Outside the ruins of Stonehenge…

Three teenagers were staring at a map of the area. They were planning their assault against Black Magnus-a NyctoSapien who had not only kidnapped Julie, but also had designs on world domination. And Ben had felt a sample of Magnus' power firsthand. Now they were devising a plan to rescue Julie and stop Magnus from realizing his goal.

"OK, there's the ruins…and here's the castle" Ben said, pointing out the landmarks on the map, which was being illuminated by Gwen's mana.

"So, it's looks like we gotta go thru the ruins to get to the castle…that's where we'll find Black Magnus" Kevin said.

Gwen added, "Julie will likely be there too, Ben. And there's no telling what we'll run into."

"Guys, I know this is dangerous, and if you don't want to go through with this…" Ben said.

"Julie's our friend, too, Ben. You couldn't keep up from helping." Gwen said.

"Besides, I've been itching to hit something since we got here. Now I'll get that chance" Kevin said, smirking.

Ben looked at Kevin and Gwen, who both nodded towards him, showing that they were ready. Ben then said, "Alright, let's move out. It's HERO TIME!"

Inside his stronghold, Magnus was preparing for his midnight marriage with Julie. The mind-control tiara had failed, but there were other ways to bend Julie's will. Churchill, MI6-traitor, came up behind him and said, "Sir, everything is ready for your ceremony. The guards are sweeping the ruins now- in case of unwelcome guests"

Magnus replied, "Excellent. You have served me well, Churchill. I will bestow upon you a very generous reward when I am the ruler of mankind."

Churchill said, "My gratitude is eternal, as is my loyalty to you. But I have another request, if it is your will."

Magnus said, "Speak your desires to me, Churchill. If it is within my ability, I will allow it"

Churchill said, "Well, you know that female that I captured who would interfere in our plans? I would like to have her, for my own pleasures"

Magnus chuckled, then said, "You humans are interesting…Very well-since I have no use for her, you can do with her as you please. In fact, you may have time for your 'fun' before the ceremony"

"That sounds smashing. I'll be back to finalize the details for the ceremony" Churchill said, as he turned and headed out towards the ruins.

The 'Alien Force' had reached the ruins, and we're staking out the area. So far, the area was clear- but Ben saw something that called his attention. "Hey, guys! There's someone here." He called out.

Gwen and Kevin came over to Ben's position, and saw what Ben saw. There was Agent Diana Thatcher, with her hands bound behind her back. Her head was down, as though she were sleeping.

Diana heard something, and her alert senses sprung her to action. Her head shot up, and she began looking around. Ben, Gwen, and Kevin appeared, and she nodded to show them she saw them. But another voice came through the darkness. "You woke up, huh? That's good. I don't think what I wanted to do to you would be any fun if you were out."

Ben whispered to the others, "It's Churchill", as they hid behind the stone pillars. Churchill walked up to Diana, and asked, "I'm going to enjoy this. And I believe, deep down, that you will too." He cupped her chin, and held her face while he forcefully kissed her. Suddenly, he cried out in pain, and broke the kiss. "Why you…you BITCH!" he hissed, and struck her across the face. He struck her again, and then grabbed her medium-length platinum locks. "I wanted to do this the easy way. But now, we'll do this my way", he sneered.

He brought his hand up and held the zipper at the top of her bodysuit. He pulled the zipper down to her navel, exposing a bit of her chest. He whistled, and then said, "I've always wanted to take our relationship to the next level, Diana. But you'd never give me the time of day. Now I am going to be one of the most powerful men on Earth, and you- you are going to be my mistress." Churchill leaned in, and began kissing Diana's neck and chest. He was enjoying himself and was moving to open the top of Diana's suit, that he did not hear Ben enter the area. But he did hear Ben when he spoke.

"That's funny. You English have a very odd description of what it means to be a gentleman" Ben said. Churchill turned, and saw Ben standing a few feet from him. Churchill, quickly thinking, said, "Tennyson! What good fortune. I had just stumbled onto the location of Black Magnus' lair. I also discovered the location of the missing agent, as well. And I do believe that your friend-Julie, I believe- is here as well. The case is solved, and all that's left is to apprehend the criminals involved."

Ben looked at Churchill, and then said, "I couldn't agree more. And since our authority as Plumbers supersedes MI6's authority, you're under arrest, Churchill"

Churchill laughed, and then said, "Arrest? Is that a joke? Tell me, then, what are the charges?"

Ben replied, "Let's start with conspiracy to take over a plane, kidnapping, assault…and that's for starters. But you can do yourself a favor by telling me where Magnus is."

"I must say, your arrogance is stifling. And if I refuse?" Churchill challenged.

Ben smirked, and said, "Well…I learned my lesson from before-because I have backup" At this, Gwen and Kevin appeared, and Churchill, deciding that discretion was the better part of valor, ran from the ruins.

Kevin asked, "We gonna let him run?"

Ben answered, "We know where he's heading- to the castle. And we should free Diana. We'll need all the help we can get."

Kevin walked over to the pillar she was chained to and said "Done." He grabbed the chain, and the metal of the chain covered his hand and upper arm. He then pulled on the chain, which broke it. Diana fell to the ground, and rested on her hands and knees. After a moment, she stood up, zipped up her suit and looked at "Alien Force'. She gave them a benevolent smile, and said, "You children have my gratitude. And Churchill, he has a date with my fist!"

Ben then said, "So why are we standing here? It's Hero Time!"

Churchill rushed into Magnus' private chamber, panting. "Magnus, my lord!" he gasped.

Magnus turned to him, and said, "What is the problem?'

Churchill said, "Those children-Ben and his friends-they are coming. I tried to stop them, but…"

Magnus, with unbelievable calm, said, "I knew they were here, and you have done well to lead them here. I will finish them-and just in time for my wedding."

Churchill said, "You want me to get the others ready?"

Magnus said, "Yes-for our time has come! And man's time is done!"
