Chapter 4:
Ben and Gwen were still held prisoner.
"Why didn't you tell me," asks Ben.
"Ben, I just thought... we need you here," says Gwen.
"So, you decided to answer for me?"
"I... see why how messed up that was."
"Let me ask you something. Who really needed me?"
"Ben... do you realise how long it was before we started speaking? I... didn't want to lose that."
"How touching," says Morningstar as he enters, "the kids are going to get us the Annihilargh."
"Why do you want it," asks Ben.
"You're a fool, Tennyson, I don't want it, the Master does!"
"What are you...," Ben then notices something on a table, "wait, I just realised that corpse was over there. Is that..."
"Who else? Once we fulfil his demands, he will grant us our desires."
"Michael, he can't be trusted," says Ben.
"I'm bored with all of this now." Morningstar then walks away.
"Ben, what was that about," asks Gwen.
"Take a good look at that corpse."
Gwen looks and is horrified.
. . .
Ken, Devlin, and Bella sneak into the Museum. They walk over to the Annihilargh.
"I've seen this in movies," says Devlin, "there should be lasers everywhere."
Ken then turns to Grey Matter and manages to get past the lasers. He then climbs up the thing and cracks the code, opening the glass case and turning off all the security.
"So, the code on that specific case deactivates all the security," asks Bella.
"Remind me to send a letter," says Grey Matter.
Bella then uses her hair to pick up Ken and they all run.
. . .
At the Head Quarters of the Flame Keeper's Circle, the members were gathering.
"With this machine that was built by Dr. Animo," says Morningstar, "we will be able to revive the Master!" Everyone cheers. "And then all of our desires will be fulfilled!" Everyone cheers again.
"What if Tennyson Jr. decides not to help us," asks Xingo.
"Oh, he will!"
. . .
"What ever he used to tie us up, it's keeping me from using my watch," says Ben.
"I can't believe he's forcing Devlin to steal for him," says Gwen, "and if Billy finds out, I'll never hear the end of it. Plus, if your wife finds out, she'll kill the both of us!"
"Don't worry, Gwen, I already thought of a way out of it," says Ben.
"That's great!"
"I'll tell her it was your fault!"
"That's not so great."
Then something comes crashing in. It was a large robot.
"Does that look like..." Gwen begins.
"Simone Sez, what did I say about going in without me," asks a voice.
"Simon," says Ben.
Simon Sez comes in. "Hey guys, have you met my daughter, Simone?"
"My Daddy told me alot about you, Mr. Tennyson. Did you know that the first Baron Tennyson was Alfred, Lord Tennyson? He was the Poet Laureate during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular British poets..."
"Just like her Father," says Gwen.
"Where have you been," asks Ben.
"Well, I'm a plumber, so I've been in space." Simone activates her robot and Ben and Gwen get a good look at her. "Oh yeah, her Mom was a Pugnavore. Because of that, I gotta take her on missions."
"Why," asks Gwen.
"Pugnavores feed off conflict and aggression. Because She's half human, it's not so bad with her, but she still needs her dose of excitement."
"Weird," says Ben.
. . .
Ken, Devlin, and Bella make it to the Flamekeeper's Circle's base.
"We got your thing," says Ken.
"You've done well," says Morningstar.
Devlin then looks and sees Ben and Gwen. He then taps on Bella's shoulder and she sees. Bella then taps on Ken's shoulder and he sees.
"Well," asks Morningstar.
"You want it," asks Ken, "come and get it!" Ken then turns to Slapback and multiplies. The Slapbacks then throw the Annihilargh to each other and Morningstar tries to grab it.
"Why would he..." Tim Buktu then realises, "Ben escaped, didn't he?"
Ben then turns to Rath and attacks Zombozo.
"Let me tell you something, Herbert Zomboni," says Rath, "Rath don't like traitors!"
Gwen kicks Tim Buktu.
Simon goes after Nanny Nightmares.
Simone in her robot suit goes after Xingo and Queen Bee. "This is delicious," says Simone.
There is a fight over the Annihilargh.
"Might as well get it over with!" Morningstar activates the machine and the corpse comes to life.
"No," says Rath.
"Dad," says one of the Slapbacks, "what did he do?"
"He's bringing back the real leader of the Flame Keeper's Circle!"
A hand then rises and the corpse is now alive.
"Hello Ben Tennyson!"
"Vilgax!"
