Dustin 10 and Ben 10

10. Just my Luck

Chapter 10: Just My Luck

This time, we had gone to a witchcraft museum. It was apparently full of many magical artifacts. Gwen wanted to go, so we really couldn't be forced not to. Ben was looking at an old funny mask, and I was with Max and Gwen looking at a 'spell book'.

Dustin: "Well, this place is definitely interesting, I'll say that much."

Gwen: "The Archamada Book of Spells!"

Gwen and old tour lady: "This was found hundreds of years ago, and was believed to be the most powerful spell book of all time."

Tour lady: "Maybe you should work her, young lady." Gwen looked a little disappointed, so I decided to cheer her up.

Dustin: "Ah, don't listen to that crone! She's probably older than the book and still hasn't learned the word, 'moisturizer.'" Gwen laughed.

Gwen; "You're right, Dustin."

Dustin: "I'm always right." We were about to continue walking, when we were all levitated up to the ceiling.

Max: "This isn't part of the tour, right?"

Gwen: "Of course not, Grandpa!"

Dustin: "And it's not me or Ben. We're not even transformed."

Gwen: "Then who…?" An explosion was made in the wall. A guy levitated in, and he looked like he painted a skeleton on his face. I know the guy as Hex.

Hex: "The Archamada Book of Spells! At long last!"

Ben: "Not if I have anything to say about it." Ben turned the watch to Wildmutt, and dropped down from the ceiling, then socked him in the face, forcing everyone else down.

Hex: "Who dares to attempt and stop Hex?"

Wildmutt: "RROOAAAAARAR!"

Hex: "Prepare to be exterminated!" He shot some energy shards at Ben, but he went XLR8, and dodged each one, then socked him in the face. He flew back a few feet.

XLR8: "Okay! I take back not believing in magic! That was real enough for me!"

Hex: "You have not even grasped it!" He shot fire out at me, but I went Heatblast, got in front of Ben and absorbed it.

Hex: "No!"

Heatblast: "I'm white-hot!" I threw a fireball at him, but he stopped it with some blue energy, and made it dissipate.

Heatblast: "Now that, I can't believe." Hex picked up a chair with his blue energy, and threw it at me. I melted it with my fire breath.

Hex: "Take this, vile creatures!" He pulled a giant rock out of the ground, and threw it. Ben turned into Four Arms, caught it, and threw it back. Then I went XLR8, and rushed towards him. He was hit square in the gut by a kick of mine, then I kept barraging him, until he lifted me off of him with his blue energy, and threw me. Ben went Wildmutt again and launched myself at him. He couldn't see it coming, and Ben rammed him. He hit a wall, but came out, covering himself in a force field.

Hex: "Even with my magic, and you without, you two are still worthy opponents!"

Wildmutt: "ROAR!" Ben went Diamondhead, and made a diamond quake towards him. He flew over it, and shot energy shards at him. They all bounced off his skin, and he tried fire again. Ben jumped right through it, and punched him in the face.

Diamondhead: "You'll have to do better than that."

XLR8: "Even a wizard can't beat us."

Gwen: "Nothing can beat them!"

Max: "They still need help!" Max found a barrel, and threw it at Hex. Hex got hit, then I socked him in the face again, and he fell to the ground. Gwen jumped on his back, then Hex got up, and Gwen punched his nuts, and then high-jump kicked his chin, and I zoomed at him, and ran around him, punching and kicking him, until I tail whipped him into the ceiling, and he fell back down to Ben as Four Arms socking him in the gut, and he fell unconscious, while a stone flew out of his necklace. The authorities took him into jail.

XLR8: "Alright! We did it, guys!"

A newscrew came up to me and Ben.

Interviewer: "When did you two first land on the planet?"

XLR8: "Um, that's top secret, sir."

Interviewer 2: "We loved your performance there. What planet are you from?"

Four Arms: "Also classified, but remember this. I'm here to save the world from guys like him!"

Interviewer 3: "Do you like what Earth has to offer?"

XLR8: "Yes. Pretty much so."

Interviewer: "Because we thought that was classified, too."

Four Arms: "Ha ha. Real funny guys. But remember this! Who're your heroes? We're your heroes! Hahaha!" Ben said flexing his four muscular arms while I sweat dropped.

Interviewer: "This is our first encounter with the two shapeshifting alien heroes. Hopefully we can talk more later. Back to you, Tom." The interviewers had all left, and we had gone back into the RV.

Gwen: "'Who're your heroes?'"

Ben: "Well? What'd you want me to tell them?"

Dustin: "That Gwen and Max helped, at least!"

Ben: "I'm sorry! I'll make it up to you guys."

Dustin: "Say you're sorry."

Ben: "I already did, dude."

Gwen: "Just promise not to hog the spotlight, okay?"

Dustin: "I'm with you on that. Well, Gwen, you can have this. I don't need it." It was the thing that fell off Hex during the battle.

Gwen: "You stole it from him?"

Dustin: "It's gonna be a good necklace, Gwen."

Gwen: "You're right. Thanks."

Max: "We're about to stop at a restaurant. Who wants to go?"

Gwen came out with the stone on a string.

Gwen: "Sounds nice." Max parked, then walked in to the restaurant with us, and we had a four-person table. We had a plate of crawdads in front of us. We had eaten them until there was just one left, and Ben and Gwen stared down at it.

Ben: "This one's mine!"

Gwen: "I don't think so!"

Ben: "It's mine!" They kept pushing at each other to try and reach the crawdad, until Ben grabbed it. While I looked at them and pinched the bridge of my nose.

Gwen: "Hey! Ben you had more than both of me!"

Ben: "Too bad!" Gwen's stone glowed right then.

Gwen: "It's mine, Ben!" She sent her fork flying, then it stabbed a waitress in the foot, and she slipped, throwing the foods she was carrying on to a cook, and he slipped, sending a dish flying right into Ben's face, causing him to drop the crawdad, and Gwen went for it, and Gwen grabbed the crawdad, and she ate it whole.

Ben: "What just happened?"

Dustin: "I don't know, Ben."

Gwen: "I don't know either…" Then she saw her stone glow for a few seconds, then it turned off.

Gwen: "Dustin. You know something about this stone?"

Dustin: "I don't now. Some parts are a bit hazy. Though I get the feeling that stone is important." And I mean it as I don't remember certain parts of the show.

Ben: "No telling." Gwen looked at him, and laughed, because a live crawdad climbed up Ben's nose.

Ben: "GGYYYAAAA!"

We all laughed at his predicament. We continued off after we paid the bill for the restaurant. We were walking through a city.

Gwen: "Wow. I'm still laughing!"

Dustin: "Me too! HA!"

Max: "I have never seen a crawdad climb up someone's nose before! Hooo! Nice laugh, Ben!"

Ben: "It didn't feel good at all! At least Grey Matter got it out!"

Dustin: "I guess you were a little lucky there."

Ben: "Yes!"

Old lady: "My purse! Help!" Some guys were running off with it.

Dustin: "I got this." I grabbed the watch, and went Wildmutt while Dustin went XLR8.

Wildmutt: "ROAR!" Gwen hopped on my back, then me and Ben went running for them.

Guy: "We did it! We scored!"

Guy #2: "What the crap?" He saw us chasing after them.

Guy #3: "Keep running!" They sped up, and so did we. I jumped, then tackled the one with the purse, then Gwen got off my back, and went into combat stances. I growled in the guy's face, then he crawled out, running off. Ben zoomed right in front of him, then socked him in the face, making him drop the purse. Gwen was dealing with the other two guys, while Ben grabbed the guy, and slammed in into a wall, knocking him out.

Guy #2: "You're strong kid, but not strong enough!"

Gwen: "I was just the distraction! Guys! Now!" Ben zoomed at the both of them, but only got one, while the other one seized Gwen, and I went Four Arms and glared at the guy.

Four Arms: "Let her go!"

Guy #3: "Or what?" He had her in a headlock, and I knew he could squeeze the air out of her if he tried. I wondered what would happen if I took off, but I didn't know if it was a good idea to just rush him, since Gwen was in danger.

Gwen: "Let go!" She stepped on his foot, making him release his grip, then she escaped, and her stone glowed again as Ben zoomed in on him. She tripped over a hot dog, then it flew into the vendor's face, and he pushed the cart into a building, which caused a flower pot from a window to fall on to the guy's head. The second guy tried to make a run for the purse, but I went XLR8 and zoomed towards him instead, and slammed him into another brick wall, and grabbed the lady's purse, zoomed back to her, and said, "Here's your purse, Miss." She started hitting me with it after I handed it to her.

Old lady: "You freak! You monster!"

XLR8: "Ouch! Hey! I, OW! Forget it!" I zoomed off, and turned back to normal.

Dustin: "Jeez!"

Gwen: "I made us get it back." She pointed to her stone, which glowed, then stopped glowing.

Ben: "What's that mean?"

Gwen: "When this glowed, everything worked in my favor! I think I can truly help you guys out now!"

Dustin: "Okay!" Then it hit me as I just realized what the stone is.

Ben: "I know that look. You figured something out."

Dustin: "Yeah. That stone is actually one of the six Charms of Bezel. The first is the Charm of Luck and Probability, which grants the wielder supernaturally good luck, and what Gwen has. The second charm is the Charm of Resurrection which allows the wielder to return to life or recover from physical wounds and injuries and regain consciousness if the user is unconscious after a short amount of time. The third is the Charm of Pyrokinesis, which grants the wielder powerful pyrokinetic abilities, enabling them to manipulate and generate fire. The fourth is the Charm of Telekinesis, which allows the wielder to fly through the air at incredible speeds and also have great telekinetic control and manipulation over multiple objects or people all at once. The fifth is the Charm of Electrokinesis, which allows the wielder to create, generate, control, and manipulate all forms of electricity at will. And finally is the Keystone of Bezel, which increases all of the natural powers, abilities, and skills of the possessor, and increases the power of the charms tenfold." After my Intel both Gwen and Ben were shocked.

Ben: "Woah. And Gwen has the Charm of Luck?"

Dustin: "Yeah, pretty much." Then Gwen had an idea.

Gwen: "Hey. Let's go costume shopping!"

Dustin: "For you, right?"

Gwen: "Yes. You two don't need one."

Ben: "Thank goodness." She got a black-cat like costume.

Gwen: "How do I look?"

Dustin: "Like Black Cat in Batman. Just less… age."

Gwen: "Okay… I guess I should take that is a compliment."

Dustin: "Black Cat's cool! So are you!"

Gwen: "I'm just younger?"

Ben: "Yes. She's like 30-something I think."

Dustin: "Im not much of a marvel or DC geek so I don't really know."

Gwen: "Oh. That's good. Now you two have an official partner."

Dustin: "And you want your name to be…"

Gwen: "Lucky Girl."

Dustin: "Okay…"

Ben: "Not creative enough." I just elbowed him and glared at him a bit.

Gwen: "I can make anything work in my favor. That's why."

Dustin: "Oh! I get it now!"

Gwen: "So… What's our next mission?"

Ben: "I don't know but, I'm turning in. See ya guys later."

Dustin: "I'm with you thete Ben."

Gwen: "Good night."

Hex was still being escorted to jail…

When he woke up, and blew up the car, then went back to the museum. He didn't find the book.

Hex: "The book! Where is it?" He found someone, and grabbed them with his blue energy.

Hex: "Where is it?!"

Guard: "It's in the vault!" Hex levitated over to it, and used his fire power to make a hole for himself. He grabbed the book, then tried to empower himself, but it didn't work.

Hex: "How?" He looked at his oversized necklace, and found one was missing.

Hex: "The luck charm! It's missing! I must find it!" He grabbed the book, and took off.

With us…

Dustin: "Ahh… A good morning, eh, Gwen?"

Gwen: "Yeah. Not a threat in sight."

Ben: "I know. *Breath*" We were lying down out in the grass in a park. Ben was playing his game farther away, and Max was on a walk.

Dustin: "You know, now with you by our side, we will be invincible. Your martial arts skills and luck controlling powers, Ben with the Omnitrix and me with the Omnitrox 2.0, will make short work of everyone that comes our way."

Gwen: "It sure will. But, if someone learns our identities, then all three of us will be able to help each other, right?"

Dustin: "Yeah, but, I think Ben and I might need more saving now."

Gwen: "Why?"

Dustin: "You control luck, duh! You're untouchable!"

Gwen: "Really?"

Dustin: "Want me to prove it?"

Gwen: "Sure." We both got up, and I went Diamondhead, and shot the diamond shards at her. Her stone glowed, and she dodged each one.

Gwen: "Wow!"

Diamondhead: "I told ya." Then I went Heatblast, and threw fireballs at her. Her stone glowed, again, and she ducked under them at just the right time.

Heatblast: "Need more proof?"

Gwen: "XLR8. Try to punch me at super speed!" I hesitated on that, but I went XLR8 anyway, and did just that. Her stone glowed, she jumped, then gave me a roundhouse kick at exactly the right time, and kicked me to the side a few inches.

Gwen: "Wow. You're right! I'm untouchable!"

XLR8: "As you can see. I can hold my own, but I'm not invincible. You are! You're utterly untouchable! Luck's always on your side!"

Gwen: "You're right!" I reverted to normal.

Dustin: "But, we make an unstoppable team now!"

Gwen: "Yeah." We heard a scream, and saw a guy about to fall from a cherry picker.

Kyle: "Let's do this!" I went Stinkfly, and she got her new costume on, and we went into action, and Ben saw us go by, then followed us as XLR8. The guy fell off, then I continued through with trying to catch him, but missed, then Gwen flipped up, and caught him, then I went back, and grabbed them both, setting them down gently.

XLR8: "Woah. You guys were awesome."

Gwen: "Of course, Ben. Why wouldn't we?"

Stinkfly: "Oh yeah!"

Gwen: "Who's your heroine? I am!"

Stinkfly: "Um… woo hoo!"

She had interviewers talking to her now.

Gwen: "I'm Lucky Girl. Everything goes my way!"

Stinkfly: "Yep."

Interviewer: "I wasn't asking you."

Stinkfly: "Sorry…"

Gwen: "Anyway, He's these two are partners."

Interviewer: "The bug and blue velociraptor?"

Gwen: "They're the alien shapeshifting guys!"

Interviewer: "So, you're They're sidekick?"

Gwen: "No! We're partners! There's a difference!"

XLR8: "Yeah."

Interviewer: "Again. Not asking you."

XLR8: "Well, I'd never!" Luckily I grabbed his shoulder and calmed him down.

Gwen: "Ugh… Who's your heroine? I am!"

The crowd cheered, and the interviewer left.

Stinkfly: "Oh man…" Gwen gave me and Bem an angry look.

Gwen: "We need to talk, guys!" I went Upgrade.

Upgrade: "Okay. Is this about what I think it is?"

XLR8: "And would it hurt to give us time alone here?" The crowd went back to their businesses.

Gwen: "Don't embarrass me like that again!"

Upgrade: "We weren't trying to, Gwen!"

Gwen: "Not when I'm like this in public!"

XLR8: "Oh. Dang it."

Gwen: "No… you're right. I'm being uptight."

Upgrade: "We didn't say anything."

Gwen: "Just trust me. I'll be more cooperative next time."

Upgrade: "There's nothing to worry about."

Gwen: "And remember, Lucky Girl."

Upgradw;: "Understood."

XLR8: "Yes ma'am." Ben said in a sarcastic tone, which we gave me an stare.

XLR8: "Sorry." We continued off, then we were sitting in the RV. I was looking worried, and Gwen looked angry.

Dustin: "I…"

Gwen: "Zip it!" I did as she said, then hummed a bit.

Gwen: "ZIP it." I stayed quiet. I then lied back in the seat, and did a relaxed breath.

Gwen: "ZIP IT!" I was already napping.

Gwen: "Oops…" She just sat back in her angry pose.

Max: "I think you'd better calm down, Gwen."

Gwen: "I think I should, too." She got up, and walked to her top bunk in the top of the RV, and sat there.

Later, we were walking out at night, and I looked at Gwen to see if she calmed down, and it seemed that she did.

Dustin: "Gwen, I…"

Gwen: "I know. I shouldn't have stolen your spotlight."

Dustin: "Well, maybe so, but that's not what I was gonna mention."

Gwen: "Then what was it?"

Dustin: "Sorry if and Ben were…getting in your way at the interview."

Gwen: "Oh. That's not a problem at all, Dustin. I shouldn't have reacted like that."

Dustin: "I was just trying to…"

Gwen: "Say we were partners, not sidekicks."

Dustin: "Basically. I'd never consider you and Ben sidekicks, Gwen. You're both awesome."

Ben: "Thanks dude."

Dustin: "You both are my best pals. Trust me Ben, I was gonna give the Omnitrix to you dude. I never even asked for this to happen. But things happen for a reason."

We heard an explosion near a cemetery.

Max: "A cemetery?"

Dustin: "We're going in!" Ben and I went XLR8, and Gwen hopped on my back, and I zoomed into the area, with Max following us. We ran in, and saved some people that were about to fall into the ground.

XLR8 Ben: "Leave. We'll deal with this." They had done that. I went Wildmutt, and pointed one way.

Gwen: "I'll go that way, and you two go the other way?" I nodded, then went that way. Gwen went the other way.

Gwen: "Kinda creepy here…"

Voice: "It should be…" She looked around, and got in a combat stance, but still a little freaked out. Hex appeared behind her, and she backed into him.

Gwen: "Hex!"

Hex: "Lucky Girl! You have the charm I need! Give it to me!"

Gwen: "HII-YAH!" She jumped, and kicked Hex. He fell back, and she back-flipped, then came at him again. She punched him, then kicked him, and punched him another time, knocking him down.

Hex: "You're still taking advantage of the charm's powers, I see."

Gwen: "And I'm unbeatable with it!"

Hex: "Luck only gets you so far, little lady!" He shot a ray at three statues, and a minotaur, a bat, and a knight all came to life.

Gwen: "Dustin! Ben! Help!"

Hex: "I thought you were unstoppable!"

Gwen: 'But I didn't get a strength increase! I have to be careful here!' She flipped up and over the knight, and the minotaur tried to grab her, but she landed on his head, and jumped off of it, then landed on the bat. The bat flew all around and tried to knock her into something, but she jumped off of the bat, and it slammed into the rock, and fell to the ground. The knight nearly grabbed her, but she kicked the knight, and he backed up.

Gwen: "Ow! My leg!"

Hex: "It's nearly over for you!"

Gwen: "Dustin! Ben! Now would be a good time to show up!" She saw the minotaur get thrown, and she ducked under the knight, because the minotaur hit it, and it slid in front of a wall.

Gwen: "Good timing."

Four Arms: "Come on. We wouldn't leave you like that. We're partners. We watch each other's backs." I said as Ben as Diamondhead walked to me.

Gwen: "Yeah. We do."

Hex: "That's it!"

Four Arms: "Gwen, Hex is yours, and these stone idiots are ours!"

Gwen: "Got it! Ow!"

Diamondhead: "Gwen?"

Gwen: "I hurt my leg on that knight."

Four Arms: "Great. Hold on." I charged at the minotaur, picked him up again, and threw him at Hex. Hex grabbed it with his blue energy, and hurled him back. Diamondhead of in front of my and the energy bounced off him.

Diamondhead: "Go help Gwen! I'll old him off!" I nodded and went XLR8, and zoomed to Gwen as Ben fought Hex. Max ran up to us.

XLR8: "You okay, Gwen?"

Gwen: "My leg hurts."

Max: "I brought a Bandage, but I don't know how much it'll help." Gwen pulled up her pants, and Ben put it on the bruise.

Gwen: "This'll help, for now."

She ran at Hex, and clobbered him. He got up, and shot energy shards at her. She dodged them.

XLR8: "Gwen!"

Gwen: "Help Ben take down the stone freaks!" I nodded and went to Ben. I charged towards them, and the knight slashed at me, but bit I used two arms to block the attack, and Ben slashed through his chest. The Minotaur tackled me. I went Amoeblob, and splattered against a wall, then went back to Four Arms, and rushed back into the battle. Max was dealing with the bat. He grabbed a rock, and threw it. The bat smacked it away, then charged for Max. But Ben grabbed a crowbar and slammed the bat with the. It was sent flying a few feet away.

Diamndhead: "See. Steel is harder than rock."

Max: "I'll let you handle this Ben. Gwen might need help." Ben sharpened his hands in to blades

Diamondhead: "Go ahead. I got this sucker hands down." Gwen kicked Hex, and he hit her with his staff, then was hit by a barrel on the head. Gwen flying-side kicked him, and he flew into a wall.

Gwen: "Thanks, Grandpa."

Max: "You know."

Hex: "That's it!" He shot energy shards at them, and they both moved out of the way.

Gwen: "Grandpa! Hide!" He nodded, and tried to get behind something. I had punched the knight, and he fell back, then the minotaur swung his axe, but I caught it, and slammed the side of it's face with it, then slammed its head with all four arms, destroying it. The knight charged with its sword, ready to slice me, but I caught that too, then grabbed his head, and slammed him into the wall, and continued pummeling it in until it fell to the ground. Ben fire diamond shards at the Bat, and he then continuously slammed its head until it was no more.

Diamondhead: "No one messes with a Tennyson!"

Four Arms: "Or me!" I turned XLR8, and charged right into Hex, then Gwen drop kicked him, Max punched him, then Ben clobbered him.

Hex: "That's it!" He exploded with magical energy, and created a giant energy ball.

Diamondhead: "Guys! Huddle around me!" They did that, then Ben built up a giant diamond wall right before his blast hit us. After it was fired, there was nothing there, but then he felt a punch from Gwen hit his face, then a tackle from Stinkfly, followed by landing on the ground to a crowbar blow to the head from Max. He was knocked unconscious from that. Max grabbed his necklace.

Gwen: "If I had the rest of these, I'd be… unstoppable by myself!"

Stinkfly: "Or you could destroy them so they couldn't be used again."

Diamondhead: "Either is a good idea to me."

Max: "What's it going to be, Gwen?" He handed her the necklace, and she looked down, questioning it.

Gwen: "Me and Dustin could be the ultimate saving the world force, or, I could give it up… right here, right now."

Stinkfly: "Either way is okay with me, Gwen."

Diamondhead: "Whatever."

Max just smiled at her. Gwen set the necklace down, along with her charm.

Gwen: "Ben! Give me the crowbar!"

Diamondhead: "Okay!" He did that, and Gwen slammed the charms, and ended their existence.

Stinkfly: "Hmm.. Nice light show."

Gwen: "Figured I'd give you a celebration show, but, ah…"

Stinkfly: "Ah, whatever Gwen. You're still awesome. Even if you aren't gonna be Lucky Girl anymore."

Gwen: "Well, I'm just not cut out for it, I guess."

Stinkfly: "I thought you did great."

Gwen: "But I ruined our partnership once. I don't want to be like that for an even bigger battle later." Ben and I both reverted to normal.

Dustin: "We would've made it work somehow, Gwen." She ran over and hugged me, then I gave her a noogie, to which she giggled.

Ben: "You two definatley act like brother and sister." Ben said with a grin

Max: "What a sight." He sounded happy.
