Introduction: Warning! Content contains mild Ben/Gwen shipping at on part. I, myself, am not a Be/Gwen shipper, but I thought I might as well put it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Ben 10 or any of the characters on the show.
Neither do I own the totally awesome power of hypnosis…although I wish I did, curse reality.
Ben, with a recently hypnotized Gwen, walked into one of the science building's many hallways. Unlike the other hallways though, the end of the particular one Ben was in contained a red curtain at its end. Such a curtain addressed what was behind it was new and/or important. Before Ben and Gwen could reach the previously mentioned end, Max had called to them from a second hallway in a small room with other people.
"Oh man. Ah well, I guess we're gonna go there anyway. Come on, Gwen" Ben said as he pointed to the room. "Yes Ultra Ben, greatest hero of the Universe" Gwen responded in her normal voice.
Ben smiled with in an almost mocking way before laughing. "I'll never get tired of that" He wiped a tear from his eye. "But while we're around Grandpa and the others, try to act like you're normal self" Gwen nodded and slapped Ben's shoulder. "Freakshow" "Ow…okay, maybe a little less than that" They walked inside to regroup with Menov and Max.
As Ben looked around, the room was filled with adults and children running around. The room housed items, which the visitors could touch and examine. "This is gonna be…"
"Terrible! This is just terrible!" Sublimino barked as he was standing in front of a bus driver without shoes on and empty pockets. "Sir, we're on a schedule", said the driver dully. "Hold on, I know I have some change somewhere…I just don't remember where exactly…" He mumbled to himself as he began searching his person for change. "Oh wait" Sublimino took off his helmet and there was change atop his head. After putting it in the box the driver gave him a weird look. "…What? A guy can't keep some money under a helmet?" "Just sit down, sir" He grumbled as he walked to a seat and looked out the window. "Soon Tennyson, soon my revenge will be complete!" He again laughed evilly before being shushed.
Sublimino's bus was not far now from the science building where Ben enjoyed poking fun at his obedient cousin.
"Okay, now take that club thing and act like a caveman" Gwen nodded before taking the club-like object and squatting down. She began making grunting noises and walking on her knuckles and feet. Ben couldn't control laughing hysterically at the sight of it.
"Okay, okay. Now um…" Ben was practically jumping in place. "Now you're a baby with a stinky diaper" Gwen sat down while her grunting quickly became crying, her arms tucked into her chest as she did. "You think you're a kitten"
Gwen stopped crying and licked the back of her hands, as if she was cleaning herself. She walked on her hands and feet and wrapped around Ben's leg, making purring sounds. Ben, who was now blue in the face from laughing so hard, fell over clutching his sides.
People had been staring at the random girl and weird laughing boy for a few minutes in confusion. Ben finally calmed down, enough to talk, before telling Gwen to stop. "That's…that's good. You can…stop now" He wiped his tear-filled face with his sleeve as Gwen helped him up.
Dr. Menov led the group to the end of the hall as Max walked to duo. "Glad to see you two are enjoying yourselves. Especially you Ben" Ben finished wiping his face before answering. "You just gotta know where the fun things are, Grandpa"
They walked to the end of the hallway where the red curtain was. Dr. Menov had his hand on a tassel, which would open the curtain to the room. "This is the final room of the facility, the Millennia-Dome" He opened the curtain to the largest room in the building. The ceiling extended a good 200 feet while the floor was the same as the hallways'. There was a door-sized hole, that was still under construction, which led to the main parking lot. "A little bit of every other room in the facility was integrated into the Millennia-Dome to show how much can be accomplished in that time", Dr. Menov stated.
The group spread out amongst the area as Max went with Menov again. "Today was great", Ben said with his arms behind his head, "A day that deserves a reward. Like a victory kiss or something. Maybe I'll get a—" He was cut off as Gwen pulled him over and gave him a kiss on the lips, which held for a couple of seconds before Ben pulled away. "Uhhhh……" He could on reply with reddened cheeks.
"Fools! I, Sublimino, have returned for my revenge against all who dare oppose me!" Ben turned to the man who had just walked in. There was a bus stationed behind him with other passengers coming off. "Sublimino, that was your name. I guess you came back for another—wait. Did you get here by bus?" Sublimino raised an eyebrow before turning around, then back to Ben with his face red. "Okay, so I don't have a fancy getaway car or some mutant animal like the other supervillains. But at least I still got here, dammit!"
"Oh well, time to go hero! Fourarms will clobber you all the way back to jail" Ben turned the faceplate of the Omnitrix to Fourarms and pushed it down. After the green light had flashed, Ben had become a relatively new alien hero, Ditto. "I swear, you hate me or something"
"You're probably wondering how I found you. You see I made a device that lets me know and track my pocket watch whenever it is activated, fool!" Sublimino let out a laugh of confidence and mockery. Max rushed over to Ditto, who was still a little out of it from Gwen's kiss. "Ben, what exactly does he mean by that?" "Um…beat's me, Grandpa" Ditto then used his power to split into three. "He did it!" the triplicates pointed and yelled at each other before running in opposite directions.
Sublimino was surprised by Ditto's power to duplicate. "Regardless of your alien's multiplying powers, I'll fight your alien army with my mind-controlled army!" He held out a second pocket watch and pressed the button on it. "Oh no! Not again!" The Dittos ran to the hallway and closed the curtain to be safe from the watch's effect.
"That was a close one" "I thought we were goners" "You're telling us" "Wait, isn't there like a couple dozen people in there who were just hypnotized?" "Just like the mall" "It's happening again!" "What's the word for that?" "Déjà vu?" The Dittos conversed with each other. They peered inside to see Sublimino giving the group their commands.
The middle Ditto stood up. "Well like he said. We'll fight his army with our army" The right Ditto stood up. "Fight fire with fire" The left Ditto stood up. "Or fight mind-zombies with aliens" They nodded and rushed into the room making enough to fight the opposing numbers.
Sublimino pointed to the general group of Dittos. "Now my slaves! Attack!" The mind-controlled group and the Dittos rushed each other to battle.
Me: Phew, that took a while. I think I might have made a Ben/Gwen shipper happy with that kiss thing.
Gwen: Wait, what was that?!
Me: Nothing, nothing! Ben, help me out here!
Ben: No way dude. You're on your own.
Me: Gotta go, the fighting armies will happen in the next chapter along with the conclusion. R and R if you want. explosion Ow! Come on Gwen, I'm sorry! It was an accident on Ben's part.
Gwen: You're dead, buddy! chants magic words, more explosions
Me: Hopefully, I'll be alive enough to write it! explosion A little to the left and we could've had a problem. keeps running
