Chapter 8: More Help is Always Appreciated

I do not Ben 10 in any way shape or form~~~

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?" I asked.

Kevin and I were both shocked to see him appear out of the RV.

"Xylene says that you need some help. I was thinking I'll stay here tonight and in the morning I'll go awaken her from her trance and we'll blow the fountain up once and for all."

"Ok sounds good to me, all the help we can get is appreciated, but there's one small problem," I replied.

"What's that?" He asked

"Xylene is in her trance until the end of the 4th night of camp. She also said the fountain can't be destroyed unless all of the people who have drunk from the fountain drink from it a second time. She said once all the power is away from everyone, then that's when fountain can be destroyed once and for all," I finished explaining.

"So what does that mean?" Grandpa Max asked again.

"That means all the people who have drunk from the fountain are going to be annoying the crap out of us!" Kevin put into a very harsh tone.

"Well, let's see what's annoying when we wake up tomorrow. It's not very long until we put in a final fight. Grandpa, I want you to be prepared because tomorrow morning there will probably be more people that drank from the fountain. Let's just be prepared for a long fight tomorrow. I'll also let Gwen know before I head back to the cabin later."

So we ended our conversation. Grandpa Max offered to let me sleep in the Rust Bucket, but I told him I needed to guard the area by my cabin. I headed over to Gwen before we were all told to go back to our cabins.

After letting her know the plan for the morning, I headed back towards the cabin where I met Kevin again. It was about 5 minutes until 11 o'clock and it was just weirdly gloomy around the entrance to my cabin. I entered where I saw Kevin getting ready for bed. The strange part is our roommates weren't there at all.

"Umm, where's our two roommates? They should have been back by now," I said.

"Don't ask me, I'm heading to bed goodnight Ben."

Then all of a sudden I heard a bang on the top of our tiny cabin. Then as I opened the door and walked outside, Cash and JT were standing there.

"Great what do you guys want?" I asked.

"Nothing except to show you our awesome new power. WE can now control other people we force to drink from the fountain Ben. You and the entire hero side of camp are doomed! Have fun," JT said. Then they disappeared and my two roommates were in their place.

"Nice to see you again Ben," Chris, who was one of my roommates said. "You guys are doomed."

They then started to pick me up and they then threw me towards the abandoned amphitheatre. Then all of a sudden Kevin landed right next to me.

"What is it THIS time!?" Kevin asked angrily.

"Cash and JT got their power to control people down. Let's fight our roommates until they're unconscious."

"Gladly," he replied.

I then reach for the omnitrix. GOOP!

After the transformation competed I started shooting a bunch of mucky stuff at them. Kevin was trying to get a good punch in but nothing would work.

"Give it up you two, you're nothing but week and wimpy." Chris said.

Then all of a sudden Grandpa Max flew up with his jetpack.

"Leave my grandkid and his friend ALONE!" He yelled.

He then shot lasers at them. They were stunned.

"What's going on?" Chris asked.

I quickly changed back to normal. "Nothing you two were headed to bed. You fell down on the way up here," I explained. They quickly headed to bed.

"Okay, you two this has gone too far. Tomorrow meet me at the RV. Also, take this, you guys might need it," Grandpa Max explained.

He threw some sort of disk type of object, except it was a bit large and had an hourglass type of symbol on it. "What is it?" Kevin asked.

"It's a plumbers badge just press the button and say Max Tennyson and it will contact me, now go get some sleep and everything will be solved in the morning."

After his conversation he walked back to the Rust Bucket. Kevin headed to take a shower while I got on my bunk. My roommates finally fell asleep. As soon as Kevin got out I told him, "Kevin tomorrow we're going to get Cash and JT."

"Go to bed and stop worrying about it," he replied. So after a few more thoughts I fell asleep.

The next morning I awoke to Kevin and my other two roommates missing. The only thought I had in my mind was that Cash and JT were behind this with their evil friends. I also checked the clock to make sure I did sleep in. It was 6:30, and something felt off. I then heard what I thought like lightning outside. It was just the gloomy glow of the fountain in the background. I just wanted to make sure nothing weird was going on. I grabbed the omnitrix and turned into Big Chill. I went intangible and then saw people standing on the field. Looking down I saw Gwen, Grandpa, and Kevin all standing there in some sort of attention stand.

"So nice of you to join us Ben!" Cash hollered. "ATTACK."

Then everyone on the field started shooting energy beams at me. I went intangible and froze most of the people. I quickly remembered the ray gun Grandpa used the night before. I quickly flew inside the rust bucket. Hoping the omnnitrix wouldn't run out of power. I grabbed the ray gun.

"Cash you guys fail," I stated. I then shot the ray gun at both of them and everyone on the field disappeared except for Kevin, Gwen, and Grandpa Max and Cash and JT.

"Cash and JT you guys are in trouble," Max said.

I changed back to normal. Then very shockingly Xylene flew out from the direction towards the fountain.

"Did you guys miss me at all? It's always a pleasure to see you again as well Max. Now as for the fountain as soon as everyone drinks from it again. I can fully deactivate its power and erase everyone's memory as soon as that is done," she finished stating.

Then right there Cash got up.

"It won't be that easy you morons. Tonight at dinner anyyone who has not drunk any of the water from the fountain, will have some. We took some samples to give to them. Good luck getting anyone to drink it a second time," he said.

Then Cash along with JT who were still weak both vanished.

"This is not good at all," said Gwen. Everyone nodded in agreeance.

The rest of the day went on. We went through they day's activities hoping nothing bad would happen. At lunch the girls tried to freeze time and have everyone attack us. Their little planned failed.

It was just one annoying thing after another. Grandpa Max and Xylene caught up on old times and finished the plan for the night. After the afternoon was nearly over we all decided to meet in the rust bucket. It was about 45 minutes before dinner.

"Ok, Xylene and I finally managed to come up with a plan. If they say they have gotten some of water from the fountain already, then Ben you should be able to go Big Chill and freeze some of it," Grandpa Max started saying.

"Sounds like a plan," I said.

"That's not all of it. Kevin and Gwen you need to keep people from escaping the cafeteria. While I shoot anyone with my stunning ray in case they get away. Everyone from the camp will be in there and this needs to end."

"Also, I will be by the fountain when this all ends. The fountain will glow red when all the powers from everyone is gone. If the fountain does not glow red I can not destroy," she lectured us.

"Then let's get this going." Kevin said.

We headed towards the dining hall for what was going to be a very weary dinner. Grandpa Max sat down by the entrance, where there was a bench. Xylene went back to the fountain. The three of us went in and took a seat. So far Cash and JT were not inside yet. Then I noticed something weird, everyone froze. Then quickly, the pitchers on every single table glowed blue. Then they were filled with water.

"Enough of this Cash!"

"I warned you to give up or this would happen," he replied.

Then everyone glowed blue. I then activated the omnitrix. I selected Big Chill. The ground shook and the omnitrix switched holograms while I slapped it down.

"Brainstorm?" I said aloud. "Now by the power of the magnificent forces. They will not drink this water." Then I opened my shell and everyone, including Cash and JT were electrocuted. Time resumed and the water he conjured was put back at the fountain. The day finished off. Dinner was just a small hassle. Xylene didn't manage to destroy the fountain, which was not good at all. They did manage to get JT to drink some more of the water, which put out his powers shortly. The day ended after all that hassle. Cash and his gang have one last thing planned and I knew it at that point. Let's just hope that we can stop them tomorrow, on the last day of camp.

One chapter left :)
