ENJOY and R&R
"At Darkstar's old hideout?" Ben exclaimed in shock. "You mean that old stone castle place?"
"Yep," Kevin replied. "And we're going after 'em."
"Well that's good news considering that the past days, we hadn't found them and now we did," Ben said earnestly. "I miss my cousin."
"I miss her, too," Kevin replies in a soft voice which he hoped Ben hadn't heard. Too late! Ben heard it.
"You what?" Ben asks jokily and turns to Kevin who is blushing uncontrollably.
"Never mind it, Tennyson!"
"Gwen and Kevin sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G," Ben childishly teases.
"Quit it, Tennyson."
Surprisingly, Ben also stops, to Kevin's relief.
At Darkstar's hideout~~
Inside the old, medieval castle which everybody refers to as Darkstar's hideout, there is a huge pod-like machine capable to hold a person and Darkstar is programming it and adding more pieces to it.
"Gwen, could you pass me the voltage divider?" Darkstar sweetly calls to his mind-controlled female host standing in the corner. She has no choice but to follow and hand him the device.
Meanwhile~~
"This is the place," Kevin said solemnly as he puts the car to a halt.
Both teens step out of the car and Ben playfully pretend-play spy and stealthily hides behind trees.
"Quit it, Tennyson."
"Wha-at?" Ben says playfully.
"This is not the time for games," Kevin said in a whisper and pulls Ben down behind a bush beside him.
"Ow," Ben whines as he lands on the ground.
"Quiet."
"Hey Kevin, since when were you the stealthy one?" Ben asks as he observes that his friend had been leading the mission with stealth ever since Gwen was abducted.
"None of your business, now keep it down," Kevin whispers and grabs a plumber telescope and turns on the heat signature scope and looks around. "There are two heat signatures. Darkstar is fixing up some kind of machine."
"What kind of machine?"
"Not sure, but we're going in there."
"Now?"
"Now."
Inside~~
"Now the only thing missing is this," Darkstar pointed out and installed it. "Now, Gwen, please step inside." Gwen steps inside the pod; Darkstar closes it after her and turns on the machine.
Boom
Humungousaur crashes through the huge wooden door. "We want Gwen back!"
"Ha! You are too late," Darkstar pointed to Gwen in the pod. Static circled her in and out of the pod and Gwen didn't look like she could make it. Darkstar, though, puts his hands on two metal insulators attached to the pod and he, too, is circled by static.
"What's he doing?" Humugousaur asks the wooden-absorbed Osmosian.
The static stops and Darkstar releases his hold and takes off his mask. "Yes! It worked!" the once again handsome blonde shouted.
The pod's door opened and the unconscious but not anymore mind-controlled Gwen falls out to Kevin who powered down and catches Gwen in his arms.
"Gwen," Kevin says passionately as he cupped Gwen's face in hands. "Wake up, wake up, please."
Gwen still lies unconsciously in Kevin's arms. "What did you do to her?" Kevin shouts at Darkstar. "What was that machine?"
"That machine wasn't going to kill her."
Kevin puts Gwen down gently and absorbs the rock properties of the floor and holds Darkstar up by his scarf and rants. "Then what does it do?" he asks angrily.
"It was to absorb her power..."
"Herhggg," Kevin slams Darkstar on the wall once again. "You mean she's dead?"
"No, my dear Kevin. As I've told you, that machine wasn't going to kill her; just absorb her power."
"Then why does she look normal, I thought you've absorbed her power?" Ben retorted.
"It's different, something you wouldn't understand," Darkstar replied.
"Your victims look like zombies after you absorb their power, why isn't Gwen like that?" Ben says in a manner tone of voice.
"As I've told you it's a different thing."
Suddenly Gwen floats and glows pink muck to the surprise of everyone; the glow getting brighter and brighter.
"What's happening?" Ben shouts.
