XXXVII: Kill the Temptation
It had been days since Night Raid and the Alien Force defeated Dr. Stylish. It had been remotely quiet for them all. each trying to contemplate the two new strangers now amidst in their cause. They weren't bad people but they were too powerful to be from this world!
Gwen Tennyson, an energy bearer, and Kevin Levin, a man who coats his skin in armor with a single touch.
Leone was in a dilemma, at one point, she was excited to see their abilities...but on one hand, she was terrified. However, the great 7/8 of her fear of the groups goes to, unanimously, Ben Tennyson.
That creature she saw that day, it couldn't form into words. She babbled in her head time and time again, but couldn't get over the fact that Ben and his friends had her outranked...and outclassed.
Akame, who was stoic until she acted out against Ben, was in deep thought. She trusts him, but internally, he was still a threat still. She didn't understand why though.
Tatsumi was confused as all hell, while Chelsea was completely in the dark.
"So Ben was really for us after all," Akame said, "But inside I still feel a wall blocking that trust. Why?" she asked herself.
"A person who is as powerful as Ben can give a person a strange case of chronic denial," Najenda said entering the scene, "Don't let it get to you."
"How are you so calm, boss?" Tatsumi asked.
"Simple, I accept it," she continued, "I understand that Ben and his friends are powerful. So powerful that they could wipe us out without them even trying. This was evident when he turned into Way Big. And if past records show, Ultimate Way Big could be as powerful as any Imperial Arms ever created. Not even Akame could kill it."
"I think we should be more appreciative of Ben at this point," Tatsumi spoke, "Think about it, had Ben not joined our cause he could have easily been swayed to be a part of the Empire."
"Which could have ended Night Raid 3 days after his arrival. And knowing Esdeath, she could be persuasive," Akame said, getting up, "I'm going to apologize for my behavior and I think everyone should follow suit."
"Agreed, its the least we could for all he's done for us," Najenda said.
Meanwhile, the new member, Chelsea was getting a little bothered by the three new people on her roster. She was familiar with Ben Tennyson, though she dismissed it as a legend, an urban legend told by the masses, but having him be confirmed as the real deal really put her unnerved. Not to say she hated the guy, but like others, before today she did not trust him or his friends at all.
She watched Akame walk to the back.
"I'm trying to figure out what makes this guy so powerful?" Chelsea asked.
"Jelly?" Mine mocked, "After all that crap you spilled, you seem a little jealous that Ben is stealing the show from your worthless Imperial Arms."
"WORTHLESS?" Chelsea screamed in anger.
Mine gave no shits, "Yep, I said it! You may have the ability to transform into the people you see, but Ben has a playlist of creatures unlisted in the Danger Beast Categorial Database."
"You act he can transform into a God-like figure or something! You're just like Kevin!" she spouted.
"Whoops, don't jinx it! He may transform into a God! - or maybe a Nazi-fighting Interdimensional Bald Jesus that can strike you down with one punch!" Mine mocked harder. Chelsea gritted her teeth as Mine walked away laughing.
"Hey, Miner!" Chelsea called. Mine, offended, turned around with a scowl.
"What is it you...?" Without warning, Chelsea threw water at Mine.
"Looks like you'll be mining for a towel, huh?" Chelsea laughed.
Mine growled, "I'mma go Humungasuar on your ass now!" she charged towards a giggling Chelsea. As they chased around the scene, Akame nodded her head.
...
Akame walked into Ben's new bedroom. It wasn't as big as it was before, but it was at least spacious enough for him not to feel as if it were a prison or anything. It was more like an old farmhouse guest bedroom, only smaller with a medium sized bed, a table by the window and a clock. Nothing else. However, it wasn't the size of the room that concerned her. No. It was the fact that Ben...
"...is gone!" Akame noted in her head, "Where'd he go?"
...
She went outside to catch up with Ben's friends, Gwen and Kevin who were talking about their experiences here in this world. Both were seemed shocked and she overheard about at least sending help over only to be taken aback on how the citizens of this world would react to the technology exposed from their world. Akame shook it off and tapped on Kevin's shoulder.
"Hello, sorry to disturb you all, um..."
"You're looking for Tennyson and Ms. Violate-Mc-Window-Boob?" Kevin asked before being elbowed by Gwen.
Akame, ignoring the crudeness from Kevin, nodded.
"They're out back by the lake doing the..."
Gwen smacked the hell out of Kevin, "What? The grown man gotta get some! I'm only speaking the truth here Gwen!"
"They're hanging out by the lake hunting Danger Beasts together-at least that's what's Sheele told me," Gwen said.
"I see," Akame said, "Thank you." She walked away from the group; Gwen and Kevin resumed talking about what they had experienced being here.
...
Sheele cuddled on Ben's chest as they watched the stars above at the lake's coast. The sky was clear so the stars were plain to see the sparkling twilights spark in the night sky. The sound murmurs of crickets and owls decorated full moon's song as Ben caressed Sheele's flowing purple hair.
Sheele, though safe around Ben, felt guilty since last night. Though she was glad Dr. Stylish was defeated, in an unconventional way, the way of how she acted, though was to protect Ben, it sort of scared him a bit on the way here at the new Hideout.
"Ben?" Sheele began.
Ben turned to her, "Hm?"
"I'm sorry," she said.
Ben rose a brow, "For what exactly?"
"I was out of character, I wasn't...I tried so hard to protect you-even against my own friends, but it wasn't myself and..."
Ben held her tightly, "No, it's okay!" he reassured, "Everything is okay. Look, let's put this whole thing behind us and just look at the stars," he said.
Sheele smiled, "Right. Oh, Ben...?"
"Hm?"
"I...um...I forgot, what was I about to ask?"
"I don't know," Ben said.
"I forget," Sheele said.
"You have a short memory do you?" Ben asked.
"Sometimes, but not all the time," she said with a smile, "Say, Ben, may I ask a question?"
"Shoot."
"What is it like...in your world?" she asked.
"Well...a lot of things. Well first off, my world is not governed by an asshole...wait no I take that back."
"Your government is as evil as mine?" Sheele asked worried, wanting nothing more but to defend him from his own government.
"Incompetent, but not necessarily evil...okay the evil part is spot on but not in the level of the Empire! I mean sheesh!"
"Your cousin said..."
"Please no politics, please! The last thing I want to hear is Kevin spewing US politics in every conversation I'm in," Ben sighed.
"Oh, sorry," Sheele said, "But if there is one thing I don't regret in life is meeting you." Sheele smiled at the teen hero as she cuddled on him.
"And I you," he said as he rubbed on her head - suddenly without warning, Ben blew on her arm. Sheele giggled, but then evolved into loud laughter when he turned her around and started to blow on her stomach-only for her to push him off the boulder, "Ow!"
"Hey, you started it!" Sheele teased.
"Oh, you are so going down!" Ben said activating his Ultimatrix.
Unbeknownst to the couple, hiding behind the bushes was the red assassin, Akame watching them from the bushes as they played with each other. Ben, now as Wildmutt, chased her around.
"They sure love each other, but in this line of work, especially against the Empire, love is as tangible as air," she said, "I've seen many lives destroyed, many lives killed in the line of duty. They have to be careful, and I pray that one of them do not die before the victor emerges from the sands."
AN: A little foreshadowing there! Sorry, this took so long. The next chapter would probably be longer. Especially in the next chapter, we'll all see Koan. Until next time, I'm signing out.
PEACE!
