Ben POV
"It's time to wake up young Tennyson."
I opened my eyes great difficulty as the light was turned on. I put the pillow over my head as a sign that I want to sleep longer. I heard a chuckle from Azmuth.
"If you don't get up in the next 10 minutes, you won't be able to catch the next transportation to earth."
I shot up and stared at Azmuth. He merely stared at me back and motioned for me to get up. I quickly got out of bed and scrambled after him. He led me to a bathroom where I cleaned up in a hurry.
I walked back out and continued to follow Azmuth. He led me to a place where there was a large circle on the floor.
"Wait here, this is going to take you to Bellwood, do you want to contact your friends so they can pick you up?"
"Sure."
He gave me a plumber badge and I called Kevin. Kevin's tired face popped up on the screen.
"What's up?"
"I'm going to be in Bellwood in about 30 minutes."
I looked over at Azmuth for confirmation and he nodded his head. I looked back at Kevin who rubbed his face with one hand.
"Dude, its 3 in the morning."
"I'm sorry, I just need you to wake up Igris so he can come and pick me up."
"Got it."
I heard Kevin grunt as he got out of bed before he cut off the call. I handed the badge back to Azmuth and waited for the materials to be put on the circle and the coordinates to be inputted. 15 minutes into waiting. Azmuth answered another call from Kevin and handed it to me.
"YOU OWE ME TENNYSON!"
"What why, what happened?"
"What happened is THAT FRIGHT KNIGHT WAS GUARDING HIS ROOM!"
I grimaced, from what I saw, Fright Knight is very serious about protecting his king. Very serious. I doubt he let Kevin even be in the same hall as Danny's bedroom. I rubbed the back of my neck and shrugged my shoulders.
"Sorry?"
"Sorry doesn't even cut it, Tennyson, you owe me!"
"Yeah yeah, I get it."
"I was able to talk to Igris after I woke him up from my screaming, he'll be there with a plumber badge to find you. Where are you going to be?"
"At the plumber's base in Bellwood."
"Got it, see you in the morning."
Azmuth hung up and we waited in silence. I started to bounce on the balls of my feet as I waited for the transportation team to come. The room was cold and I started to rub my arms for some sort of heat.
I wish I had my jacket, not only for the warmth but the comfort that it brought me. The one day I don't bring my jacket with me, I end up getting hurt, sleeping for days and here in this cold room wishing for my jacket. I guess the bright side is that it's waiting for me at home.
"Ah yes I almost forgot, young Tennyson, here are the clothes we found you in. You have time to change into them if you like?"
I looked over at Azmuth there he had my clothes right next to him. I looked down at my attire. I would wear all black clothes and be cold, or I can be barefooted as I stand here in sweat pants and shirt and be cold.
Sighing, I walked over to Azmuth and picked up my clothes. Without a word, he pointed at a room for me to go into. I walked to the room and got quickly dressed, already feeling warmer now that I wasn't barefooted anymore.
I walked out of the room and smiled when I saw that the transportation team was there and were ready to go.
"Ah there you are, well it's time to go, it's been a pleasure to see you again Ben. Although it wasn't a pleasure to deal with the trouble that comes along with you."
I smiled and patted Azmuth's back twice. He looked at me with a somewhat offended face.
"Did you just there, there me?"
I smiled and ran over to the pad.
"It's supposed to make you feel better, thank you for everything Azmuth. I hope I can see you again."
"Oh, I'll be counting the days."
He rolled his eyes and turned around, I still managed to see his small smirk as he did so though.
There was a blast of blue light and I was standing in the Bellwood plumber base. I looked around as I saw plumbers rushing around the room despite the ungodly hour that it is. As soon as I arrived, multiple people came up to me, asking me who I was, and then proceeded to freak out when I told them who I was.
I was in the process of being introduced to rook, a rookie when a blaring red light turned on along with an alarm.
"Unknown life form detected, unknown life form detected!"
"Oops?"
I turned around and saw a tired looking Danny in his pajamas standing behind me with my jacket in his hand. As soon as all the plumbers saw him, they freaked out. They took their guns out of their holsters and aimed it at Danny.
"Who are you?!"
"What's your name?!"
"What are you doing here?!"
I quickly stood in front of Danny to block him from any oncoming shots from the plumbers, I put my hands in front of me as I tried to calm them down.
"Whoa, chill, he's with me, he's just here to pick me up!"
They looked reluctant to put down their guns and didn't put them down for another 10 seconds until they relaxed. I turned around to Danny and smacked him on the head somewhat hard.
"Ow! What was that for?!"
"For not thinking things through! How would you react if someone just appeared in your castle with no warning?"
He rubbed the back of his neck nervously and looked at me.
"I would want to shoot them too?"
I sighed and rubbed my eyes. I'm not even with Rex yet and they're already doing questionable stuff. I relaxed and opened my mouth.
"Come on, let's just go to the castle."
He nodded his head in agreement and formed a portal for us to go through. I heard some shouts of surprise before I quickly jumped in with Danny close behind me. When we were on the other side, Danny handed me my jacket and we walked to our separate rooms as I put it on.
"Well see you later, I'm going back to sleep."
I said goodnight as Danny walked away yawning. I walked into my room where I laid there for a couple of hours as I waited for the rest of the castle to wake up to face the new day with me.
Around 7 in the morning, I heard Fright Knight greet someone as he let them into Danny's room.
I got out of bed and went to Danny's room after being let in by Fright Knight. I rose an eyebrow when I saw that it was Tucker who was standing over Danny's bed as he slept. I thought it was Rex.
I lunged for Tucker as I saw him raise his hand above Danny with something metallic in his hand.
"Aarrghhh!"
