Chapter 14
War on a Planetary Scale
"I am sorry honorable Leader of the Grand Council we must take our leave, we thank you exponentially for this information." Rook said before leaving with Ben. "Go now Ben and Rook, for the fate your planet is hanging in the balance." Daah said silently, sitting on her throne in the lonely room. Ben and Rook passed by where the ship was docked; they could see Alex was standing there waiting. "I'll wait here with Alex; I'll let you deliver the news." Ben said giving Rook a quick kiss.
Rook came back not long after with sadness on his face. The three got everything loaded and strapped in for takeoff. "I'm sorry babe, I know it's hard to say good bye." Ben said putting his head to Rook's. "I never get to see them, I miss my family Ben." Rook said looking up at Ben with tears in his eyes. "I know you do babe, I know." Ben said starting to tear up. "Sorry Rook." Alex said looking over at the two. "Shut up Alex, your selfishness is already going to be a burden in this war." Ben said with ice as looked at Alex. The three said nothing to each other the whole trip back to Earth.
Rook landed the PROTO-truk at plumber HQ. and the three ran to Max's office as fast as they could. "Ben, Rook, Alex, by now I'm sure you know." Max said pulling up radar showing Incursean ships surrounding Earth. "Activating planetary shields." Said a random plumber pressing buttons on a large device. "Red alert, red alert, this is not a drill, I repeat this is not a drill." Said a voice over a communication system. "Where do you want us Grandpa?" Ben asked. "Ben I need you to speak to the people, you're a celebrity they should listen to you." Max said. "Everyone else come with me." Max said leaving with Rook, Alex, and a group of plumbers.
Ben went to speak to the people where Undertown had been recently discovered due to a mass evacuation. At this point Attea and her Calaveras legion broke through the planetary shield. Max and the other plumbers where trying to come up with a plan to defeat the Incurseans. "We have to go for Milleous himself, we take him out we win!" Alex yelled. "I actually agree with Alex, I see no other option in this situation. We are currently at threat level 5, and the planet's nations are raising defcon levels. If we do no act we will not have to worry about the Incurseans destroying Earth." Rook explained. "The planets nations are currently deploying all armed forces available; they're no match for the tech level of the Incurseans. We have to act now." Max said. At this point Ben returned from addressing the people. "Ben how did it go son?" Max asked. "Not so well." Ben said. "Well it's decided we'll take our last ships and assault Milleous' flag ship." Max said looking around the room. "Alright let's go!" Ben said. "No son, until your Omnitrix is working right again I need you down here on the ground." Max said before boarding his ship.
The last defense of Earth exited the atmosphere and began assaulting the flag ship. The normally dark space was lit up by thousands of laser flashes and explosions. Ship after ship exploded into dust, many good plumbers lost their lives that day. Rook's ship was hit as he made a call to Max. "Magister Tennyson my ship is hit." Rook said as he thought of Ben. "Alright son can you make it planet side?" Max asked. "No, but we can still make a difference." Rook said turning his ship towards Milleous'. "Rook what are you doing?" Max called out. At this point Ben came out from his hiding spot on the ship. "Ben, you stowed away?" Rook asked relieved to see him. "You didn't think I was gonna' let you guys hog all the glory did you?" Ben asked with a playful smile. "Floor it babe." Ben said with a smile. "Consider it floored babe." Rook said with a smile and pressing a few buttons. "Alex, I'm sorry I yelled at you." Ben said looking over at his friend. "No worries dude, it's all behind us." Alex replied. "Ben?" Max asked upon hearing the three. "Ben what are you doing?" Max asked. "You boys don't have to do this!" Max yelled. "Don't worry Grandpa." Ben said before the ship plowed into Milleou's ship in a fiery explosion. "BEN!" Max yelled with tears forming.
From inside the flag ship Ben in the form of Bloxx let Rook and Alex out of his dome shape. Max and the rest of the plumbers geared up for one last attack on the Incursean fleet. "This is for Ben!" Max yelled as the plumbers engaged the fleet. "Ok guys let's find Milleous." Ben said as the three went towards the command center. "Well hey there froggy." Said mockingly to Milleous. "What, Tennyson?" Milleous said in disbelief. "Get those three!" Milleous shouted. "I'll take the three on the right." Ben said turning into Four Arms. "Make that four." Ben said correcting himself. "Milleous is mine." Alex said marking his prey. "And who is this runt?" Milleous asked sarcastically. "I'm a ghost, the ghost of a dead child who never knew what it was like to grow up with his parents." Alex said gearing up for battle. "Look kid you can take your mommy and daddy issues somewhere else." Milleous said a little confused. Alex got a crazy look in his eyes as he began to assault Milleous with magick. Ben noticed something was different about Alex; his normally blue colored magick was now black. Milleous was on the ground suffering and squirming in pain. Ben took Milleous' communicator and imitated his voice saying "This is the grand Emperor Milleous light of the deathless Incursean Empire, Earth scum has boarded the flag ship all units fire on the flap ship, ah screw it!" Ben finished up by destroying the device. Alex was looking darker and darker, his eyes began to glow red and Milleous was in the corner rocking himself back and forth as Alex planted horror after horror into Milleous mind. "Alex stop, we don't torture fallen enemies!" Ben yelled. Rook grabbed Alex trying to hold him down. "He will pay for my suffering!" Alex said in a dark voice. "Alex calm down friend." Rook said hopelessly.
On Revonnah Maju Daah was witnessing the whole ordeal. When Daah heard Alex going into his dark state she nearly collapsed. Daah entered Alex's mind to try to calm him. A spark of white light came into Alex's eyes. The darkness receded and Alex came back to the world, as he blacked out. Milleous' ship had sustained too much damage and began to plummet back to Earth. Ben tried to contact Max, and the plumber ships kept attacking the flag ship. "Ben? You guys are alive?" Max asked in disbelief. "We won't be for long if we can't get this ship under control." Ben said worriedly. "Ben you're coming in to hot, pull up!" Max instructed. "This will not be easy." Rook said at the controls. The ship finally slowed slightly and landed hard to the ground sustaining minimal damage. Emperor Milleous you are under arrest for invading a planet with intent to conquer." Rook said slapping cuffs on the Incursean. Attea and few of her lackeys showed up as the plumbers came to Ben's aid. "Surrender you're out numbered." Max said with plumber ships hovering above. "Look a little higher." Attea said with a devilish smile. Incursean ships were hovering over the plumber ships. "Here's what's gonna' happen, you're gonna' leave this planet and never return." Milleous mocked. "Or what?" Ben asked holding his ground. "Imbecile!" Psychobos mocked as he pressed a button as an Incursean ship dropped a To'kustar to the ground. "One Way Big, so what." Ben said not grasping the idea. "Idiot they're mutated and feral." Psychobos said annoyed. To'kustars began dropping all over the Earth doing the bidding of the Incurseans. Ben dropped his head in defeat. "If I see you within a parsec of this system my mutated To'kustar pets are gonna' destroy anything and everything you ever cared about." Milleous said to a defeated Ben. "No I won't leave!' Ben protested. "Ben I already thought I lost you once, at least this way I'll know you're safe." Max said trying not to cry. Ben was locked into a deep space capsule to be blasted off the planet. "You come back to me, come back to me safe." Rook said to Ben crying. "I will, I swear I'll come back. I need you to protect the people, do whatever you need to do." Ben said holding back tears and giving Rook a long kiss. "Alright enough get back." An Incursean soldier said as he closed the pod.
With that the capsule took off and Ben was gone. Rook fell to his knees crying. Rook and Max just held each other as they wept. "We'll get him back son, we'll get him back, I swear it." Max said trying to comfort Rook. Rook noticed Alex lying on the ground still unconscious. "I have to get Alex out of here; they will kill him if they get him. Rook picked up Alex and through all of the commotion escaped; Rook got himself and Alex to a safe place and tried to contact Gwen.
Rook told Gwen where to meet him and Alex who was still unconscious. Rook was at a secret plumber safe house with Alex when there was a knock at the door. It was Gwen and Argit. Rook opened the door and they stepped in but there was also another person, someone Rook was not so happy to see. "What is he doing here?" Rook hissed as he stared down Kevin. "Regardless of what he's done to us we need him, we will need as many people as we can get." Gwen said to a seething Rook. "Fine, but a single problem from you and I will throw you to the frogs." Rook said glaring at Kevin. "Thanks for the welcome wagon." Kevin said sarcastically.
