Chapter 4. Finding the Hell
Max was at the moment wondering how he was going to protect his Granddaughter from whatever was in there with them if how it attacked as want given this thing didn't waste time in killing its prey but what was worse was the fact that it was going way above the normal human speed so they were dealing with a alien or a attempt of alien life this thought lead Max back to why they were there Ben if that was a experiment of this place then the Omnitrix would of had to be involved so Ben was and Max knew that whatever these guys had done Ben probably didn't agree with it but at the moment Max could only see Ben's worried face somewhere in here as he dodged the creature while sending it sarcastic comments that brought a soft smile to his face before he continued his search
"Huh Grandpa I think this computer is still huh oh god" Gwen said having walked a bit away to check out a laptop that was opened only to step back when she caught sight of another body this one looked like it had been ripped to pieces as whoever killed him tried its best to make sure he was dead proven even more by the fact that the man's heart was showing through his chest with a hole literally punched through the heart
"Okay ignoring that let's see about this computer" Max said pulling the computer closer to him as he booted it back up then he noticed several logs on it and clicking the first one the video started showing the man lying dead by their feet with white walls behind him and a white lab coat on
"Subject has been captured as per requests without the family even knowing we had to drug the Grandfather with a bit of a overdose but other then that the mission was fine and know Subject one has been obtained" the Doctor said as the image of Ben lying asleep on a bed inside a cell as shown on screen
"Ben" Gwen said leaning toward the image but it soon disappeared
"We will begin tests tomorrow once we know the drugs have left the subjects body till then we have covered up his machine with a thick metal plating that only I have the key for it but hopefully we will be able to remove the Omnitrix as it's called from the Subject and be able to learn how it works" the Doctor said before the screen went dark and quickly Max clicked the next video which was labeled day 5 week 1
"Subject has been well obnocess he seems to think he is invincible but maybe after today that will stop today HQ has given us the go ahead to try and remove the machine with force so to do so we will be using a mechanical arm to pull the Subjects arm out of its socket hopefully once the arms functions have been destroyed the machine well disconnect" the doctor said and before either of them could fully process what he said the video ended and started again
"This is incredible although while Callins method was rather brutal it had the needed results that sent our techs all over the place it seems that if the subjects body gets overly damaged then the machine will literally repair the damage to its best ability although myself and the other doctors were still forced to go in there and completely reattach the subjects arm back to his body and stable the tissue back together but other then that this is incredible" the doctor said taking note as he talked not noticing as both Gwens and Max's faces went pale Ben had lost his arm then before they could do anything the next video started it was dated month 3 week 6 day 5
"Today we tried to see how fully the machines healing capabilities were but over our testing we have found out that its healing seems to have some ramifications the subject has gotten very cold at almost all times and what's more his skin has turned a almost pasty grey in fact he is starting to look more skeletal and small then when we first captured him in fact heh he's starting to look a bit like Frankenstein with all of the stitches and staples in him huh we will have to start testing on long term injury" the doctor said as the screen turned off and then back on although know the Doctor seemed worried
"Today has been trying it seems the subject has started to have mental breakdowns from the pain and hunger we have been putting him through heh in fact I swear he at one point looked at one of our scientists and licked his lips" the doctor shivered as both Max and Gwen grew worried
"No matter we will just increase his food a little bit and also add more calming drugs into its system" the doctor said and the way he said it really ticked Gwen off but when the screen came back on the doctor was looking around frightened with blood dripping off of him
"Damn it damn it Callins you idiot he messed up he was just supposed to hold the prod and electrocute the subject but no he decided to slam the prob down on that darn machine while the electricity was running I don't know what happened after that there was a crack I think then Some kind of explosion then next thing I know Callins dead on the floor with his throat ripped out and the Subject free from his restraints" here the doctor paused and paled
"Huh that smile heh it sent shivers down my spin as the subject slammed into the glass over and over huh we thought we were protected we thought the glass wouldn't break but then it created some kind of glass sword over it's arm as it slammed into the glass chipping it away and quickly I ran as the glass broke and the Subject escaped" the doctor said and both Gwen and Max shared a look
"It huhh I saw it. It had charged into the halls after me cutting everyone down and that smile that creepy smile always plastered on its face I locked myself in here the doors made twenty kilos of steel heck I don't even think I can get out" the Doctor said before a pair of glowing green eyes appeared behind him this caused both Tennyson's to lean forward was this Ben what happened to him
"Hehehehehahhahha wwwelewell ththhthats googofoood to heehear Ddddoc" Ben said and his voice it repeated glitched changed between itself the sound caused Gwen to jump back holding her ears at her cousin's voice it sounded almost possessed
"What no please I have a family children please you you wouldn't kill me riright I mean you're supposed to be a hero right Ben Ben" the doctor said backing up and both Max and Gwen watched as Ben's right eye changed from normal while yes glowing green before it seemed to bleed out its green turning changing till they heard a very familiar sound of the omnitrix as its symbol appeared inside Ben's eye
"Yyeyuueou should have ththtought of that bebbebefore you killed me" Ben screamed before with a snarl he rushed toward the man who screamed as his body fell as they heard the sound of his skin being penetrated by something sharp over and over again then it grew silent way to silent then they heard laughter an almost insane laughter
"Oh god what please no what have I iiiiii done hehehehhe I shouldn't have I I yyeysyysyyes Hehehe what's wrong with kill kill kill kill Me heh Grandpa Gwen" Ben's voice sounded broken it was all over the place as if not even his voice was spared
"Where are you I need I need to no no I'm I'm a monster heheheheahah I'm a monster Hahahhahah I'm a monster I'm a monster" Ben repeated and repeated before they saw him standing up twitching his eyes glowing in the darkness as he looked on it the camera there was blood dripping down his mouth along with several tears all over him cuts scars stitches just seeing this caused the already flood of tears that had began rolling down Gwen's face to increase
"I I can't be a monster I I was supposed to I was supposed to Hehehehahhaha no I can't be I can't" Ben said as he lefted something then with bang Ben disappeared from the camera making Gwen yelp as she saw her cousins blood coat the camera then almost carefully a hand grabbed a hold of the table as Ben's face was raised to show a hole in the middle of his chest
"I I can't die I no please no" Ben whispered falling over and for the rest of the video all they could hear was Ben crying before with one pale hand he clicked off the recording
"Grampa Max" Gwen asked with tears streaming but Max was silent staring at the screen blaming himself then he turned around ignoring the doctor's body even when he stepped on his leg and broke it he kept walking
"Come on Gwen we need to see if we can still get your cousin there there has to be a way" Max said and nodding Gwen followed only for both to pause as music started drifting through the place (monster by imagine dragon) and Ben's voice started to sing
Ever since I could remember
Everything inside of me
Just wanted to fit in (oh oh oh oh)
They started to follow the noise hoping to find Ben but each time the direction seemed to change
I was never one for pretenders
Everything I tried to be
Just wouldn't settle in (oh oh oh oh)
If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
Gwen ran ahead leaving her Grandfather behind as he tried to keep up
And if I seem dangerous
Would you be scared?
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
Gwen was already shaking her head as she ran forward the sound was closer she could feel it
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger
Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest
Do I have to run and hide? (oh oh oh oh)
I never said that I want this
This burden came to me
And it's made it's home inside (oh oh oh oh)
Gwen froze she had entered a room where the sound was coming from and there in the middle of the room was the small form he was covered in some kind of blanket that had decayed already it was threadbare even though he was looking into a mirror as he sang looking into his eyes before he looked up straight at Gwen through the mirror as he nearly whispered
If I told you what I was
Would you turn your back on me?
And if I seem dangerous
Would you be scared?
Gwen slowly moved forward closer to him as he sang
I get the feeling just because
Everything I touch isn't dark enough
If this problem lies in me
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
Gwen was right behind him and carefully she turned him around so he was know looking at her as he sang
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger
Gwen slowly bent down closer to him he was so short know he barely stood to her chest
I'm only a man with a candle to guide me
I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me
A monster, a monster
I've turned into a monster
Slowly Gwen leaned forward and hugged him carefully ignoring how she could feel the bones inside of him moving or at how skinny he was know all she did was hug him as she felt his tears drip down onto her shoulder
A monster, a monster
And it keeps getting stronger
Ben shaking as he sang the last part hugging Gwen like he expected her to disappear and he was he had before imagined them coming to get him only for their image to disappear but Ben didn't know if that was his own addled mind or Vilgax's robots messing with his head but no this was real this was Gwen and Ben knew he wasn't going to let go of her he wasn't going to ever leave her side ever again but it was only then that Ben noticed the figure in the door smiling cruelly as he aimed down his gun and before the giant alien could pull the trigger Ben had spun Gwen around with his new strength and speed as the blast hit him in the back as glowing and regular greens eyes met before Ben slumped in Gwen's lap as she shook him yelling at him to wake up as Vilgax walked inside and grabbed her as she was dragged away yelling screaming and slowly Ben closed his eyes but only for a minute as they quickly opened back up as his eye changed to the omnitrix emblem as his teeth became as sharp as steel as his arms gained new muscle and as his legs got faster and most of all that wide crazy smile spread across his lips as he got up
"Llllllike hhhhelll am I gogofoing to let you hurt my cousin" Ben screamed racing after the giant alien but not before sending a blast of electricity toward a computer nearby as his new favorite song played throughout the building
"Get back here Vilgax it's time for the psycho to play" Ben screamed as his arm sprouted a almost solid green crystal that was sharper than steel as Ben raced with enhanced speed down the corridor as he let his left arm stretch and grab a familiar book that was on the floor and bringing it to his nose Ben got Gwens scent and began to track
"Hehehhehahaha I'm coming for you Vigax and you better be prepared to die" Ben yelled before several of Vilgax's minions flooded the halls
"Hahah bring it tin cans" Ben yelled racing forward as he cut one in half as his song started up
