The fight came a lot faster then Kevin wanted it too. He knew that by being in the past, he would eventually fight his old self, but not this soon. Not when things were just starting to be good, not when he was actually happy with how his life was, not when it was just him and Gwen.

Gwen was strong and could handle herself, but with just them two fighting against Vilgax and the Kevin's mutated past. It was hard coming up with plans on such short notice. Does he go after Vilgax or his past? He knew all of his old moves but Vilgax was very strong and he was worried for Gwen. Then there was the fact that she would probably go easy on the ten year old Kevin but he wouldn't show her any mercy. He didn't know what to do.

How the heck did Ben come up with plans so easily?!

"Enough of just standing around!" Kevin eleven shouted out before jumping in the air and headed right for Gwen. He used one of his four-arms hands and aimed for her head.

Reacting quickly, Gwen put up a shield and jumped back. "Well that's a new trick, but it still won't save your sorry butt!" Kevin eleven jumped at her again with more force then last time.

Kevin saw his old self fight Gwen and ran for her. "Gwen!" He almost reached her when Vilgax jumped in front of him and threw him to the ground.

"It would be wise for you to pay attention to yourself and your own battle." He said.

Kevin sat up from the ground and glared at Vilgax; he made a quick glance to Gwen and watched her put up more shields. He clenched his fists before running towards his car.

Vilgax watched this and laughed confidently. "It would seem fighting his past is much to hard for the boy. He's running away and abandoning you to fend for yourself." He turned his attention towards Gwen.

Gwen glared at Vilgax and remembered how much she hated him. "You don't anything about him. Kevin doesn't run away, he's not a coward!" She told him. She didn't know what Kevin was planning but she knew that he wouldn't leave her. She readied herself to attack Vilgax but was stopped by Kevin eleven.

He made a fist and punched at another one of her shields. He shattered it and used his tail to knock her to the ground. "What do you know? You don't know anything about me so don't act like you do." He spat at her. He didn't know why, but hearing her talk about his future self like that, like she cared about him, made him angry.

"I'll finish you off and make that you don't have any type of fu…ture!" He stopped mid-sentence when he heard something coming at him. He and Vilgax turned around and saw a green car coming right at them. Both jumped out of the way and the car stopped right in front of Gwen.

Once it stopped Kevin got out of his car and looked down at Gwen. He took her hand and pulled her up to her feet and got in front of her and glared at the two that had attacked them. "You're wrong. I'm nothing like you or the way I used to be. I'm different and people know it, Gwen knows it. She knows me a lot better then anyone I know." He told them the truth. He was different from his childhood and to him Gwen really was the one who truly understood him.

Gwen stared at Kevin with a slightly shocked look on her face. She had never seen him open up o much about her or himself. It was really sweet. "Kevin." She grabbed one of his hands in hers and smiled. "Thank you."

Kevin looked down at their joined hands and smiled back at her. "No problem." Time stopped once again for these two. They stared at each other and felt another bliss of happiness, they forgot all about the fight that was going on, they could only see and think about each other.

Vilgax watched the two from his spot with disgust. Watching them make lovey-dovey eyes and stuff disgusted him. He hated humans a lot but at this point he hates human love more. To him love was a weakness, if you must love something, then love power and only power. "Enough of this foolishness!" he brought the two out of their trance and made them focus. "Tell me where Ben Tennyson is and I'll make sure that your demise is painless!" He shouted at them.

Gwen's hands glowed and she readied herself to fire at Vilgax. "Oh yeah, cause that's real convincing." She ran at him and fired an energy beam and sent him flying backwards.

"Oh, no you don't!" Kevin eleven raised his fists and aimed at her head again, this time believing that he would hit her.

Gwen watched all this happened in slow motion. She wanted to move away but she didn't have enough time, all she could do was close her eyes and hope that she could somehow make so that she could land safely. Her eyes closed tightly she waited for the impact but didn't feel anything. She only heard a low grunt coming from in front of.

Opening her eyes slowly she gasped at what she saw happening. "Kevin!" He was covered in green armor, meaning he absorbed the matter from his car, and was fighting back against his old mutated self.

The eleven year old glared at his future self. "Dude, how can you be defending this stupid girl!? She's that dweeb's cousin. It's her fault too that I was turned into this monster!" he used another arm and tried to hit Gwen but Kevin stopped him.

Kevin grunted and tried to push his past self back. "Urgh!...you're wrong. Gwen…she isn't…like that! If anything…she would help me if I ever became a monster again, she…she wouldn't abandon me!" This time he successfully pushed his past back. "I know you can't see it now, but trust me, you actually have a good future to look forward too." He told him.

Kevin eleven looked up at the man he was going to become and for a moment you could see the regular human boy who was not a monster, but a person who wanted to finally be accepted.

"Arghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vilgax appeared behind them. Kevin and Gwen looked up at got ready to fight him again. "Argh…Urgh!!!!!" A bright red beam came out of nowhere and hit Vilgax, knocking him away from Kevin and Gwen.

"I told you I would come looking for you if you took to long." They turned their heads to the person who just saved them. "Grandpa!" Gwen ran up to her grandpa and hugged him. Max looked down at his granddaughter and smiled. "I'm glad to see that you're alright, bot of you." He turned to Kevin.

"Yeah, a little shaken up but we're good." Kevin said walking up next to Gwen.

"Gwen! Kevin!" Ben came running up to both of them along with the past Gwen and Ben. "You guys ok?" He asked them both.

"We're ok, Ben." Gwen told her cousin.

"Cool." He said then looked over at Vilgax and Kevin Eleven. "Now that we're all together, what do you say we show these guys what we can do?" Ben said getting the Omnitrix ready.

"Count me in." Kevin said. "Mind if I see that for a minute?" He took hold of Max's ray gun and absorbed the metal on it. "Oh yeah, this will do."

"I'm in." Gwen said ready to fight back for real this time.

"Then let's go!" Ben slammed down on the Omnitrix and transformed into an alien. "Swampfire!"

"Eww! Gross!" The past Gwen covered her nose. "You stink!"

Swampfire glared at her. "I don't stink that bad." He replied back to her.

"Yes you do." Gwen added.

Swampfire turned his glare to her. "Whatever, can we please just do this already?"

Kevin smirked. "Sure." He grabbed Swampfire by his arm and threw him. "You first." He aimed him at the two villains. "You ready?" He asked looking down at Gwen.

"Oh yeah." Gwen created a platform and started to run towards Ben and the others. Kevin looked at her and smiled to himself before joining in on the action.

Swampfire threw a fire ball at both Vilgax and Kevin Eleven. Kevin Eleven went flying but Vilgax blocked it and ran at Swampfire.

"You can't defeat me that easily!" He was trying to use his claws at cut and rip apart Swampfire. "You may have more experiences with the Omnitrix but you are still nothing more then a mere child!" He cut off both of Swampfire's arm.

"Ben!" Max called out.

Ben looked at his future alien self and decided that he wasn't going to stand around and do nothing. "That's it. It's hero time!" He was about to slam down on the watch when Gwen stopped him. "Hey! Why'd you.."

"Because it looks like something's happening." She pointed towards Swampfire.

His two arms started to regenerate and grow back onto his body. Vilgax's eyes widen for a second before they got serious again.

"That will not help you!" He went to hit him again but Swampfire held both his arms. "Oh, I think it will." He fire two fire balls at Vilgax and knocked him flying into a tree, knocking him out.

Meanwhile both Gwen and Kevin were fighting off the old Kevin. Both knew that they couldn't hurt him too much; otherwise they might end up doing damage to the Kevin that they knew.

Kevin Eleven was using his arm from Heatblast and firing at the two of them. "Ha! You can't take me on. I'm Kevin Eleven! Besides, anything you do to me will affect you too!" He said confidently.

"We'll see about that." Kevin said from behind the shield. "Follow my lead." He told Gwen. He ran out from the shield and tackled his mutated pas to the ground. "Gwen!"

Breaking her own shield, Gwen used her powers and created beams to capture and trap Kevin Eleven. She held on tight, making sure that he wouldn't be able to break free.

"Ugh! Argh! Urgh!...Let me go!" Kevin Eleven cried out trying to break free still.

Kevin stood up from his spot and stared down at his old self. "Sorry. But this is for your own good." He raised his fist and knocked his eleven year old self out.

Swampfire came running over and looked at both Kevin's, he turned back into Ben. "Wasn't that a bit harsh?" He asked.

"I guess but it has to be done." Kevin said turning back into his human form. "Gwen can you erase his memory and put in the one he's suppose to have?" He looked her straight in the eyes and held a serious look on his face.

"Kevin? Are you sure you want that to happen?" Gwen asked him. She didn't expect him to her that. She would have thought that he would want his old self to keep the memories, to have something to look forward to in the future.

Kevin looked down the face of his old mutated self and nodded. "I'm sure." He turned to look at her and only her. "My past and my future are so different. I'm grateful for the way things turned out for me and I don't want to take a chance of ruining it." He told her honestly. He didn't know how this incident would affect his future and he didn't want to take any chances that it might actually change the way it was.

Gwen gave him one last look. "Are you sure?"

"Yes." He told her.

She looked him in the eyes for one more moment before walking over to the mutated boy and kneeled down and put her hands on both sides of her face. Her hands and eyes began to glow and she started to use her powers to reverse his memories. It didn't take her long to finish. "There, that should do it. I can't be positive that it completely worked; I've never done this before. But it should have worked." She explained standing up and moved next to Kevin and Ben.

Ben walked up next to Kevin and gave him a quick look. "You sure you're ok with this man?" He asked him.

"Yeah, I'm good. Besides it's meant to be this way and I'm cool with that." He said turning his gaze to the knocked out Vilgax. "We should probably do the same to him." Gwen nodded and moved towards Vilgax and did the same to him as she did the old Kevin.

"So what are we going to do with them now?" The past Ben asked.

"Yeah, even with their memories changed they'll still attack us once they wake up." The past Gwen said putting her hands on her hips.

"Don't worry. I got it covered." Kevin told them. He walked up to his car and got and started it up. He stuck his head out the open window. "You might want to get out of the way!" He warned them. They all took a few steps back and waited to see what he was going to do.

Kevin looked at them and saw that they were a good distance away he pressed a yellow button that was in his car and watched as the headlights began to give a very bright glow before fire a beam at his old self. The beams hit the old Kevin and a portal was made and Kevin Eleven was sucked into the portal. Kevin turned his car so that it faced Vilgax and did the same to him.

Happy that everything was taken care of, he got out of his car and walked back up to his friends. "Told you I had it covered."

Gwen and Ben both looked at him with wide eyes and opened mouths.

"Kevin?" Ben began.

"Yes Ben?" Kevin knew what he was going to ask.

"What the heck was that?!" Ben asked him. He doesn't remember that being part of Kevin's car.

"Is that what you added on to your car this morning?" Gwen asked him. She's seen him add on a lot of things to his car but not that one.

Kevin smirked. "Yeah, I just added that on before we left." He said.

"And what exactly is that thing anyway?" Ben asked again.

"It's a null void projector beam." Max came up behind them and looked at Kevin.

Kevin nodded his head. He should have known that Max would have been able o tell what it was. "Yeah, I kind of found it one day and decided to add it on to my car."

Max raised an eye brow at Kevin. "You do know that it is illegal for any non-plumber to have a null void project."

"Yeah, I know." Kevin said putting his hands in his pockets.

"You do know that I could have you arrested for having that?" Max gave him another look.

"Yeah, I know you could, if I wasn't a plumber." He said still smirking. He took out his badge and showed it to Max and everyone else.

"No way! You're a plumber!?!" The past Ben shouted out. The world was nothing making sense to him anymore. First he's a newly reformed and nice Kevin and now he's a plumber? He felt like he was going to faint.

"It's not just Kevin, grandpa." Ben said. "We all are." Ben added pointing at Gwen who took out her own badge and stood next to Kevin.

Max didn't really know what to make of this. "Well…this is different. I'm not really sure what to say." He put one hand on the back of his head. "Other then the fact that I'm very proud of all of you."

After some much explain was done they all headed back to the camp. Kevin and Gwen road back together along with the past Ben and Gwen. The ten year old Ben really liked his car and kept trying to push every button that he saw. Once finally back at camp they made a campfire and started to talk about all different that happened to them either in the future or the past.

Kevin feeling that he didn't really belong there moved over towards his car and sat on the hood. One leg up so that one of his arms dangled from it, he looked up at the stars and began to get lost in thought.

"Hey." A voice broke him free from his thoughts.

"Hey." He smiled as he watched Gwen walk over to him and sit down on the hood next to him. She was the only one he allowed to sit on his car.

"What's up?" She asked him smiling.

"Nothing much, just thinking." He answered before looking back up at the sky.

"About what? Do you maybe wanna share your thoughts?" She asked him.

Kevin gave her another smile. He understood the hidden meaning behind her questions. "Depends…"

"Depends on what?" She asked him.

"Depends if we're be listened to or not." He told her. He had no problems sharing his thought with Gwen, but with everyone else, he wouldn't speak at all.

Gwen understood what he meant and used her powers to see if they were being watched or listened too. "Don't worry, we're clear. Everyone else is inside the rust bucket talking about some of grandpa's old adventures." She told him.

"Oh, ok." He looked down at the ground. He was glad that it was just them but he wasn't sure if they should really talk about what had happened today.

"Kevin…? Are you…I mean, are you upset with the way things turned out for you?" She finally asked him.

"I'm not really sure. I mean I get that it had to happen, but that doesn't change the fact that I wanted it to go down another way." He explained to her still looking at the ground.

Putting one hand on his shoulder Gwen moved closer to him. "I know you do, I wanted it to happened differently too."

That surprised him. "You did?"

She nodded. "When I think about everything that you must have gone through after spending most of your life in that place it made me realize just how hard your life has really been." She said to him looking at the side of his face. When he still wasn't facing her she made him turn to look at her. "But that also made me realize just how strong you really have become, Kevin."

He looked into her eyes and could tell that she was telling him the truth. "Thank you." He moved his head closer to hers and she did the same. Their eyes began to close and theirs moved even closer together, their lips were only a few inches away.

"Hey you guys!" Ben's voice broke up their little moment. "Come on it. You're missing all the fun!" He waved at them not knowing that he just ruined their moment.

Kevin was getting really tried of this. He jumped off his car, picked up the nearest rock, and threw it at Ben. It hit him right on the head. "Ow! That hurt Kevin!" Ben shouted holding his head.

"It was supposed too." Kevin called back to him. He watched as Ben mumbled something and went back inside the RV

Gwen sighed and shook her head. Boys. She slide off the car and looked up at Kevin. "We should probably head inside before they all come out to get us." She told him.

Kevin let out a defeated sigh. "Guess you're right." He looked down at Gwen and saw that she was avoiding his gaze and she was blushing.

"Wha…?!" Before he could even ask, Gwen's lips made contact with his. He stood frozen in shock for about a moment before he respond and kissed her back. Her hands on his chest and his arms around her back they shared their first kiss beneath the shining stars.

They finally pulled back when the need for air became too great. Panting they looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

"Wow." Gwen sighed out.

"I know." Kevin responded back. He didn't know what else to say.

They both stared at each other for another moment before Gwen pushed back slightly. "I guess we better head back in now."

"Yeah, we probably should." Kevin agreed. His mind was a fog right now, he felt so happy at this moment.

Holding hands they headed back to the rust bucket and didn't care about the stares or questions that they received when they walked in together.
