Chapter 2: Conflict At Pit Stop
Ben had hoped to get some payback against someone like Jack Frost after his first encounter. Jack Frost, had the manager of the gas station and fellow employees.
"That's right, give me that smoothie machine" laughed Jack as the poor employees of the gas station.
"Please, just t-t-take it and go" said the manager.
"Hmm, I'm not sure if I'm going to be satisfied with just this" thought Jack.
But as Jack continued to hold the employees of the gas station hostage, Ben had changed himself into Diamondhead, and was approaching the gas station. As Jack turned around, he noticed outside, Diamondhead was approaching the station.
"So, another one of these weird aliens" said Jack as he glared at Diamondhead to which he then turned to the manager, "I'll take care of this fellow, you secure my equipment."
"Come on and play" said Ben as he began to march toward the gas station, "I won't bite, much."
Before Ben could make another move toward the gas station, Jack had raced from with inside the station, and gave poor Ben a good punch sending him crashing right against a parked van that was at one of the pumping stations.
"Say, you have that strange symbol that the strange bug earlier" said Jack as he noticed the symbol of the Omnitrix on Diamondhead.
"Yeah, what's it to you then?" asked Ben.
"Sounds like you and that bug I fought earlier are in cahoots" replied Jack.
"You might say that" continued Ben as he managed to recover from the attack.
It was then Ben's turn to charge at Jack. Ben then began to fire his diamond shards at Jack, to which Jack had an easy time dodging the attacks. As Ben continued to fire at Jack, Ben knew that Jack was somehow stronger than the last time he had fought him. But as Ben continued to fight, Grandpa Max and Gwen had snuck into the gas station to get the manager and the employees to safety.
"Quickly, let's get you folks out of here before he comes back" said Grandpa Max to the manager.
"Oh thank you, kind sir" said the manager as he and the rest of the employees quickly left the scene.
"Hmm, very clever that you would have some other accomplices helping you try to free my temporary hostages" said Jack as he turned toward Ben, "but it won't stop me from my plans."
Jack then began to freeze Ben to which, Ben then managed to dodge. Thus, only freezing the van to which he ran right into. Jack then directed his, trying to track Ben who was really running from it.
"Ha, you can't outrun me!" laughed Jack as he continued to use his powers, "At night, I have the ability to regenerate much of my powers lost in the day during these sort of seasons. But soon I'll implement my plans to make winter a permanent season for good!"
"This guy could really use a therapist" remarked Ben as he then leaped over a dumpster which then was frozen by Jack.
Ben then noticed the frozen dumpster and picked it right up.
"Hey frosty, why not take some of your own medicine?" asked Ben as he then threw the frozen dumpster right toward Jack.
The dumpster traveled at a fast rate, aiming straight toward Jack who couldn't dodge it. The dumpster slammed itself right against Jack into a concrete wall giving Ben quite a grin on his face. But that celebration was short lived, as Jack used his ice powers and broke the dumpster into tiny pieces with his icy powers now at full force.
"You're going to wish you hadn't done that, you walking piece of glass!" shouted Jack.
"Aw come on, can't you super villains come up with a better insult?" asked Ben.
"I'll insult you with my fists!" replied Jack as he then raced right toward Ben again.
Jack gave poor Ben quite a beating with his icy fists being turned into blocks of solid ice. The icy blocks to which were Jack's fists broke some of the shards off of Ben himself as he tried his best to defend himself against Jack.
"Looks like Ben is getting quite beaten up" said Gwen as she noticed that her cousin was in trouble.
"There's got to be some sort of a way we can help him" added Grandpa Max to which he then noticed that the coffee machine in the gas station was still active with loads of coffee which gave Grandpa Max an idea, "say Gwen, get a hose, we're going to give this Jack Frost a good surprise."
Back at the fight between Jack and Ben, poor Ben was having the beating of his life. From being punched with icy blocks that were Jack's fists, to being kicked around against parked cars, damaging them quite a bit.
"Face it, you walking piece of glass" said Jack as Ben was trying to get up from the ground, "I have the upper hand during this time of the day."
"You'll never win!" cried Ben as he then used Diamondhead's powers to create shards of glass straight from the ground, aiming right toward Jack.
The shards were coming right toward Jack who attempted to use his ice powers to defend himself. But instead, sent him flying right toward where the gas station was.
"Why don't we turn up the heat then?" asked Grandpa Max who appeared on the scene with a hose aiming at Jack.
"Ha, you think you can defeat me with that?" asked Jack.
"Well, let's just say I connected this hose, with a funnel with this station's coffee machine" replied Grandpa Max as he then signaled Gwen to pull the lever that usually placed coffee in a cup for the customer.
"No, not again!" cried Jack, "It's too soon for me!"
Jack knew his time would be up, should the Tennysons get their way. So instead, he then immediately used his ice powers and froze the hole of the hose that was being aimed at him, making it useless. He then knocked Grandpa Max aside, and grabbed the smoothie machine that he had ordered the employees of the station to retrieve. From there, he then took off from the scene, heading off into the night.
"Nice going" said Ben as he then changed back into his normal human self.
"Well excuse me, it's not our fault here" said Grandpa Max as he showed Ben the frozen hole of the hose.
"What did that icy freak mean that he wanted to make winter a permanent season?" asked Gwen.
"Don't know, but whatever it is, I don't like the sound of that" replied Grandpa Max.
"Does that mean we can not go back to school?" asked Ben trying to come up with some sort of an excuse.
"Sorry, but we'll go hunting for Jack once the school day is over, how's about that then?" asked Grandpa Max.
"Fine" sighed both Ben and Gwen as they then got back onto the trailer and headed for home.
