand her over and maybe just maybe I'll let her big brother get help," he finished off flashing them a big smile causing each one of them to growl. "Tick tock life on a very thin line here."
"Fire!" the Commanding Officer yelled as all the plumber fired their weapon at Anthony creating a dense dust to surround him. "Hold!" he yelled out all of them. Gwen, Ben, Kevin and the plumber waiting in anticipation to see if any one of them had landed a hit on Anthony. Eloisa, on the other hand, stayed motionless eyes glued on the fiery rubble she used to call home mumbling over and over he can't be dead Tears slowly gliding down her cheeks.
"Now I'm angry," Anthony's voice rang a red clear glowing shield surrounding him resembling that of Gwen's mana one. "And now he's dead, congrats Ben."
Ben roared running towards Anthony ready to punch him only to be lifted off the ground and thrown into one of the ships with the flick of his wrist.
"Get her on board men," the commanding officer ordered watching the battle slowly start to unfold in front of them. "Tennyson has this handled," he said turning away from them and towards the girl who had her head hung low and was shaking.
"He's dead," Eloisa whispered to herself feeling the rage slowly start to consume her, "my brother," she whimpered tightly closing her eyes her once dark brown eyes turning bright red. "You killed him," she growled feeling the powers she had tried to suppress for so long boil over causing the ground below them tremble.
"Oh," Anthony said grabbing hold of Kevin's wrist excitement filling his blood red eyes as he witnessed his cousin's full powers coming out. "Now the parties starting," he gleefully said shoving Kevin towards Gwen knowing them both down.
"Hold her down men!" the Commanding Officer yelled as a swarm of the plumber ran to hold down Eloisa only to have all their necks crack as one by one they fell to the ground around her dead.
"You killed my brother," Eloisa growled the handcuffs holding her down melting away from the heat her skin was emitting as she slowly stood up glaring at her so called cousin with her new bright red eyes catching him by surprise.
"That's new," Anthony mumbled scrunching his eyebrows together.
"I'll kill you," she hissed teleporting in front of him and throwing a quick right hook to his cheek sending him flying away crashing into one of the ships. Opening her mouth she took a deep breath before letting out a sonic scream crushing the ground in the direction it was heading pushing Anthony further into the ship. She slowly flew up before quickly flying towards Anthony who in turn did the same thing before they flew up centimeters away from crashing into each other.
"Eloisa!" Ben yelled turning back into his human form. Keeping a close eye he witnessed just how powerful she was. Easily dodging each attack Anthony threw at her while he had trouble blocking the ones she threw at him.
"Ben," Gwen said running towards Ben as she looked around to she the danger Eloisa and Anthony were putting everyone in. "We need to find a way to stop them," she said seeing the how nuclear the fight was progressing to in a short amount of time.
"They're putting everyone in harm's way," Kevin stated.
"I know," he said dialing his watch to the alien he thought would be best. Slamming his hand down he quickly turned into Chromastone.
"Poor baby," Anthony teased landing a punch on her stomach, "all alone," he continued kneeling her face, "friends think you're a monster," blasting her with his laser visions deep into the ground. "Maybe your family will accept you," he said floating down so he was hovering just above her. Eloisa had a deep gash on her forehead blood pouring down her face, cuts all over her and her clothes ripped from the fight. But compared to Anthony she got off easy. "Wait," he said cocking his head to the side pouting as Eloisa tried to move some of the rubles off of her, "I just killed your family," he happily said smiling down at her as her eyes glowed letting out a scream charging at him. Punch after punch. Blast upon blast she would hit him with not letting him land anything of her. It got to the point that she was covered more in his blood than her own.
"We trusted you!" she screamed grabbing hold of his wrist and slamming him into one of the buildings making it crumble down. "You told them!" she added extending her arms grabbing hold of him with her red mana. "You made it seem like I was a monster," she hissed throwing an upper punch. "You took everything away from me," she said flying towards. "For what!" she yelled breaking every bone in arms with a squeeze of her first as he yelled out. "My powers!" she screeched holding her hands into a first and slamming his back down to the ground. "Well then," she floating down to the ground as Anthony rolled over to his back wincing spitting out some blood letting out a chuckle.
"Well this sure was fun," he teased as he was lifted into the air facing Eloisa. "A nice family reunion I'd say," he said smiling as Eloisa slowly approached him her right arm glowing like flames with her red mana.
"I guess I'll just have to take your powers," she hissed stopping right in front of him taking aim right where his heart is located.
"Then let me leave you with some wise choice of words," he mumbled leaning close to her ear.
"Don't," Ben said seeing what she was getting ready to do slowly walking towards them.
"She wouldn't," Gwen gasped her eyes widening.
"No!" Ben yelled seeing Eloisa's hand go through his chest heart in her glowing red hands as she absorbed every bit of his powers."What have you done?" he gasped watching Anthony's lifeless body ignite in flames quickly turning to dust.
"You're hereby," Commanding Officer started Eloisa falling down to her knees once more a blank expression on her face as her bright red eyes turned back to her normal dark brown eyes. "Under arrest for the murder of my men,"
"Sir?" Gwen said pointing towards the plumbers that Eloisa had killed all groaning and moaning slowly standing up rubbing their necks. "Illusion?" Gwen asked looking over at Kevin who simply shrugged morphing back to his human flesh form.
"For the murder of the unknown alien Anthony," he finished as Gwen encased her in her mana.
"Ben," Gwen softly said gingerly placing a hand on his shoulder. They had all just witnessed their best friend whom they had grown to love and protect Ben more than her and Kevin combined turn into a psychotic murderer. "We don't," she started as Ben shrugged her hand off walking towards the ship Eloisa was going to be placed in before everything happened.
"Let's go," he coldly said taking one last glance at Eloisa's blank face before taking off.
End Flashback
"It's been two years Eloisa," Ben said sitting in the exact chair with the exact table in front of him in the exact white room looking at his still to this day best friend chained in high tech armor that prevented her from using any of her powers that she has been in for the past two years with the same blank look on her face.
