A/N: Thanks to Kisdota-The Freak Gamer for their kind words. I guess I'll keep up the work with keeping chapters long (though this one ended up longer then expected.). Anyway, no one reads headers anyway, so I'm just going to get on with the story.

CHAPTER FOUR: ANASTASIA
When Ben woke up, he realized two things, one - Mei was no where to be seen, and two - he was lying in a soft cushiony bed covered in fluffy pink pillows, and he was covered by a pink thick comforter. He leaned up and there was no dizziness or nausea that he felt the last time he was awake. He rubbed his face with his right hand and looked over to a window, letting light fall over him like a sheet. He squinted into the brightness before turning away.
"Time to go Alien and get out of here." Ben smiled. He raised his hand and gasped. There was some sort of metal contraption covering his wrist, it looked like a bulky metal wristband, covering the Omnitrix completely. There was no way he could go Alien without pressing the dial. He swore and pushed the blankets off of him.
He looked down at his clothing. His old outfit had been removed, and instead he was wearing beige leather pants. Ones that looked like it was just pulled off of an animal, and placed upon him. He was wearing a pure white shirt, open down the chest, and tied up loosely with what looked like animal hair, with a collar made of what looked like animal fur. It reminded him of typical Amazonian clothing from the history books. He made a face and looked for his old clothing, they were placed on a table, neatly folded. He scrambled for them and quickly changed back.
"Don't like Amazarian style?"
Ben jumped and whirled around as Mei strode into the room, wearing a leather dress, and matching boots. She walked over to Ben and wrapped her arms around him. He tried to push her away once again, but she once again over-powered him. She reached up and kissed him hard on the lips and stepped back. "If you refuse to wear our clothing, you'll stand out like a sore thumb."
She released him and stepped back, "What is your name anyway?"
Ben looked out the window at the freedom that now seemed so far away, "Ben."
"I thought so." Mei sighed. She walked over to the bed and collapsed, "How cool is that? The Ben 10 is my Mate?"
"Since you know who I am, can you please let me go?" Ben begged,
"I…can't." Mei shook her head, "I refuse to die like the others."
"I don't understand." Ben said, folding his arms, "You say you'll die without me, but you don't want me for a bodyguard?"
Mei smiled, "You really want to know?"
Ben nodded slowly.
"You are not to flip over your papers until I say so. Keep your pencils flat on your desks. You have exactly an hour to finish this exam, with an additional thirty minutes if necessary. No one is allowed to leave the classroom until the hour is over. Do I make myself clear?" The teacher ordered, handing out papers to everyone in the class.
Julie swallowed hard and looked over at Ben's empty seat. The teacher walked right on by it. She sighed and looked back down as he handed her a paper. They had heard nothing from this assassin all week. It was now Thursday, and it was the end of the finals. Pretty soon it would be summer vacation. With everything that had been happening, she hadn't put to much thought into studying.
Gwen sighed as she stacked her books neatly into her backpack as her teacher started to hand out the exam. She sent a quick glance at Kevin, it had taken quite a lot of convincing, and a lot of threatening to withholding sex in order for him to finally agree to come to the exam. It's what Ben would want. She shook her head as she remembered that night…she had called out Ben's name during sex…and liked it. She did not want to admit it, but she could have almost pictured the smaller teen on top of her instead of her boyfriend. Her hands balled into fists, no! It was not like that, Ben was her cousin, and incest was gross. She forced the memory to the back of her mind, its only because she missed Ben - or so she kept telling herself.
"You may start your exams….now." The teacher commanded.
Gwen took a deep breath and started writing down answers. About halfway she sighed and dropped her pencil. What did it matter? Soon she would not have any money to go to collage or university anyway. She shook her head again and picked up the pencil. No, that's what student loans were for. She was not going to give up.
Kevin looked up from his paper and tapped his pencil loudly against the desk. Two students looked over at him annoyed. He sighed, this was why he wanted to skip the exam. It was way too boring, and he could find better things to do with his time, like search for Ben…
…Ben. He could not stop thinking about the brunette since he disappeared. Every waking moment he thought about where he could be, what he was doing, or if he was alright for that matter. In his dreams, he saw him locked in a cage, beaten and bloody, and all Kevin Levin did was watch his friend suffer. He had reformed his entire life for that boy, stalked him as a child, gave up his life of crime to help him defeat the Highbreeds, and now, even given up his freedom and went to school just because it made him and Gwen happy. Ben was the first person who ever offered to be his friend, the only person who excepted him when the rest of the world turned against him. Ben had saved Kevin from a world of crime, now in return, here he was sitting in an exam instead of helping him. He had never felt so useless before in his life.
Ring…Ring…Ring…
Kevin jumped as his cell phone went off in his pocket. Nearly every eye in the class turned towards him. He ignored them and quickly dug the green and black phone out and clicked the talk button. "Kevin here…oh…really? Shit. Okay then…thanks."
He jumped up in his seat as he flicked the phone shut, "Gwen!" He called, getting an evil glare from the teacher. He ignored it and ran over to the Anodite, grabbing her arm, "We're going. Now!"
"Excuse me Mr. Levin." The teacher snapped, standing up from his desk, "But we're in the middle of an exam here!"
Kevin turned sharply towards the other, "I'm sorry Prof. But my mother just died. I've got to go - now!"
"O-oh." The teacher sat back down with a dumbfounded look, "Well, hurry up then."
He pulled Gwen to her feet, and the two ran from the classroom.
"What's the matter Kevin?" Gwen gasped as they took off through the hallway,
"I'll tell you after we get Julie." Kevin said sharply, "Where's her classroom?"
"Over there, follow me!" Gwen huffed, running in front of Kevin, and turning down a branching hallway.
"You may now turn in your papers…"
The door burst open, causing the teacher to jump. "My lord children where is the fire?"
"Kevin? Did you find him!" Julie gasped, jumping up in her seat,
"Are you talking about Ben?" The teacher gasped.
"Come ON Julie!" Gwen said hurriedly. Julie grabbed her purse and left all her books and school bags. She took off after Kevin and Gwen, leaving the entire Math class gossiping behind her.
Kevin refused to say anything until they were safely inside the camero. He pressed a button, and the entire car became completely soundproof. "Fuck!" He muttered, "I'm going to miss this baby."
"What is it Kevin?" Gwen panted, "Who called you?"
Kevin stayed silent for a second or two before finally turning around to face them, "It was Max. A pod just broke through the roof of the Rust Bucket."
"Amazarians are completely different then humans." Mei explained, standing up and walking over to Ben. She easily pulled him over to the bed and forced him to sit down, "In our race, woman have complete control, and men are nothing but breeding tools." Ben bit his lip to hold back any form of laughter or shock. He focused on listening to what Mei had to say. The Alien girl nodded her head and continued, "In our race, the Woman go through our reproductive cycle once a month, similar to your human woman's periods. But, unlike the human's periods, we don't 'bleed' the egg out. If we don't get rid of the egg within a certain amount of time, it becomes poisonous to us."
Ben nodded, "And that's why you needed me?" He swallowed hard, "To…get rid of your egg?"
Mei looked away from him, folding her hands on her lap, "Amazarian women start their reproductive cycles at age fifteen. I just started mine recently."
"You're only fifteen?" Ben spat. He felt suddenly sick to his stomach.
"The only way to get rid of your egg is to 'mate' with a male, injecting the egg into their bodies. On our planet, men carry the children." Mei explained, she looked back at Ben, "So many of my friends have already died due to the poison of the egg. I did not want to die as well."
Ben blushed and nearly choked, "B-but human men don't give birth."
Mei shook her head, "You do. Ben, because of the Omnitrix, you have begun to absorb many characteristics from all of your aliens. You saw it with Big Chill, remember?"
Ben's blushing face paled. Of course he remembered that, Kevin never let up about it for months afterwards.
"Well, you are the only human male in history to ever be able to become pregnant." Mei quipped, "So that's why Dana Lyn and the Shadow Brothers chose you. I sent them out to find a guy who has the appearance of someone no one would fight me for because I'm so weak, someone who I can overpower, and someone who can carry my eggs."
Ben jumped back, falling off of the bed, "No way! I'm not doing it!"
"But!" Mei sobbed, climbing down over top of Ben,
"D-Does that mean I'm already?" Ben gulped,
Mei smiled and stroked Ben's hair, "No. That egg was a dud, and for some reason, the Omnitrix did something weird last night, it disintegrated the egg while changing your physical properties."
"W-what?" Ben gasped,
"I looked it up." She giggled, leaning up, but still straddling him to the floor, "Anyway, the Omnitrix, last night, made it so you can have children. I'm not sure what else it did, but I wasn't going to chance it. So I called up Myaxx and paid her the last of my money to create a wristband that would conceal the powers of the Omnitrix. She said that this would keep you from using it, as well as stop the auto-DNA-absorption mechanism within it."
Ben looked down at the bulky metal thing and felt sick. He looked up at Mei, "B-but wouldn't your population sky rocket with a child-a-month thing? Maybe we shouldn't…you know…"
Mei giggled and bent down to quickly kiss Ben again on the lips, he gave up trying to fight her, knowing there was nothing he could do. Mei sighed and sat up. She walked over to the bed and sat down, "Sadly no. Our population is dwindling. Successful births on this planet is only one in every one-hundred children survive, and with our reproduction cycles, all the weaker women die. As well as many of my kind fight to the death over a single man. Oh, and plus when our Mate's get pregnant, a chemical reaction starts within our bodies, and we don't make a new egg for over a year…"
She went on for a little bit, but Ben had stopped listening. He entered a state of shock, sitting there on the cold hard ground that served as his prison. He closed his eyes. Was Gwen or Kevin ever coming to rescue him? They'd better do it fast before Mei entered another 'reproductive cycle'. Suddenly, he noticed he was trembling. His entire body shook and tears welled up in his eyes. Against his will, he let out a short, sharp, sob.
Mei turned towards him, "Oh! Baby what's wrong?"
Ben did not reply. He opened his eyes as tears spilt out from underneath them.
"Awe!" Mei sung. She jumped from the bed and scooped Ben up, she carried him over and placed him down in the center of the bed, "You're homesick aren't you?" She climbed over top of him and began kissing him lightly, "It'll pass. Soon you'll like being here with me."
Ben shook his head against his tears. He wanted to reach up and wipe them away, but Mei was kneeling on his arms.
"You know," She whispered, "We could squeeze in a quickie before I have to leave for school."
"N-no!" Ben yelled, but it was too late. She was already forcing his shirt off, and kicking his pants down.
Ben struggled once again, but to no avail. She over powered him and he once again felt an overwhelming pleasure erupt through his body. This time, the softness of the bed braced him as he arched back into it. He felt himself being pounded further and further into the feathers of the quilt until he felt like he could no longer breathe. The pleasure clouded his mind once again as she moaned his name, and his mind stopped working. He stopped struggling against the impossible and fell limp underneath her.
The pleasure exploded as waves of orgasms hit him. He called out loudly and bunched the quilt up into his hands. He felt himself climax, and second now he was going to explode and cum in her…
…wait? In her? She said that the last egg was a dud, but was that because it was not fertilized? Ben panicked, but the pleasure overpowered his brain and he just lay there, feeling himself swell. Any moment now he would feel that pain from last night…
…only that never happened. He felt himself release, pumping cum into her body as she arched back and screamed in delight. Both Ben and Mei collapsed in a sweaty pile on the bed.
"S-see?" She panted, "I told you the next time won't be so painful. I'm not ejecting an egg this time." She forced herself to stand up and sauntered out of the room. Seconds later Ben heard a shower start.
And the waterworks started. Ever since he got the Omnitrix, he was in control. Every bad guy they had come across, Ben and his gang had beaten them down. But now, here was a girl easily over powering him and raping him and there was nothing he could do about it! She was much stronger and faster then he was, as well as desperate not to ever succumb to the poison of that 'egg'. Egg…the word now terrified Ben. Within a month Mei would rape him again, and that unbearable pain would erupt through him once again, but this time, he would suffer much worse pain that lasted longer. He buried his head in his hands and cried.
"Kevin…Gwen…please, help me!" He cried.
Kevin pulled to the side of the road, slamming on the breaks, "Gwen? Gwen what is it?"
Gwen was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, her head in her hands, her fingers clenching balls of her hair tightly. She was crying, or more like bawling.
"Gwen!" Julie cried, leaning forward in her seat,
Kevin wrapped his arms around Gwen as she started to shake her head and muttering, chanted, "No, no, no, no!"
"What happened?" Kevin said sternly.
Kevin's voice was so serious that Gwen finally unclenched her hair and looked up at him, "It's Ben. I don't know how or why, but I sensed him. He's calling out to us…he needs our help!"
Julie sat back in her seat and fell silent. Kevin turned away from Gwen and clenched his teeth, it looked like he wanted to say something, but instead, put the car back into gear, and pulled out onto the road. No one said a word for the rest of the drive, and the only sounds to be heard was the occasional sob from Gwen. Finally, the Tennyson house came into view. Kevin parked the camero where Carl usually parked his station wagon, right next to the Rustbucket. The door to the re-vamped camper stood open, a huge hole ripped open in the top.
"He wasn't kidding when he said it came through the roof." Gwen sniffled, drying her eyes.
"Come on." Kevin snapped, running around the car to open the door for Gwen. The two girls climbed out of the car and walked into the RV.
"Grandpa?" Gwen asked.
"It's about time!" The old man said, "I called you several minutes ago!"
"We had to get here from the school." Gwen snapped, folding her arms, "Anyway, what was the pod about?"
Grandpa Max moved from the driver seat and over to the table. He sat down and motioned for the three teenagers to sit as well. "The pod contained a Holoviewer, or a Halodisk, whatever you want to call them." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a flat, circular disk. He pressed the button in the middle, and a large, gorilla-like version of Spider-Monkey, wearing a fancy suit appeared in a hologram.
"News in the Underworld suggests that you are looking for Madam Anastasia. Kevin Levin, if you are still interested in hiring the Lady for an off-planet mission, she will hear your case tomorrow at midnight in the swamp near Anahuac, Texas. If you are a second late, the Lady will dismiss your claim. Please bring appropriate identification, and you are only allowed to bring Gwen Tennyson and Julie Yamamoto along with you. Any disregards to this message, forfeits any deals, and will lead to your demise."
The hologram disappeared, and Grandpa Max stashed it again in his pocket, "Looks like she doesn't want me there."
"That's not fair!" Gwen shouted,
"Gwen. We have to listen to Anastasia. It's the only hope to get Ben back." Kevin said softly. Gwen flinched from the tone in his voice and sat back down. She remembered her vision of Ben and nodded.
"Anahuac." Grandpa Max said, rubbing his chin, "Isn't that where we fought Dr. Animo at the Gaiter Fest?"
"Ugh." Gwen rolled her eyes, "Don't remind me."
"We have until tomorrow to get from Bellwood to Anahuac?" Julie asked, "Will we make it?"
"If we leave now and use Ship. We should." Kevin nodded.
"Be careful children." Grandpa Max said, "Anastasia may not be as powerful as a Pyrothanatos, but she is still a force to be reckoned with."
"You be careful too Grandpa." Gwen reached over and gave her grandfather a hug before hurrying out of the Rustbucket.
"See ya later gramps." Kevin waved.
Julie bowed her head, and hurried off after them.
When they were out on the Tennyson's front yard, Julie whistled. Within seconds, a giant green and black airship came soaring towards them. It landed in front of them with a loud: Shiiiiiiiiippppp!
"Good boy!" Julie smiled, she pet the side of the giant spacecraft, "Ready to go guys?"
Gwen should have felt happy. They were just a day away from meeting the one person who could help them save Ben. Then why was she so nervous? Something was tugging on the back of her mind. Why didn't Anastasia want Grandpa Max there? Why Anahuac? The day-long flight dragged on, and more thoughts exploded through her mind. What if this was a trap? If Kevin sent out a request for Anastasia and one of their enemies picked it up…
"We're here!" Julie said suddenly, snapping Gwen out of her thoughts. She looked up as the doorway opened into the swampy waters of the favorite Gaiter Fest spot.
They stepped out into the fog, sinking knee-deep into the muddy sludge.
"Gross." Gwen gagged, plugging her nose, "This smells worse then Ben as Swampfire."
"Look! Over there!" Julie pointed.
There, through the fog, a large dark shadow approached. Kevin stepped in front of the girls as Ship transformed back to his normal form. Through the fog, the shape started to materialize. Before long, the three of them stood in front of the large Gorilla-Man from the hologram.
"Exactly Midnight. You are Kevin Levin?" He asked,
"Yes." Kevin nodded.
"Identification please. All of you." He said, looking from Kevin to the girls.
Kevin pulled out his Plumber's Badge, and Gwen followed suit. Julie reached into her purse and pulled out her student card. The Gorilla-Man huffed and nodded, "Identification excepted. Follow me." He turned around and started walking through the swamp water to an old hovercraft. He motioned for them to step within it. Kevin grabbed Gwen's hand, and Julie's with the other and helped them onto the craft, before the Gorilla-Man stepped up as well and started the hovercraft.
Gwen knew where they were going before they even got there…the abandoned observatory. The hover craft stopped outside of it, and the Gorilla-Man climbed up a rope ladder.
"I'll go first, Julie follow me, and Gwen take the rear." Kevin whispered. Apparently, he was ready for a trap as well.
The inside of the observatory was in even worse shape then the last time they saw it. The telescope had collapsed into the swamp, taking a large portion of the walk-way with it. Gwen looked over and saw the spot where Grandpa Max had turned into that slug-like thing, it was nearly completely deteriorated now. She looked away at the spot where the telescope once rested. A figure was sitting upon a railing. Definitely a woman. Her head was hidden in the shadows, but her long, legs stretched down out into the light, covered completely in skin-tight black boots.
She pounced down from the railing and fell down gracefully in front of them. Gwen immediately felt jealous about the woman. She was taller then Gwen, and she was so skinny, but not past the point of sickliness. Her face was narrow and pointed, her thin lips were parted to reveal two long canine fangs. Her ears were pointed and stuck out from the sides of her head, like the stories of elves, and her eyes were wide and bright red, matching her red and black pixie-like hair. The black boots connected to an equally-skin-tight black tights that covered her entire legs and waist. A puffy, white peasant-styled top covered her breasts, and puffed out around the sleeves, slipping underneath a leather corset, the shirt frilled out underneath the bottom of the corset. She looked almost like a pirate in those movies, including a slender sword and gun strapped to her waist with a large, baggy, purple belt.
"Kevin Levin. I've heard rumors." She purred, her voice sounding dark and mischievous.
"Anastasia." Kevin whispered.
"Griffon." Anastasia snapped, turning to the Gorilla-like Arachnichimp, "Guard the door." She turned back to Kevin and the girls, "We've got business propositions to make."
Phew! Finished! Anyway, poor Ben…let's just hope that Team Tennyson can save Ben before next month arrives! …though if you remember, it's a three week ride to Demetrious, and they haven't even tracked him down yet! My original plan for Anastasia was to have her like a cat-like person 'a living Lucky-Girl'. But after looking at all the other Fan Fictions on here, there are WAY to many cat-like aliens and I wanted to do things a little more originally, so Anastasia looks like an Elf-like alien. Sorry for the cliff hanger!
Just wait for the next chapter! I have big plans! Next chapter…rated M.
