NOW LETS GET ON WITH THE STORY!
{Episode 6: What Are Little Girls Made Of}
The story starts with our faithful heroes seizing the day by hanging out by a small cove just a few miles away from Bellwood. It was Ben's idea to take a break from all of the alien business and just be normal teenagers for once…well as normal as they can be anyway. Vanessa [Who was wearing a blue two piece bikini with blue/white goggles and blue shorts] sighed contently as she rested her body on a large rock formation and happily let the sun rays wash over her body.
Vanessa had a small smile on her face as she looks down at the lake and saw her sister Sabrina [Who was wearing a yellow one piece swimsuit] trying to persuade Ship to get into the lake with her, but for some reason he wouldn't budge, Sabrina pouted a little bit as she got out of the lake and tried to grab him, but he easily avoided her grasp and slithered away. Vanessa let out a small laugh at the sight of her sister chasing after Ship as she turned over to her left and saw Zeda [Who was wearing the same swimsuit as hers, except that her bikini was purple and she was wearing a giant sun hat] resting on a lawnchair next to her, trying to get a sun tan…even though she is hologram.
The young heroine shook her head at the AI's cluelessness as she looked behind her and saw Gwen [Who was wearing a white two piece bikini] sitting by the edge of the rock formation as she saw a couple of fish swim pass her, causing her to sigh sadly as she rested her head on her knees. Vanessa raised in eyebrow in worry at her mana powered friend as she was about to ask her what was wrong, but then she got distracted by Kevin [Who was only wearing a black swimsuit] as she saw him absorbing the rock below and looked up to Ben, who was currently in the form of Brainstorm and grinned at him as he stood up.
"Let's settle this, Tennyson!"
"(Laughs) My dear Kevin, your nigh gladiatorial bellicosity has once again outpaced your ratiocinative processes" He said smugly, while standing on the other side of the rock formation as everyone, minus Gwen and Zeda, gave him blank looks for his long and complicated response.
"Those were a lot of big words" Sabrina said, while sitting at the edge of the lake as she gave up trying to get Ship into the lake and was now rubbing his tummy, much to her pets delight.
"…I don't know what you just said, but…CANNONBALL!"
He screamed as he jumped off the rock and landed on the lake, causing a small tsunami to appear as it headed straight for Ben, but it didn't seem to phase him as he opened up his cranium and shot a small lightning bolt at it. Causing steam to appear as Kevin popped out from the water and turned over to Vanessa and Zeda, who were soaked head to toe with water.
"So, how did I do?"
He asked as Vanessa grabbed her beach bag and pulled out a sigh that says "8 ¾", while Zeda materialized a sigh that says "3 ¼".
"Alright, I like those points, but why do I get a 3?"
"That was for getting me wet" Zeda said with an annoyed tone, while drying off her sun sat as Vanessa chuckled at her and patted her back.
"Eh, whatever. At least, I got Ben" He said with a smirk, before getting a shock look on his face as the steam cleared out and he saw Brainstorm smiling smugly at him, with not a single drop of water on him.
"Oh, attempting to short me out, hmmm? Before you cause such an involuntary cognitive discharge, my intense electromagnetic stormers would vaporize you. To wit."
He said with a small grin as he shot a small electric blast at him, causing him to let out a yelp as he was sent flying close to the girls and landed in between them. Kevin body armor dissolved as Vanessa gave Ben a "10 out of 10", while Zeda gave him "9 ½".
"As a coder and at the risk of gilding the lily, I submit…" He said, while crawling over to them as he transform back to normal and smirked down at him. "…That I wasn't even thinking hard" Ben [Who was only wearing green swim trunks] said as Vanessa cheered for him, while Zeda helped Kevin stand up.
"Okay, you got me that time. You live and learn, right Gwen?" He asked, but all he got was silence as Gwen continued starring at the lake and held a small rock on her hands.
"She misses grandpa" Ben said, realizing the reason on why his cousin was acting so strange.
"She was fine in the car"
"It's my fault, I thought bringing her here will cheer her up"
"...This is Grandpa Max's secret fishing rock, he used to come up here all the time, when he wasn't travelling"
"Away on plumber business"
"We didn't know back then, when I was five he brought me here and I caught a teeny tiny fish. He wanted me to release it, but I put up a big fuss, it was my fish you know? Grandpa finally convince me to come back when it was bigger" She said as she threw the small rock on the lake and sat up as she starred down at the lake with a sadden expression on her face. "Guess I never had an easy time letting go" She said with a solemn tone in her voice as everyone stayed quite after that, but then it was broken by a small sniffle. The gang turned to see what had made that sound and was surprise to see Vanessa bawling her eyes out as she ran over to Gwen and hugged her.
"That was the saddest story I ever heard! Gwen, I'm so sorry that you feel this way! But don't worry, you are not going to go through with this alone, because I know how it feel to loose someone that you love!"
"Vanessa…"
"Just know that whenever you need someone to talk to you, I'm your girl! I will help you with everything I can!"
"…Thank you Vanessa" She said with a small tear running down her eye as she hugged her back and closed her eyes. The boys and Zeda smiled at the cute scene as Vanessa and Gwen let go of each other and wiped their tears away, the tender moment was then cut-short by Sabrina, who ran up to them with a panicked look on her face as Ship slithered behind her with an equal panicked look.
"Guys! Guys! Guys, I think we're in trouble!" Me and Ship were just playing on the field when Ship suddenly sensed someone coming out of the forest and this weirdo in a cloak appeared out of nowhere, Look!" She screamed, while pointing down as they saw a mysterious women wearing a dark cloak walking over to a tree as she bends down and pulls out a strange looking flower.
"For a secret place, this gets a lot of traffic"
"Did you ever see a flower like that, Ben?"
"HEY! YOU WITH THE CLOAK!" Kevin screamed, causing the gang to wince from the volume of his voice as the mysterious figured heard him and laughed as she walked behind a tree.
"Don't let her get away!" Vanessa screamed as they chased after the mysterious figure and ran behind the tree, but to their shock, she was nowhere in sight.
"That women just disappeared!"
"Teleporter, maybe?" He asked Ship, who shrugs at him as he slithered over to the tree and started sniffing it.
"Could she be an alien, big sis?" Sabrina asked as Vanessa crosses her arms and hummed thoughtfully.
"I...don't know, she looked human enough but what she did just know was defiantly not human"
"What was she doing?" Gwen asked as Ship slithered over to them and started bouncing.
"Ship! Ship! Ship!"
"Huh? What is it boy? What did you found?" Ben asked as Ship slithered back over to the tree and pointed up, causing Ben to look closely at the tree and saw a heart shape carving on the tree with the words "Max + Verdona" written in the middle.
"Max + Verdona? Who is Verdona?"
"Verdona could probably be that mysterious women we saw a few minutes ago" Zeda says as Gwen bends down and picks up the strange flower that the mysterious women left behind.
"Let's find her and ask, I should be able to track her with this" She said as her eyes glowed pink and focused all of her energy on the small plant...but for some reason it didn't work. Gwen glared at the flower in confusion as she tries to use her powers again, but like last time it failed. "Ugh! I really thought I had that move down" She said as Ben bends down to inspect the tree and saw that it was covered with the same type of plant that Gwen has in her hands, except that some of them looked really old.
"Huh? That's not the first flower, she left here"
"So, what now? We can't just wait for her to come back" He said as Ben looked up to him and grinned as Vanessa looked in between them and smiles ear to ear.
"Ooh, I smell stakeout!"
{Time Skip}
The story then skipped to later at night as we see the gang [Minus Zeda, who was resting inside the Zennatrix to recharge] back in their normal attire as they sat in Kevin's car, patiently waiting for the mysterious women to return…well some of them did anyway.
"This is crazy, she didn't showed yesterday and she is not gonna show tonight" Kevin said, bored out of his mind as Ben sat next to him, while the girls and Ship sat in the back.
"Humor me" Gwen said with a dry tone as Vanessa sat up and put her arms on Kevin shoulders.
"Aw, why do you have to be so negative, Kev?"
"Oh, What? Your going to tell me that you love sitting around here, doing nothing all day"
"Hell yeah! I love stakeouts! Sitting around in a car, staying up really late and eating lots of junk food!" She said, while pulling a bag filled with junk food as Kevin looked over at Ben and gave him a look.
"Tell me again, why are you dating her?" He asked as Vanessa grinned at him and went back to her seat.
"Because the author wanted to"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Never mind~"
She said with a knowing grin on her face as she turned over to the readers and winked, Kevin gave her a raised eyebrow but shrugged nonetheless as he rested his head on his hand and continued waiting for the stranger to show up. Silence appeared over them as they focused their sight's on the tree, waiting for the stranger to appear.
After a few seconds of waiting, the silence was then broken by Ben, who thought it will be fun to pass the time by pressing the lock button over and over again. Ben continued pressing the button, until he saw Kevin glaring at him as he let go of the lock button and smiled at him nervously. Silence appeared once again as Kevin went back to watching the field for any sigh of the hooded figure…only for him to get a large anime vein in his head as Ben went back to his "Pressing the button over and over" game.
"Do I look like I'm kidding, Tennyson!"
"You guys" Gwen screamed in annoyance, causing them to shut up as Sabrina squirmed in her chair and turned over to her sister.
"What's wrong?" Vanessa asked, still eating the bag of chips from earlier.
"I have to pee"
"There is a bucket" Kevin said with a grin.
"Really, Kevin" Vanessa said with an unamused tone, while throwing the bag of chips out the window.
"What? I was just making a joke" He said as Gwen shook his head at him, before turning over to Sabrina as she opened the door.
"Don't worry, sweetheart. I think a saw a gas station, a couple miles back"
"If you want, I can drive you guys there" Kevin asked, while watching the girls getting out of the car.
"No, you and Ben need to keep watch. I will go with Vanessa and Sabrina to the gas station"
"Are you sure about that, Gwenny? You don't have to come if you don't want to, I am her big sister it is my responsibility" Vanessa asked, while picking up Sabrina as Gwen walked over to her.
"Nah, it's okay. Besides I need to go to the bathroom too" She said as Vanessa nodded in agreement and was about to walk off, when suddenly Sabrina stopped her by looking down at Ship, who was still in the car.
"Ship?"
"No, Ship. You need to stay here and protect the boys, until we come back" Sabrina said as Ship planted himself on the window and gave his master a worried look.
"Ship..."
"Don't worry, we will be back soon" She said as she and the girls walked off to the gas station, leaving behind the boys as they sat in silence...only for Ben to press the lock button again. Kevin screamed in frustration as he grabbed the 15 teen year old by his jacket and was about to strangle him, when suddenly Ben stopped him.
"Look!" Ben said as Kevin turned over to where he was looking and saw the hooded lady coming out of nowhere as she bends down at the tree and somehow, made the plant glow.
"Hey! How do you know Max Tennyson?" Ben asked as he and the others got out of the car and walked over to her as Kevin pulled back her hood, revealing the mysterious figure to be an older women with short white hair and blue eyes.
"Talk!" He said as the old lady smirked at him and raised her hand.
"What rotten kids, go away" She demanded as her hands glowed pink and the boys to gasp in shock as it resembles Gwen energy blast, but before they can react she shot at them with an energy wave, causing them to fall down at the ground as she levitated of the ground and flew off. Ben groaned in pain as he sat up and slammed his hand on the Omnitrix, causing a green glow to appear as he transformed into Jetray and flew after her.
"Jetray!" He screamed as Kevin sat up from the ground and ran over to his car as he absorbed the metal and was about to go after Ben, when suddenly he noticed Ship bouncing in front of him to get his attention.
"What do you want?"
He asked as Ship bounced excitedly, before bending down as he started changing his form and slowly he turned into a small size version of the Jet Fighter machine that he turned into from last chapter, Kevin whistled impressively as he looked over to inspect Ship and noticed that although the aircraft was small, it was big enough for him to fit.
"Okay this could work" He said as we cue back over to Ben, who was trying his best to catch up to the flying lady as said lady looked behind her and finally notices him chasing after him.
"Ooh a chase, I haven't had a good chase in years"
She said with a smirk as she looked on ahead and boosted up her speed, Jetray notices this and decides to level the playing field as he flew back up and took off at the speed of sound. The old lady hummed in amusement as she saw Ben flying in front of her, trying to catch her but all she did was lazily move to the left and levitated back to shore.
The old lady looked behind her to see if he will follow her, but she didn't need to wait as Jetray suddenly appeared in front of her and shot at her with his tail. The blue eyed women laughed at him as she flew back and avoided the shot, but what she didn't expect was to see Kevin, still armored up, flying over to her on Ship as he charged up the guns and smirked at her.
"Fire!" He screamed as he blasted the ground below her, being careful on not to hit the old lady as the shockwave from the blast manage to make her loose her focus and she fell down on the ground. Kevin jumped out of Ship and ran over to the old lady as he grabbed her by her wrist and hoisted her up. "Answers lady, we are done playing"
"Not until I put away my toys away, sweetie" She said with a grin as multiple pink tentacles shot out of her back and grabbed his arms and legs, Kevin didn't have any time to react as she tossed him over to Ben, who ducked out of the way as Kevin skidded across the ground and crashed against a couple of rocks.
"Ship!" Ship beeped in concern as Jetray flew above the powerful lady and glared down at her.
"Who are you?"
He asked, but the old lady ignored him as her eyes glowed pink, causing Ben to gasp in shock as his lower body was trapped in an energy field as he tried to free himself by using his neuroshocks, but that doesn't seem to help as his lasers made the bubble stronger and it blew up. Causing him to fell down to the sky as he landed next to Kevin and transformed back to normal, the powerless boys groaned in pain as the old lady floated above them and grinned at them with a murderous glint in her eyes.
"This little world will be a lot more tolerable without trouble making imps like you, getting in my way!"
"Oh, Yeah! Show us, what you got!" Kevin said confidently, causing the old lady to grin at him as she was about to blast them, when suddenly Ship jumped in front of them and beeped at her angrily.
"Ship!"
"Oh, what do we have here? A meddling mutt, go away!"
"No, leave him alone!" A young voice scream, causing the levitating women to raise her eyebrow in surprise as she saw Sabrina running pass her and bend over to hug Ship.
"Huh, who are you little one?"
"Leave her alone!" Vanessa screamed, while appearing out of the woods as she brought out one of her swords and threw it at the old lady, causing her to quickly jumped back as the blade flew pass her and cut a couple of her grey hairs.
"Ooh, a swordsmen or should I saw a swordswomen, how cute. I haven't seen one century's, but sadly for attacking me I think I should teach you a few things at respecting your elders!"
"Respect is earn, not given so bring it on old lady!" Vanessa screamed, while taking out her other sword as the old lady grinned and shot at her with a mana blast, but luckily she was protected by a pink energy field.
"Can't I leave you guys alone for two minutes and you two, I said with need to scope out the scene not run in blindly like a couple of bulls!" She said, while scowling at the Cunningham sisters.
"She was about to hurt, Ship!"
"And she was about to hurt, Sabrina!" She said, while grabbing Sabrina's arm as they walked over to Gwen, with the boys following close behind.
"I don't care, if you two are going to join the team you two need to learn to follow orders!" She said sternly with her hands glowing pink as the old lady notices her hands glowing hands and gasp in shock.
"Do that again" She said to Gwen, who glared at her and stood in a fighting stance.
"No, problem!" She screamed as shot a couple a mini mana blasts at her, but she easily deflected all of them with an energy field.
"Incredible!"
"Just how do you think you are, littering my Grandpa's cove with your flowers!"
"Flowers she makes with energy" Kevin said as Gwen eyes flew open in shock as she saw the old lady's hand glow pink, just like she does.
"No way" She says as the old lady walked pass the shock teens and walked over to Gwen with a hopeful look on her face.
"Did you say Max was your grandfather?" She asks as Gwen nodded slowly. "Kiddo!" She screamed in joy as she hugged her.
"Uh, he was my grandpa too" He said, causing the old lady to perk up as she let go of Gwen and turned to him.
"Really? Can you project energy like your sister?"
"Cousin...and no"
"Shame." She said sadly, before smiling again as she turned back to Gwen and held her arms. "Gwendolyn, I'm Verdona. We'll talk again soon" She said as her eyes glowed pink and the next thing they knew, she disappeared in a flash of purple lights.
"...Okay, what the hell just happen?" Vanessa asked, still confused on what happen.
"I think we just met our grandmother"
And done! Again sorry it took so long but you know how life is, sometimes good thing happens and sometimes bad things happens. Anyway I cant wait for the scene when Verdona "fights" with the kids, because you finally get to see Vanessa's swordsmanship in action, I noticed that lately Vanessa hardly ever uses her swords and I don't like that! I will make sure that she uses both her sword and her aliens forms in fights, because I LOVE hand-to-hand combat, superpowers and swords!
Anyway as always, I will talk to you all later.
