This story was from Gwen's point of view but did it even came to your mind what exactly has happened in that universe. How exactly Gwen died? How did Hex know that she was time lost Gwen? Why Hex was foolish enough to show that book to Gwen rather than hiding it safe? What happened after Gwen returned back?
This time let's see this episode from Hex's point of view.
Time Heals - The other side
The complete planet is now under Hex's control. everybody who tries to go against him was dead including Max Tennyson. After Max, there was only one big problem Gwen. Although she was not that much powerful, she was able to deduce most of Hex's steps in advance, maybe because of her knowledge. It was very important to get rid of her fast. So, he planed a trap for her and got her killed by Chamcaster. Charmcaster always wanted to do it herself, so it was her greatest wish come true. After that winning the planet was easy.
On a nice afternoon, Hex was busy reading from a book in his room, when something behind him moved, it was almost like some footsteps. He gazes behind to find a hooded figure. It was not hard for him to recognize the hooded figure as he had already seen it thousands of times. Hex smiles a little, "One more has come", he said smiling, "From which dimension did you came?"
The hooded man uncovered his face, the man's face was exactly identical to the Hex's face, almost as if watching a mirror. "Whichever dimension I came from, I am here to help you", the man replied.
Hex smiles widely on this, he closes the book in his hand, "This is new, usually different versions of me come to me asking for help. You are the first one who came to help me.", he said with a very interested tone.
"Maybe because our enemy is the same", the man replied. "Gwen"
Smile from Hex's face got erased completely, "Continue", only one word he said.
It was the other man's turn to smile now. "Gwen traveled from my dimension to yours and she is after that", he said pointing towards the book on Hex's hand - 'ARCHAMADA'. "Don't let her have it, kill her before that"
Hex looks at the book in his hand, then again towards him, "She came from your timeline. Then, she is your problem, not mine."
"She is in your timeline, means your problem", the man replied, "Like it or not, but you are me actually. That's why would be hard for me to watch you fall down from such a height. So, I came to warn you. Now it's up to you, what you want to do"
There was a big smile on the man's face and hard anger on Hex's face.
The man came near to him, "If you don't want to do something about it, then no issues, but I am sure, she would definitely do something about it.", saying the last sentence he disappears.
Hex's Library
He was sitting on his library chair when he saw Gwen coming and looking for the book. His other self was telling the truth this means. "May I help you find something?", he said calmly. "Sorry, it's the one book I don't lend up". He kept the book in his hand, from where she can clearly see the title.
There was a different reaction from her than he had expected, she was a little shocked, "You aren't surprised o see me?", she asked.
"To the contrary, I was waiting for you to show up. After all, you are time lost Gwen", he replied still very calmly.
Before their conversation could move forward, with a loud entry Charmcaster landed between them.
"Are you two done talking? because I am going to kill her again", she roared.
"You must learn patience my dear niece", he commented.
But as if she would listen. She sends Kevin to attack her.
Hex noticed everything very carefully. How first Gwen tries to talk to Kevin to regain his consciousness and when it didn't work she push him away and then created a hole in the ground to run away from here.
"You little fool", Hex shouted. Charmcaster was spoiling his plan, but this Gwen is clearly more clever and could be more dangerous too. It is necessary to get rid of her fast and he knows exactly how to do it.
As Charmcaster walk away through the door, he kept the book pressed to his chest and went near the hole which Gwen had just created. The hole was cut sharp with a strong beam of magic. This intensity of power could cut many floors. Clearly, she can be more powerful than she showed just now. He jump inside the hole and calmly landed on the floor.
In the dungeon, he landed when the fight was going on. The book was in his hand and eyes directly at Gwen. She was still fighting against Kevin and intentionally keeping her hits light. Maybe a real estimate of her power can be found if she will fight Charmcaster. He was so focused on her that he completely forgets about Ben, who was there only. Ben hit the ceiling, from where rocks fall on him. He got hurt by the rocks and the book fell out of his hands. He felt little bearable pain on his shoulder but decided to act being unconscious. He kept his eyes closed, although he felt a bean of magic come near him which took the book away. This Gwen could be powerful but definitely lack courage. He always stays near her with the book she couldn't find enough courage to try to take it until now. Finally, moving to the later part of the plan.
He heard the voice of Charmcaster getting up and her rock monsters follows behind. Time to end the act, he open his eyes and got up from those piles of rocks. Ben has also transformed back to human and they both were talking, which he was not able to hear from the distance. Then Gwen ran away from there towards the side cabinets and again use his Omnitrix to transform. He let Charmcaster handle him and went behind Gwen. He heard each and every word of the spell that she muttered. When she reached the last line of the spell, he came in front of her to attack with his staff, but exactly as he planned, she finish the spell and disappeared.
It was exactly as he wanted, exactly as he planned from the starting. He laughs out very loud. From the start, he was helping her to get the book but acted as if he was trying to resist. If he wouldn't have acted like this then definitely she would get suspicious. Now she thinks that she fairly defected him but in truth, he was the winner. He was able to deceive her exactly as he wanted.
Hex returned to the place of the fight to find Charmcaster standing there and BEn chained to the wall in human form.
"Why were you laughing like that?", Charmcaster ask.
Before he could reply, another question came towards him from Ben, "Where is Gwen?"
Satisfaction inside Hex was clearly visible on his face when he replied, "Gone, forever".
Ben almost tries to run towards him, but his chains were strong enough to not let him do it, "What did you do to her?", he almost shouted.
But Charmcaster was louder than him when she shouted, "Why did you kill me? I wanted to kill her myself"
"I didn't kill her, my dear niece. You did", he said slowly and move around to return back.
He started walking towards his chamber, he could still hear Charmcaster walking behind her, still talking something he didn't even try to listen to. From distance, he could hear the voice of chain movements also, but all this doesn't matter. He had succeeded.
Hex's other version was fool enough to not take care of Gwen earlier, but Hex isn't' He knew very well the dangers of leaving her alive. But what he can't accept is that his other version is trying to use him as a pawn. Hex knew his schemes very well. He wanted Gwen to either die here or stay here forever, never to return back to his dimension. Killing her wouldn't be that hard for Hex but rather than killing, he decided to send her back as a return gift to him.
Hex of all other dimensions should respect him, and if they don't they will get a bite of their own medicine.
Please comment and tell me, do you like this idea? Also, I am thinking of a multi-chapter story of Gwen spending more time in this dimension. What if Hex had hidden the book cleverly. A lot of action can happen and of course, we will know how Gwen died and where are others. Tell me if you are interested in this. Should I write?
Please comment. Your comments will surely make my day.
