Benjamin Tennyson, preferably "Ben", sat at his school desk, twitching every second. He could hardly keep still. Any 15-year old would be this excited if there was only 30 seconds left of school until summer.

"Come one, just 30 more seconds," Ben muttered to himself.

He stared at the Ultimatrix on his arm. It seemed to squeeze his wrist tighter every second.

5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1! The school bell rang.

Ben couldn't hold it in any longer. He jumped onto his desk like a maniac with a wild look in his eyes. "SCHOOL'S OUT!"

He jumped off the desk, picked up his book-bag, rushing out of the class and out the door of the school. Behind him, he could hear his fellow classmates following suit, screaming and running out of the class. Ben stepped aside to avoid the wave of kids that was coming. Even though there was over a thousand kids at his school, within ten minutes, Ben was the only one standing at the front steps of the school. Even the teachers were gone.

"Stupid Kevin," Ben said out loud. "Late as usual".

Just then, there was the screech of car wheels and a green car appeared. The windows rolled down, revealing Kevin with a wide grin on his face.

"Well, Tennyson? Get in!" Ben stared at Kevin for a moment, then hopped into the back seat of the car. Gwen was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Ben, did you have a good last day?"

Ben groaned. "Come on, Gwen. Don't try to act like my mom". Gwen frowned. If Ben had continued to listen to Gwen, he would've heard her mumble "Dweeb" under her breath.

Suddenly, something slammed into the front of Kevin's car. Instinctively, the three teens rolled out of the car right before it skidded across the street, slammed into a pole and exploded.

BOOM! There was a small fire and a lot of smoke. Pieces of the car flew out in different directions. They would've been crushed by the car door if Gwen hadn't protected them with a magic shield.

"No, no!" Kevin started to moan. "NOT MY CAR!"

Kevin turned into solid rock, ready to fight. Gwen looked around to see if Ben was hurt. Of course, Ben was a quick responder and his hand hovered over the Ultimatrix, not sure if it was a car crash or an alien attack. There was way too much smoke to be sure. Out of nowhere, a blue laser beam shot into the sky, clearing the smoke. Ben slammed down on the Ultimatrix, transforming into Diamondhead. It was the Forever Knights.

It was about 20 of them, all standing guard around a high-tech cannon.

"They haven't attacked in months" Gwen said. "Why would they be targeting us now".

"Who cares?" Kevin growled. "All I know is that someone is gonna' PAY FOR MY CAR!" Kevin rushed forward, transforming his hand into a giant rock hammer. He swiped a handful of Forever Knights away with his hand.

"Hey, leave some for me!" Ben held out his hands as diamonds shot out, blowing up the cannon. He followed Kevin into battle.

Gwen shook her head slowly. "Boys". She too rushed into the crowd of Forever Knights.

A moment later, the three teens had beaten the Forever Knights. Kevin insisted on chasing them down and destroying their base for revenge, but Gwen held him back.

"What did they want?" Gwen wondered.

Ben shrugged. "Bad guys are bad guys, and sometimes they just attack because they want to. There's not always a reason."

After cleaning up the remains of his car, Kevin called Grandpa Max to take them home.

Miles and Miles away...

The Forever Knight bowed at his master's feet.

"Did everything go as planned?" the King inquired.

"Yes, sir" the knight said proudly. "They behaved just as you predicted."

"Did you collect the information needed?"

"Yes, sir."

The King tapped the handle of his sword for a moment then nodded. "Very well, you are dismissed."

After the knight left, a figure stepped out of the shadow behind the throne. "I am pleased that everything is going as we planned," the figure said.

The King chuckled. "I cannot wait until our final plan is put into action."

"Yes," the figure also chuckled. "And when we are finished, Ben Tennyson will wish he never messed with us".
