Ok people here's chapter 4 of the story you get to see hunter's training and ben's side of the story about hunter's 'death'
Disclaimer: I do not own ben 10, Just my OC enjoy!
"Hello? Anybody home?" I called out as I walked in the temple. Thousands of candles lit up the room, giving the place a homey feeling, in the center of the room I saw an old man older than my uncle, wearing a dark brown robe with silver highlights. He was sitting on his knees and it look like he was meditating.
"Hi sorry if I had interrupted your meditation but I was wondering if you could-"
"Do you know why are you here?"
"Excuse me?"
The man asked me again "Do you know why you are here?, Was It fate or destiny that brought you here?"
I was really confused at what he's saying "I'm sorry I don't understand"
"Then perhaps a different term" The man then looked at me with his light brown eyes that he opened "What do you want?, What are you looking for?"
I know he's not trying to sound rude or anything but the way he asked me it's almost as if he wanted an honest question from me so I answered.
"A way out".
He gave me a small smile and pulled out a case, and what pulled came out was a katana sword and it was the most beautiful sword I've ever seen. It's blade was pitch black, the light from the candles giving it an ominous glow.
"This is your weapon, This sword is called the sword the darkness. Legend has it that it contains both the dangerous powers of a demon and a dragon and those who tried had met their fate" the man's face turned into a frown.
When he said those who tried had met their fate meaning those who tried had died trying to use it. I started to get really nervous when he handed the sword to me.
"Oh n-no I-I couldn't use this you said it yourself, those who have tried it failed there's no way I could use it. But the old man was persistent "Please I Insist, besides you and I both know that you felt that energy when you look at it" now that I think about I did felt a strange energy coming from it and then I had the feeling that it was telling me to go ahead and take the sword.
I slowly grabbed the sword, as soon as I lay my hand on it.
BA-DUMP
"Gahhhaaa!"
He backed away surprised as a huge burst of pain shot through me, the sword was glowing a midnight black, and I felt something in my head as if it was trying to take over, posses me, telling me to give in to the darkness of the sword.
'No….. I will not let this thing take control of me, sword of darkness or not'
Determined, I gripped the sword with both of my hand and used all of my strength and power to take control of the sword, the light from the sword was getting dimmer and dimmer until it was gone.
The man looked at me amazed. 'So it's true, he is the entity of light and darkness' he thought as I let out a few swings to test out the sword getting the feel of it. I stopped and looked at the man suspiciously. For some reason, the man knew I was gonna be the one to take full control of the sword "Who are you?"
The man smiled at me.
"I'm Hamato Oroku, and your training begins now, Hajime!"
Oh so is name is- wait. DID HE SAY TRAINING?!
I looked up at the roof and out came ninja's that landed on the ground each wearing dark grey ninja clothing but with different colored belts, the first one had a dark blue belt, holding two katanas and had blue eyes, the second one who was taller and probably the biggest had a red belt, and was holding sais in his hands. I had to look away from staring at his green eyes.
Seeing them reminds me of Him.
The third had a dark purple belt, brown eyes that are lighter than Hamato and had a long bow staff in his hand. The fourth and final one, wears an orange belt, bright blue innocent eyes that held mischief in them and has two nunchucks in his hands.
Then They attacked.
I used my sword to block the two katanas in front, the ninja then kicked me in the stomach, I shout in pain as I slid back, sensing someone behind me I jumped up narrowing missing the bow staff as the purple belted ninja swung. I Back-Kicked him but he blocked it and roundhouse kick me in the face. My head was pounding and I felt my Sword being pulled by the orange belted ninja, I pulled my sword hard but he pulled harder. I pulled hard enough to bring him flying towards me, as soon as he got close enough I sucker punched him in the face….Hard. He went flying across the room. I was shocked at my own strength, I looked at my fist then at my sword, did it just gave me a boost? I was out of my thoughts when the red belted ninja tried to stab me with his sais but I used my sword to keep it from reaching my face. It was now a battle of strength.
As I struggled to keep the sais from stabbing me, I saw his eyes glaring at me, I nearly flinched as a sixteen year old boy with green eyes appeared in my mind.
I remember seeing him smile.
His eyes glowing in the night sky as we were sitting on the roof of his house.
His Determined face as he was ready to fight an alien.
And Then…
It happened.
The look of horror in his eyes after I threw him out of the warehouse.
And It exploded.
With me along with it.
The only thing I remember was him shouting my name.
"HUNTER!"
The ninja noticed I hesitated and used the chance to kick me under my chin. He kicked me so hard that I was flung outside of the temple and land on the snowy ground on my stomach. The sword landing next to me.
I groaned as felt the pain on my chin lessened. The four ninjas then ran outside not bothered by the cold.
"You were hesitating" I hear Hamato Oroku say as the ninjas circled around me, I picked my sword and got into a fighting stance.
"You saw something in his eyes that brought you guilt, what was it?" he asked.
I can tell that he already knows but he also wanted to hear it from my point of view. I took a deep breath and let it out, cold air coming from it trying to get my words right.
"My Best Friend thinks I'm dead, I sacrifice myself to save his life but he doesn't know that i'm alive and now I couldn't find a way to get to him"
"But what is it that you wanted to see once you see him again?"
I Could already see the look on his face if we meet again, Mostly angry at me that I didn't come straight to him and let him know that I survived the bomb, but also happy that I was alive. I could see the smile on his face, His smile practically light the whole world.
I Smiled to myself.
"I want to see him smile again"
The Blue belted ninja attacked and without looking up I blocked him with my sword. A strange new feeling was growing within me. I gripped my sword harder.
"I"m going to make sure he smiles again"
"Louder"
The feeling within me was getting bigger and bigger
"i'm going to make Him smile again'
"Louder"
The sword started to glow along with my eyes
"I'm Going To Make Him Smile Again!" My voice was raised.
"LOUDER! WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANTED TO DO?!" Hamato Shouted.
Then I screamed so loud that all of japan might've heard me.
"I'M GOING TO MAKE HIM SMILE AGAIN, AND NO ONE IS GOING TO STOP ME!"
Then a burst of energy erupted from my body, blasting the four ninjas back!, a cover of darkness covered my body. When it disappeared I was no longer wearing my shirt and sweats instead I was wearing a Black muscle shirt and dark colored jeans along with dark brown combat boots that are steel tipped. I also had on a black hoodie big enough to cover my whole face. The sword's sealth was now attach to my belt besides my hip.
Hamato looked proud.
And then the battle continues.
I Dodged the punches that the red belted ninja gave me and then I grabbed it and threw him over my shoulder, The Orange ninja tried to hit me with his nunchuck from behind but I grabbed it from behind and elbowed him in the chest and whacked him the head with his own chucks, knocking him to the ground. The Purple ninja hits me on the back with the staff, then he tried to hit me again but I used the sword and sliced the bow staff in half. I then Drop-kicked Him hard on the head and he was knocked out unconscious on the ground. The Blue ninja was now left.
All was quiet, no sound but the wind blowing, We both got into a stance, our swords at the ready.
Then we ran towards each other with our swords ready to strike.
We jumped in the air.
The wind blowing in our faces.
We Strike!
We landed on the ground.
The Blue ninja then fell to his knees, and fainted.
"Yame!"
I hear hamato clapping.
"Well Done!" Hamato say proudly, walking towards me as the four ninja slowly got up.
"You have done well in your training"
Which Leads me to my next question
"Does this means I get to see him again?"
"No" is Hamato's answer.
"WHAT?!"
What do he mean no? Does this means I can't go back to see him again?
"Not yet anyway, I have something else mind"
"huh?"
He nodded to the ninjas and they disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Now it's just me and him. "Answer this question, Have you ever wondered why you were the one to have this sword"
"I wish I could say yes but no I'm drawing a blank here" I said
"It's Because you have a special power that's inside you" He pointed his finger to my chest.
I was surprised. "I have a special power inside me? Wow!'
His face was frowning again, " But like all great power, some wanted to use your power for evil." And there's the part where he said that someone is gonna come after me and use me as a weapon.
I rolled my eyes at that. "Am I really that powerful?"
"Yes" was his answer.
I almost fell over in shocked 'Oh shit what?'
"I'm that powerful? like frickin' god powerful?
Hamato nodded his head yes.
"I think I need to sit down" I felt like I was about to faint as I take in all of what Hamato said.
Suddenly, Hamato came in front of me and he pushed me.
Right
Off
A
Ledge
I screamed as I fell down. "OH SHIT! OH SHIT! THIS IS NOT GOOD! NOT GOOD!"
I saw the ground was heading towards me, well, I was heading towards the ground. "NO! NO! NO! NO! I don't wanna die! Not now!" I panicked as the ground was getting closer. I shut my eyes and waited for my bones to break.
But it didn't happen.
I slowly opened my eyes and I noticed I Was ten feet off the air and i was floating.
No… I was flying.
Feeling excited, I let out a whooped as I flew through the air
I hear Hamato chuckle behind me and I glared at him as he also flew towards me
"You think that's funny? What the fuck man! I thought I was gonna die!" I shouted at him. But all he did was laugh.
"Now follow me" So I followed him, we flew above the clouds in the night sky the moon shining bright. I looked at the sky in awe. Sometimes I wonder what does it feel like to fly, to be free as a bird and to touch the clouds. Hamato free falled and I free falled with him.
We Flew over a city. I swear this place is familiar to me, we went passed a house, I stopped as soon I saw something from an opened window, it looked like a jacket, when Hamato dragged me away I was able to get a glimpse of the color and was able to see someone sleeping.
"Ben" I whispered out his name. I looked away from from the house not wanting to relive the pain that he's going through. I look up at the night sky seeing the stars, 'Till we meet again'. And That was a promise… I hope I can keep.
(Third Pov)
All was quiet in bellwood. Every resident in the houses were comfortable in their own homes, some with up late watching movies with their loved ones or asleep with dreams for they're waiting for what tomorrow awaits them.
All except one.
This particular person was in his room tossing and turning, his hair clinging to his head as sweat was forming, tears were threatening to spill as he was reliving a nightmare he want to forget. He kept mumbling His name like he chanting a spell.
"Come back, Hunter" he whispered as he was seeing the nightmare all over again.
" Come On, Come On!" Ben shouted, he was frantically going through his watch to find the fastest alien, either Jetray or XLR8. The bomb was counting down to 10 seconds
10
"We're not going make it!"
9
Hunter didn't say anything until… "You're right'.
8
"You are"
Those were the only two words he said till he grabbed ben by his jacket.
7
"Hey what are you doing!" Ben was then thrown outside of the warehouse and landed on the ground.
6
When Ben turned around, he watched in horror as Hunter stood there inside.
5
He got up and ran towards him, arm stretch out to him
4
He was almost there.
3
Almost.
2
The only thing that Hunter gave him. The one thing that will forever haunt him.
1
Was a sad smile.
"HUNTER!'
BOOOM!
The force of the blast pushed him back. Ben screamed in pain as something sharp cut through his upper arm.
His ears were ringing, his head was pounding and his arm was burning like fire.
He watched as the flames engulfed the entire building… and the one person he consider a friend.
He hear Gwen and Kevin run up to him.
"Ben what happen?" Gwen gasped as she saw his cousin's arm, "Your bleeding" as she went to get the First Aid Kit, Kevin looked around and noticed something.
One Person was missing.
"Where's Hunter?" He asked. That question made ben tense up, he was shaking violently, he choked up on his words as he tried to say them, he turned to his cousin and best friend and one look from him gave them the answer. Gwen's eyes widened with horror as tears welled up in them, Kevin's face was grim. "You mean He's…"
Then for the first time in his life as an alien hero from when he was ten years old, Ben broke down in tears, gwen immediately wrapped her arms around him muffling his sobs, not caring if her shirt gets wet.
'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry' Ben whispered out.
"shh It's ok ben" Gwen said as she whispered a few words to calm him down, rocking him back and forth.
"It's my fault, It's all my fault" Ben said low enough that gwen didn't hear it but kevin did.
"Don't start blaming yourself for what Hunter did, he did it to save your life" he said
"BUT IT'S STILL MY FAULT!" Ben yelled, then he lowered his voice, " We shouldn't have followed the alien into the warehouse, If I would've know that bomb was in there, Hunter would still be alive, It's my fault, It's all fault, I'm sorry hunter, I'm so sorry" Ben then woke up.
Ben Shot up from his bed breathing heavily as tears were falling from his face, He grabbed his upper left arm that doesn't have the omnitrix, on his arm was a huge scar, a jagged scar that stop to his shoulder. The cool breeze from the night sky blown a picture of his night stand and onto his lap, he picked it up and looked at it. On it were four teenagers, smiles on their faces, the three of them was him gwen and kevin, the fourth had the biggest smile and and he held up a peace sign with his arm around ben's neck, he smile softly at the person, That person was Hunter Bloodbane, this was taken in front of Mr. Smoothies, his favorite place. 'Keep that picture as a memory' he said 'that no matter where I am, I will always be you' Ben pulled the picture to his chest, hugging it "I miss you already" He said, Then he brought the picture up to his face…
And kissed the smiling face of hunter.
Ever Since He met Hunter, he beginning to have feelings for him, from having a little crush to falling madly in love with him. He wanted to confess to but was afraid that hunter might not feel the same and now he's gone, he never got the chance.
To Ben it felt like hours as he kissed the photo, He imagine that instead of the picture, It was his lips he was kissing, Hunter's lips were tender and soft like his, his hands grabbing his waist while his arms wrapped around his neck, his face was red, Hunter's hand moved down from his waist to his thigh slowly rubbing it, ben let out a quiet moan.
"Ben" He heard him whispered his name, Ben snapped out of his daydream and pulled the picture away from him, face still red, he got out of the bed and walked towards the window and looked at the full moon, Hoping that hunter was watching him from above, hoping that he may come back to him, he clasped his hands together careful of the photo in his hands and made a wish 'come back' he thought, ' come back to me' he let out a sad sigh he just wouldn't accept the fact that hunter's gone he know he's out there, somewhere. Ben got back into bed and lay down on his pillow with the picture in his hand, he whispered those five little words 'I will always be with you' his eyes slowly closing 'always be with you hunter I promise, until we meet again' then he went to sleep dreaming of being in hunter's arms.
And there you have it folks, Ben gaining a romantic love intrest to Hunter. My god I made him sound like a princess waiting for his prince
