Chapter 10: Ben 10:
Jack's POV:
While Peter and Jill are looking for another way to travel back in time, I am infiltrating Aku's lair. According to the Resistance, he has taken many things from the people, and I am going to bring them back. I found a door that says 'collection'. That could be where I need to go. I then kicked the door down.
. . .
Aku has taken many things. A golf cart from Mortecai and Rigby, a laptop from those three bears, a farmer's hat, a giant blue robot with a car for a head, a belly bag, a dolphin themed sword, and a yearbook that belongs to someone named Darwin. I then heard something. There was someone lurking in the shadows. I grabbed them... and it's a child. He looked like he was at least at the age of ten.
"Hey, you mind," the boy asks.
"Forgive me," I said, "I am called Samurai Jack and... you should not be here!"
"And you were given permission," the boy asks.
He makes a fair point. "I mean this is a dangerous place!"
"Yeah, well, I got a reason to be here," says the boy.
"And what reason is that," I asked.
"I know why you're both here," says Mandy as she appears with Billy, "you're both here to die."
"Really," asks Billy, "I thought the Samurai was here to steal Aku's stuff."
Mandy then slaps Billy. Beetledrones then come and I fight them off. "We must flea," I said. I then grabbed the boy and run.
"Get him," says Mandy.
. . .
"I think we lost them," I said.
"I could've taken Blank face," says the boy.
"They are more dangerous then... well, Mandy is. Billy is as smart as my Gi. Now, will you tell me what you are doing here? Your parents have to be worried..."
"What parents," the boy says. I am shocked. "my parents are dead. I'm on my own."
"I am sorry to hear that," I said.
"Ben."
"What?"
"My name is Ben Tennyson."
"I am pleased to meet you, Ben Tennyson," I said.
"I found them," says Billy.
Mandy's POV:
"I've been looking for these socks," says Billy.
I then slapped Billy.
Jack's POV:
Ben and I continued trying to be unnoticed. "Do you have any other family members," I asked.
"My cousin and her parents are also dead, and my grandpa's been missing for years," says Ben.
"Aku did this," I asked.
"Well, actually, my parents were killed by an alien named Vilgax, but Aku killed him, and he is responsible for the rest of my family."
I came here to return the people what Aku has taken from them, but instead, I will keep this boy safe.
Mandy's POV:
"Any luck," I asked.
"I found an egg," says Billy, "maybe it's a dinosaur's egg, or a martian's egg... or it's Aku's egg!"
Billy: I found it on that shelf over there
And I think it should be handled with care
It's a discovery that smells like my leg
It's Aku's egg
I...
"Just look for the Samurai!"
Jack's POV:
We continued until we found Billy and some Beetledrones.
"Hey, you're the Samurai," says Billy, "get 'em!"
"Wait, what's that a duck's egg," asks Ben.
Billy then gasps. "You might be right!"
Billy: I found it on that shelf over there
And I think it should be handled with care
It's a discovery that smells like my leg
It's a duck's egg
I...
Billy then sits on the egg and crushes it. "Hey, where's my duck?"
I then fought the drones.
"That kid really is an idiot, isn't he," asks Ben.
"We must keep moving," I said.
We then ran.
. . .
We then heard a scream. "Sounds like Billy has learned that it is a spider egg," I said.
"You can tell," asks Ben.
"My friend, Jill was obsessed with arachnids when we were children."
We then found a strange bracelet in a glass dome.
"Woah, check out that watch," says Ben.
"A watch," I asked.
"A wristwatch," says Ben.
"An item that tells time that goes on your wrist," I asked, "where is the clock?"
Ben then opens the glass dome. "I came in here looking for something to sell and this could be worth..." The watch then attaches itself to Ben's wrist. Ben screams. "Get it off me!"
"Ben, calm down," I said, "we will figure this out!"
"Hey, that's Aku's property," says Mandy.
"It's probably following me," says Billy, "and it thinks I'm its dad!"
Ben then touches the faceplate of his watch, and he turns to a fiery creature. "HELP! I'M ON FIRE!"
"Ben, calm down," I said, "I think the fire is a part of you!"
"What?"
"Put them out," says Mandy.
The drones are now on fire because Ben's panicking threw flames at them. Ben and I then ran.
. . .
"The watch seemed to have turned you into this fire creature," I said.
"Great, so how do I turn back," asks Ben.
The watch then times out and Ben is himself again.
"It seems to be temporary," I said.
"But what is it," asks Ben.
"I am not sure," I said, "we must get you out of here."
Mandy's POV:
"I want that Samurai and that kid found and dead yesterday," I said.
"Awe man," says a drone, "I have plans then."
Jack's POV:
We continued and the watch turned green again. "Hey, this thing has like ten different aliens on it," says Ben.
"Aliens," I asked, "you mean the creatures from space?"
"Dude, where have you been," asks Ben.
"I am a forced traveler from Ancient Japan," I said, "Aku sent me to your time. Because of that, I was unable to stop him."
"And that's how the world became a nightmare," says Ben.
Ben then plays with the watch again. "I don't think you should..." Ben then turns to this red four-armed creature.
"Woah," says Ben, "I am buff!"
"Ben, we have to be careful," I said.
"Yes, you do," says Mandy.
"Hey, where that fire guy go," asks Billy.
The drones attacked and Ben's new form has super strength, and he was fighting against the drones. "I love this!"
I then joined the fight. We then left.
. . .
Ben was himself again.
"Your new powers do come in handy," I said.
"That's right, I'm not Ben Tennyson anymore, I'm Ben 10!"
"And with the proper training, you can help fight Aku," I said.
"I was thinking I could just look out for myself," says Ben.
"That power..."
"I'm no hero," says Ben, "there are no heroes anymore."
This boy needs help. Then we heard something. It was a giant spider. "Hi, I'm Jeff. Have you seen my Dad?"
Ben and I then looked at each other. "Yes," I said.
"And guess what," says Ben, "it's Father's Day!"
"On the day I was hatched," says Jeff, "what are the odds?"
"And we know the perfect gift for your father," I said.
Billy's POV:
I was looking for the Samurai and the shapeshifting kid when I hit a web.
"Happy Father's Day," says the spider.
I then screamed and then stopped. "It's not Father's Day." I then screamed again.
Mandy's POV:
"That sounds like Billy," I said, "go find that idiot!"
The drones then left to find him.
Jack's POV:
I then took out the drones. "Run to somewhere safe, Jeff," I said, "and take Ben!"
"Okay, Mr. Samurai." Jeff then grabs Ben and leaves with him.
"End of the line, Samurai," says Mandy.
Ben's POV:
"Let go, Spiderbutt," I said.
"But I'm trying to keep you safe like the Samurai said," says Jeff.
"I can take care of myself." I then looked. The Samurai might need help... no! I look out for myself.
Jack's POV:
The drones have actually overpowered me, and Mandy has my sword.
"With this, I could be more powerful then Aku," says Mandy.
"Hey Blondie," says Ben, "that's my friend you have there!"
"And what are you going to do about it," asks Mandy.
Ben then activates the watch and turns to this ghostly creature. "I just realized I do have a reason to fight," says Ben, "it's to stop bullies like you. In other words, you're gonna lose!"
"I never lose," says Mandy.
"Didn't you lose to the Samurai last time," asks Billy as he was trying to get off the web.
"I'm not afraid of you," says Mandy.
"Would you like to see something really scary?" Ben then peals back some of his skin and... whatever it was, it scared Mandy. She was on the ground, shaking, in a fetal position. "Woah, that was unexpected." The watch then times out. Ben and I then leave.
. . .
Ben and I were on a roof. "Maybe you were right," says Ben, "maybe I could be a hero."
"We could always use more heroes," I said, "and I think Ben 10 would be alot of help to Samurai Jack." Ben looks at something. "Is there a problem?"
"That wall over there. There's something on it."
"It is just a mural of one of those vehicles," I said.
"It's my Grandpa's RV. I think he's alive!"
