Well, I will fully admit that this chapter was delayed some because of the Cipher Hunt. But I mean who wouldn't be distracted?! I been following it and I can't wait to find the real Bill Cipher statue! That statue is what started this Fanfic in the first place! The moment it is found, I will be taking a road trip to see it!
Everything seemed to be going really fast now, we learned that the government already contacted Mica's brother by the situation we were in, but advised not to tell our parents. I would only guess they wanted to explain the situation to them themselves. Next we were getting fitted for uniforms. I was expecting the stereotypical black suits, but no, we were getting measurements for what seemed like superhero skintight suits (which we were suppose to wear underneath our normal clothes). I asked about our new costumes and they answered it was because they were fire proof, electricity resistant, double as a wet suit and other resistances that will prepare us for anything that is thrown at us while in the field. Then after we got fitted we were given textbooks on the basics of Portal Controlling along with a protocol handbook explaining what to do in different situations. We finally met back up with Nancy and Drew with duffle bags full of equipment.
"Is this all really necessary?" asked Mica even though most of the weight of the bags were books, there was also a weird looking backpack weapon that looked like a cross between a Ghost Busters Proton Pack and a blaster that you would find in Star Wars.
"Yes now follow us, my brother is waiting for you guys hanger 3," answered Drew as he then led us through the base to the hanger. When we got there Drew opened the door and a melody of a banjo echoed throughout the hanger as we stepped inside. All the vehicles that I guess were originally in there were gone and all that was left was a large white mobile home. Sitting on a lawn chair playing a banjo was a man that looked similar to Drew. He had red hair like him, but it wasn't curly like Drews though it looked like it hadn't been combed, freckles spread across his cheeks and on his nose and had some hair on chin (but everything else was clean shaven). He had a loose orange shirt along with dark green cargo shorts and had a star bell buckle belt that held them up. He also wore a rather large green hat that also had a yellow star on it and it immediately looked familiar (but I couldn't put my finger on where it was from).
The moment he saw us he jumped out of his shirt and ran over to us excitedly.
"This is-" said Drew trying introduce us, but his brother had cut him off almost immediately.
"Hello! You must be the new recruits! Great! My name is Wander, my partner, who well you are currently looking at, is David and we welcome you to our team! Ooo I am so excited I haven't been on a team in a long time!" said well Wander in this case, which made me want to face palm myself. The hat was obvious give away of who David was partnered with and I again am now embarrassed that I didn't recognize it right away.
"Easy Wander," laughed David regaining control of his body. He had a light blush on his cheeks and a shy, but also embarrassed smile, "Don't want to overwhelm them, they have been through a lot."
"Oh, I know, but all the more reason why to be friendly and inviting!" said Wander taking control again, but to me it seemed more natural. They seemed to be in perfect sync, unlike Bill and I. We were always fighting to gain control of my body. "Especially when… Kara right?" asked Wander coming over to me.
"Yeah," I answered with a smile.
Wander (or I should say David) smiled back and continued, "Especially when Kara was forced to have Bill as her partner!"
"Hey this isn't a cake walk for me either," said Bill pushing me out. Here we go again.
"Why couldn't you just stay in your statue?" asked David annoyed with a touch of anger.
"Well weirdmegedon isn't going to create itself," responded Bill.
"Not while I am around," I said pushing Bill out.
"Ha! Like you can beat me!"
"Well two children were able to, so I am sure I can."
"I am not going to make the same mistakes as last time meatbag."
"Meatbag? Looks who is talking you are currently in one!"
"Guys, guys! Come on! Can't we just work together?" asked Wander innocently.
"Not easily, or willingly," commented Bill.
"You don't have much of a choice," I responded.
"Ooooh trust me, I can make this very difficult for you if I wanted to."
"And you weren't already?"
"Hey how about we have this conversation later," interrupted Nancy. "We need to get down to business, David with his partner Wander and they will be your mentors. You will be traveling around in the Rust Bucket here around the country and regaining control of a list of portals that we already list out for you." She then handed David a flash drive.
"Wait THE Rust Bucket, Ben Ten Rust Bucket?!" I asked excitedly, gaining back control of my body.
Nancy sighed. "Yes this is the Ben Ten Rust Bucket and the Portal for it also."
"Wait why does it look different?" I asked. It definitely didn't look like the original rust bucket, it just looked like a normal huge mobile home.
"Not every portal is accurately correct to what is seen in the show, but anyways just go around and regain control of the portals. Then when you are done go to Red Wood Regional Park back in California and wait for your orders," finished Nancy.
"Why do we need to go back to the park?" asked Bambi curious.
"The Bill Cipher statue has to be the last portal to be put under control since we have to seal Bill back in the statue," explained Nancy.
"Good luck with that, you ain't going to fool me twice," said Bill inside my head and who also appeared on my shoulder, sitting smugly and leaning against my neck.
"How are we suppose to do that?" I asked. "Bill isn't going to go down easily."
"We will worry about that when the time comes, but for now lets get the portals stabilized," said Nancy.
"Sounds like a plan! Lets get going!" said Wander turning to put away his lawn chair.
"But David, Wander don't get side tracked," commanded Drew. "This is a serious mission!"
"Oh Drew don't worry so much!" said David "We will get all the portals under control. I mean, what could go wrong?"
