5 Testing The Armor

Ben twisted the dial and looked at Tony.

"I hope this works."

He slammed the faceplate down.

"Spider Monkey!"

Ben then turned to Azmuth.

"Twist the dial counterclockwise and slap it."

Ben did as he was told and watched as armor started forming from the symbol on his chest to all over his body. The only thing that wasn't covered was tip of his tail.

"This really feels weird," Ben said as he looked at his four arms and hands. A repulser was on each one.

Tony, still in his suit, walked over and motioned for Ben to follow.

"Where are we going?" Ben asked as he followed Tony out of the Armory. He was holding one of Helen's hands and she didn't mind it in the slightest that her fiance was at least a foot-and-a-half shorter than her.

"Okay, Ben. Let's take to the air."

Ben looked at the Iron Man suit as Tony left the ground.

"Flex your hands," Tony said.

Ben flexed all twelve of his hands fingers and the repulsers all ignited. With a bit of effort, he was able to get his balance and took to following Tony.

"This is so cool!" Ben said.

Ben landed and looked at the red and gold symbol on his chest. He then slapped it and the armor retracted.

"Ben."

He looked down at Azmuth.

"You cannot use your armor on the Vaxasurian."

"Huh?" Ben asked.

"The one you call Humungousaur."

"Why?"

"Because there is not enough armor to encase that transformation. Also, you would destroy the armor if you enlarged in size. And I warn you that you must use the armor only as a last resort."

Ben nodded. He then slapped one of his hands over the symbol and returned to being human.

"For the armor while you're in human form, just twist the dial one half clockwise turn and one quarter counterclockwise turn.

Ben did so and the armor started sliding out from under the Ultimatrix and all around his body.

"Okay," Tony said, "I need that."

Ben smiled as the helmet, the final piece of armor, formed over his head.

"Okay," Ben said as he launched into the air. "I'm ready for a fight."

Tony nodded before he shot into the air.

"Okay, Ben. Let's see what you've got."

Hours passed as Tony and Ben flew around, Tony teaching Ben everything there was to know about his suit. It was only when Tony's suit started to run low on power that they stopped for the day.

"That was good," Tony said as he dropped to the ground. With a command, his suit started to retract back into the backpack it once was.

"Thanks," Ben said. He twisted the faceplate of the Ultimatrix and his suit started to retract back into the device.

"I will never know how Azmuth managed to get the entire armor to fit into that little device."

Ben laughed as he walked over to Helen.

"Hey," he said as he shook her awake.

She didn't wake up, she just continued to sleep. So he picked her up and sat down with her in his lap, her snuggling close with a content smile.

"There is something that you never told me."

Ben looked up to see Gwen standing there.

"And that is?"

"How she can change from human to her alien form."

Be wiggled his left wrist.

"I was able to repair her genetic damage. That was what was keeping her as a Kineceleran."

Gwen nodded as she looked at the girl sleeping in Ben's arms.

"I still can't believe you chose her over Julie."

"I already told you what Julie said. She didn't like the hero work."

"That's not the only reason."

"She also knew that I loved Helen. Knew it before even I did. She was okay with it. She even had another guy in her sights."

Gwen nodded again.

"What are you thinking?" Ben asked.

"When are you getting married?"

Ben shrugged his shoulders.

"We haven't talked about it yet."

He tightened his grip on the girl in his arms and kissed the top of her head.

"You really lover her," Gwen stated.

Ben nodded.

"Is there something else?"

Ben shook his head.

"We've taken this relationship very seriously."

Gwen smiled as she placed a hand on the shoulder that Helen wasn't leaning against.

"We've got incoming," Tony said as he stood at the console. "Looks like a dozen or more ships. And they're all landing around the Armory."

Ben looked at Helen, Gwen, and Kevin.

"Looks like we've got to tangle with some goons."

Been shifted forms into a Kineceleran.

"I will never get tired of using this form," he said as he looked at the Ultimatrix on his wrist. Even when he had changed forms, the device had clung tight to his arm.

Helen smiled as she also changed forms.

Tony used Extremist to get his suit on.

Rhodey and Pepper quickly got into their armor while Keven walked over to the wall and absorbed it into his skin as armor.

"Everyone ready?"

Gwen looked at Kevin.

"I'm going to do it," she said.

Kevin shook his head.

"No, Gwen. You still need more practice."

Gwen sighed and nodded. Her hands then were enveloped in her lavender mana and her eyes glowed pink.

"Let's go," she said, her voice sounding as if there were two of Gwen.

Ben looked at Kevin.

"She's been practicing using her full Anodite powers while she's human," Kevin informed Ben.

Ben looked at his cousin before nodding.

"Let's go kick some ass," Ben said. He and Helen then started walking slowly toward the door.

"Ben Tennyson. Where is he?"

Tony, Rhodey and Pepper stood in front of some Plumber Elites.

"I have no idea who you're talking about," Tony said.

The Plumber pointed toward the giant green ship.

"I don't know whose ship that is."

"We know that Tennyson is here. Now hand him over."

A blazing blue blur slammed into some of the men. Not even a second later, another blue blur could be seen going in the opposite direction and knocking more men down.

"Halt!" the man in charge ordered as the blue blurs came closer to him.

The blurs stopped.

"Helen Wheels," he said when he recognized her. "You are under arrest."

"Oh?" the other Kineceleran replied.

"Just how are you? This is official Plumber business."

The second morphed back into Ben Tennyson.

"I don't think you want to try anything with my fiancee," Ben said as he glared at the guy. He then started moving the Ultimatrix's dial while not even looking at the selection. When he slammed his hand down on the dial, he towered over the man.

"Way Big!"

The man started shooting his gun.

"I don't think that will help," Ben said as he reached down and picked the man up. "Now I think you should leave. If you or any more Plumbers come after me or my fiancee, I'll throw you into deep space."

The man glared at Ben.

Ben dropped the man and Gwen caught him in a manna sphere. She then put him on the ground in front of a ship. She then gathered the other men up and did the same for them, placing them in front of their respective ships.

"Watch yourself, Tennyson. This isn't over."

Ben waited until the man was in his ship and preparing to take off.

"You might want to buckle up!" Ben said as he picked the ship up and tossed it as hard as he could. "And it's outta here!" He then slammed his hand onto the red and gold symbol on his chest.

"You got rid of them," Tony said as he walked up to Ben.

"No. I just gave them a warning. They won't listen."

"So what do we do?" Keven asked. "We could go and try to take this guy head-on."

Ben shook his head.

"We need a plan if we do that," he said. He then started walking over to his bride-to-be. "What do you think we should do?" he asked.

"I think we should talk to Azmuth. He's the one that can come up with a better plan."

Ben smiled ans he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and walked toward the entrance of the Armory with everyone in tow.

Here you are. Chapter 5. Sorry for the long wait. I had to get back into the story.

Ben has just tested his armor and enjoyed every minute of it. What will Azmuth say about Kevin's plan? What will Azmuth's be? You'll just have to wait and find out. Til then,

Talon Earthstone
