Ben walked in silence as the brothers walked him to the spaceship. He knew that this was definitely against all he wanted, but he had no choice.
"Please…don't make me do this," he whispered to himself. He was secretly hoping that Vamps and Whampire would have an epiphany and see that this was all a mistake! But sadly…that moment didn't come. Ben saw the old and dilapidated spaceship doors open with a creak that made his skin crawl. As the aliens began to walk on one by one, Ben turned to them one more time.
"Please don't do this!" Ben pleaded, now looking at them. "I want to stay! I promise I can take care of myself!"
"Ben," Whampire said sadly.
"My word is final," Vamps said coolly, now turning and looking the other way. Ben drooped his head and turned to walk onto the ship. "And I will be following up with the space center to ensure that you made it back safely."
Ben turned and nodded to him, but then felt that something was still in his pocket. As he pulled it out, he noticed that he still had the keys to the collar around Vamps' neck. Ben smiled and turned around one last time!
"Vamps!"
Both brothers, who were currently walking away, turned around. Ben held up the keys and Vamps' eyes widened. "Ben! Give me those!"
"Nope! They are a reminder of you! If you want them, you have to let me stay," Ben smiled, now trying to hide the tears in his eyes as he ran into the spaceship. Vamps smirked and put his hands on his hips in amusement. Even though there were other ways to get the collar off, the keys were the easiest way.
"That kid. He's such an interesting human," Vamps smiled, making Whampire look at him.
"Vamps…you know that you also want him to stay." Whampire said. But Vamps brushed him off as he turned to walk back to the castle.
"Life goes on Whampire. Ben will be fine once he is home," Vamps said, not even glancing back.
But Whampire only shook his head. He was hoping that Vamps would not abandon the young boy like this but Vamps was not going to listen.
The next morning…
"Now that we have gotten rid of those tyrants, we can rebuild our homes," Vamps said to the council.
"Where do we begin? His tyranny spread over the entire galaxy?!" one council member said.
"Let's start on the planets that were the closest to his home. He obliterated those first," Vamps said.
"How many ships do we need?" one asked.
"Let's start with 2 thousand. If we all spread out, the sooner we will be to our goals of rebuilding our homes," Vamps said, now glancing out and seeing the broken and horrible streets.
Everyone in the council nodded and voiced their agreements. Whampire nodded too. He was so happy that his brother was back and Lord Transyl was finally gone.
"Now, I…" a council member started, but he was cut off when there was suddenly a flash of light. Within a few moments, Azmuth appeared and he had a very aggravated look on his face.
"Azmuth?!" Vamps said.
"What on Earth?!" Whampire gasped.
"King Vamps and Prince Whampire. We have a grave emergency." Azmuth said.
"What is it?" Vamps asked, now getting a terrible feeling.
"There has been a break in on my planet and in my lab. The thieves had no idea what they were doing because they just randomly grabbed items off the shelves." Azmuth said, still remaining calm but still very upset. "I am glad I have kept the Omnitrix and null void devices or else they too could have been stolen."
"That is a relief," Whampire said, now breathing out.
"But there was one more device that is missing." Azmuth said gravely. "There was one more device that could also be used to access the null void in case one every got destroyed. The thieves too it."
"Y-You mean…?!" Whampire gasped.
"Yes. That device could be used to open the null void." Azmuth said, making the entire room gasp.
"I-Isn't that where you…you sent…" a council member panicked.
"Yes. That is where I sent Vilgax. If we don't find that device he could return!" Azmuth replied lowly. That sent the entire room into an uproar and everyone began panicking an wailing, unsure of what to do!
"Everyone remain calm! We need to find the device!" Vamps thundered out, to calm everyone down.
"But how?!" One asked.
"We have no idea where the thieves went!" Another said in fear.
"I know where they are." Azmuth said. "I have tracking devices on all of my creations. But there is something you must know and you must act fast!"
"What is it?" Vamps asked, now getting closer to the Galvan.
"Vamps. The device has been located on the planet Earth." Azmuth said, making the entire room go quiet.
