Chapter 10:
Recon and retrieve
"Stop struggling!" Revolta shouted through the web-muffs. 'She's resisting much too easily to my Web Spell. It must be that boy, she must think he actually returns her feelings. Making her more resistant to my spell.' She thought as she watched as the young woman was looking down at the reforming mass below her. "Well, your will is strong just like your father, but my web is stronger. OBEY!" She said calmly, but ended in a shout since the effect was still not working.
'What do we do?' The two holders thought since they were starting to loose their grip on her, and they did not want to be around when the bigger bat comes back.
"Just carry her away. I am certain that my spell will take hold the further she is from him." The witch said and the two did as their mistress commanded. As they did that the blob came whole, but due to a familiar beeping the hero of heroes glided back down, and timed out closer to the ground.
"Dude!" Danny shouted to the hero that had just landed before pointing to the three in question. "You're girlfriend is being Bat-napped!" He said as they continued to watch them fly away.
"No! If I don't get her back, not only will I not be able to confess my feelings to her." Ben started to say before imaging an enraged Dracula tearing him a new one, but he feared what that new one might be. "Worst if the Count finds out I lost her. He'll hold me accountable." Tennyson added once he found his voice again.
"Don't worry, dude, we'll get the other spookie beauties to help us rescue her." The Amity apparition pointed out as he patted Ben on the back in a comforting manner.
"If they already hadn't been Zombified!" Their third friend said to the ground heroes. The two looked up and saw that it was Jake flying down to them with Matches in his arms. They wanted to know how the smaller dragon found them, but decided to over look it for now.
"You don't mean Elsa?" Ben questioned in a worried tone since he wanted to know just how many they were down by; he was not pleased that he answered back with a nod.
"And little Miss…" The dragon stalled and imitated a familiar laugh: one that came from a certain Phantom admirer.
"Not Phanty!" He shouted aloud in a dumbfounded tone. It was then he recalled what had happened between the two of them:
"You know…I heard from Ben that they were planning on playing Hide and Shriek, and Ben's it. Better tell the others." Fenton said to her in hopes that she would believe him.
"Hide and Shriek - oh I love that game." She squealed before flying back to the ground, and then ran off to find her friends.
'How could I have been so stupid.' Danny thought not knowing that Ben was the one preventing him from hitting the ground.
"Danny, you've got to pull yourself together." The shape-shifter pointed out before proping his friend against a tree before adding, "If who ever is behind this has her and Elsa, then they got the other girls too." He had a feeling that he was right, but wasn't sure until he heard it from the informant.
"They got Winnie…" Jake said in a sadden tone. The taller dragon watched as the guard dragon, who he placed on the ground earlier, whimper a bit before rubbing against Jake's scaly leg.
"All the more reason to go after them!" Danny said to them after feeling his hero groove returning to him. Ben decided to say something new to raise their spirits even higher.
"To the Girlfriend Saving Mobile!" He shouted while pointing his finger up for dramatic effect. There was a small pause as the three others were just staring at him awkwardly.
"You mean the Rustbucket?" Jake questioned while a raised eyebrow and his right claw scratching his mane.
"I thought a name change to suit the situation, was called for." Tennyson said to them with a sheepish smile and a shrug. 'This is probably how Manny felt when he shouted 'Max Force' back during the battle with the Highbreed.
'Maybe that will knock some sense into you.' Danny thought after he rolled his eyes and bopped Ben in the head. In no time the four headed to their RV with Ben in the driver' s seat, Jake as Navigator with Matches on his shoulder and Danny in between the seats.
"Oh man, we're stuck in the mud!" Ben said in alarm as he leveled the accelerator, but still nothing. "Alright then." He said and was about to activate one of the RV's special tools until he heard something behind them. Since it was faint the hero stopped and listened.
"Looks like the Grimwood transport vehicle is in deep trouble." The boy known as Tug Detweiler said to the others as the were leaving the bog and saw the rusted over machine sitting there.
"Serves them right for taking our trophy." Grunt said to them, feeling glad that this was happening to them, but once again Jamal had to play the honorable card by pulling out his mini-handbook.
"However, the Calloway code says we help vehicles distress." The speedy man said to them after flipping to the correct section.
"Affirmative." Miguel said happily since he really thought that was the right thing to do.
"Negative. We do not aid and abet the enemy." Their field leader said to them with a raised right hand. Two of them did not like it, but chose not to say anything as opposed to the one that liked the idea.
"Yeah, let them spin their wheels." Grunt said with a happy smile. Unknown to them was that Danny, Ben, and Jake were listening to the whole thing, and with what has happened to their girls the three weren't in a passive mood.
"Stupid punks." Ben muttered before seeing that his old friend was green again causing him to activate it. Once he was in his alien form the new form got out of the RV, as did the other three (two of them also in hero mode) and headed over to them.
'Something bad must be right behind me.' The blonde boy thought as he saw his friend's drop their jaws. Once he turned to face it he and the others had a hand gripping the collar of their uniform. The creature that held them was a red man with four arms, four eyes, and a black and white outfit.
"I'm in a bad mood. Understand?" The creature said to them in a dead serious tone before tightening his grip. The four could see behind his right side a floating white haired teen with glowing green hands and icy blue eyes. There was also a buff red dragon with flames seeping out of his mouth along with the Grimwood guard dog on his head - bright red.
"As I was saying, men, that RV needs some manpower." Their field leader said with the collar nearly cutting off his oxygen. Once the Tennyson heard that he dropped them, but still stared at them.
"Guess they're not as dumb as they look." Matches muttered as his red scales turned back to green. The four men stayed at the back and then took hold of the bumper. The four limbed one, who was still angry over what was happening decided to relieve himself over what he felt inside.
"Stay right here." He instructed, and out of fear they nodded. The four went back in, once they were inside each of the three changed back to civilian.
'I wonder how they like the taste of mud.' Ben thought after turning on the Rustbucket and leveling the accelerator with it still in Park. After a while of seeing them covered in mud through his side mirror the teen went into Drive and took off. As soon as he did the Calloway cadets fell face first into the mud pit.
"I feel as though we should have asked them for help." Danny said to the others as they were driving along. Jake looked up at his fellow hero with a serious expression before answering back with:
"Somehow I don't think they would help us even if we asked all nice like." The New Yorker wondered if typical New York threats would work, but those weren't his style.
"It was just a thought since Ben here made us loose a lot of time with that little stunt." Fenton said back as he looked at the hero who was driving with a steady facial expression.
"They may be ahead of us, but not for long." The hero said and then activated the high speed mode by pressing a button right beside the steering wheel, and when he did the back transformed for turbo speed, and they were off.
'This is new.' The three thought as they were speeding off at a speed they existed only for jets. Back at the bog the three struggled and eventually succeeded of getting out of the mud trap.
'That's gratitude for ya." Tug said to the others as he tried to brush away the new found earth material off of them. The foursome stopped when another shadow was cast on them, and when they looked at this one they saw their commanding officer - Colonel Calloway.
"Cadet Baxter has finished his hike in much better shape then the rest of you." The commander said to them while gesturing to the one that stayed with him, who was as clean as a whistle. "Nest time follow me more closely, Cadet Detweiler." The older man said to the brown outfitted boy.
"Yes, sir!" The cadet in question shouted while putting his hand in salute form it wasn't until right after when he saw his mistake. "Sorry, sir." He said after splashing some mud on his commanding officer's face.
"Back to the barracks. On the double!" Calloway said to them while pointing in the direction of their ride.
"Yes, sir!" The five said back and headed out not knowing the fate of the nine others. The trio of heroes on the other hand were able to get ahead of them, due to the turbo mode, and that was when Tennyson deactivated it.
"Sure hope this stopping option Cooper made holds up." Ben said to them before pressing the button again to deactivate the speed and then pressed another button to deploy a parachute from the spare tire.
"I see why you stopped turbo mode. So, we can rescue them now." Danny said with a grin before transforming into his hero mode.
"No. I deactivated turbo mode so that we can keep an eye on them. Besides there would be no point in rescuing them now since the kidnapper would just do it again." Ben said back before recalling the parachute, once they stopped, and just drove normally.
"He's right. We have to find the person responsible to save them." Jake said back as he stared solely at the shack. 'Don't worry Wonder Wolf, I'm coming.' Jake thought not knowing that his friends felt the same to their others. The teen stopped the Rustbucket when he saw the spider-bats, and the shack go through a secret door which closed as soon as they were both in.
"Now, how are we going to get inside. We would need wings to get in there." Ben said to them before receiving a smack to the back of the head from his fellow heroes. "What was that for?" He questioned to them in confusion.
"Have you forgotten that three out of four of us can fly." The Amity apparition said, still in his jumpsuit.
"Right. I knew that." The keeper of the Omnitrix said to them before getting out of the car, as did Jake. "Since you are having issues with Jetray just as you did with Fourarms then I'll use someone else." Ben said before activating and slamming the watch:
"Bloodrush!" He shouted before looking at his red hands and yellow belly. "Oh, so now you give me Jetray." He said in annoyance, and it was then he heard a voice from above him.
"Quit standing there Ben, the girls need us." The American Dragon, in dragon form, said before flying off. Deciding to leave the Omnitrix talk alone, and follow the other two. When they reached the front door the foursome was left with a problem how to get past the simple defense, but as they did that the ghouls presented themselves to their new mistress.
"It's been too long since we had company, Creeper." The green haired schemer said to her lackey after ordering Sibella to return to her human form.
"I knew you'd be pleased, Revolta." The plant creature said back to her even though he still feared those two that dared to attack him, and what they will do to him once they got here.
"Yes." She said at first before adding, "Because these five will remain here permanently." Once she had a small laugh about that she saw that her loyal servant was smiling at that since he really did like that, but that smile was quickly replaced with something else.
"But, Revolta, what happens when your spell wears off?" He questioned out of curiosity since he was there when the fathers got free and started to tear her lair apart before storming off.
"Don't upset yourself, Creeper." She assured him in her usual tone before continuing with, "I'm preparing a spell to make them evil forever." She liked that idea and even told her associate the rest of her plan, "At the stroke of midnight, I'm going to revoltize them." He heard that and his subconscious didn't like it.
"Revoltize them? Oh, how revolting." He said to her while imagining with fright a fusion between each of the girls and of Revolta, while keeping Revolta's…beauty as a base.
"Yes. Isn't it, though?" She said with sewn together hands since she rather liked the idea of having five evil daughters. Her happiness was replaced with her usual attitude in a flash. "Now stop cringing and put those girls to work." She ordered to the walking stump.
"Yes, Revolta." He said back to her and then assigned each of them a simple task. Back on the outside the guys have been trying to get in.
"Door must be pretty strong." Ben said after coming back from Fourarms. The hero of heroes decided to bust it open through fists, but that didn't work.
"Why don't you just go bigger?" Danny questioned since he had a feeling that his faller forms could tear down the door before them with ease.
"Can't risk it. No telling what the kidnapper will do to them if they know they have intruders this early." He said back to them, and the others understood that point of view.
"Then I guess it's up to us. Ready Matches?" The dragon said and received happy grunting to the creature beside him. The two of them focused on the old pad lock and unleashed their mightiest flames.
'There that did it.' The smaller dragon thought as he saw the red hot metal, believing that it would melt, but to his and the others surprise the lock survived.
"My turn." Danny said and then tried to use his most powerful ecto-blast on the lock itself, but no luck. "Okay then. Let's try freezing it." He said and then used his new found nice powers just like with those eyes in the garden. Sadly the moment his ice hit the lock it thawed out.
"This is getting us no where." Ben said to them before activating the watch again:
"XLR8!" He shouted before giving them an order, "You guys may want to move since what I have planned will really, really hurt." Once the comment was given he sped down the zigzag hill until he reached the bottom.
"What do you think he has planned?" Danny questioned with his feet barely off the ground.
"No idea." Jake said with his feet still firmly on the ground. Back beside the RV Ben tapped the symbol again changing from XLR8 to:
"Cannonbolt!" The new creature shouted before spinning in place. He continued to spin in place, gaining momentum until he was sure he was ready. 'Now.' He thought and sped at them at a speed similar if not equal to the Kineceleran.
"You know what?" Danny questioned to his friend.
"What?" The mystical defender said back.
"I think we better…" The other started and then stalled before both finished it.
"FLY!" The two, with Jake holding his fellow dragon, and Danny using his ecto-beams as a boost got out of the way right before the big yellow ball slammed through the doors.
"I think we should split up into pairs of two to cover more ground." Cannonbolt said before tapping the hourglass.
"Danny will come with me and Jake will go with Matches." Ben said after seeing how big the building it was.
"Sure thing." The three others said and headed off in two different halls.
"Say, Ben…" Danny said, wanting to start a conversation.
"What's up?" He questioned while looking around, and not seeing anything out of the ordinary.
"I know that this is WAY down the road, but what do you think would be the new name for Jake and Winnie's kids?" He questioned to the other since both of them knew that the two of them liked each other.
"I know that. It's…um…hmm?" Tennyson said, but could not seem to finish it since the combos didn't seem to fit. 'Well, they call a Donkey and Dragon's kids Dronkey's, but what would they call a wolf and a dragon?' He thought, but was caught off guard of what the ghost had to say next.
"What of you and Sibella?" He asked and saw an absolutely surprised lookon his face. He tried to remain calm despite the red on his cheeks.
"What about us?" He questioned while looking anywhere but at his friend.
"What if your alien DNA seeped into one of your kids giving one of them the power of Humungasaur?" Danny continued with a coy smile. "Humungapire." The spirit finished with a laugh only to see that the teen in question has decided to ignore him and focus on a mirror.
'What is this?' The wielder of the Omnitrix thought as he was staring at a mirror that was covered by a sheet. Out of curiosity he walked forward to see his reflection. 'Have to look my…worst before I save Sibella.' He thought as he approached the reflective surface, but as soon as he saw it he was surprised.
"Nice one, Ben. This place must be creeping you out more than your letting on since you just got spooked by your own reflection." Danny said while laughing in midair causing the other to become red in embarrassment before he heard the sentence.
'"Scared of my own reflection." Where have I heard that?' The hero of heroes thought before walking off causing the other hero to be alone with the mirror.
"Can't believe that he's scared of a little carnival trick." The spirit said before floating over to meet his self, and saw a wiggy toon version of his evil self. He floated there, making faces; not knowing the other wasn't following it until it spoke.
"Who are you calling a trick?" He questioned before forcing his hands out of the glass-like surface, and onto the heroes shoulders. He pulled Danny in, and after a slight scuffle the other floated out. "Enjoy your stay." He said to the hero before heading out.
"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. You should have trusted Ben and followed after him not stay behind and get caught." Danny said while tapping his forehead with his right fist. As the imposter was walking off to say hello to his new friend Grim Creeper was checking on the brainwashed beauties.
"That's it. Revolta likes a clean lair." The plant creature said to the mummy who was mopping with an adult sized mop. He then used his eye on the floor and saw something a miss, something he felt he needed to point out. "Hey, you missed a spot." She heard him, but did not acknowledge it.
"I obey only Revolta." The mesmerized mummy pointed out before taking her bucket and moving onto the next spot, but as she left she slapped the warden with the brush end of the mop.
"Nevermind! It'll soon be midnight anyway!" The vicious vegetable said while whipping the water on his end with his tendrils. He then decided to check on the lovers of the shape-shifter and the dragon, but as he did that a meeting was about to be taken place.
'Do I know this person?' The blue skinned one thought after seeing an image appear on the mirror that she was cleaning.
"Phanty! Man, are you sight for sore eyes." Danny said with a big smile on his face when he saw his admirer. "Anyway, you got to find Ben and warn him that the me that's following him isn't me." The Phantom said to her, but was slightly surprised by her answer.
"I only obey Revolta!" The daughter of the Phantom said to the mystery figure before her.
'Right. Still zombiefied, but at least now I got a name.' Fenton thought before talking to her. "So, who is this Revolta person, another teacher?" He questioned since he thought that now was as good as time as any to get some answers.
"No, she is the witch of the web." Phantasma said back while rubbing the mirror, her face not twitching in the least as she made his face and gut move with her wiping. "At midnight she makes us part of her evil team forever." She added before walking away.
"Whoa! Come back, Phanty. Don't listen to Revolta. Listen to your boyfriend!" Danny shouted and that was when he caught what he just said. 'Did I just say: boyfriend?' He questioned to himself not knowing that his female friend stopped for a moment, but then continued to float away.
'Where have I heard that line before?' Ben thought as he was still thinking of that line - knowing that he had heard it from somewhere. His thoughts were interrupted by a hand stroking his back.
'Ben Tennyson.' A voice similar but different from Danny's said from behind him.
"Huh? What is it, Danny?" Ben questioned before thinking back to his earlier question.
"I'm after you." The other said in a threatening way. Tennyson went back to a serious setting, and turned to face him.
"Now's not the time for…your not Danny." Ben started to say something, but changed it when he saw that it was some form of anti-Danny before him.
"He's trapped in the mirror world, and the only way to get him back is to force me through that same mirror." The creature said aloud before adding, "Did I just tell you how to get rid of me." He looked to the human before him who had a big smile on his face.
"Yep, kinda did." The green jacketed one said back before activating the watch and prayed that they could work together for once.
"Big Chill! Now that's more like it." He said before sending a massive cold blast at the fake, and once he was in frozen solid there was another green shine.
"Brainstorm!" He looked at the still frozen man and spoke to it. "I know that our time was short, but I did enjoy. Now as they say in the vernacular: See ya." The crab then put up an electric barrier around it before flinging it in the mirror itself.
"Noooo!" The mirror monster said as he was back in the mirror world, and once he was in Danny was shot back out.
"That was weird." Phantom said before looking around and realized that they were in a different part of the tunnel.
"My sincerest apologies my good fellow. If I was not distracted by such a mediocre thought I would have deduced that you were not really behind me." The crab said in his British tone, adding a polite bow to hopefully seal the deal.
"No worries, Ben. Just change back, and we can go." The spectacular spirit said and watched his changeling friend do that, and they were off again to find their friends.
