Chapter three: part two
Ben sat in his room, head in his hands, thinking. They'd told his parents all about Ambrose ,Ben, and the fight…and they took it pretty well all things considered. Sandra had called her mother, furious, and demanded to know why she'd never been told her father was an alien and his father had fainted. Again, Pretty good all things considered. At least they weren't mad or disgusted. They did demand that he not use his new "Gifts" in public. Can you say duh? Oh well.
His grandma ,Dianna, had told his mother all about who Ambrose really was and why she'd never spoken about him. She'd been a scientist at the time, working for the government under extraterrestrial research. At the time they were working with the plumbers and had access to the plumbers alien database.
After Ambrose told Dianna he was the emperor of Majesdania, she had looked into it and discovered the truth.
45 years earlier
Dianna sat alone in the living room of her small home waiting for her husband to get home. She felt a tear slide down her cheek at the thought of what he was. A monster.
The front door opened and he stepped in, smiling at her. "Hello my darling wife."
She growled and stood up. She had to do it." you lied to me Ambrose."
He frowned." What on earth are you talking about love?"
"You told me you were a beloved Emperor of your people stationed on earth to help keep the balance…"
" I am.", he said putting a hand on her face.
She swatted his hand away ." Liar. I had the plumbers research you Ambrose. I know who you really are. Bright Death, Scourge of Ta'vere and tyrant ruler of Majesdania. You murdered your own family for power."
He snarled and his body glowed lightly." you have no idea what you are talking about! You couldn't possibly understand!"
She turned away from him and frowned. "I'm sorry Ambrose."
"Sorry..?"
A loud crash sounded as several figures crashed thought the windows and aimed laser cannons at him. His eyes widened and he turned to her." You called the Government? You betrayed me!"
Dianna left the building with her small daughter, Sandra, in her arms, tears slipping down her cheeks. She didn't know that Ambrose had killed all the men and escaped. She didn't know that he deleted all data on him in the plumbers database and the government files. But worst of all, She didn't know that he would one day return to take away his grandson, his heir.
Ben sighed and stood up. He held out his hand and smiled slightly when it glowed, dim blue. Moonlight, Ambrose had said. The teen let it diminish and moved to his mirror. He sure didn't look like a Majesdanian. He looked human. Then again, so did Gwen, but she was still an Anodite. Would he be able to change back and forth from human to Majesdanian?
"Ben?", a female voice said shocking him out of his thoughts. Julie stood in his doorway." I just got back from my tennis tournament and Gwen called me. She told me everything… I thought you might want to talk about it."
He sighed." not really. I'm still getting used to it all. I need some time."
She nodded understandingly. "I understand. When you're ready , I'm here."
He smiled at her and stood up." thanks…wanna watch a movie?"
"Sure."
Ambrose sat alone on his ship, staring into space. He had wanted Benjadek to come with him willingly. Be his companion and Heir, but now he had no choice. The boy was strong and compassionate like His great uncle Moorlok. He was a danger. He had to be destroyed. Just like Moorlok.
"Sva'na ul ma'tek da se Moorlok*.", he said glancing at the royal portrait on the wall. He still missed him, but it had been necessary to kill him. Moorlok was to much of a danger. A lone tear slipped down Ambrose's cheek as he recalled the last thing his brother had said to him.
62 years earlier
He stood over Moorlok, hand raised, ready to end his life. The strong Majesdanian king looked up at him with defiance and utter contempt.
"Sva'na ul ma'tek da se Moorlok.", He said looking at the Kings hard face. "Sva'na ul"*1
Moorlok growled at him and his glow increased." Ma na'k un lat'se. Lat'se."*2
Ambrose sighed, a tear slipping down his cheek." Goura'toul" *3,and with that ,he released the light and Moorlok was dead.
Ambrose sighed softly and turned away from the painting. It would do him no good to dwell on matters past, no matter how somber. The time for emotion and trust had gone.
He had a threat to kill. After all, the boy's ascension was near. Soon he would release his inner light and transform, then he would be a real threat.
He had Barely been fazed by the boys earlier assault, minus the blast of Lithuathium ,which had hurt. He hadn't been expecting that. He'd simply wanted to test the boy. Determine weather he was friend or enemy. So he had held back on them during the fight. Too bad for the boy that next time they met he wouldn't.
Next morning
Ben rolled out of bed happily, a feeling of warmth and tranquility overcoming him. The sunlight from his window Gleamed beautifully ,making him smile .as he made his way downstairs.
"Morning B-", Sandra began, but stopped when she saw him.
He frowned and looked at himself." What?"
She gasped. "You're Glowing."
He looked down and saw that he was indeed glowing, but it seemed to be dim and flickering, then it stopped altogether." Weird…I'll call grandpa Max."
She nodded. "Okay…"
And with that, Ben went into the living room and called Max explaining the glowing. Max told him to call Gwen and Kevin and meet him at the plumbers base.
" So I'll keep having power surges until my…watcha call it?", Ben asked , looking at the nearby plumber, who happened to know a lot about Majesdanians.
"Ascension, yes."
"Great….just great.", he said sighing.
Gwen put a hand on his shoulder and smiled." It's not so bad. I mean at least it's summer, so no worries about hiding it at school."
"Yeah…and if people ask why yer glowin' we'll just say it's glitter.", Kevin said grinning.
Ben glared at him and ,for a moment ,his eyes glowed. "Not funny Kev."
"I thought it was.", Kevin relied smirking.
"and you were wrong.", Ben said grinning.
Kevin felt his heart melt at the other boy's smile.' must be that glow again', he thought blushing. After all ,hadn't he decided that was it. The glow was what made him feel like that about Ben. Right?
Ben noticed his friends blush and smiled.' He's adorable when he blushes.', he thought before realizing it. He then shook his head to clear the thought away. 'no. I an not gay for Kevin. Just no way.'
Gwen stared between the boys and smirked. She knew exactly what was going on. She shared a knowing glance with Max and chuckled under her breath. "Boys…"
"So…what do we do now?", Ben asked looking around at the others.
"Smoothies?" ,Kevin said ,knowing that it would make Ben happy. The boy loved his smoothies, his weird freaky deaky uber mixed smoothies.
"Smoothies.", Ben said in confirmation looking at Gwen who smiled and nodded.
"Alright , Lets go.", she said walking towards the door.
Ben slurped his turnip smoothie and grinned, ignoring the looks he was getting from Gwen and Kevin." Delicious."
"Dude, really? How do you drink that stuff?", Kevin asked making a gag face and taking a sip of his orange smoothie and receiving a nod from Gwen.
" What are you talking about? It's awesome!", Ben responded taking another big gulp and grinning.
Gwen smiled and shook her head. "Only you Ben, only you."
He smiled and tossed the empty smoothie in the trash. As he threw it away he realized that his hands were starting to glow. His eyes widened and he made his way to his friends quickly.
"Uhhh, guys…..", he said quietly so he wouldn't be overheard." I'm starting to glow….."
They stared at him and their eyes widened. The slight glow he had was flickering in and out quickly.
"Time to go.", Kevin said quickly, grabbing his hand and dragging him to the car, Gwen following along.
"Hey Ben…are you glowing?", Cash Sneered purposefully moving to block their path, J.T. joining him.
"I-It's not….Its just….", Ben started eyes wide. He shared a look with gwen and Kevin, asking silently for help.
Kevin, responding to the look, smirked. "Glitter."
Poor Ben…Glowing and such….and mean old Kevin sayin he's covered in glitter.
