Chapter 5: Heat's On
It was finally the right time to track down Jack Frost. As both Ben and Gwen sat in the trailer, Grandpa Max was usually busy at the wheel. They wanted to find out where Jack Frost would strike next.
"So where the heck would this icy freak Jack Frost strike?" asked Ben.
"Not sure where" replied Grandpa Max, "but I'm guessing it will have to do something about some sort of a holiday that he often detests."
"Wait, a remember something about Mother's Day being celebrated quite earlier in the year" said Gwen, "it's like Christmas stuff being sold in November or even October."
"Then I guess this Jack Frost must be at the local mall then!" said Grandpa Max as he then headed into that direction.
Meanwhile, inside that very mall, Gwen was right on the mark as it seemed as April were the month where Mother's Day would be celebrated. Jack immediately broke right into the mall thanks to his new freeze gun and noticed the displays all ready for the next day which disgusted him very much.
"This is just simply sad" sighed Jack as he noticed a large flyer that said the words "Mother's Day" up above all over the ceiling of the mall, "this society celebrates holidays earlier, and earlier than usual! All the more reason to make winter a permanent holiday for good!"
"You intruder, stop!" cried a police officer who drew his weapon at Jack.
"Oh, looks like some mall security" laughed Jack, "why don't you be placed on ice!"
Jack then used his freeze gun on the police officer, freezing his gun, and also immobilizing him. But as Jack could do any further damage, more police officers showed up right onto the scene with their weapons drawn right at Jack.
"Drop your weapon, or we'll fire!" cried one of the officers.
"Ha, I would like for you people to try it!" laughed Jack.
Jack immediately then manages to create what seem like an ice clone of himself to which the police officers then began to fire at. The bullets only managed to destroy the ice clone of Jack. To which left Jack untouched and able for him to freeze the police officers whom fired upon him.
"What a bunch of pathetic excuse for a security force!" laughed Jack.
But as Jack was going to go ruin another holiday, Ben came crashing through the glass ceiling of the mall as Heatblast, to which both Grandpa Max and Gwen were not far behind him as they let down a rope, and climbed down it.
"So, you three are finally here again?" asked Jack, "I would like to see if you can melt me, match boy."
Jack then used his freeze gun on Ben who had managed to easily dodge the attacks with Heatblast's powers.
"This guy could really chill out, or perhaps heat up!" cried Ben.
Ben then threw a large fireball at Jack, to which Jack had managed to dodge the attack. Jack then leaped right toward Ben and gave him a good punch sending him crashing right where both Grandpa Max and Gwen were. As he quickly recovered from the attack, he then made his charge at Jack and began to fire rapidly with Heatblast's powers at the icy villain. The icy villain did his best to defend himself, but he soon realized that he was melting away quite literally from Heatblast's powers.
"No, no!" cried Jack as he noticed parts of himself were melting away.
"Looks like you don't seem to get it" said Ben, "winter deserves a break, and it seems that you're long over do!"
Ben then goes at Jack again, and gives him another good punch, and also giving Jack an uppercut sending him flying through the three floors of the mall, and right onto the roof of the building. Poor Jack, didn't know what hit him as he managed to recover from the hard uppercut from Ben.
"This can't be!" cried Jack, "No one has been able to defeat me in this manner ever before!"
"Well, it looks like it's going to be your last then!" cried Ben who had shot himself up with a boost of fire, as if it were a jetpack right onto the roof.
"Oh, I don't think so" said Jack.
Jack then begins to use his freeze gun, this time also combined his power with it.
"Take a load of this then!" cried Jack.
Jack then fired the freeze gun again, this time with using his full power at Ben. Ben immediately dodges the ice beams, and instead froze part of the roof that he was on. He then once again tried to do it to Ben, but failed again, and again.
"Stand still!" cried Jack as he kept on firing at Ben.
"This gives me an idea" said Ben as he noticed the entire roof was nearly in ice.
Ben then began to flare up his powers, and the ice then began to suddenly melt and turn into water. Jack himself didn't know this could happen, as he then began to slip as he was trying to maintain balance. He then immediately falls flat right onto his face, releasing the freeze gun that he had which Ben then promptly steps right on it destroying it.
"No, no!" cried Jack, "My plans, all ruined!"
"Looks like the heat is on you!" laughed Ben who was making a pun.
After a few minutes later, Jack Frost was in police custody in special cuffs being hailed off to a special prison cell.
"Well, looks like that icy freak Jack Frost will not be bothering anyone for a long time" said Grandpa Max as Jack was being thrown into the police van.
"I'll get you three for this!" cried Jack as he shouted while the police van was heading off, "I swear, I'll get revenge upon everyone who has ever dared cross me!"
"Yeah, I would like to see that" laughed Ben.
"And of course, we, er, have to go back to school tomorrow" sighed Gwen as they were getting back onto the trailer with Grandpa Max.
"Apparently, yes you two do" said Grandpa Max and began to start up the trailer again.
The scene then promptly ends as the trailer driven by Grandpa Max heads off into the distance, with a somewhat belated victory for Ben who didn't really want to go back to school.
