It had been a bit of a while since Ben found out that Elizabeth was sleeping with other people behind his back (-including his own father) and doing crimes. She even revealed the location of the superheroes' base which most of the villains who they fought against targeted. Forced to get out of their old base (which was now gone), the superheroes made a new underground base in a new location in Bellwood. Ben helped with this construction as well.
Right now, Ben was talking to Elizabeth's twin sister Catherine on the front porch of Catherine's house.
"I'm sorry she did that to you, Ben."
"Don't be, it's not your fault."
Ben sighed as he looked into the distance, he wondered what he did to deserve this. Then, Catherine spoke up.
"Uhhh... I know this is out of the blue, but I don't think I'll have another chance to say it. I-I'm not going to pressure you, I just want to say a confession before you go."
"O-Okay... wh-what is it?"
With this, Catherine spoke her confession.
"I really, really like you Ben. I know you think I'm out of your league sometimes, but truth be told... -you're probably the one that's outta my league. I mean... I'm just a fake angel. And you're a superhero. I don't even use my powers for kicking the bad guys' butts, I just use it for self-defense and stuff like that."
At this, Ben was surprised. He had no idea that Catherine even liked him. There were signs, but they were too subtle for Ben to have noticed before. Then, Ben replied to Catherine's confession.
"I'm sorry... I now know that you like me. But... I just got out of a relationship built on a lie. I don't think I'm ready for another relationship yet. Hope you understand."
"A-Alright... I understand."
Catherine was sad that Ben didn't accept her confession, but she understood. -And she knew why he didn't. About the part where Catherine is a "fake angel", Animo took Catherine at some point and tried to turn her into a "real" angel by using a dove and an anglerfish. However, he was stopped by Ben. Unfortunately, an accident happened to the machine that was supposed to mutate Catherine. In the end, Catherine gained big dove wings which she could show and hide at will. And the "halo" she now had came from energy and the anglerfish's light that Animo used. With this, Catherine gave herself the alias "Guardian Angel". Just then...
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!
BEEP!
"Hello? Yeah, ok. Alright. Seeya."
BEEP!
Ben received a call from the Omnitrix, it was from his cousin Gwen. Then, he stood up and said "I gotta head home, grandpa and Gwen need me.". "A-Alright, see you!" Catherine replied smiling, "See ya." Ben replied back before he went off.
Meanwhile...
"Agh! Agh! AGH!"
Meanwhile, someone was groaning in pain. It was Bob. He had had the Antitrix for a while now, and he was in so much pain. It took over his body more and more, Vilgax wouldn't let him go unless he was able to accomplish the task he was given. -Take the Omnitrix and destroy Ben Tennyson. Just then...
"I'm ready, master Bob."
"Yeah, let's do this! This is gonna be a REAL blast! Hahaha!"
The one who said that she was ready was Elizabeth. Bob was planning to launch an all-out attack on Bellwood, and he would need some help. Elizabeth was essential.
A Few Hours Later...
"Hahaha!"
FWOOSH!
SMASH!
"Oh yeah! This is so much fun!"
Bob, Elizabeth and some other villains were having fun trashing everything in Bellwood. Bob hoped he would get the Tennysons' and other superheroes' attentions in the process.
"WOOOHOOO!"
SMASH!
"AAAHHH!"
People started running for their lives as more things were destroyed, some of the people were even killed.
Meanwhile...
Ben, Gwen and Max were keeping track of the villains. They had some of their information and past crimes on the Rustbucket's monitor. Then...
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!
BEEP!
"Hello?"
"Ben, this is Lt. Steel. We need your help now! Your father, Elizabeth and some other bad guys are tearing up the town!"
"-WH-WHAT?!"
"Yeah, please get here as soon as possible."
BEEP!
Lt. Steel had just called Ben to inform him, Gwen and Max about the situation elsewhere. The Tennysons then got ready, before Max started driving the Rustbucket.
SCREEECCCHHH!
VROOOMMM!
Some Time Later...
SCREEECCCHHH!
Once the Tennysons got to where Bob, Elizabeth and the other villains were, they saw the horrific scene. Property were torn up, dead bodies were everywhere and destroyed vehicles scattered the road. Just then...
SMASH!
"Whoa!"
"Hahahaha!"
Bob had just thrown and destroyed another vehicle as Quad Smack, "You!" Ben shouted. This caught both Bob and Elizabeth's attentions. "Well well well, look who it is. Loser boy." Bob mocked Ben, but Ben knew better than to let his evil father get to him. Just then, Elizabeth spoke up.
"Poor little Ben, so naive. You thought you could actually be loved? You're just a stupid dork, no one would want to be with you."
"Y'know what Elizabeth? Fine. Go your own way. Whatever you wanna do, I hope it was worth it."
After Ben said that, he slammed on the Omnitrix.
FLASH!
Ben turned into Fourarms, before starting to fight Bob, Elizabeth and the rest of the villains. Since Elizabeth was rich, she could buy herself something to defend herself. She bought some equipment that was able to modify her blue handbag into something that could give her a tough robotic suit of armor. Ben tried to punch through the suit's tough exterior. However, that was easier said than done. The suit could take a beating, and Ben was having a very, very hard time tearing through it.
Meanwhile, Gwen and Max helped Ben and the other superheroes. "Soralis Eratanichia!" she shouted, sending huge bolts of electricity towards some of the villains.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! KZZT! KZZT-KZZZTTT!
"AAAHHH!"
Elsewhere, Max and Ethan were firing at some other supervillains. They managed to fend them off long enough for the other superheroes to properly fight them. "HOO-WEE!" yelled Ethan as he and Max kept on firing. Just then...
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Cross and the other cops started firing their guns, before he shouted "This is the police! Stop what you're doing and surrender now!". Obviously, the villains didn't surrender. And they certainly wouldn't listen to ordinary cops. However, Cross and the cops could fight off some of the villains as bullets worked against some of them. This forced those villains to back up a bit. Just then...
SCREEECCCHHH!
VROOOMMM!
SMASH!
"Agh!"
THUMP!
"Oomph!"
Elizabeth tried to get some distance from all the chaos and action using her Rolls-Royce. However, one of Ben's friends (who was named Kenneth) drove his red highly-modified 2004 Pontiac GTO straight into it. With Elizabeth now stunned, Kenneth quickly got out of his car and went inside hers. There, he managed to pick up a few things that would help him, the Tennysons, the cops and the other superheroes. -Including Elizabeth's phone. "H-Hey! Give that back!" shouted Elizabeth. However, Kenneth was too fast and managed to get back in his car before driving towards the Tennysons.
FWOOSH! FWOOSH! FWOOSH!
BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!
"Agh!"
Ben and Bob were fighting, Bob had just shot crystal spikes on Ben's arms. "Not again!" said Ben as he saw that his arms were starting to bleed again. However, he was much stronger and tougher this time so he could take it and keep on fighting for a while. Then...
FLASH!
"Wreckingbolt!"
FWOOSH!
BAM!
"Agh!"
CRASH!
Bob turned into Wreckingbolt (his version of Cannonbolt) and rolled towards Ben, sending him crashing into the ground. Wreckingbolt had some spikes on his outer skin, so a hit from him would be much more painful than Cannonbolt's.
"Ungh..." Ben groaned as he tried to get up. However, Bob turned into Bootleg (his version of Upgrade). Then...
CRACKLE-KZZT! KZZT-KZZZTTT!
Bob charged up on galvanic mechamorph energy, prepared to blast Ben into oblivion. Just then...
FLASH!
FWOOSH!
Ben switched to Ghostfreak, allowing him to go intangible and invisible. After he disappeared, Bob was confused as to where he went. Then...
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
"AAAHHH!"
THUMP!
"Oomph!"
Ben appeared behind Bob as Ghostfreak, before pulling a classic move. -Phasing his hands through his head and using Ghostfreak's ability. Bob was defeated once again, Ghostfreak was an alien he didn't have.
Through all the chaos and action, Elizabeth could see that she, Bob and all the villains with them were losing. It was a hard battle, but Ben and hia friends persevered through it. They weren't going to let their town get wrecked from the inside out by bad guys. With Kenneth distracted by something else, Elizabeth tried starting her car again. However...
RRR-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!
"Huh?"
RRR-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!
Elizabeth tried to make her car start, but it wouldn't. Then, the reason why suddenly came out from one of the wheels. -It was Ben as a form he called "Grey Matter", Grey Matter was a galvan which meant he was smart. However, sometimes Ben didn't know the things he'd say as Grey Matter. It felt weird. Just then, Ben switched forms again.
FLASH!
Elizabeth was surprised when she saw a flash of blue light out the left window of her car. She tried to get out, however...
FWOOSH!
"Surprise!"
"AAH!"
Ben appeared as Upgrade! Suddenly, Ben punched the window open before downgrading both Elizabeth's robotic suit and her car.
FLASH! FLASH-FLASH-FLASH!
"AAAHHH!"
KZZT! CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE-CRACKLE! KZZZTTT!
Soon, both Elizabeth's suit and car collapsed into pieces and fell on the ground. Just then, Ben solodified himself near Elizabeth before extending his arm, pinning her to a wall and saying "It's over, give up." Knowing that she had no chance by herself, Elizabeth reluctantly surrendered. "A wise decision." said Ben. Just then, a couple of villains were thrown across. When Ben looked to his right, he saw Gwen, Max, Ethan and Kenneth. "'Sup dude?" asked Ethan, "Hey cuz." said Gwen. "Hey." Ben simply replied back. The battle was over. The heroes have won, and the villains were forced to run again.
Some Time Later...
Cross, Lt. Steel and the other cops managed to arrest most of the villains. With most of their data that Kenneth was able to provide, they could keep a closer eye on them from now on.
"Well Tennyson, I gotta admit you and the superheroes did a mighty fine job once again."
"Thanks Sergeant Cross."
"Hehehe, no problemo."
Ben was able to give the data of the villains Max had on the Rustbucket's monitor with Max's help, this would help the cops keep a closer eye on them from now on. Plus, Kenneth added to that data by sending what he got from Elizabeth's phone. I'm pretty sure these events would send a message to the villains that the heroes including the Tennysons and their friends aren't just chumps who walk around with powers, weapons or both. Most of the villains that were handed over to Cross, Lt. Steel and the other cops were taken to the police station. Some managed to escape, but they were too few and weak to cause some serious damage.
A Few Hours Later...
"Well... that went well."
"Yeah, we made it out alive. We BARELY avoided death."
Ben said those first words, and Ethan could only agree with those second ones.
A Few Minutes Later...
Ben and Catherine asked if they could have a moment to themselves, everyone agreed. Most of them went back home anyway. Then...
"Look Ben, it's alright if you don't feel ready to be in a relationship with me. I can totally understand that."
"No. I shouldn't let you remind me of Elizabeth. You've shown me that you're not like her. And you know what Catherine?"
"What?"
"I like you too."
At this revelation, Catherine blushed. Then, she said "So... shall we?". Ben nodded in response. Then...
-The two kissed each other for the first time. This was the start of a new chapter for Ben's relationship life.
