Chapter 4: Chasing Father Winter
The Tennysons were hot on the trail of Jack Frost whom was trying to desperately get away from them. The trailer driven by Grandpa Max was right on Jack's tail.
"I have to do something to loose these people, they are getting to be quite troublesome for my plans" said Jack to himself.
Jack then immediately turned right in front of the oncoming trailer to which promptly made Grandpa Max press the breaks on the trailer. But before he could do it, Jack used his powers and froze the front of the trailer, stopping it for good right in its tracks.
"You think you people are so smart in trying to stop me and my schemes?" asked Jack, "Well, I'm going to be the one with the other foot this time around!"
"I don't think so!" replied Ben who was still in his Upchuck form, and came out of the trailer right onto its roof, "Because you're going down, right here and right now!"
"I would like for you to try that on me, you, er, whatever you are" replied Jack.
"Gladly" replied Ben.
Ben then immediately fired spit wads at Jack which were exploding spit wads. Jack easily managed to dodge the attacks with ease. He then raced right up toward where Ben was, and gave him a good punch sending him flying right off the trailer and hard right onto the pavement.
"Whoa, that's gotta hurt" remarked Gwen as she noticed that her cousin was in trouble.
"We got to help Ben, his Omnitrix could time out at any minute" said Grandpa Max as he grabbed a sun gun as what he often uses against Ghostfreak.
"Don't you use that weapon, usually against Ghostfreak?" asked Gwen.
"Yeah, but since Jack is made out of ice, I guess this will be good enough to also melt him with as well" replied Grandpa Max.
It certainly seemed that Ben had no chance of winning the battle against Jack, as Jack was having the time of his life giving Ben a good beating.
"Think you can oppose me, Father Winter?" asked Jack as he approached a weak Ben.
"Hey, why not have a fair fight?" asked Grandpa Max as he used his sun gun on Jack.
Jack suddenly saw part of himself melt as he noticed that Grandpa Max had acquired a new weapon.
"So, I see you have acquired a new weapon in your arsenal, hope you don't mind if I take it and apply my powers instead of what weakens me" laughed Jack.
Jack then immediately regenerated whatever sort of limbs were lost by the sun gun. He then raced toward Grandpa Max and attempted to give him a good punch. But Grandpa Max fought back, as he then gave Jack a punch of his own sending him flying right across the pavement and onto the ground.
"Ha, now you know how it feels" said Ben to which his Omnitrix then finally times out changing himself back into his normal human self.
"Hey wait a minute, it's no wonder I have been seeing these strange creatures with that symbol" said Jack as he noticed the Omnitrix on Ben, "it's because you were all of those creatures I have encountered."
"And just what are you going to do to me?" asked Ben, "My grandpa can melt you into nothing!"
"That's what you think kid" replied Jack as he then froze Grandpa Max's legs making him unable to move along with doing the same with Gwen.
"I can't move!" cried Gwen.
"You'll never get away with this" added Ben.
"Oh, but I already have" said Jack as he then also froze Ben's legs, "because you'll be unable to move at all, and with that fancy watch with all of those strange creatures in them, not being activated, you can't do a thing!"
Jack then causally walks over to Grandpa Max whom was struggling to free himself.
"You won't be needing this weapon anymore" said Jack as he grabbed the sun gun away from Grandpa Max, "because I got a plans for this brand of technology. With it, I shall make winter a permanent season, all year round!"
Jack then promptly makes an evil laugh and uses his ice powers to leave the scene in quite a hurry. After a few minutes later, Ben's Omnitrix goes into the green, where Ben is able to change himself into Four Arms and breaks free of the ice. He then goes and does the same with Grandpa Max and Gwen.
"Grandpa, we have to stop that maniac" said Ben to Grandpa Max.
"I think that icy freak is long gone from here" replied Gwen.
"But I'm sure whatever he's planning, it's nothing good" said Grandpa Max, "I say we meet again tomorrow night to stop him."
Back in the sewers, Jack Frost was quite busy tinkering with the sun gun's technology trying to reverse of the sun gun, producing heat, instead producing ice. After a few hours tinkering it, Jack was managed to place his powers and replacing the sun gun's usual heat.
"Now to test this freeze gun out" said Jack as he then noticed some boxes nearby.
Jack then points his new freeze gun to some boxes and presto, instead of heat coming out of what use to be the sun gun, ice came out of it instead freezing the boxes completely.
"Yes, my invention finally works!" laughed Jack to which he then noticed the smoothie machine he had stolen earlier, "Perhaps I may not need such a heavy load to carry. All I need is this new freeze gun to enhance my powers, and target anyone who dares oppose my reign!"
After several hours later, school for both Ben and Gwen Tennyson was finally over again. They were quite eager to get back into action to hunt down and stop Jack Frost for good. Grandpa Max was waiting for them to pick them up from school again.
"Ready for another night on the town?" asked Grandpa Max as he opened the trailer door for Ben and Gwen.
"We better find a way to stop this Jack Frost for good" replied Gwen.
"If I could only change into Heatblast, I'll be able to handle that icy freak for good" said Ben.
"Well, let's hope you're in luck tonight" replied Grandpa Max as he readied the trailer and sped off.
