It's been about a week since the necrofriggian hybrid children moved into the Tennyson home, and the team had yet to track down Vilgax or his lackey. Ben was frustrated; he wanted them turned in, away from his kids. Kevin seemed to work harder than anyone else though, harder than Gwen. Today they headed out to investigate a lead on someone who knew Vilgax's where-a-bouts. They arrived at an abandoned warehouse, Ben turned into Big Chill to phase through the walls and scope out the building. Ben returned turning back into a human.

"There are a few aliens in there, not many. I'm not sure which one would know what we are looking for" Ben said. Gwen thought for a moment, Kevin just glared in the building's direction.

"Then we take them all down" Kevin said, Gwen nodded, putting up a barrier so no one could get out. With that the trio stormed in, this caught the group of aliens off guard. Kevin absorbed the metal in his gauntlet hitting the biggest guy he saw, Ben slammed down on the Omnitrix turning into Terraspin. Gwen was deflecting attacks as Ben blew them away, knocking 3 of them through the wall and into Gwen's barrier causing them to black out, Gwen quickly tied them in a rope of mana. Kevin was in a wrestling match with a cyborg and Ben took down Seven Seven as Gwen binded him as well. Kevin finally managed to pin the metal creature down for Gwen to get him as well. Kevin brushed off his hands smirking as his armor dissipated. Gwen brought the aliens together as everyone waited for them to awake.

The aliens began to squirm as they woke up trying to break free, but to no avail. Instead they looked up at their captors; Kevin cracked his knuckles as the cousins glared their way.

"Spill" Kevin said as he lifted one of them up by their shirt glaring menacingly. The aliens weren't responding the way they had hoped, so Kevin dragged one away to begin an interrogation. All to soon blood curdling screams were heard, pounding, and begging. There was silence as the alien was dragged back unconscious. Kevin made his way down the line, beating each one of them to a bloody pulp. Soon they three waited for them to wake up again. Kevin repeated this process until he got to the last one.

"I give up! I'll tell you anything!" He cried shaking as the others glared his way, Kevin was smirking viciously. Ben stepped closer kneeling down as he glared at him.

"Where. Is. Vilgax?" Ben punctuated each word practically growling at the alien. Kevin thought he almost saw Ben's eyes glow for a second, but he just brushed it off, Ben wasn't an Anodite, and Gwen was.

"He-he's hiding out on Neptune!" Ben quickly got up and ran to the car, Kevin and Gwen following. They speed of to Ben's house to get supplies. Max was there waiting for them, he stood at the front of the door arms crossed over his chest. The plumbers had apparently cleaned up their mess and reported to him. Max wasn't happy with his grandchildren at all.

"Ben" Max started out, Ben just ran right by him, this caused everyone a shock, Ben always listened to his grandfather, but here he was going right by him. Gwen stopped by Max looking at him neutrally, and then both she and Kevin walked in to see Verdona trying to talk to Ben.

"Grandma, move. I tell my kids I'm going to be gone for a few days." Ben glared shoulder. Ben tried to shake her off, Max walked in slamming the door closed. This caused Ben to look at the front door.

"They aren't here Ben, Sandra and Carl took them to the park. We need to talk about what happened today." Max said calmly looking at Ben. Ben's eye twitched as he looked back at his Grandmother, who smiled sadly at him. Ben jerked his shoulder away and walked in the middle of everyone, glaring pointedly at Max.

"Talk about what Grandpa? That my kids were almost killed? Or the fact that the plumbers aren't doing anything about it?! No one has tried to help us so we are taking care of it. Damn it! Vilgax needs to pay for it! What if he does it to someone else? They are only kids!" Ben yelled throwing his hands in the air. Max was taken back, Ben had never yelled at him before. Verdona frowned and approached Ben.

"We understand that Ben, but that isn't your job" Ben's eyes flashed green, no one else saw but Verdona whose eyes widened in shock.

"Ben she's right" Max tried to say, Ben turned to him glaring. This caused Max to sigh sadly. "Look Ben, we are trying to find him-"

"He's at Neptune!" Ben yelled getting into his face. Max backed up, they already found Vilgax? "And we are going to get him. I'm not going to do anything but turn him in! The plumbers can do whatever they want with him after that!" Max was surprised, Ben wasn't going to kill Vilgax? Just turn him in, Max was not expecting that. "What did you think I was going to do? Kill him? I may want revenge but my kids are more important! I can't believe- You thought I was going to-?!" Ben clenched his fists to his sides shaking. He walked out the door, Kevin ran after him. Ben was leaning against the car shaking, Kevin pulled him into a hug, Ben just buried his face into his friend's shirt trying to calm down.

Gwen looked at her Grandparents sadly.

"You two thought he was going to kill him? I can't believe you thought that Ben would do that! It's Ben we are talking about." Verdona looked at Max smugly.

"Told you so." Gwen looked confused at the Anodite. "I told Max he wouldn't. He has an Anodite personality, we get back at people but we don't kill them! We make their lives miserable!" Verdona chirped happily, Max smiled relieved. Gwen just gawked at her grandparents, were they serious.

"What on earth are you two going on about?" Gwen asked, on hand coming up to pinch the bridge of her nose, Verdona giggled and Max smiled.

"Well Maxi here thought Ben would have really killed Vilgax, said he would've if he was Ben. But I told him he wouldn't; he has a true Anodite spirit! When I fought you I could tell. You may have the spark kiddo but he had the spirit!" Verdona giggled. "So I told Maxi this and told him that he wouldn't kill big bad Vilgax, he doesn't need to! He'd hurt his pride, make him miserable! Looks like I was right!" Verdona said in a sing song voice. Gwen just shook her head and smiled and walked out the door.

Gwen walked out to see Ben and Kevin already in the car, ready to go. She joined them and they went off to the Rustbucket III. They hurried inside, Kevin started the engines as Gwen and Ben took their places.

"Ben did you call them?" Ben looked down.

"Yeah, but no one answered so I left them a message. So lets hurry and get this over with before they notice we're gone!" Kevin smirked at Ben before they went top speed straight to Neptune.

It took them a few hours to get there; they landed and got out, heading towards the large base on the planet. Ben began to run Kevin and Gwen following. Ben had that bad feeling again in his gut, he didn't know why but he could've sworn he felt his parents' and kids' energy here. They broke inside, Vilgax was waiting for them. Vilgax's lackey was had a chain in his hand, this connected to nine people, all in space suites, they were Ben's parents and the hybrid Necrofriggian children. Ben was furious, he saw Vilgax's smug look it made his blood boil.

"You let them go Vilgax!" the alien just chuckled at Ben.

"And why would I do that Tennyson?" Ben glared.

"So I'll go easy one you" Ben retaliated angry, he was shaking, trying to contain himself. Before he knew it Vilgax shot a beam at Kevin and Gwen, Gwen had put up a shield protecting herself but Kevin had gotten hit. Luckily for him he had absorbed the tanzanite from his gauntlet protecting himself and his suit. Now Ben was pissed he dialed up the Omnitrix, turning into Fast Track. "Oh man, I wanted Jetray" Ben sighed. He ran to Vilgax, punching him in his chest, knocking the beast down onto his ass. Vilgax growled getting back up trying to get a hit in, Ben was far too fast, he was so mad, all he saw was red. He was hitting Vilgax left and right, the larger alien didn't have time to retaliate.

As Ben took on Vilgax, Gwen and Kevin took on the lackey it was hard, Kevin couldn't get through, he kept getting shot as Gwen couldn't move, holding up her shield to avoid the beams of energy headed her way, they couldn't get close. Levi jumped onto the alien, grabbing his arm, breathing out ice freezing the beams. Kevin caught on as Gwen rushed to save the family; Levi got thrown off as before Kevin would get there his helmet cracking. Kevin got the lackey, pinned him down. Gwen saw Levi and tried to put a shield over the boy's helmet but Vilgax had somehow over thrown Ben and rushed to the boy pulling the helmet off smirking. Ben opened his eyes to see Levi gasping trying to breathe, he snapped. Waves of green mana rolled off of him in waves wrapping around his unconscious son, encasing him in an oxygen filled barrier. His eyes glowed, sparks of green energy around him as he stalked up to Vilgax. Gwen stared as did Kevin. Gwen snapped out of it as she moved her family into the RustBucket III. Kevin knocked out the alien he had pinned and dragged him into the ship locking him up tight.

Kevin went back out to grab Levi, the energy field following him into the ship. Ben was launching energy attacks at Vilgax, hitting the alien. That's when Kevin came out to watch, Vilgax in an attempt to distract Ben launched a beam at the Osmosian knocking the poor brute out. Whatever control Ben had left slipped away, his suit vanished as his body fazed into a full Anodite, his energy was green, his hair was much shorter than Verdona's and Gwen's, it looked like his own hair, only it went down to his shoulders and moved about in waves. Vilgax backed up, Ben hovered closer, tendrils of hair came out wrapping around the alien, almost squeezing the life out of him, until he passed out. Kevin had awoken; he walked up to Ben, hugging him from behind.

"Ben, calm down please. We can't lose you, come back to us. Come back to me Ben" Kevin whispered, Ben's body returned to normal before passing out. Kevin hoisted Ben over his shoulder and dragged Vilgax back to the ship.

Kevin dropped Vilgax as he entered, letting Gwen lock him up as he gently placed Ben down, all of his children, but one crowded around crying and hugging onto him. This woke Ben up, he smiled weakly as he held onto his kids. Kevin and Ben looked at Gwen as she waked over to them with Levi in her arms, laying limply. Gwen looked up, her tear stained face facing Ben, looking at him sadly. Ben burst into tears as he held his kids closer. A lone tear made its way down Kevin's face as Sandra cried into Carl's shoulder. Levi had died.

I know it's horrible! But it's what was stuck in my head! Sorry for the angst people.
