OMG we're in Season 2 of AF already! :D I can't believe I got this far! :) Ok so I decided to do this chapter since I won't be here this weekend because of my Camporee so I decided to get this one out of the way while I can. You know how I said a few chapters back that Heaven has Ship? Well I actually forgot about that. XD I'm sorry. Ship won't make any appearance at all in this chapter since this is one of those chapters where Ship could get really hurt…

Edit 4/13/17: And here we are to one of my favorite episodes! :D

He's Back?!

Heaven's POV

We drove to an abandoned warehouse. Once we got there the 4 of us got out of the car.

"Ben are you sure this is the place?" Kevin asked while whispering.

"That's what the tip said," Ben whispered back.

"Since when do you get tips? Kevin's the one who gets tips," I whispered.

"That's what worries me. You don't get tips. You don't have any connections," Kevin whispered arguably.

"Come on Kevin I have connections" Ben whispered.

"Like who?" Kevin asked.

"Um…like Gwen and Hev," Ben said.

"It's true he does know me," Gwen said.

"Yea…" I said.

"Lots of support there you two, thanks," Ben said while Gwen walked past him.

"We could just go and take a look and see," Gwen whispered.

"Yea I mean what can go wrong?" I asked.

We went to the end of the building and Gwen made steps with her mana that we could go up on. We got up to the roof and looked in the window leading inside. We saw Forever Knights down there. It looked like they were pushing boxes from one side of the room to the other.

"Forever Knights," Kevin said while absorbing the ground.

I absorbed the ground also.

"Up to no good as usual," Gwen said.

"Showtime," Ben said while turning into Chromostone.

Ben jumped in the air and crashed down into the window. Then Kevin and I jumped down while Gwen used her mana stairs to come down.

"Alright nobody move," Chromostone said.

The Forever Knights kept doing what they were doing and ignored us.

"Hey did you guys hear us?" Kevin asked.

"I don't think so," Gwen said while putting her hand through the box the Forever Knight was pushing.

"They're holograms?" I asked.

"Good guess," A new male voice said.

Then the holograms of the Forever Knights went off. We saw a green alien in a white suit. He came over to us.

"Magister Gilhil of the Plumbers, Magister Prior Gilhil. I'm the commanding officer for this entire quadrant. You're all under arrest for impersonating officers of the law," Gilhil said while pulling out a Plumber's badge.

Ben then turned back into himself.

"Under arrest for what?" Ben asked.

"Impersonating a Plumber. We're the only law enforcement organization recognized by all signatories of the Milky Way treaty, that makes what you've done an interstellar class felony," Gilhil said.

"Sounds bad," Kevin said with him arms crossed.

"If I were you, I'd keep my big mouth in check," Gilhil said.

"If I were you, I wouldn't threaten a guy who can kick your can halfway up the street and back," Kevin said.

"You feeling froggy son? Then jump," Gilhil threatened.

"And if you're feeling smart, don't," Gwen said while putting her hand on Kevin's shoulder.

Kevin looked down at Gwen then at Gilhil. Gilhil had a smirk on his face like he was daring Kevin to go after him.

"Ribbit," Kevin said while smiling and attacking Gilhil.

Gilhil grabbed Kevin's fist and bent it. Then he grabbed Kevin by the shirt and threw him across the room.

"Stay down son," Gilhil said.

Then Kevin absorbed the metal from the wall and punched Gilhil.

"As much as I'd enjoy going a few more rounds with you I don't have the time," Gilhil said while pulling a gun out.

He shot Kevin. An orange thing came out and had small balls at the end of it. It tied him up, made him float in the air, and turned him upside down. Ben was about to slam on his Omnitrix.

"Don't," Gilhil threatened.

"Do," Gwen and I said.

Gilhil shot his gun and Gwen deflected it. Ben slammed on the Omnitrix and turned into Goop. Goop went on Gilhil and made him throw the gun down. Gilhil was trying to punch Goop but it didn't work. Then Goop wrapped around him and went on the ground.

"You want to talk? Let's talk," Goop said.

We then went back on the roof. Kevin and I were behind Gilhil. Kevin was pacing around near in back of me. The wind was blowing and my hair was blowing to the side.

"I don't see why we have to talk to him," Kevin said as he stood still.

"Because I'm the Plumber officer in charge for this whole section of space," Gilhil said.

"And you know we're the good guys," Ben said.

"What I know is that over the last couple of months I've gotten several reports of you kids passing yourselves off as Plumbers," Gilhil said.

"Our grandfather was a Plumber," Gwen said.

"Max Tennyson, he was a good man, but that doesn't make you Plumbers," Gilhil said before turning to Kevin and I.

He bent down and had his face above ours.

"and you two. You don't even have a claim by blood," Gilhil said.

"Yes we do," I said.

"Our father, our real father was-" Kevin said before he stopped.

Both of us looked to the ground and away from them.

"Kevin/Heaven?" Gwen and Ben asked us.

"Nothing, never mind," Kevin said while crossing his arms.

"Forget it," I said while crossing my arms.

The two of us turned away from them.

"The point is, there's a reason we shut down Plumber operations on earth 5 years ago after Vilgax was destroyed-" Gilhil said.

"You mean after I destroyed him," Ben said.

We then looked at Ben and Gwen again.

"Credit due, but earth is a backwater level 2 planet. Without an intimate threat I can't allow Plumber resources to be wasted here. I've got over 300 inhabited planets under my watch," Gilhil explained.

"Look Magister- can I call you Magister?" Ben asked.

"The other Plumber we met was named Magister too, Magister Labrid," Gwen said.

I seem to remember Kevin telling me about that incident. I was curious one day on how he remet the Tennysons, and he explained what happened.

"Magister is a rank not a name. You pretend to be Plumbers but you know nothing about the job," Gilhil said.

"I've never pretended to be anything," Gwen said.

"Aliens are attacking our planet, we're just fighting to keep it safe!" Ben said.

"I've read a number of reports on your activities. There is no evidence of significant alien activity here," Gilhil said.

"We've seen them, I've wrecked one of their ships," Ben said.

"I've assigned a new magister to this region. He'll check in on earth in the next few months. If you have proof, present it to him and let him take care of Plumber business," Gilhil said.

"A few months?" Ben asked angrily.

"I'm inclined to give you kids a break. Ben you wear the Omnitrix so you already have special dispensation. The Galvan have requested that you not be interfered with in minor matters and the reports I've read indicate that you say you've never impersonated a Plumber," Gilhil said before turning to Kevin and I once again, "but you two."

"Yea what?" Kevin asked.

"What about us?" I asked angrily.

"You got a record. You've done time in the Null Void for a variety of crimes," Gilhil said looking at Kevin.

Then he looked at me.

"And you young lady. The reports I've read indicated you stole alien tech and sold it for a profit," Gilhil explained.

How the heck did he know about that? It was a trade that was sworn to secrecy. I thought for a moment. He must've ratted me out if he gained something from it.

"You did what?" I heard Kevin's voice in my head say.

"Look i'll tell you later," I sent back.

Kevin didn't need to know I broke the law a few times to help mom.

"He's changed," Gwen said.

Ben was staring at me wondering why I did that.

"He did his time. They've been helping us," Ben said.

"They've been impersonating Plumbers," Gilhil said while walking towards us, "Give me the badges you two stole."

"Don't take my badge man. Please," Kevin begged.

"Please don't," I said feeling my eyes start to water.

Kevin was the only one who knew I had a badge. I found it at the house one day and realized it wasn't the one that Kevin carried on him. Which lead me to question how he got it. He encouraged me to have Dad's. I never got the chance to tell Gwen and Ben.

"Now, or you two are going to the Null Void," Gilhil threatened.

We both reached into our pockets and grabbed our badges. We both gave them to him. Then Gilhil deactivated both of them.

"Thank you," Gilhil said. "You're free to go, but if you ever get involved in Plumbers business again- I don't care what Azmuth says- you're all going to the Null Void even you Ben."

Then Gilhil teleported away.

"Is that it? Is this the end?" Ben asked.

It was the next morning and we were at Mr. Smoothy. Ben bought smoothies for us and came over to us. Kevin and Gwen were leaning on the car and I was standing by Kevin. Kevin's eyes were closed and he was leaning forward.

"Cheer up, Mr. Smoothy makes everything better," Ben said while giving a smoothie to Kevin.

Kevin drank the smoothie and a look of disgust went across his face.

"How does turnip and wheatgrass sludge make anything better?" Kevin asked opening the cap on the cup.

Ben gave me a smoothie and I sipped it. Although I was drinking my favorite kind, it still didn't make me feel better.

"Well I like it. Besides it also got ginger in it." Ben said.

"Oh ginger that solves all our problems." Kevin said.

"Seriously Ben Magister Gilhil pretty much put us out of business. What are we going to do?" Gwen asked.

Ben moved to sit between Gwen and Kevin.

"We're gonna keep doing what we've been doing," Ben said as Kevin dumped his smoothie on the cup holder, "Find the aliens, fight the bad guys."

"He said he'd put us in the Null Void," Gwen said.

Ben sipped his smoothie.

"He also said Plumbers never come around here anymore. We'll worry about it when -or should I say if- he ever shows up again," Ben said.

"He took my badge," Kevin said.

"Badges," Ben said wiping his mouth with his sleeve, "we don't need no stinking badges," He said jokingly.

I gave him a glare. He had no idea what those badges meant to us.

"You think this is a joke?" Kevin asked getting up and grabbing Ben by his shirt.

"Kevin let him go," Gwen said putting her hand on Ben's shoulder.

Kevin threw him on the front of the car. Ben fell and so did the smoothies he was holding. The front of the car had smoothie all over it.

"Dude," Ben said.

"I want to be a Plumber ok. When I was little our mom would tell Hev and I stories about our Dad. How he was a Plumber and he did all this cool stuff," Kevin explained.

"I've never met your dad," Gwen said while putting a hand on Kevin's shoulder.

"He passed away when Kevin and I were young," I said leaning against the lamppost I stood in front of.

I closed my eyes.

"I don't really remember him all that much. We still want to be like him though," I said.

"That's why you know so much about the Plumbers and alien technology and everything," Gwen said to Kevin.

"That's why I agreed to help you guys in the first place," Kevin said looking at Gwen, "Mostly."

Kevin went to his car.

"I need my badge back Ben, it's the only thing that matters," Kevin said.

He started to drive off as Ben hopped off the car. We all just stared at him.

"Yea thanks for leaving us here," I attempted to shout at him. "Hey Ben, you mind if I hang with you?"

"Well I was going to go back home but we could do something," Ben said.

"Nah let's just hang at your place. Gwen you want to come with us?" I asked.

"I have something I need to do," Gwen said.

"Ok," I said.

Ben and I decided to walk back to his house.

"So why?" Ben asked.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Why'd you decide to join the team?" Ben asked.

"Same reason that Kevin did," I said before grabbing Ben's hand, "Mostly."

We were walking and didn't say anything. Then Ben broke the silence.

"So what was that about you stealing alien tech when you were younger?" He asked.

I sighed, guess he deserved to know this story.

"Mom got unemployed and we were desperate for money. Mom was doing crappy jobs just to make ends meet. I was 10 at the time and couldn't get a good profit from a job. As I went around the town, I came across a warehouse. I went inside and saw a bunch of weapons that didn't look cheap. Back then, I didn't really know it was alien technology. Argit was there at the time and told me he could help me gain some money by pawning them off. At first it was scary seeing an alien, but it was even more scary thinking of what could happen if I didn't take his offer. He felt a little bad for me, so he gave me all the profit. I didn't realize he knew Kevin till the first mission with you guys," I explained.

It was silent for a moment so I could take a breather.

"Mom questioned how I was able to gain so much money in so little time," I said, "I lied and told her I sold some of my old stuff that turned out to be a profit."

We were still walking. It was silent. I guessed this was a lot for Ben to take in.

"So what about your dad?" Ben asked.

"I don't feel like talking about him…" I said drifting off.

"Well you can't hide the pain. It's better to talk to someone instead of hiding it," He said.

"As Kevin said earlier when we were kids, mom would tell us all about him. There's something I know that Kevin doesn't. Mom told me he was killed by someone on a Plumber's mission but she never said who. She told me not to tell Kevin because he would go and get revenge on him. She was reluctant to tell me, since she thought I'd do the same so she never said who," I explained while feeling tears forming in my eyes.

"That's… wow…" He said a little sadly.

"You're not very good at descriptions are ya?" I asked attempting to laugh.

"Not so much," He said.

We finally got to his house. I looked at the garage and noticed there were no cars in it.

"What are your parents not home?" I asked.

Ben just shrugged. He got a key out of his pocket and opened the door then we went inside. We went into the kitchen and there was a note on the table.

"Ben,

Your mother and I went out we'll be back later. Don't throw a wild party while we're gone. If your girlfriend comes over tell her we said hi.

~Dad

"Oh my god…" He said before his face turned red.

I laughed.

"Let's hang out in your room and watch TV." I said.

We went up to Ben's room to watch TV. We unlinked our hands as he sat on his bed and I sat in the chair. He grabbed his remote and put on Sumo Slammers.

"Really Sumo Slammers?" I asked.

"What? It's a good show! Also there's a marathon on and I missed the first half," He said.

I just rolled my eyes.

"You know how I said I mostly joined because of my father… You can probably guess the other reason I joined…" I said.

He looked at me when I said that. Then he turned the TV volume down.

"It was also because I didn't have any friends… You and Gwen are the only friends I actually have. I do have some others but -most likely- I'll never see them again. You guys actually like me for me and don't think I'm a freak like everyone else. I haven't gone to school since the incident," I explained while drifting off.

*Flashback about 3 years ago*

"I used to go to Madison Elementary School. I signed up with a different last name so no one would know Kevin was my brother. People would've made fun of me if they knew. They would've thought I was just like him. My name there was Heaven Bettes but after an accident with my powers everyone, including the teachers, casted me aside and bullied me," I explained.

"Yo Bettes," A girl about 11 years old said.

She was in a white dress, she had brown long hair and blue eyes.

"Hey Rose," I said.

I was wearing a purple polo and grey slacks with a purple clip in my long black hair.

"So are you ready for that test next period?" Rose asked.

"We had a test? Ugh! I didn't study at all I'm gonna flunk!" I complained.

"When we were walking someone pushed me and I fell. My hand hit a power strip. Because of my powers, the entire schools power went out. Kids surrounded us, yelled at me, and spit at me. My friend Rose was trying to help me, but once they went after her, she said she wasn't my friend and did the same. Then there was this brown haired kid with a white and black shirt on. He offered to help me but I pushed him away. I figured someone bribed the kid to try and help me. I never did catch his name. I still went to school after that, and I regretted it. The kid still tried to help me, but I always shoved him away. No one would be friends with a freak. After about a week of everyone being mean to me, I ditched school. This helped with our money problems since mom didn't have to pay for me to go to school," I explained.

*Present*

"The only reason that no one targeted me after that was because they didn't know where I lived and didn't know my real last name." I explained while rubbing my eyes.

"You were Heaven Bettes?" Ben asked.

"Yea I was. Go ahead make fun of me…" I said while trying not to cry.

"No, I won't. It was wrong of what they did to you. After you left, everyone started to ease up on it and I yelled at them for it. I was that kid who was trying to help you… I actually forgot all about it until you told me. I knew you looked familiar when I saw ya the first time," He explained.

He stood up and came over to me. I gave him a hug and was crying in his chest. He hugged me back and rubbed my back.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone what I told you," I said while sobbing a little bit.

"I promise," He said.

"Thanks Ben. Thanks for caring about me like no one else… Thanks for everything and…" I was about to say.

I was cut off by his lips pressing against my own. He was actually kissing me? I started to kiss back. Then we stopped and pulled apart.

"That was really a nice way of telling me to shut up," I said while blushing.

"You're welcome," He said with a grin.

I started to smile back.

It was nighttime and we were just watching the rest of the Sumo Slammers marathon. I haven't heard from Gwen or Kevin in a few hours.

"Do you think we should go and check up on Kevin?" I asked.

Ben just nodded and turned into Jetray. He grabbed me with his feet and we flew to Kevin's garage. When we got there, we saw a Highbreed making his way towards it. We landed and Ben turned into Humungousaur. I absorbed the ground and went to punch the Highbreed. The Highbreed grabbed me and threw me into the garage. It made a hole and I landed on some boxes. My armor unabsorbed. I looked around and I saw Kevin and Gwen kneeling on the floor. Gwen held Kevin's hand with both of hers, and were in the middle of kissing.

"Yeah sorry to interrupt you guys, but can you please help me up?" I asked.

They quickly stopped and came over to help me up. We all ran outside and saw Humungousaur tossing the Highbreed into the street. He made a hole in the road and we all ran over to where he landed.

"I wouldn't if I were you," Humungousaur said.

Then the Highbreed mumbled something I couldn't understand. We saw a white light and Magister Gilhil teleported back here.

"Didn't take you kids long to get yourself into trouble again did it?" Gilhil asked us.

"Us? We were just-" Humungousaur said before being interrupted by the Highbreed.

"Attacking me for no reason," The Highbreed said.

"He's one of the aliens we told you about. He's attacking the earth," Humungousaur said.

"Sure kid. I want some proof," Gilhil said.

"They attacked me for no reason, they said they were Plumbers," The Highbreed said.

"I've heard enough. You 4 are under arrest and you," Gilhil said before looking at the Highbreed. "I don't know what's going on here, but I'm gonna find out. You're coming with me for questioning."

"I beg to differ," A new voice said.

We all turned to where the voice came from. We saw someone in a grey helmet and a black jumpsuit.

"Nobody's going anywhere, not until I make your powers my own," He said.

Then he blasted us with like black mana. We all hit the ground. The mana was absorbing my strength.

"You promised me that if I help you..." The Highbreed said before passing out.

"I can't be trusted." The male voice said.

I was holding my chest in pain, then everything went black.

My eyes opened to find myself in a building. It looked familiar. We were in a blue containment force field and our hands were chained to our bodies. I looked around me to see Ben was on the end by Kevin, I was between him and Gilhil, and he was by the Highbreed.

"I don't understand what's going on, that's the guy who tipped me off that you all were impersonating Plumbers!" Gilhil said.

"And he scammed big ugly to," Kevin said.

The Highbreed snarled at him.

"Well, he did! Don't snarl at me!" Kevin said.

"I know who he is," Ben said.

"Do you really?" The male voice asked while coming to us.

"You had to be somebody who knows all about the Plumbers and the Highbreed. But most importantly, you have to be someone with a grudge against us. Why don't you take off that dopey mask, Michael!" Ben explained.

"Wait! That's Michael Morningstar?! The creep who tried to steal Gwen from m-" Kevin said while blushing before I interrupted him.

"That creep who stole all those powers from the girls at his prep school?" I asked.

"When you ruined my plan, you nearly destroyed me! But over the weeks, my powers returned, stronger than ever! And so did my hunger. My old method of feeding is no longer sufficient!" Michael explained.

"High school girls too tough for you huh?" Ben asked.

"To the contrary. I need more power than those girls can supply. Michael Morningstar no longer exists." Michael said while taking his mask off, "Now I am Darkstar."

The 3 of us gasped. Mike's face was all grey and wrinkled. His hair was chopped up.

"And here I thought you were cuter…" I said.

"You did this to me and you will feed my hunger," Michael said while absorbing our power.

I started to scream in pain. The rest of them grunted.

"I will take your strength and make it my own until you have no more to give," Michael said.

"If you can reach your Omnitrix maybe Alien X-" Kevin suggested in a pained tone.

"No, if he absorbed all of that power nothing could stop him," Ben said in a pained tone.

"Eventually I'll have it all anyway," Michael said.

"Michael," We heard Gwen's voice say, "Ew I swear you were better looking when we used to go out."

"Laugh while you can. I've got all the power of your teammates plus the Highbreed and the Plumber. How could you possibly hope to defeat me alone?" Michael asked.

"Who anything about alone?" Gwen asked while a bunch of DNAliens came in through that window. "They're pretty mad about you kidnapping their boss."

There were about 100 maybe more DNAliens there fighting Michael. He was trying to absorb them all. Then Gwen came over and broke the rig with a mana blast to the top. We fell to the ground. Kevin and I absorbed the floor then broke our chains. I got Ben out of his and Kevin got Gilhil out of his.

"Thanks kid," Gilhil said.

"What about me?" The Highbreed asked.

"Hang in there," Ben said.

"Too many to absorb," Michael said.

"And the bad news keeps on coming," Gwen said while preparing a mana attack.

She hit Michael across the room while Ben turned into Echo Echo while sending a sonic boom over to him. Gilhil shot him with his laser gun, causing him to fly in the air. Ben turned into Spidermonkey and kicked him down to Kevin. Kevin punched him into the air with both fists again and sent him my way. I hit him with my fists to Ben who turned into Jetray. Jetray shot him down with his laser beams. Then Ben turned into Humungousaur and jumped on Michael, which made the building windows explode and caused Michael to go unconscious. Kevin and I unabsorbed our armor. Gwen covered us with her mana shield. Once the destruction was over, we looked around.

"The Highbreed is gone," Gwen said.

"The DNAliens must've sprung him while we were fighting," Kevin said.

Then we all ran towards Humungousaur and Michael. Humungousaur lifted his foot and turned back into himself.

"You ok man?" Kevin asked.

"Tired," Ben said in a slightly faint voice.

Ben fell and I caught him and lowered him to the ground.

"Sit down and catch your breath," I said.

"Is he ok?" Gilhil asked.

"Everything's spinning... going dim... need... smoothie..." Ben said in a faint voice.

"Yea he's fine." I said sarcastically while smiling.

Ben closed his eyes and passed out.

When Ben got back up we went outside and Michael was in a blue rig.

"You sure that rig will hold him?" Kevin asked.

"It's level 6 technology son. He isn't going anywhere but the Null Void," Gilhil said.

"What about us?" Ben asked.

"I've been giving it some thought. You guys made a difference today," Gilhil said.

"And?" Ben asked.

"Maybe I don't need to reassign good men to this quadrant, maybe they're already here," Gilhil said.

"What's that mean?" Kevin asked.

"You've been drafted. Here are your badges back." Gilhil said while giving Kevin and me our badges back. "And here's one for you." He said while giving one to Gwen.

Ben closed his eyes and put his hand out expecting a badge.

"Don't push it kid, you've already got the Omnitrix. As of now you're the only law in the quadrant. Do a good job," Gilhil said while teleporting away with Michael.

I stood there looking at my badge and smiling. Ben put his arm around my shoulders and smiled. We turned around and saw Kevin walking away.

"Hey where ya going?" Ben asked.

"I've got to tell my mom," Kevin said while holding the badge to his chest.

We all smiled.

"Kevin wait for me! I want to tell her to!" I said while getting Ben's hand off my shoulder.

I was about to run off but I turned to Ben.

"Oh hold on," I said while leaning up and kissing his cheek, "See ya," I said running after Kevin.

End edit 4/14/17: Well that was fun to edit. Usual edits. I also changed some dialogue to actually be somewhat canon. Changed Heaven's past a little bit to make better sense. Changed other dialogue that didn't really make sense.

Word Count:

Before: 4,471

After: 5,279

There we go. :D I just had to update today… I like this episode too much. XD I know most of this was about Heaven and that's because this is her story so most of it would be about her. And you guys can thank me for the Gwevin and the Ben/Heaven kisses. XD It ticked me off that Gwen and Kevin were close of kissing and they didn't so I changed it. XD The next episode is Alone Together where Ben is stuck with the Highbreed. I am planning to stick Heaven in there to. XD That chapter will most likely not come until next Monday. (I don't have school next Monday and I come back from my Camporee next Sunday morning.)

Did you guys like that I gave you more background on Heaven's childhood? I know the kiss Ben and Hev had wasn't that romantic but you know... XD I looked at the Poll I made and most of you voted to have Julie with Alan. One was with Cooper and one with Cash. I actually don't know when I'll have Julie in here so you guys who haven't voted still have time. Maybe at the season finale I'll have Julie and whoever won. So you guys have a lot of time. XD That's it for now. ~Kira~
