The next day, Ben woke up in that sunny morning. He got up to see who else, Sue Snell from school. But this Sue was anything but happy; Sue had that forlorn look across her face. Something had happened. Ben furrowed.
"Sue?"
"Ben, something's happened to Carrie last night," she said.
"What? What happened?" Ben asked a little concerned.
...
Ben ran from around the block to see news vans surrounding the area. The people were crowding around on what happened; however to most of the natives, they were glad the house collapsed. The mourning parents that woed for their children spat on her grave. Ben pushed the people out of the way to get a closer glympse, he doubted for what he heard.
"Please excue me, please let me through," said Ben, hurriedly trying to get through the mass - until...lying at his eyes was the massive rubble of wood and stone. Nothing alive was underneath. The parents jeered at the girl who once lived here. Ben, Gwen, Kevin, Sue, and Tommy were disgusted on how the people were acting. Ben could transform into Rath right now, but doing that would only resultingn of him stooping to their level.
Ben was hurt. He blamed himself for this, Gwen put a hand on his shoulders and comforted him.
...
Ben and the rest of the Tennyson family spent their money to attend a funeral for their fallen friend. No one in town showed up, which was a damn shame. Ben was urging to use the Omnitrix on the town seeming that Carrie's gravestone was written in red which read: "Carrie White Burns in Hell". Gwen felt the same way; a few people nearby were picking fun at the Tennyson's calling them, "The New Whites". They would also be calling Ben, "Neo-Carrie". As Ben placed the flower on the bed, a lone tear snaked down on his face.
"It's all my fault," said Ben.
Gwen had put a hand on Ben's right shoulder, "It's not your fault, Ben."
"But..."
"Carrie loved you that's all that matters," said Gwen.
Max and Agent Six also placed some flowers on the bed, but Six had a letter to put down. A few students who picked on them also noticed a guy in a green suit as well as other company saying their goodbyes to her. They didn't understand why.
"So what happens now, Six?" Max asked.
"I don't know," he said, "All I know is that whoever did this..."
"It was Margaret," Ben said from out of the bloom.
"Ben..."
"It was her, it was all her!" Ben yelled, "Her, and this stupid fucked up TOWN!" Ben roared angrily as his Omnitrix flashed in an emerald green light. This did not result to him transforming, but it did leave some townsfolk to be pretty spooked. Knowing better at what happened in the high school, they did not want to repeat the process by making fun of Ben. They had no idea whaty he was capible of, nor do they want to find out.
Gwen hugged him telling him that things were going to be alright. But Ben disagreed.
"No, everything won't be the same again," he said, "A flower blooms in the Summer, but it whilters and dies in the winter. How am I suppose to live on, Gwen?"
"Then you'll wait 'till Spring where life thrives again,"she said, wiping Ben's tears, "I promise you that everything's going to be okay."
Ben smiled and hugged Gwen tightly.
After the Tennysons finished saying what they needed to say, they departed after they said their final goodbyes. Ben looked at the tombstone again before he got in Kevin's car and drove away.
THREE MONTHS LATER
In Bellwood, Ben and Gwen were sitting on the benches sipping on smoothies. Ben had lost the Omnitrix and gained a bulky, green gauntlet like device called the Ultimatrix. He was just getting used to it by now and thus wanted nothing more but to relax with his friends.
Rex was busy with trying to handle against some evos reemerging from the Forever Knights. They were having a great time overall. Crime was low and everything was bright.
Kevin was tyign in some wry jokes here and there. Most of them were pretty cruel to Ben, earning Kevin a slight glare from the teen hero and a slap to the back of the heads by Gwen.
"What? I was only kidding," said Kevin.
Gwen sighed, however, something inside Ben had been triggered. he looked down at his cup.
"Ben?"
"Tennyson?" Kevin finished, a little concerend for his friend.
Ben looked at his friends and sighed, "Nothing."
"Ben..."
"Yes, Ben is something troubling you?" Ben, Gwen, and kevin all turned around to see the man who appeared in a flash of blue light. When the light died down stood the one and only...
"Professor Paradox?" Ben said.
"You're still thinking about her, are you?" he asked.
Ben, now not surprised by Paradox's omnicient abilities sadly nodded, "It was tragic Paradox."
"The entire town just spat at her like she was nothing but a mark on the road," said Gwen.
"It's something that I am the most ashamed of man," said Kevin.
"I know it is...and isn't," said Paradox.
"What do you mean?" Ben asked.
Paradox gave a virtuous smile hinting to the Alien Force of you know who.
...
"Is she going to be okay, Trunks?" a boy asked.
"I don't know Gohan, she looked pretty bad though. I think the woman that was with her was in the worse shape of them all - even Buu wasn't that stupid," said another.
Carrie opened her eyes slowly, her conciousness slowly coming back. Her vision was a blur at first, but soon cleared outto the point of her seeing two boys. One boy had black spiky hair, while the other had a which had a light violate hair. They were both muscular for their age. When Carrie White finally got up, she jerked to see the two boys.
"Hey look, Gohan, she's alive!" the boy named Trunks laughed.
Carrie screamed in terror making the two boys to scream with her.
