Ben POV
As soon as I closed the portal, a wave of people bombarded me.
"It's Ben 10!?"
"I thought you were dead?!"
"You're so hot!"
I ended up using my powers to create platforms in the air so I can get away from them. Most times I wouldn't have done this but I'm supposed to draw attention to myself so this works. I heard shouts of surprise. As I ran above their heads. I didn't manage to get far before I was shot off the platform.
As I landed on the hard ground, I heard voices all around me.
"Is he ok?"
"I told you it would be worthwhile to wait for him here!"
I quickly got back onto my feet and got into a battle position. I looked around and saw two GIW agents heading towards me. I took off the spear off my back and held it in front of me. I heard the citizens around me shouting at me and at the agents. As the agents were running towards me, they took out their guns and shot at me.
I managed to dodge them. I took a glance at the citizens who were surrounding us. I used mana to tear up the cement to form a type of barrier that divided us, the downside is that. I just trapped myself in with these two agents. They shot at me again, and I still managed to dodge, them. They put away their guns and tried to rush me. I managed to fend them off with my spear. One of them backed off and shot at me again and still missed.
"You missed!"
The agent smiled a sly smile.
"Did I?"
I heard the ding of metal and a prick of pain in the back of my left shoulder. I saw the two agents smile triumphantly through my blurry vision. I reached over my left shoulder and pulled out the projectile.
Through my dimming vision, I could barely see that it was a tranquilizer dart that was in between my fingers. I dropped it as my hands became numb and fell onto my knees.
I fell onto my face, I could feel the gravel and the asphalt digging into my cheek. The bitter memory of my first kidnapping made its presence known in my mind. I felt restraints being put onto my hands. The last thing I remember was the feeling of being lifted up.
Time Skip
I sat up straight in a panic when I realized that I didn't know where I was. I somewhat relaxed when I saw that I was in a cell by myself. I began to do a mental check, nothing seemed to be hurting, although my spear was taken away, although I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get it back. Other than that, nothing seemed to be wrong.
I looked around the room for anything, it was a bare room, and an empty house would have more character than this room. I squinted my eyes in an attempt to block out the harsh light, but it was thanks to the light I was able to see the glint of the lens of a camera out of the corner of my eye.
I pretended to not see it and leaned against the wall, with my hands behind my back in an attempt to conceal the green glow my mana will produce.
Closing my eyes, I slowly started to create a portal, as soon as it was wide enough, I threw it to the side, where it widened further
"Come on out guys, this is our chance."
Soon after calling them out, I saw Danny poke his head out before climbing out completely with Rex close behind, they came out with their swords strapped onto their backs, they noticed me immediately and helped me take off my restraints. As much as we wanted to talk to each other, we didn't have a lot of time before they noticed that they had some unwanted visitors.
We nodded to each other silently. Rex went over to the door and used his powers to open it up. Once it was open, I peeked around the door to see that there was no one in the hallway. But there was automatic cameras and blasters in the hallway. The cameras swept side to side but took about 5 seconds with each complete motion that should be enough time for us to effectively avoid the cameras. You really would think a top-secret organization like this would have better security
I motioned for Rex and Danny to get closer to me as we walked out. In usual cases, Danny would have turned into a ghost and taken us to the center, but this place is riddled with detectors that pick up anything related to a ghost.
We walked into the hall and ran to the left, where we could see a door leading to a new section. Rex opened the door and we came face to face with a GIW agent. Rex quickly punched him in the face, effectively knocking him out. I looked at the fallen man in surprise, he was definitely much easier to knock out than we originally thought. Danny dragged the man into a nearby supply closet and closed the door.
We continued going down the hall, avoiding all the cameras. We kept on running into one or two agents, we would knock them out, pat them down for anything and then we would lock them in a nearby room. So far, the plan is going smoothly, so far, we haven't had to kill anyone, although, that might change if we end up getting overwhelmed.
I glanced at Danny and Rex. I don't know if any of us would be able to kill a person, we were heroes, we saved people as a past time. We became the symbol hope for everyone, and now, we might become the symbol of fear for everyone.
I brought my attention to the matter on hand again as Danny and Rex knocked out another pair of agents. Before we could drag them into a nearby room, one of their radios crackled to life.
"Code Alpha, code Alpha, all agents go onto alert, Ben Tennyson has escaped, I repeat, Ben Tennyson has escaped."
We all looked at each other, already knowing that our plan to silently take down the organization already went out the window and was on the way to the other side of the world.
"Well, shit."
