A/N: So sorry for not updating in... Wow, has it really be a year? Real life got in the way... This has actually been typed up on my computer for a while, I just never got around to posting it. Hopefully I'll update with a third and final chapter soon. Thank you so much to everyone who read, reviewed and favourited this story, it's meant a lot...

Anyway, on with the story, enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I still don't own Ben10, wish I did but I don't... Sigh...

Ben hated seeing Gwen like this. She just sat there in the corner of the small escape pod, tear trails marking her cheeks, staring into oblivion. She looked as helpless as he felt. In a few minutes they would be arriving back at Earth, leaving Kevin to deal with Ragnorok alone. The silence in the small craft was deafening to him yet he wasn't sure what to say that would break the silence between them.

"Gwen... I- I'll...He'll be okay. I promise," He finished lamely.

Gwen didn't even look up at him, she just carried on looking out of the glass window pane behind him as if the answers to all their problems were held between the cold, hard glass and the large ship lost somewhere behind them in the inky, dark void. Falling to the floor, Ben dropped his head. Fighting back the rising feeling of hopelessness he whispered, "For both our sakes, please let him be okay."

...Beep...Beep...Beep... The noise was begining to get on Kevin's nerves. As he slowly regained consiousness the searing pain in the back his head only annoyed him further. Pulling himself upright slowly, he began to wonder how he would shut down the machine that was sucking the energy out of the sun. Stumbling to the right quickly after an arc of energy passed too close to him for comfort he began to panic. Something felt wrong. Standing up he began to stumble toward the alien in front of him. Kevin still had a job to do. Walking forward Kevin didn't notice the blood on the wall behind him. Rocks don't bleed, do they?

Ragnorok hadn't noticed that Kevin had awoken yet, instead he was focused on the view of the sun of front of him. The once large, yellow ball in space was becoming darker and shrinking. With all the energy he had absorbed from the sun had wouldn't need to do another job again. Satisfied with how much energy he was absorbing he turned around to finish off the annoying teen.

"What? Where is he?"

"Who me?" Smirked Kevin appearing from behind Ragnorok. "I'm right here. And now, I'm gonna kick your butt!" Morphing his hands into large hammers Kevin began swinging them at the villian.

Ragnorok evaded most of the hits and managed to get in a few of his own but they were both becoming exhausted, it was just a matter of who fell first. Throwing another wave of energy towards Kevin, Ragnorok hit one of the control panels causing sparks to fly, "No!"

Seeing the grey aliens reaction to the control panels being destroyed Kevin turned his attention to destroying the ship rather than Ragnorok.

"Fool! Don't you know how unstable the energy matrix can be?"

He did. In fact Kevin knew all to well how dangerous energy could be, it turned people into mosters.

Just then Kevin was thrown to the wall by a bolt of electricity from one of the consoles. Picking himself up he stepped away from the wall he was thrown against just in time for Ragnorok to throw him against another. And another. And another. Kevin was losing consciousness again, he wouldn't last much longer at this rate.

So much for avenging you, eh Dad, he thought.

"Any last words, Levin?" Ragnorok pulled Kevin from the ground by the neck and began squeezing. Kevin didn't reply but looked behind the alien at the fading sun. Annoyed by his silence, Ragnorok lifted Kevin higher so that his feet no longer touched the floor, "Shame, your father was such a talker." Smirking, he threw Kevin to the floor and walked away.

"Entering Earth atmosphere in 3 minutes."

Ben needed to think of something. He knew they couldn't just leave Kevin, he could get hurt. Plus Gwen would never forgive him if he did something stupid, but this was Kevin. Kevin always had to do something stupid. Smashing his fist into one of the sides of the escape pod a small panel fell down exposing a mass of wires and circuitry gathered in the walls small opening.

Turning to see if Gwen had noticed he saw she was curled up in the corner, with her arms around her legs with her head resyting on her knees. Pulling off more of the metal plating Ben saw a small console with all the wires running to and from it. The ships main computer. With an idea forming in his head, Ben turned the Omnitrix, selecting the alien that would get the job done.

Slamming down the dial he silently prayed that the Omnitrix would work properly just this once...
