Hello everyone, I am so sorry for the MAJOR delay of the third chapter. I have not been able to watch any of the Ben 10 Alien Force episodes. I will try to find a way to watch them again. Once again, I am terribly sorry for the long, long wait.
Thank you all for you patience! :D
Kevin's eye's slowly open, he looks at everyone in a daze. Ben then changes back into his human form. Kevin quickly sits up and struggles to pull his hands away from each other. "Energy cuffs - you can't escape." The Plumber informs Kevin. "Ain't nothing there to absorb."
"Gwen, you still got some of that stuff in your hair." Ben says to Gwen.
Gwen quickly puts her finger through her hair and looks.
"Other side." Kevin says to Gwen. She puts her hand on the other side as Kevin told her, and a squishy sound came from her hair as she touch it.
"Eeeeww!" Gwen said.
"I must've missed a spot... sorry about that." Alexis said.
"No, no, it's... just fine." Gwen said.
"Time we had a talk, tough guy." The Plumber said. "These weapons run on ether-point energy cells, a dangerous technology way too advanced for humans. They shouldn't even be on this planet."
"So? How's that my problem?" Kevin asked with a shrug.
"While we were fighting, the Forever Knights got away with a crate full of them." Ben informed Kevin.
"You set up the deal." The Plumber said. "You're going to tell me where they are."
"Kevin, people could be hurt." Gwen said putting her hand on Kevin's shoulder. Kevin's eye's widened and Gwen quickly took a step back, her cheeks got a little pink.
"You're in a lot of trouble, son." The Plumber said. "I'm giving you a chance to help yourself here."
"You don't have to convince me." Kevin said. "Those guys ran off before I got paid. I'm happy to help find those deadbeats." The Plumber took the energy cuffs off Kevin. Kevin lead them to his car and they all got in, Gwen in the passenger seat, The Plumber, Ben, and Alexis sitting between the two in the back.
"Can you show me how to use the Omnitrix?" Alexis asked Ben as Kevin started the car.
"Yeah sure, let me see it." Ben said holding his hand out. Alexis gave Ben her hand and he pushed in the two side's of the Omnitrix. "Oh I see, you need to activate it first." Ben said.
"Activate it?" Alexis asked confusingly.
"Reboot it." Ben rephrased.
"Oh... well... how do I do that?" Alexis asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I'll do it for you." Ben said, turning the dial on the watch.
"So, how did you say you got this again?" Ben asked as he was activating it.
"Well before my dad left he gave me this watch. He told me to keep it safe for him. A few days after he went missing I got curious and put it on, couldn't get it off me since." Alexis explained.
"Yeah, once the Omnitrix is on, there's really no getting it off." Ben told her.
"Wish I knew that before I put it on..." Alexis mumbled.
"You said that once you put on the Omnitrix, your powers color change, correct?" Gwen asked turning her head and looking at Alexis.
"Yup." Alexis answers with a nod.
"Maybe somehow the Omnitrix cross-referenced something in your DNA." Gwen said.
"Huh... never thought of it that way." Alexis said as she was watching Ben turn the dial on the watch again.
Her Omnitrix flashed and a hologram of an alien appeared on it. "Got it!" Ben said cheerfully.
"Thanks... now how do I change into the alien?" Alexis asked.
"Well you push these side's here, then you turn this dial in till you see the alien species you want, then you slam the dial down. But you might want to test that out when we're out of the car." Ben said.
"Okay, cool." Alexis said. For a while everyone was pretty quiet, but the Plumber broke the silence.
"I still think I should drive." The Plumber said.
"Nobody drives the car but me." Kevin says.
"You were telling us about the aliens." Gwen said.
"I don't know anything about the ones we fought today." The Plumber said. "Never met that kind before." Ben then clicked the side of his Omnitrix and the dial opened up, he switched the holograms to each alien.
"I don't see them in here - not that I know how to work this thing anymore." Ben said.
"Hey you just-" Alexis said.
"Yeah, well that's all I know." Ben interrupted defensively.
"Maybe after you get your license, pee-wee." Kevin said with a grin.
"Who won our fight again?" Ben asked angrily accidentally squishing Alexis. "Oh, I remember - me!"
Alexis grinned about what Ben and Kevin said to each other. "There's been a lot of alien activity on the Earth lately." The Plumber said. "Don't know why. Your grandfather thought maybe the weapons deal would lead us to whatever's causing all the interest. Now he's missing."
"Knowing Grandpa Max, he's probably at a restaurant enjoying a roasted cockroach salad." Gwen said. "It's a wonder that all that weird food didn't kill him."
"He's not dead!" Ben snapped, Alexis flinched since Ben's attitude switched quickly. "Stop making joke about him!"
Kevin quickly stopped the car which freaked everyone out. "Don't talk to her like that." Kevin said to Ben angrily while he turned around and pointed a finger threateningly. Alexis' light blue eye's widened with surprise that Kevin actually cared.
"I'll talk to her any way I-" Ben said then stopped. "You're right... I'm sorry, Gwen."
"I know you're worried about Grandpa." Gwen said looking a Ben.
"I just wish he were here." Ben said looking down with a frown. "He would know what to do. He always knows what to do."
"Well he ain't." The Plumber said to Ben. "You're the one with the Omnitrix. You're going to have to figure out how to get things done on your own." Ben nodded.
Kevin then continued the way to where the Forever Knights' location. "This is it." Kevin said as they pulled up to a castle.
"Subtle - nobody would think to look for Knight in here." Ben said sarcastically.
"You didn't." Kevin said, Ben looked at Kevin angrily.
"How do we get it?" The Plumber asked.
"Gwen?" Ben said looking at her, Gwen nodded and they all got out of the car. Gwen stood in front of the drawbridge and her hands glowed pink.
"Here I can help." Alexis said to Gwen.
"Okay, that's fine." Gwen said. "You get the left side." She added, Alexis nodded.
Alexis' hand started glowing purple and both of them started pulling down the drawbridge together, they both groan as they pull it down. When it got to the ground they all entered the castle together. Gwen lifted up her left hand and her hand was glowing brightly pink.
The place was full of Knight armor, jewelry, and different relics and artifacts. "There's no one here." Gwen said. "You sure this is the right place?"
"There's a hidden door. Keep looking." Kevin said, he then grinned as he saw a golden chalice, golden necklace, and other priceless things. He shoved the golden necklace into his pocket and then picked up the golden chalice.
Alexis shook her head and rolled her eye's. "Maybe you should have brought a shopping cart." Ben said placing his hands on his hips. Kevin looked at Ben then jerked his head away and examined a gold coin. Alexis looked behind the Knight armor and behind some hanging banner's. She walked up next to Ben and looked at the statue's of the Knight armor Ben was looking at.
"I don't like the looks of this." Ben said. Ben backed up a little bit and accidentally bumped into another thing of Knights armor, he gasped and jumped back as it fell towards him.
"Ben!" Alexis said angrily.
"Come on, man! What are you doing?" Kevin said.
Alexis backed up as she saw a dragon's head move behind Ben. "Sorry. Guess I'm just a little..." Ben said.
"You might want to look behind you." Alexis said, her eye's wide.
"paranoid!" Ben said in fear as he turned and saw the dragon. The dragon did a low growl.
Alexis, Gwen, Kevin, and the Plumber all run away from the Dragon as fast as they could. The dragon kept chasing them, Alexis looked at Ben. "So we gonna- Agh!" As she spoke the dragon slammed against the ground, the floor below them did a ripple effect they all jumped just in time.
The dragon roared with anger. They went through a doorway and just barely escaped the dragon, but the Forever Knights were right in front of them. "So much as a time to catch out breathe." Alexis said panting a little.
"Nobody move! Hands on your head!" The front Forever Knight ordered pointing a sword at them.
"Make me!" Kevin taunted as he absorbed the material on a pillar next to him. He picked up the stone tiled floor and slammed it against the ground and made a ripple effect on the ground, the Forever Knights flew off their feet.
"Nice move!" Alexis said excitedly. More Forever Knights came charging at them with they lazor-lances that Kevin sold them. They began firing at them and Alexis quickly made a shield to protect Ben, Gwen, the Plumber, Kevin, and herself from being shot.
"You don't have to do that." Gwen told her.
"I'm use to using my power's myself, I'm gonna have to get use to being in a team." Alexis says with a shrug.
Gwen made a shield in front of Alexis' shield and said. "I got it, why don't you use your Omnitrix?" Alexis nodded, her shield then disappeared.
The Plumber began shooting the Forever Knights. Alexis pushed the sides, spinned the dial, then slammed it down. Nothing happened. "Um..." Alexis said confused. She tried it again. "Ben, I've got a problem."
"Yup. Noticed." Ben said running over and looked at her Omnitrix.
"Did you reboot it up right?" She asked.
"Of course I did!" Ben said. Ben tried it himself, it didn't work. "Must be busted." He said with a frown.
"Great, that's just-" The dragon roared angrily and broke through the wall.
"We'll figure this out later." Ben quickly said, he ran towards the dragon and dialed his own Omnitrix.
This is Echo Echo, another popular alien of Ben's. To me this is one of his strongest alien transformation's.
He multiplies and then shouts. "Echo! Echo! Echo! Got him!" He add's as he jumped on the dragon, the dragon fell on it's back. Alexis got curious and dialed her Omnitrix one last time, she turned the dial over and over again, all it showed was Echo Echo.
"What the... oh well." She said and then slammed the dial.
She became Echo Echo also, but her eye's were purple and her Omnitrix symbol was purple. "Woah, this is weird." She said as she observed her arm, her voice also changed like Ben's Echo Echo voice.. She also mulitplied herself and jumped onto the dragon. "Hi Ben!" She said happily.
"What? How did you-" Ben said.
"I don't know, it just... somehow kinda worked." She responded. Alexis looked over and saw Kevin slam two Forever Knights' head's together, "Ben what do I do?" She asked.
"Well, just do what you feel like you should do." Ben responded. An explosion happened near Kevin, but Alexis had to keep her focus on the dragon as they were swinging around and gripping on tight. "Got him! Got him!" Ben Shouted.
"I don't!" Alexis said as she flew off.
"Me- either!" Ben said as he flew off himself. "Use your power... NOW!" Ben shouted. They both scream out really loud using an Echo type power (with their duplicate's.) The Dragon starts thrashing its head and growling.
After the power grew more and more powerful the dragon fell apart, piece by piece. It finally did a small explosion. Ben and Alexis' duplicate's gathered into one another's self.
"You could warn somebody when you're gonna do that." Kevin said.
"Seriously, I've got earplugs in my purse." Gwen said.
"Sorry." Ben and Alexis said.
"That's all of them." The Plumber said gathering the last of the weapons. "If you wouldn't mind..."
Ben walked forward and used the same power on the weapons, they all blew up. Alexis changed back to normal. "That was awesome." She said happily. But she turned around to see the Plumber's suit leaking blue liquid.
"Hey, are you okay?" Ben asked, he then transformed back to normal. "There's water leaking out of your suit."
The Plumber put his hand near the gash in his suit and looked at the liquid. "That's not water." He said weakly.
