And new chapter! I really hope you guys enjoy the chapter, since it took me like 5 days to make this. Which is kind of weird, since it usually takes me like two days to make a chapter, three if I was having a bad day... Anyway I don't own Ben 10, only my OC'S.
NOW LET'S GET ON WITH THE STORY!
The story starts with the gang staring blankly at Kevin, who was currently jamming his keys into a cactus, thinking that it was his car, thanks to his near-sightedness. The girls desperately tried to keep their mouths shut and not laugh at the sight of Kevin jamming his keys into a cactus as Ben walked over to him and took his keys from his wrinkly hands.
"I'll take those." Ben says with a grin as Kevin glares at him.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Driving."
"Don't even think about it. You don't even have a driver's license!" He screams, not liking the idea of anyone besides him driving his car.
"Grandpa Max taught me, and it's an emergency. Your nearsighted, arthritic, your reflexes are shot…and you're trying to unlock a cactus." Ben says as Gwen face palmed with an amused smile on her face, while Kevin looked over at the cactus confusedly.
"Can I drive?"
Vanessa asked with a hopeful look on her face as the boys turned to each other and their faces went pale as memories of Vanessa's reckless driving came into their minds.
You see a few months ago when the gang got the Rustbucket back from Argit and Kevin fixed it, Vanessa asked the boys to teach her how to drive the RV…let's just say that after that lesson, Kevin needed to fix the RV again and Ben had to go to the hospital.
"NO!" The boys instantly answered causing Vanessa to pout as she crossed her arms and reluctantly sat in the front seat.
"Well, if you guys need me, I'm going to take a quick power nap to recharge my batteries. Call me, if you need me." Zeda said as she waved them goodbye and disappeared into the Zennatrix.
"You should've gone out on a date with me when I was young and handsome." Kevin said to Gwen, who gave him a smirk as she sat beside him in the backseat.
"You were too immature." She says as Ben inserted the key in the ignition and started up the car.
"What about now?"
"Too old."
She says with a grin as Kevin slumped dejectedly on his seat and grumbled angrily. After warming up the car, Ben put his hand on the gear and set it to reverse as he looked at the rear-view mirror and tries to gently back up the car…only to crash against a few trash cans as he stepped on the gas pedal too hard.
"Whoops." He says with a smile, not feeling bad whatsoever.
"It's not a bumper car!"
"Can I take the wheel now?"
"NO!"
The boys screamed, causing Vanessa to shrink from their yells as she was about to say something. When suddenly the building in front of them exploded and the blue creature from before, appeared out of nowhere and charged at them.
"Back up! Back up! Back up!"
Gwen screamed as Ben stepped on the peddle and hastily drove backwards, the gang hold on for dear life as Gwen looked at the rear-view mirror and saw the creature suddenly appearing behind them, leaving behind a blue trail as it goes.
"Ben on the right!"
Gwen said as Ben stepped on the brake and turned the car around, before heading towards an alleyway as they drove through a wall of wooden planks and appeared in the center of the town. The young omnitrix wielder tried his best to loose the creature, but no matter how many turns he make, the creature always seem to find them somehow as it appeared behind Kevin's car and touched it.
The young heroes eye's widen as they watched a blue light enveloped the whole car and soon it was turn into rust. Ben, Gwen and Vanessa looked over their bodies and sigh in relief, glad to see that only the car was aged up and not them, but not everybody was feeling the same thing.
"No! No! Not the car!"
Kevin screamed in despair, while holding his head as Gwen put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him. While Kevin was mourning over his destroyed car, Vanessa cautiously looked out the window and her eyes widen in fear at sight of the creature reaching out its hands to touch the car again.
"Uh, Ben? Don't mean to alarm you or anything, but the creature is going to touch the car again, do something!" She screamed as Ben looked around his surroundings and spotted a wooden ramp that was coincidently pointing up to the roof of a small building.
"Hang on!"
Ben screamed as Vanessa throws herself at him and hugged him by his waist.
"…I meant hold on to the car!" He said with a blush as Vanessa grinned sheepishly and was about to let go of him, when suddenly Ben stopped her. "On second thought you don't have to let go of me, if you don't want to."
He says with a flustered grin as Vanessa smiled and hugged him again as he drove up the ramp and landed harshly on the roof of the building. The gang quickly got out of the broken car as Zeda appeared before them and yawned as she stretched out her arms.
"Ah, that was a good nap. What did I miss?" She asked as Gwen gave her a blank look and pointed at Kevin's rusted broken car. "Oh. Yikes."
"You are never driving my car again!" Kevin screams angrily, while being held by the girls as Ben looked over at the car and saw that the doors had falling off.
"True."
"I told you I should've drive."
"Where have you been?" A familiar voice said, causing the team to look up as they saw the lab coat wearing man from earlier, standing in front of them with a pocket watch resting on his hands. "You were supposed to get here 6 seconds ago or is this thing running fast?" He says, while staring at his watch with a confused look on his face.
"Who are you anyway? What are you doing here?" Ben asked, fed up with the air of mystery that surrounds this strange man.
"How do you know who we are?" Vanessa asked.
"What is that creature?" Gwen asked.
"How can it accelerate time?" Zeda asked.
"Can you fix my car?" Kevin asked hopefully.
"There is something different about you." The man said, referring to Kevin's old state as he walked towards him. "Is it your hair?"
"Yeah. I'm parting it down on the middle and I also got real old!"
"And cranky. Well, more so than usual." Vanessa added in, not noticing the glare Kevin was giving her.
"Don't talk to me about old. I walk an eternity." The man, his voice going dark for a second.
"Well, you better start running in eternity, smarty guy!" He shouts, while shaking his fist on the air.
"Hmm, you might slow us down. I need to fix that. We'll come back over there." He says, while pointing to their left as the team turned around and saw him walking out with Kevin, who was back to his original age.
"What the…?" Zeda asked, while looking down and saw that Kevin disappeared from the girls grasp. "How did he…?" Zeda asked her master, who gave her a shrug.
"Don't know. But at least he helped Kevin." Vanessa says as Gwen ran after Kevin and hugged him.
"Kevin, I can't believe it! You're good as new!"
"Well, my back still hurts a little. If I could just lean on you,"
He says, while leaning on Gwen as she slapped him playfully on the chest, but didn't pulled away from the hug. "Alright professor, if you wouldn't mind fixing my car." Kevin said to the lab coat wearing man, who looked at him like he said the most craziest thing in the world.
"How do you expect me to do that!? I'm a time traveler, not a body shop! Regressing a car would break all corneal laws of space and time-"
"Bullshit. You don't want to fix Kevin's car, because you don't want to risk breaking the running gag of the show." Vanessa says with grin, while pointing an accusing finger at the man.
"…Okay, you got me there, Cunningham." He says with a laugh as he put his arm over her shoulders and led her away from the team. "I have to say my dear, it's been a rather long time since I seen someone else break the fourth wall, instead of me."
He says, before getting a serious look on his face as he leaned over to her and whispered to her ear.
"But I do suggest that you tone it down a little bit or else your friends will find out what they really are and there will be 95% percent chance that our little universe will collapse!" He said with a hush tone as Vanessa slowly nodded and gave him a thumbs up.
"Okay, I will stop for now. But it doesn't mean I will stop forever!" She said with a cheerful grin as the man laughed and ruffles her hair.
"I know my dear, I'm just saying to be cautious is all."
"Don't worry, I will!"
"Ok, enough!" Ben screamed as he ran in between them, not knowing what they were talking about, but he had other pressing matters to attend. "I want some answers, now!"
"Same old, Ben Tennyson. Your even more like yourself now than you are in the future. Which for obvious reasons, I can't tell you."
"You want me to hurt him?" Kevin said, while punching his hand into his fist.
"What can you tell us, Mr. Paradox?" Gwen asked as the man eyes widen at the name and rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Paradox? Oh, yes that'll do very nicely. I'll tell you my story in a way you can understand with a beginning, a middle and an end."
He said with a grin as he pulled out his pocket watch from his lab coat and opened it as a flash of blue light occurred and suddenly the teens were transported into the past 50 years ago. The gang blinked in surprise as they saw a young Professor Paradox performing his time experiment, while being supervised by the general and a couple of scientists.
"We'll start in the middle. Los Soledad was built entirely because of my ingenious theory. A time tunnel utilizing the properties I discovered using in quartz crystals, which would allow us access to the pass and the future events. " He said as he and the others watched as the professor's experiment went awry and with no time to run, the professor was forcefully sucked into the portal.
"Yeah, well for a 'genius' looks like you blew it."
"You don't know the half of it. Some tiny miscalculation on my part, destabilized the experiment and ripped a hole in the fabric of reality. I was hurled into the event horizon, I must've spend one hundred thousands years in there. I didn't need age or need to sleep or sleep. Just exist."
"Heh, sounds boring."
"Kevin!" Vanessa said as she elbowed him in the gut, before giving Paradox a sad look. "That must've been horrible."
"Oh, it was. At first I went mad of course, but after a few melena I got bored with that and went sane, very sane." He said with a haunting look on his face as the team sweat dropped at him, while Zeda fearfully hid behind her master. "I began to learn. I now have total understanding of the space-time continuum! Allowing me to travel anywhere and anytime I want. Within reason, of course."
"...Wow...that actually explains a lot." Zeda said with a shock look on her face as the others nodded in agreement.
"So, where's your time machine?" Kevin asked.
"He doesn't have a time machine, he has a map in his head." Ben said in realization as the team got wide eyed from the information.
"Exactly! I know where all of the shortcuts are, I spent a thousand lifetimes crisscrossing the time stream making it a better place."
"And how's does that pay?" Kevin asked.
"For the moment, not even in job satisfaction." He said as he walked forward and suddenly the team were standing in an empty room with two chalkboards placed in front of them. "You see I recently discovered that some kind of extra-dimensional creature is going to wreak havoc across the universe."
"So? The way you talk, you take on monsters like this all the time. Why is this one different?" Ben asked as Paradox picked up a chalk and drew something on the chalkboard.
"Because, unlike the thousands of foes I've faced before, this extra dimensional creature came into our plain of reality the moment my experiment went awry."
"Oh, so just to be clear, its your fault?" Kevin asked with a grin as Gwen walked forward and gave the professor a suspicious look.
"This creature hasn't been lurking around here for 50 years, we would have known about it." Gwen said as the professor gave her a mischievous smirk and turned to the chalkboard.
"Time is like a river." He said, while drawing more pictures on the chalkboard. "It moves, flows, and bends. 50 years ago, I accidently set off a death charge in that river. The creature, I released was blasted 50 years through time to your present. Doing this to your future." He said, while making more drawings as Gwen shook her head and gave Paradox a confused look.
"But, all its doing is messing up an old army base. Why is that problem at all? Why not just leave it alone?"
"That's a better question for the man in the moon."
"Who? Santa?" Vanessa asked, receiving odd looks from her friends. "What? When I was a kid, my mom used to tell me that Santa lives on the moon, instead of the north pole, so that he can watch over us more easily." She said as the professor gave her a puzzled look, before shaking his head.
"No, Vanessa. Santa is not the man in the moon. I am!" He says with a cheeky grin as the team looked around and gasped in shock, which probably wasn't a good idea, since they were literally standing in the middle of the freaking moon!
"Were on the moon." Ben said, looking quite casual for some reason.
"No, we're on the moon in your distant future."
"Wow. So, this is space? It's so beautiful." Vanessa said, while looking around the moon in astonishment. However, not every one was appreciating the view.
"What!? How are we not suffocating?!"
"Good question. Not remotely the point though." Paradox said as Kevin glared at him. "Imagine what the earth will look like in 200 hundred years, say, with that time monster wandering all over it, aging everything that crossed it's path to dust. For those of you who have no imagination, the earth is up there."
He said as everyone looked up and staggered back in shock/horror at what they saw. What was once a beautiful planet is now a barren wasteland with no sigh of life, whatsoever. What was left is large craters, dead trees, dried up oceans and piles of fossilized skeletons of all shape and sizes, scattered across the planet like dead cockroaches.
"You brought us to the worst possible future." Ben said quietly, while staring at their dead planet in despair as Professor Paradox gave him a serious look.
"No, should I fail to stop that creature, this is your best possible future." He said as the group stared in shock and looked at the Earth in stunned silence...that was broken 5 seconds by another Paradox appearing out of nowhere, scaring the crap out of the teens.
"Not a pretty sight is it?" Paradox#2 said, while staring up to Earth with a grim look on his face.
"What are you doing here?" Paradox#1 asked.
"I'm allowing myself to feel the full impact of my failure."
"Oka, who is he?" Kevin asked, annoyed to see another Professor Paradox in front of them
"He's a parallel paradox!" Ben said in realization as Paradox#2 smiles brightly at him.
"Young Ben has an innate sense of transtemporal metaphysics which will serve him well in his future or should I say past?"
"And I drive good too." Ben said, while giving Kevin a cheeky grin.
"Eh, not really." Vanessa said with a laugh as Ben playfully glares at her and crosses his arms.
"Well, at least I'm not the only one. Need I remind you, what happened the last time you took the wheel?" Ben said with a smirk as Vanessa blushes and laughs nervously.
"We can breath on the moon in the future, but you can't fix my car?" Kevin asked, his annoyance with the man sky rocketing.
"What should I do?" Paradox#1 asked, ignoring the annoyed teen as he faced his future counterpart.
"Well, obviously not what I did. But whatever you do, you better do it quickly. Time is running out." Paradox#2 said as he pulled out his pocket watch and with a flash of blue light, the team were transported back in Los Soledad.
"Why come back here? Why don't we travel back in time and stop the experiment from ever happening?" Gwen asked as Paradox shook his head and gave her an amused look.
"Isn't it like an energy being to think outside temporal conventions?"
"I'm not an energy-"
"The experiment that releases the creature also unsticks me in time and that must happen because in all modesty-"
"...You saved the world dozens of times." Ben concluded.
"Hundreds actually. In fact, on one occasion, you and I worked together to save the entire multiverse, after Vanessa accidently reveals to you and your friends that you are actually carto-" He said, before stopping in mid-sentence as he realized what he was about to say. "...Never mind. It should be here in any-"
He said, before getting interrupted by a loud crash as the team turned around and saw the creature charging at them once again. (Jeez that thing never seems to quit does it?)
"...You could set your watch by it." He said as Ben and Vanessa turned to each other, before nodding in agreement as they pulled out their devices and simultaneously transformed into their respective alien counterparts.
"Jetray!"
Ben screamed as he opened up his wings and flew in the sky.
"Webtail!"
Vanessa screamed as she fires a web to a nearby building and used it to propel herself upwards as she did a flip mid-air and landed on a roof of a building. Jetray flew over to the blue creature as his tail glow bright and soon, he started raining down neuroshocks at the extra-dimensional creature, who simply absorb the blast as Jetray tried to blast him again but got the same result.
Once the young heroine saw the creature heading towards the building that she was standing on, Webtail crouched down and leaped off the building as she lifts up her tail and splashes the creature's face with her web. But she didn't stopped there as the moment she landed on the ground, she raised her four hands and blasted the creature with more webbing as she runs around it and effectively trapped the dimensional creature by covering it head to toe with her organic webbing.
Vanessa smiled at first, thinking that she won. But to her surprise, the creature easily escaped by turning her webbing into dust and charged at her like an angry bull as Webtail shrikes in fear and ducks. Professor Paradox quickly sprung into action as he threw a bunch of gumballs to stop the creature...and surprisingly it worked?.
"Whoa, thanks for the save!" Vanessa says as the professor nodded to her and smiled.
"Anytime."
"They hit it? Doesn't everything age into oblivion as soon as they touch it?" Ben asked, while landing beside Vanessa.
"Gumballs last a really long time. Look under your desk, now get back!"
He screamed as Jetray instinctively grabbed Webtail with his feet and flew in the air, just as the creature speeds pass them and headed straight for the rest of the team. Gwen hands glowed pink as she was about to shield her friends with her mana, when suddenly the Professor jumped in front of her and held the creature back with his body.
"Let go! He'll age into dust!" Gwen screamed as Jetray flew to her side and let go of Webtail, who transformed back to normal as he did the same.
"I exist outside of time, but I can still feel the eons passing!" He screamed as the gang stared at him worriedly. All except Zeda, who flew over to him a she gave him a determine look.
"Professor, let me hold the creature back!" She said as the professor was about to protest, but she cut him off. "I'm a hologram, so I can't age! Trust me, I can do this! Just let go!"
She said, surprising everybody as the professor gave her a concern look. Before nodding to her as he let go of the creature, who charged at the teens again as Zeda flew over to it and manage to grab it, just before it could reach her friends.
"Zeda!" Vanessa screamed, worried for her friend as Zeda turned to her and gave her a weak smile.
"It's okay, master! I got this!" She said, before letting a strained groan as the creature manage to push her back a little and caused her to nearly loose her grip on him as she stomps her feet on the ground and pushes him back. "I'll be fine, just figure out a way to stop this thing! I'll hold it off as long as I can!" She screamed as Professor Paradox turned to the teens and gave them a hasty look.
"Quickly, kids! We need to figure out a way to defeat the creature, before Zeda looses her grip on him. Any ideas?" He asked as Ben thought for a minute, before snapping his fingers as he looks up to the professor and gave him a series look.
"Paradox, take us back to the accident. Now!"
"But I told you-"
"Just do it!"
Ben screams as Paradox lets out a sigh and reluctantly transported them back into the past, where the experiment was first being held.
"Vanessa, Kevin, Gwen, the lab quick!" He yelled as the teens followed their leader's order and ran off towards the lab. "Professor, you and Zeda just keep that thing occupied." He said as he ran off, ignoring the elder man's protest as he ran after his team and they all entered the lab.
"Sure this thing is going to work? Your time machine has cost the U.S. government a pretty penny doctor." The general said as the team sneaked pass him and the scientists, quite easy if I might add, and made their way to the rest of the lab.
"-As to cost, I think the alleviation of untold human suffering throughout history is ample justification, General." The young Professor Paradox finished explaining, but Ben wasn't listening as he looked down at the ground with a thoughtful look on his face, causing Vanessa to give him a concern look as she crawled over to him and nudge him softly to get his attention.
"Uh, Ben? You, alright?"
"Why would it use the phone?" Ben asked suddenly, ignoring Vanessa's question as his team gave him a confuse look.
"What?" Gwen asked.
"The creature, it tried to use the pay phone. Then it went to the police station, then the dorms. It didn't act like some unfathomable trans-dimensional creature, it did everything a normal person would do-"
"...If they suddenly find themselves in an abandon military base" Gwen finished as Vanessa's eyes widen and her jaw dropped.
"Holy shit! Your right!"
She said as a bright light turned on, causing the team to shield their eyes as they turned around and saw the young professor paradox standing in front of the active machine with an expressionless look on his face. Vanessa stared at the machine in awe, before tensing as her keen senses picked up a weird sound coming to her right as she looked up and saw a random assistant (Hugo) backing cowardly away from the machine.
"Guys, check it out!"
Vanessa screamed as the others looked to where she was pointing at and saw the cowardly assistant backing away as he accidently bumped against a control panel and it blew up...for some reason. Causing the machine to malfunction as it started sucking up everything in the lab, including the professor as he tried to run away, but it was futile as the machine was to strong and soon he was sucked into the machine.
Hugo whimpered in fear/sadness as he watched his friend disappear into the machine and tried to run out of the lab, but he was quickly swept away from the force of the machine. Luckily, he managed to grab on to a nearby machinery, just before he falls in as he tighten his grip on the machine and lets out a scream for help. Ben narrowed his eyes as he sat up from the ground and slowly advances over to Hugo, while activating his Omnitrix as he scrolled through his list of aliens.
"Ben! You'll get sucked in, along with him!" Gwen screamed, while being held by Kevin as Vanessa looked over at Ben worriedly. Hoping that he had a plan as a hologram of Humongousaur appeared over the Omnitrix and Ben raised his hand.
"Time to put on a little weight!" He said as he was about to slam his hand down at the Omnitrix, when he suddenly he lets out a shout as the force of the machine finally caught him and he was sent flying in the air.
"Ben, no!"
Vanessa screamed in terror as she slam her hand down at her Zennatrix, while reaching out her other hand to grab Ben, just as he slammed his hand down at the Omnitrix and a green/purple light occurred. Momentarily blinding everybody in the lab as the general and the scientists shielded their eyes and waited for the light to die down. Once the light was gone, the general and the scientists stepped back in horror as two large bodies appeared out of nowhere and they both let out primal roars that shook the entire base.
"Humongousaur!" Ben screamed as he felt his body float in the air, before felling someone grabbing his hand as he looked down and saw Vanessa, in her Tetra-Girl form, grinning at him as she used two of her hands to anchor herself to the floor, while using her other two hands to grab Ben's humongous hand. (See what I did there?...No?...I'll shut up now.)
"Tetra-Girl! I got your back, Ben! Save the assistant!" She screamed as Humongousaur nodded and slowly reached out his hand to grab the whimpering assistant, who freaked out at the sight of him as he accidently let go and almost fell into the machine, but was luckily saved by Ben as he grabbed the man by his leg.
"Trust me. This beats the alternative. Vanessa pull us in!" He said as Vanessa nodded and grunted as she used every bit of her strength to pull them in...but it didn't work. Vanessa blinked in confusing as she gritted her teeth and tried again, only to get the same result again as she looked up to Ben and gave him a shock look.
"Ben, I-I can't! The machine is too strong, I can't save you!" Tetra-Girl said, while grunting in pain as she felt like her arms were about to pop off from her sockets.
"Yes, you can!" He screamed, while bringing Hugo to his chest as he gave his girlfriend a reassuring look. "I believe in you! You're the most strongest girl, I know!"
He said as Gwen gave him an offended look from the sidelines.
"No offense, Gwen!" He said, giving Gwen a sheepish look, before turning back to Vanessa.
"No, I cant'!" Tetra-Girl screamed with small tears in her eyes as she gave him a discouraged look and gasped in horror as she felt her grip on Ben's hand slipping.
"Vanessa, listening to me. You can do this!" He said as Vanessa was about to object, but he cut her off. "And don't tell me you can't do it, because that is a lie! You done a lot of amazing and ground breaking things in your life, you escaped from your abusive father, you inherited one of the three most powerful devices in the universe, you saved you're sister from turning into a monster and you managed to save Grover's Mill from bein taking over by the DNAliens. If you can do all of that and come out laughing, then you are certainly more stronger than you look. Now pull, Vanessa, pull!"
Humongousaur screamed as Vanessa looked at him with tears running down her face, before getting a determined look on her face as she tighten her grip on Ben's hand and closed her eyes. Ben and Hugo gasped in shock as blue energy swirled around the young heroine and her muscles started expanding as Vanessa growls a bit and furrowed her eyebrows in concentration. Before suddenly opening her eyes as she lets out a loud yell and swiftly pulls them back as Gwen raises her hand and quickly blasted the machine apart with a few mana bolts.
The young couple panted heavily as they got up from the ground and transformed back to normal as Vanessa looked up to Ben, before suddenly leaping at him as Ben caught her and was about to ask her what was going. When suddenly his mind went blank as Vanessa leans and kisses him, Gwen and Kevin smiled warmly at the couple as they watched them make out for a few minutes, before stopping as they smiled at each other and walked out of the building, while holding hands as Gwen and Kevin followed them.
Meanwhile with Zeda, we see her letting out a scream as the creature managed to push her off and charges at the professor, who braced himself as he waited for the creature to slam against him. When suddenly, he heard a soft grunt as he looked down and saw his old assistant Hugo, laying on the ground as he rubbed his head and looked up to him in surprise.
"Hugo! Of course. If it were a snake, it would've bitten me!" He said as Zeda looked at the scene confusedly, before looking up as she heard incoming footsteps and saw her friends walking out of the labs.
"Guys, you did it! You saved the world!" Zeda says as the team smiled at each other, before turning over to the professor as they gave the time-travelling hero a smug look.
"Oh, don't look so smug! I would have figured it out!" He said as Ben and Vanessa turned to each other and smirked, while still holding hands.
"Well, I don't know? It took 100,000 years for you to figure it out."
"While, we figured it out in only a few hours." Vanessa said with a laugh as the professor glared at them, before letting a small smirk cross his face as he snapped his fingers and the team were back to the present.
"Well, I have to admit. I'm impressed. All those centuries trapped in the event horizon, and it never occurred to me that the accident wasn't my fault. Your much smarter than you were when I met you later."
"Thanks...I guess."
"What happened to him, your assistant?"
"I lived a good life." An old voice was heard, causing the professor and the team to turn around and saw an old Hugo walking towards them with a cane in his hand.
"Hugo!" Paradox says, happy to see his old friend as he walk towards him and shook his hand. "How are you?"
"Well, you look the same and I haven't seen you in 50 years."
"Well, I haven't seen you in 100,000. But you don't look that bad, how was your life?"
"Good, a good life. But I'm-I'm sorry about the experiment. I ruined everything. I never got to time travel."
"Would you still like to?" He asked as Hugo gave him a surprise look, before getting a big smile on his face as he nodded.
"Yes. I am not afraid anymore." He said as Paradox smiles and brought out his pocket watch.
"Glad to hear it. How about a behind-the-scenes look at eternity." He said as his pocket watch glowed brightly and a blue portal appeared In front of them. Paradox and Hugo smiled at each other as the professor put a hand on his friends shoulder and entered the portal.
"At least he got company now. I wonder if we will ever see him again?" Gwen asked as Vanessa was about to open her mouth, but Paradox warning came into her mind as she shook her head and shrugged.
"Don't know. I guess only time will tell." She says with a grin as the others groaned at her lame pun.
"Master, why?" Zeda said as Vanessa laughs and waves her off as she disappears into the Zennatrix.
"Oh, and thank you for stranding us in the middle of nowhere!" Kevin screamed at the empty space, where the porta used to be.
"Come on, we have a long walk home." He said as he and the others walked pass a building, before stopping in their tracks at the sight of Kevin's fixed up car.
"Oh, ho, ho, ho! Stoked!" He said, while running over to his car like a kid receiving a present for Christmas.
"It looks new!" Gwen says.
"It doesn't just look like new, it is new. Its factory new from 30 years ago. Paradox, I take back everything I was about to say to you." He said as Gwen sat in the front seat, while Vanessa sat in the back and Ben was about to follow, when suddenly he noticed a note on the windshield.
"Hey, look guys. I found a note."
"What does it say?" Vanessa asked.
"Kevin, try to keep in mind that if this car come in contact with anything else from 1976, it will explode like antimatter. Enjoy, ~Paradox."
"He's kidding, right? That some kind of time traveling joke, right? Isn't, guys?" He asked, but he didn't get a respond as he and Ben entered the car and drove off.
"Wait. There something else on the note."
"What is it?" Gwen asked as Ben looked at the note closely and raised an eyebrow.
"P.S. Vanessa, I hope you remember the talk we had earlier." He says as he looked over at Vanessa and gave her a confused look. "You guys had a talk? What did you guys talked about?" He asked as he and the others turned to Vanessa, who was sweating nervously from their stares as she twiddled her thumbs and looked away.
"Uh...um...look a DNAlien!" Vanessa screamed, while pointing at a random location as the team looked behind them, not noticing a purple light as they looked back and saw Vanessa running in front of them, in the form of Hyper-Bolt as she waved at them and sped off.
"What a strange girl" Gwen said as Ben and Kevin nodded in agreement.
And done! Man that was a lot of fun to write, especially with the talk Vanessa and Paradox had. Anyway, I wanted to say to always remember to leave a review and a favorite, since I kill to have more of those...okay not literally, since killing is wrong.
Anyway as always, I will talk to you all later.
