Here's chapter three for you Ben 10 lovers. Enjoy. :)
Chapter Three
After pulling up to the hospital, Ben and Kevin walked into the lobby. The receptionist told them that Gwen was still in surgery getting her broken bones reset. Ben noticed Kevin clenching his fist. It seemed that he was very protective of Gwen, and if anybody hurt her, they ended getting put in the hospital themselves. While waiting to hear from the doctor, Ben and Kevin sat down in the waiting room. Hearing footsteps behind them, the boys turned around to see Doctor Emmet Shapiro, the Tennyson family's physician. " Ben, I'm glad I ran into you. We just wheeled your cousin out of surgery. She suffered from multiple broken bones, massive internal bleeding, and nerve damage. She's lucky her anodite heritage has kept her alive. Unfortunately, she's still in critical condition, on life support, and also in a coma." Hearing those words, Kevin felt his heart drop. His girlfriend was in a world of pain, with the possibility that she might never wake up again. Selena was definitely gonna pay, that's for sure.
As the boy walked into Gwen's hospital room, Ben felt his heart sink at the sight of his cousin. She was laid up in a body cast, and an oxygen mask was attached to her face. Ben watched as Kevin sat down next to his girlfriend's bedside and held one of her hands. Ben knew from experience that Kevin deeply cared for Gwen as a boyfriend should. He also knew that whoever messed with Gwen usually ended up in the hospital. " Kevin, I need you to do a favor for me." Ben said as Kevin looked up at him. " What is it you need me to do Tennyson?" Kevin asked. " I need you to promise me that you'll take care of Gwen in case anything happens to me." Kevin looked shocked. " Ben, why do you sound like you're not coming back?" He asked. Ben looked at his best friend, " Because I'm gonna confront Selena alone and put an end to her reign of terror once and for all. " Ben, you can't do this alone! I mean look at what happened to Gwen here. Selena took her down with ease, and she's half alien. There's no way I'm letting you go fight my crazy sister by yourself Tennyson."
Ben realized that there was no point in arguing with Kevin. " Alright, we'll confront Selena together. Still, someone needs to protect Gwen. If Charmcaster or Darkstar learn she's hospitalized, they could try to seek revenge." Kevin looked up at Ben, " I'll call Max and have him come in. Might as well let him know what's happened." After Max arrived at the hospital, Ben and Kevin briefed him on what happened and left to go stop Selena before she could endanger more lives. Suddenly an emergency transmission came in on the police scanner. " Mayday, mayday. This is Officer Jackson calling all available S.W.A.T units to the scene of the Bellwood retirement home. We have some sort of mutant holding a bunch of senior citizens hostage along with a group of school children on a field trip. All units please respond." Ben looked at Kevin and the osmosian hit the gas pedal and sped to the retirement home. Once arriving on the scene, the boys showed their off their Plumbers badges and ran inside.
Once inside, Ben and Kevin saw Selena towering over her hostages, ready to strike. " Selena, that's enough. Leave those people alone!" Ben yelled as he went for the Ultimatrix and turned into Humungosaur. " About time you showed up Tennyson. I was getting bored with these people anyways." Selena said as she charged at Ben with XLR8's speed. Ben dodged her attack and sent Selena flying into a wall. " Kevin, I'll deal with Selena. You get everyone here to safety." Kevin nodded and began to help the people out of the building. " You have some nerve attacking the innocent just to get even with me." Ben said as Selena got back on her feet. " Yeah, well it's your fault Tennyson! I'm stuck as this mutant while my brother over there got to be a Plumber. It's not fair!" Ben looked at her sympathetically, " I'm sorry, but you need to be stopped before more people get hurt." Slamming down on his chest, he turned into Ultimate Humungosaur and charged at his foe. Things were gonna take an interesting turn now.
And that's the end of chapter three. Review and I will get chapter four typed up.
