Chapter15 pulling through part1 the attack.
Kevin's Pov:
It's the 4th of July Ben, Gwen, & I Decided to go watch the fireworks around 7pm and it was noon now.
So what do you lovebirds want to do that we all can do Gwen asked.
How about we all hit the beach it's far too hot and way too nice to stay indoors all day Ben said.
Ok but it's still going to be sweltering even down by the beach I answered.
Really why Kevin is that asked Gwen with sudden interest.
You of all people should know why I responded with a cold glare.
Wait hold on let me think here the anodite said.
The answer is right in front of your face Gwen wow and you're supposed to be a chick with brains and you can't even figure this out how sad I said shaking my head.
Oh how cute oddly stated but cute nonetheless She giggled.
I looked over to my boyfriend who was blushing hard.
Ok let's go get changed Kevvy I want to catch the big waves Benji said grabbing my hand.
I wanted to say something naughty sounding but then Gwen would have gone ape shit on my ass. After we all got changed Gwen was standing by the door.
Well aren't we getting to the car so we can get to the beach or not Gwen said.
Mistico said Ben.
Liquidatios I chanted and we both held hands and pointed at Gwen before you knew it we were at the beach.
You both be crazy for real but I guess I understand the eviormently friendly approach Gwen huffed as Benji and I both cracked smirks.
Whatever think what you want Gwen as for me I got feet to trade for a tail Ben said walking away on his hands.
What does he mean by that Gwen l asked with a sudden interest?
You don't remember how fast he can swim do you she replied.
Yeah I remember that day me and him had a swim race and he beat me I said surprised.
Well as soon as he touches water he feels like he trades his normal feet for a merman's tail she responded.
Oh so he doesn't mean really trade feet for a tail he's just talking hypothetically I said as I understood now what Benji meant. Oh Gwen can I ask you something it's kind of important I asked the red haired Tennyson who broke out a book.
Oh ugh ok sure what's on your mind she asked back a bit surprised.
I just feel like Benji isn't telling me something and when I asked him last time he said the hint to what I wanted to know is July 23rd do you know what's that about I explained.
Proves he is more of a boyfriend then you are. He remembers yours and yet you can't remember his even when he tells you it on yours Gwen replied rolling her eyes.
What wait he told me that date on my birthday so does that mean he was born the 23rd of July I asked slightly shocked.
Yep that's it you got it took you long enough to figure that out. Now is there anything else you wanted to ask me or can I get to my book Gwen sighed.
Yes in fact do you remember the date of when Ben and I confessed our feelings I asked with worry.
17th of June there is your answer now go have fun with your sweetheart Gwen replied.
I did as she said and as I reached the water I realized that the anniversary between me and my Benji is 6 days before his birthday so maybe I should skip the anniversary and save up for something big and romantic to surprise him on his birthday. Soon enough I stood in water looking for my secret keeping fish of a boyfriend I then see him out kind of farther then I would expect him to go but then he dives underwater and I don't see him anymore. Even though I can't see him I know he is still here I can sense his energy. Suddenly the energy trail is gone and I feel the water take hold of me then it pulls me under for a few seconds before surfacing out near where Benji was before. After floating with my back in the water I think of an odd idea but I decide to try it and float on my stomach so that way my face was in the water then as I shut my eyes I feel something on my lips so I open my eyes and see a figure made out of water so I grab it and snap my fingers. Looks like you fell for my trap I laughed as Ben materialized.
Not funny at all Ben said.
Really why not I asked.
Because it wasn't funny it was downright hysterical genius Ben said as he finally let loose a gut busting laugh.
Come on sweetie lets go hang out back on land I've hunted u down long enough I said as I held Benji close to me.
Ok whatever you want babe Ben said and we swam for the beach.
Once we got out the water I layed down on my charcoal grey towel and Benji just sat on his poison green towel with his feet in the sand and head on knees. What's the matter babe you seem down I said as I sat up.
I just got stuff on my mind is all don't worry I am fine Ben replied.
How long into our relationship is it going to take you to realize that I'm your boyfriend so I should worry? I asked with a firm but caring tone.
It's nothing really I'm just trying to figure out where is best spot for watching the fireworks Benji replied as he finished coating himself in Tanning Oil and then put on his sunglasses and layed down on his stomach.
Ben's Pov:
I was getting my tan on and it felt great to get some color into my skin after I flipped over I realized that I rolled right into Kevvy who was taking a sun nap.
What's wrong babe is there trouble or were you just getting lonely Kev said groggily waking up from his nap.
Sorry I guess when I went to flip myself over I ended up rolling into you and woke you up my bad I replied. Kev you know you can let go now don't you I asked.
I know I can but I don't want to let you go. I like it when we snuggle up close together Kevin replied.
All I did was smile at my buff boyfriend and my eyes started to seal on themselves because his touch makes me feel at ease that it's like a sleep spell besides I didn't want to fall asleep at the fireworks wherever we decided to go even though I was pretty sure Kevvy was going to hold me close and tight tonight aswell. After 20 minutes of napping I wake myself up and decided to go for one final swim. Once I got to where the water was up to my chest I watched and waited for the right pair of waves. As soon as they showed up I dove right into them and after being wrapped in the refreshing water I did an underwater summersault than surfaced and when I came up for air I noticed that Gwen was in the water this time not Kevvy it only took her a moment to notice that I was nearby so she swam right for my location.
Hi Ben are you enjoying your after nap swim Gwen smiled.
Yeah I am and how bout you I responded.
Sure I'm not a fish like you are but I enjoy a good dip everyone now and again Gwen giggled.
Oh well look at that Gwen the waves are getting bigger and stronger looks almost good enough to bodysurf I said as I looked out to the water.
Your right Ben but don't tell me you plan on doing it Gwen stated as she looked out to the giant waves.
Of course I am going to do it Gwen you just need to relax I will be fine I'm going to use magic on the wave so it will bring me into the shore I said to my cousin explaining my plan.
Ok well I'm going back to the shore to finish the chapter of this great book I'm reading Gwen said before she swam away.
I got myself positioned just right so that it wasn't a long walk to Kevvy once I got out. I cast a triple effect spell that boosts wave strength and speed aswell as protection to the caster.
Gwen's Pov:
As soon as I got out of the water I ran for Kevin but he wasn't there so I used my anodite powers to locate him. When they found him sitting on some rocks talking on his mobile I was at first raged because I thought he was trying to flirt behind Ben's back that is until he said the names Seth and Artur then I knew he was asking our wizard friends for advice on something so I ran to where he was. Kevin get off your mobile because what if it was Ben who saw you on it and speaking of Ben he plans on bodysurfing that giant set of waves back into shore I snapped.
Wait hold up he plans on doing WHAT you just said he plans on bodysurfing giant waves doesn't Ben know that it could be dangerous even for an elite swimmer Kevin freaked as he hung up his mobile.
I know but he says he is going to be fine he is going to use protection magic but I'm still skeptical I replied explain things calmly.
I don't give a fuck if he is related to motherfucking Poseidon there is no way I am letting Benji do this. He is my true love so I am going in and getting him before they strike Kevin snapped.
First calm yourself were at the beach so once you have calmed your attitude that's when you go I responded.
No there isn't time I need to be out in the water by now because without him my life has no meaning Kevin said before diving off the rocks and into the water.
Kevin's Pov:
I don't care if Benji wouldn't want me to intervene but what he was trying to do was way too risky and as I swam closer to where he was I could hear him casting a spell. The spell he cast had a triple effect causing the waves to grow in speed and power as well as Benji was wrapped in protective magic just like he told Gwen he would do. I didn't know what to do from the point I was at but then it clicked I casted a counter spell on the water and an illusion spell on myself so that Benji thought I looked like a dolphin. Once I finished the spells I swam out for the beach knowing Benji he would probably try to tail me. Once back on the beach I looked into the water he was still where I left him so I wondered what I did wrong. Fuck I forgot to mask my energy so he knows that I tried to stop him so now he has even more reason to take the risk I snapped at myself realizing what was going on. I was about to ask Gwen what to do but that was until I saw Ben summon a water twister infront of him as the wave was about to strike him so using his timing skills he dived into the water twister and the pressure of the wave came into it after him but it ended up sending him on his underwater path and brought him right to shore right infront of me "so I guess I worried over nothing." Hi there daredevil I joked at Ben but he walked right past me grabbed towel shook the sand out of it and walked over to Gwen the anodite looked at her cousin knowing what he felt just by his eye expression she gave him a nod and he then crossed his feet and then mumbled something under his breath then he was gone.
It wasn't till Gwen brought me and her back home that we saw Ben working on his bike adding odd parts here and there like a nitrous and auto park aswell as he synched it to his watch so if he was riding it would show holographic data infront of his visor of alien attacks. When he saw us he stopped testing out the holograph updates.
Hi Gwen how goes the book you are working on Ben asked.
Got another 3 chapters done and by the way nice updates to the bike but why did you install them Gwen replied.
Nitro to go faster than muscle head next to you, Auto-Park so I don't have to worry about my alignment in parking spots, Holograph-Data is so I know what aliens are up to no good and who out of the 3 of us is closest Ben explained.
Cool I'm glad I have a boyfriend who also like to be a grease monkey as much as I do I spoke my mind while I giggled at my own remark.
Yeah whatever I'm going to Valencia Park to see if I can find a firework view point there seeing as they are 5 hours away Ben replied.
Be careful and call if you need us Gwen said giving her cousin a hug.
Especially me Benji I said as I messed his hair playfully and kissed his cheek.
Cya Gwen I'll come back once I find the perfect spot Ben said and then zipped out the shed and down the strip.
Ben's Pov:
Why doesn't he trust me enough already because I know when to and when not to push my limits on the risk factor I thought to myself as I drove to Valencia park. Once I got to the park my mind went back to the weekend before graduation I was sitting under a tall tree thinking about how I should tell Kevin and when should I tell him how I felt for him but that's the past he is mine now so I went to look for the tree. After a 5 minute walk around the park I find the hill with the tall tree so I look at how high it is and notice that it is perfect so as I walk back to my bike I feel rush of negative energy in the air. Without much thought I use my watch to power the bike under the protocol titled Code Acid so then it heads right for home. While the bike travels the army of aliens reveal themselves and backed me into a corner with any luck the gang will show soon I can't do anything when I'm cornered and pinned down.
Gwen's Pov:
I was on the porch swing while listening to birds chirp and enjoying a bottle of soda when suddenly I see Ben's bike but without him on it. Kevin get down here right now something's wrong I called into the house and within seconds he was by the door to the porch.
What is it what's wrong Gwen is Ben hurt, did he turn evil again? Kevin asked with a worried voice.
More like he isn't on his bike and it not an invisibility prank I checked I don't have a clue on how to work those bikes but you do so go check it out I replied.
What's this it's control panel says something on it. Code Acid? What the heck is Code Acid? Kevin asked with curiosity.
What did you just say? Out of my way let me see that I barked running over and pushing him away. The bike recognized me due to my eye color being close to Ben's so it opened a file and showed that there were aliens in Valencia Park all of them aimed at my cousin.
Gwen snap back to reality dammit Kevin snapped.
Valencia Park NOW! Don't ask question just gut us there I freaked at Kevin who nodded and drove us there. After a fast drive we managed to get to the Park.
What is going on tell me or I'm going right back home Kevin asked without any care what so ever.
Worthless dipshit you don't give a fuck that your boyfriend is being pinned down and cornered by all types of aliens? You know what fuck this rather than bark at you about my cousin I am going to save him you on the other hand can do whatever the fuck you fucking want I yelled at the brute before using my powers to track Ben.
Benji pinned down and cornered with no place to run and about to be hurt? NOBODY DOES THAT TO MY LOVING SWEETHEART Kevin flipped before running infront of me and into the trail.
Kevin's Pov:
As I ran down the trail of Valencia Park I was absorbing the gold and silver of the necklace Benji gave me I was filled to the brim with rage and I found him by his natural smell of caramel and clover honey. Soon enough I was on the hill next to where Benji was. As I looked over to where he was I Counted 12 types of aliens 3 waves of each and Gwen was right they all were aiming at my dream come true I knew that this was a battle of love a battle worth winning. Benji was the only thing on my mind at this point because when he giggles it makes me smile, when he lays his head on my shoulder I feel the warmth of his love, and when we kiss my heart melts. I felt more positive energy drop as I was watching my sweet from a far. Ben was losing more and more of his life every minuet they were draining him of his life so he could be there mindless zombie I don't want to lose him not like this and not this soon. So without thinking things threw I ran right for the aliens and defeat half of them before I realized the aliens that had my Benji pinned down were VampireLeeches so I kick them off him when he is 10% alive then I defeat the other half of the army and I carefully lay him in my arms as I rush us out to the car.
There you go that's more like the Kevin my cousin loves. He looks so calm when he sleeps in your arms doesn't he Gwen said standing by the car.
He isn't sleeping his life energy is almost down to 0 the aliens that had him pinned were VampireLeeches I explained laying sweet Benji down on the back seat.
What VampireLeeches my anodite powers can't sense them no wonder I couldn't see what was pinning him down before Gwen shrieked.
Cool it red head we need to get him to a plumber base and we also need Sylvia. Clearly I am not a girl so I can't enter the girl's dorm wing of Everwood and Ben is my dream come true so I will take him to the base while you get Sylvia ok I said to Gwen explaining my plan.
Ok and then we will meet you lovebirds there Gwen nodded before teleporting to Everwood.
Without a second though I got in the car and drove for the Base on Bayleaf Boulevard.
Gwen's Pov:
I arrived at the dormitory for Everwood witch's and asked what room belonged to Sylvia once I got the info I needed I headed right for her room as soon as I got to the door I knocked.
Who is it and what do you a voiced called from within the room
Sylvia my name is Gwen Tennyson you are friends with my cousin I replied.
What is it Gwen is something wrong what's going on? Sylvia asked as she opened the door.
Ben has been attacked by an alien army and VampireLeech's pinned him down his entire life energy is almost at zero. Kevin is taking him to a plumber base but you're a life witch you can cast healing spells please come with me to try and save him I explained.
Ok let's get going but were going to need Seth to help aswell Sylvia stated as she grabbed her spell book.
We managed to get to Seth's room quickly and I ran right in without knocking.
Gwen what are doing at Everwood and why did you barge into my room Seth asked.
Ben got attacked by all types of aliens and the aliens that had him pinned down were VampireLeech's he is close to dying. I came to get Sylvia's help she said you would be good help aswell so will you come and try to keep my cousin alive. I spoke fast
Of course take us there when you're ready Gwen stated Seth grabbing his spell book.
I teleported us to the base's medical wing and the secretary stopped us.
Hello welcome to the plumber base. My name is Rochelle may I ask who you 3 are and why your here asked the secretary.
My name is Gwendolyn Tennyson blood cousin to Benjamin Tennyson these are his friends Seth and Sylvia they are students from Everwood School of magic. My cousin's boyfriend is Kevin Levin who came with Benjamin if in not mistaken and Ben is slowly losing life energy from the alien attack he suffered I explained who we were and our reasons.
Yes we know what has happened he is in the ICU right now but I'm not too sure if they want his wizard friends allowed in Rochelle explained.
Seth is an ice mage so he can keep a cool temperature of the patient if needed and Sylvia is a life mage she knows healing spells I explained there powers and how they can help.
And what about you Gwen do you have any special powers to help your cousin Rochelle asked.
I'm an anodite and I can use mana energy I said calmly.
Very well your all clear please proceed to ICU room #5 that room is up on floor 5 and is 4 doors down on your left because the elevator will stand you infront of ICU room #1 Rochelle explained as she motioned for us to carry on.
Thanks so much Rochelle now come on you guys let's get to my cousin I said as I ran for the elevator.
Kevin's Pov:
I was watching plumber doctors threw a panel of glass as they worked on my slowly dying boyfriend suddenly I see Gwen, Seth and Sylvia rush in and right past me I thought for a second till I remembered they have powers and there powers could help save him with sad yet hopeful eyes I watched. Gwen transformed into an anodite next Seth and Sylvia opened spell books and levitated them so the spell casting would be easier. After all 3 of my friends where ready Gwen asked the doctors what type of condition her cousin was in I heard every word of it. His condition state is currently at critical I honestly don't know how long we can keep him with us while he is in that condition Dr Whitman told Gwen who then walked over to Seth he knew what to do as if they had planned what to do on their way over here without wasting time Gwen wrapped her cousin in mana and Seth crafted a glacier dome around Ben's bed. What I saw happen next really surprised me Gwen disappeared and a shadow of Benji shimmered anodite pink so Gwen went into her cousin but what for exactly. After two minutes Gwen returned to where she stood before and Ben was unwrapped from the manna aswell as the ice dome was removed. Gwen then returned to her human skin and came out to me.
You may want to be in there to understand better the problem were facing not only that but when I was inside Ben he was muttering your name said Gwen as she placed her hand on my shoulder.
Ok let's go I said with a troubled voice as I fallowed her. Once inside the operating room I saw Ben was glowing grass green and Sylvia was chanting incantations trying to keep Ben alive enough for us to try to figure out how to save him.
Oh my sweet chipper cousin why did this happen to you your so much stronger than any alien out in the galaxies Gwen whimpered as she hung her head.
Look at that he is trying to speak to us Dr Galway said pointing out that Ben's lips were moving.
Your right this is very interesting and he is also moving one of his feet now I have heard of speaking and finger pointing but never heard of speaking while toe pointing Dr Whitman stated.
K…Kevin Tr…trust lack Ben said weakly while pointing his foot in my direction.
Trust lack I wonder what Ben means by that Sylvia said scratching her head.
I honestly don't have a clue I said dumbfounded.
The beach earlier today you tried to stop him from taking on the waves so clearly after Ben noticed you he stood his ground and continued with his plan didn't he Gwen stated while staring me down.
Yes he managed to push through it all but what does that got to do with… hold up I get it now he thinks I lack trust in him to when it comes to taking risks if he thinks he can't handle it he wouldn't do it. So when he got pinned down the aliens used that as a negative anchor I said realizing what Ben meant.
Negative anchor? Please explain this a bit more clearly Dr Galway asked.
Basically they used that negative thought to stop him from struggling and once he stop resisting them they fed off his positive life energy I explained.
Ok now I understand negative influence to take easier control of their victim replied the Dr jotting things down on her clipboard.
If only I had time to try and explain to Ben why I did what I did back at the beach I muttered to myself shamefully.
I am keeping him stable for as long as I can so if you still want to tell Ben then now might be the time Sylvia said.
Without a second thought of what to do I walked over to my semi stable sweetheart but he didn't move at all. Benji I know you're not completely with us in the living world but I wanted you to know why I did what I did back at the beach I said as I held his head in my right hand while my left one held his hand. Back there Gwen told me what you planned on doing so I dived in and swam to you not to seem like I don't trust you but because I was being protective and possessive of you. I act that way because you mean more to me than my own life I know I'm not one to normally be like you and get all soft and mushy but believe me when I say I'm the luckiest motherfucker in all the galaxies to be your boyfriend and without you around I would probably go back to my past ways and return to being an intergalactic threat I whimpered to my dream come true.
Kev do us all a favor get a grip on yourself and stop blubbering like you're a whale said a voice that caused everyone to look at me in shock.
Who said that just now? Wait a second Sylvia our shards there glowing but why? Seth asked with shock.
I did and your crystals are at full charge because you guys have figured out what true friendship is. Gwen my sweet cousin thank you for everything you have done for me through our times together said the voice.
Ben? Ben! Your alive Gwen squeaked and ran to hug her cousin.
I won't be for long it you hug me that tight Benji said to the crying red head.
Oh sorry I'm just so happy that we didn't lose you Gwen said loosening her grip
He still isn't fully with us but he is starting to return to us said Sylvia breathed heavy.
Sil you have been putting a lot of focus and energy on keeping him stable maybe you should go sit down and rest up for a few minutes I said expressing care for the life mage.
Thanks for showing concern but I won't rest until Ben is fully with us Sylvia said.
If you won't for Kevin then will you for me Ben spoke weakly?
Alright I'll go catch my breath for a while and rest up seeing as it means that much to you all. But who will take care of the spells of healing Sylvia stated.
Kev? Ben asked weakly.
Yes my sweet what is it? I replied.
Can you do it please? Ben said.
Oh you want me to take Sylvia's place while she relaxes. Of course but why not Gwen sweetie I thought you didn't trust me anymore I stated.
It wasn't until you told me why you did what you did that made me see that you didn't lack trust in me instead you were being the best boyfriend a shape-shifting alien could wish for Benji said weakly as he fell asleep.
