Summary:

to her responsibility and realise the mistake she has been making.

(Gwens
apartment)

Gwen sighed as she
watched the television which was reporting another rampage by an
alien monster; the difference was she knew this alien. It was the
same alien as the one who had torn up most of the cities in the last
half year since she had turned her back on him it was her beloved
cousin Ben Tennyson.

She remembered how
it had started as she sat down and put her face in her hands, she had
allowed Kevin to convince her to quit and leave Ben as on his own,
Ben had reacted badly and they had gotten into a very horrible
argument and they had both said some very hurtful things but in the
end she had hurt him the most when she had screamed at him that she
never wanted to see him again. She had seen the look in his eye as
she finished her sentence, the look of defeat, pain and agony as she
chose Kevin over him.

The worst thing
was she had betrayed her promise to Ben, the promise she had made him
in secret when he had first found the Omnitrix to always be there for
him. She had long been his conscience, his support, his heart and
when she had turned her back on him she had broken all of it and left
him with nothing to learn on and the city was paying the price of her
stupidity. She and Ben had grown closer every year since their first
summer trip with Grandpa Max; they always hung out and bounced their
problems of the other until her mistake.

That
closeness however was weakened when she had begun to stick up for
Kevin something Ben had never understood and she could see his point
as during their first summer trip Kevin had almost killed them both a
few times. She had allowed herself to be fooled into thinking she
liked Kevin to distract her from the truth that was in her heart
something she had always had trouble excepting and that was that she
loved her cousin she loved Ben with her whole heart and she knew Ben
had loved her back just by the look in his eyes when he looked at
her.

Her fear of facing
that truth had allowed Kevin the pull the blinders over her eyes
until it was to late she had betrayed Ben and now in his pain and
rage he was destroying what he had once protected although as of yet
he had not taken a life. Grandpa Max and the plumbers were doing
everything they could to stop him but they were no match for the
powers of the aliens within the Omnitrix and of course Bens rage.
The worst thing about all of this was Ben had been right not to trust
Kevin, as soon as she had done what he wanted he had revealed the
truth and that was he wanted to break the bond between her and Ben
and then use Bens pain to control him thinking he would be more
pliable in such an emotional state. Well he had been wrong and no one
could control Ben because he was buried deep within himself lost to
his grief and rage, she could feel him over the spell she had cast
when they were younger to monitor him but it was a faint echo.

She stood up and
began to leave her apartment, she had run from her fear and her
mistake long enough, it was time to face them head on and bring her
Ben home. She knew Kevin may try and stop her if he was still around
considering the thrashing he had received when he had tried to
control Ben after he had revealed his plan but she would allow
nothing and no one to stop her from saving Ben he was her
responsibility and her heart.

(City Centre)

Max Tennyson shook
his head as he watched his grandson continue to rampage through the
city as he had every other city he had been in for half a year. He
did not know why Ben had suddenly turned on them all and started to
destroy everything he came into contact with but he did know he had
to be stopped before he ended up killing anyone it was his duty as a
plumber.

He dived as a huge
chunk of a building came down on his former position, suddenly
someone stood next to him and he looked up and was shocked to see his
granddaughter Gwen standing there. She had been missing for the same
amount of time as Ben had been on his rampage and he had begun to
fear Ben had done something to her in his current mindset.

Clear everyone
out of here Grandpa Gwen said with a determined look in her eyes
as she looked up at where Ben in Chromastone
form was hanging from a building

Gwen, where
have you been all this time? Max asked as his fellow plumbers
again fired on Ben only to miss as he jumped from building to
building

Later Grandpa
when I have brought Ben home Gwen shot back as she summonded all
her power and began to make her way to her cousin ignoring everything
else around her

Max hesitated for
a few seconds before he issued the orders to pull back and make sure
the centre was cleared of all civilians, he prayed that if anyone
could stop Ben it was the one person who was closet to him even more
than himself and that was his cousin Gwen.

He turned and
began shouting to clear the area to the few people stupid enough to
hang around and watch the battle unfold, he looked back for a few
seconds to see his grandaughter get closer and closer to Ben who had
yet to see her before shaking his head and continued to evac the
people knowing Gwen could handle herself.

Gwen moved as fast
as she could on the purple platforms she conjured beneath her until
she was behind Ben who was watching from the top of one of the
buildings as the plumbers pulled back, she took a deep breathe before
speaking and alerting him to her presence

Ben she
shouted and then watched as Chromastone turned and faced her, he
stared at her for a few minutes before suddenly he vanished and in
his place stood the object of her heart Ben in his human form

He
looked tired and broken and his eyes were dead and pull of pain with
little of the energy they used to process, she had done this to him
in her fear and stupdity and she would fix it. She also would not
allow Ben to pay for her mistake, she would fight anyone even Grandpa
Max and the plumbers if them came to arrest Ben for what he had done
in his pain and anger.

She stared into his
eyes and waited and prayed she could reach him without having to
fight him and then watched as he collapsed to his knees and began to
shake, she moved forward and stepped onto the top of the building and
dropping in front of him. She reached forward and pulled Ben to her
and at first her resisted but finally he gave in and collapsed
against her and began crying his pain and anger spilling out.

Using
her magic she brought them both to street level holding Ben tightly
to her, he was completely shut off from the world and only she could
bring him back only she could correct her mistake.

Well done Gwen
Max said as he and a bunch of plumbers appeared all of them training
their weapons on Ben Now hand him over, he has to pay for what
hes done he added the regret in his voice obvious to everyone
that he didnt really want to do this but saw no other way

No I wont
Gwen hissed I am taking him home with me Grandpa where I can heal
him and correct my mistake she added I will phone you later
with the address and then you, my parents, Bens parents and the
plumber in charge can come over and I will explain why this happened
in the first place because it shore was not Bens fault she
stated

Gwen I am
afraid that is not an option Max responded Ben has caused to
much damage for us to just allow him to go he added

I wont let
you take him from me Gwen hissed again before she called on her
magic and a shockwave knocked Max and the plumbers to the ground and
Ben and Gwen vanished

How did she do
that? Jake one of the plumbers shouted as he and the others stood
back up

Her powers have
obviously grown Max replied with a shake of his head not really
surprised by what Gwen had done and curious what she had meant when
she said her mistake needed correcting Something else is going on
here, were missing something he added in thought I better
contact the rest of the family so we can await Gwens call
together, tell Peter to meet me at Bens families house he added
before heading to his RV

Jake just nodded
before looking back at the devastation that Ben had caused, he had
used to think the kid was a hero but that had all changed when he had
gone on a rampage. He sighed before heading to the control van to
inform Peter the plumber in charge of capturing Ben what had just
happened

(Gwens
Apartment)

Gwen also
collapsed as she and Ben reappeared in her apartment that spell had
taken a lot out of her but it had been worth it. She took Ben to her
bedroom and placed him on the bed where he curled up and just stared
at her.

The look in his
eyes broke her heart but she was determined to bring her Ben back to
life by confessing the full truth, but she had to wait until he was
in a state to listen and there was only one way she knew how to do
that and that using one of the spells her grandmother had taught her
when she had explained about the Anodite
and where her powers came from before leaving. It was not a spell to
be cast lightly she had been warned but she knew there was no one
else she would choose to cast it on, it was called the ritual of
bonding and it would tie her and Ben together mind body and soul for
the rest of their lives.

She knew the only
way to reach her Ben through his pain and rage was if he could feel
her love for him and see the truth about everything that had happened
in her mind. Her grandmother had told her the ritual was used for
those who would be married but she did not care at this junction, all
that mattered to her was saving Ben.

(Hidden Base)

Damn her
Kevin Levin snarled as he watched the report from the spy drone

The original plan
may not have worked but the chaos Tennyson was wrecking was better
than nothing and worth the injuries he had suffered when he had tried
to manipulate Ben for his own ends as was the pain he had caused Gwen
when he revealed the truth of his plans to her but now she had
obviously decided to get over her pain and guilt and finally help
stop her cousin. He would have to do something about this and quickly
and that meant finding where she had been hiding herself all this
time, he turned and walked away to plan how to stop her from bringing
back the old Ben Tennyson.

(Bens Families
House)

Max sat waiting
alongside the rest of his family which included Sandra and Carl Bens
parents and Gwens parents Frank and Lily who after been overjoyed
to learn their daughter was okay had switched to concern when they
learnt what she had said and done. Peter the head of the new Plumbers
was also there looking very relieved the situation with Ben was
almost over

Do you think
she will call considering we tried to arrest Ben? Peter suddenly
spoke up he was nervous and hated long silences

I think she will
once she feels secure Max answered But if we make any move
against Ben well be in trouble he added making sure the others
understood they werent to do anything like that and they all
nodded

Why is she
protecting him after the chaos he has caused? Frank inquired
wanting to know where his daughter had been all this time and why she
was helping Ben

Something she
said before she vanished leads me to believe this isnt all Bens
fault Max responded She said she would heal him and fix her
mistake, whatever mistake she mentioned must have led to Bens
going on a rampage he added

Dont blame
my daughter for what Ben has done Lilly shouted angered by the
very idea He and you have constantly brought her into danger and
this time the price was to high she added

I made my own
choice to join them an annoyed voice said from behind them and
they all turned to find Gwen standing in the corner with her arms
folded against her chest Do not assume mom that they forced me to
help them she added

Frank ignored the
hostility in his daughters voice and ran over and hugged her just
stopping himself from crying that his daughter was okay, he had never
doubted her ability to choose her own path as his wife had and so did
not feel the need to find blame for her actions. He released her as
Carl, Sandra, Max and finally Lilly all hugged her

Gwen, where
have you been all this time? Carl asked his niece wondering if he
would soon be able to see his son

Hiding Gwen
replied Hiding from my mistake and my responsibility she added
suddenly looking sad and angry

What mistake
Gwen, what is it that makes you believe you are partly responsible
for what Ben has done? Max inquired as he guided her to a chair
and sat her down joined by the others

First you have
to understand this is not Bens fault the Ben you know has been
trapped in the deepest corner of his mind trying to escape the rage
and anger he has been feeling Gwen began after taking a deep
breathe as she knew some of what she was going to say would not go
down well All the damage he has done was done by the aliens within
the Omnitrix acting on his anger and rage, Ben was not in control and
before you ask how I know I will tell you she added I cast a
spell when we were younger that allowed me to monitor his emotional
state, I have sensed nothing from it but a dull echo she explained

What caused
this anger and rage? Max asked silencing Lilly with a look as she
went to protest something

Me Gwen
answered with a sigh And before any of you start protesting let me
explain she added noting that her mom and the plumber were about
to start arguing None of you have any idea the pressure Ben has
felt when he bears the Omnitrix, at first it was all fun and games
until we both realised as long as he wore it aliens would come for
him and those close to him to get to it. I saw what you didnt
Grandpa I saw the worry and the fear he felt at night because I made
a promise to him to always be there for him to always be his support
and his conscience and I have never turned my back on him even after
we got the Omnitrix of him she explained We grew closer than
you know, closer than even we realised at first but when we did at
first we fought against it knowing it was not widely excepted in the
world and of course knowing the trouble it could cause in the family
but Ben gradually came to except it, but I continued to let my fear
control me and it helped cause what happened she went on

What are you
saying Gwen, just what is it you are implying between you and Ben?
Sandra asked a nagging idea already forming in the back of her mind

They are in
love with each other a new voice said and they turned in surprise
to find Verdona
had somehow joined them

Verdona
Max said stunned What are you doing here? he asked as she sat
down next to him

I felt Gwen
access her full power and the distress within her so I came as fast
as I could before she did something she might regret Verdona
answered I already know the situation with Ben after checking in
with the plumbers when I inquried where you would be she added

You cant be
seriouus Mom, Gwen and Ben cant be in love their cousins Franks
interupted her still in shock fro what she had said

What she says
is the truth and we are Gwen said before Verdona could say
anything in return We know for most of the world it is thought of
as wrong but for others it is not, it depends on where you are in the
world she added I researched it when I realised the truth of my
feelings for Ben, but I still hid from that truth leading to Bens
downfall she sighed as she spoke

How Gwen?
Max asked not too stunned by this information as he had always
thought they were closer than anyone believed and considering his
relationship with Verdona he had never though he had any right to
complain

When
you went missing and Ben came to me asking for help I knew he would
put the omnitrix back on, I didnt want him to and I know he didnt
either but for you he did it and I swore once again he would never
loose me Gwen answered However I messed up in trusting Kevin,
my fear of truly admitting my love for Ben allowed him to fool me
into thinking I liked him and after we dealth with the dna aliens he
convinced me to quit and leave Ben thus breaking my promise to him,
we got into a huge argument and we said some very hurtful things but
I really struck deep with my last sentence all of it out of fear of
admitting the truth to him and to you and I watched as my Ben died,
all that was left was a shadow stuck in anger stuck in rage whilst he
retreated inside his own mind to escape it she informed them
Kevin soon revealed his plan had been all along to break the bond
between me and Ben because he had realised what had kept Ben on the
right path, his plan worked but failed when it came to his belief he
could control Ben in his devastated state, Ben trashed him like he
was nothing and as for me I ran and hid when I realised how big of a
mistake I had made how much I had betrayed Ben she stated with an
angrished look on her face

Gwen you are
not to blame for what Ben has done out of some childish fit Lilly
spat angered by what her daughter was saying

Dont
you understand mom I have always kept Ben steady especially when it
came to him wearing the omnitrix, the responsilbilty to use it for
good and for protecting this world and the rest of the universe for
people like Vilgax almost crushed him but he never showed to anyone
especially not Granpa Max who he was afraid to let down but I saw it
and I was the one who comforted him and advised him and chased away
his nightmares Gwen hissed angry now her mother was not listening
Without me the pressure would have eaten him alive and he would
have either given up or turned and that was something I would not
allow and Kevin soon realised this and he used it to destroy us, all
the good weve done has been undone she almost sobbed and
Verdona moved over and pulled her into a hug whilst Max realised how
stupid he had been not to see what his granchildren had been going
through during their adventures and he had unwittenly added to the
pressure with how pleased he acted to see someone in the family
follow in his footsteps

Gwen, where is
Ben? Carl asked angered to learn how much the Omnitrix had
affected his son and nieces lives

At my apartment
resting, he will remain there whilst he recovers and I rebuild what I
broke Gwen replied I already started by performing the ritual
of bonding she added knowing this would cause trouble but she no
longer cared how he parents reacted she just wanted her Ben back

What is that?
Sandra inquired noting the surpise of Maxs face whilst Verdona
just smiled sadly

Are
you sure you did it for all the right reasons Gwen? Verdona asked
gently and when Gwen nodded she nodded her head in understand before
facing the others The ritual of bonding is used on married couples
or those to be married by Anodites, it joins them mind body and
soul and allows them to see into the other she explained shocking
the others I performed it myself on Max and me when we were
together she added

Why did you do
it Gwen? was all Frank could manage to ask

Because first
it was the only way to reach my Ben, it was the only way to show him
how I truly felt and the only way for him to see who was behind all
this Gwen responded without the slightest bit of guilt or regret
at doing this Second when I finally have my Ben back I do not want
anything to come between us again which includes you I have made my
choice and it is him she stated We will deal with Kevin for the
last time once Ben is truly back and then we will live our life
together, we will rebuild our reputations and the trust we have lost
during all of this and when it is time Ben will pass the Omnitrix on
to the next worthy protector she finished

Undo it now
Lilly ordered not wanting to except anything her daughter had just
said whilst Frank realised no matter what they said Gwen would do as
she wanted and decided not to bother to argue

It
cant be undone Lilly Verdona shot back And to try would most
likely kill them she warned them Gwen has made her choice and
you should all except it she is old enough to make it and this is the
only way to save Ben from himself she added

This doesnt
exactly absolve Ben of the destruction he has caused Peter said a
little relieved to learn his kids hero had not done this by choice

Yes it does
Gwen shot back with a glare I am warning you now if you try and
take him from me I will fight you and I will win she warned the
man We can make sure the people understand that the person who did
this was not Ben but Kevin using technology to make himself look like
Bens alien heros, we can say Ben has been held captive all this
time she explained

That would be a
very big lie Peter countered glancing at Max and noting he seemed
to agree

Yes it would
but then at least Kevin will pay for his crimes and Ben will be free
to continue to protect us all Gwen responded Its the best
thing we can do, please give us a chance to reurn the trust we once
had, I promise once Ben is back in his right state he will be the
hero he once was she asked almost pleaded

Peter
and Max exchanged looks before nodding knowing some of what Gwen had
said was true, a lot of plumber kids still looked up to Ben and Gwen
Tennyson and this plan would allow them to keep that belief in them.

Okay Gwen,
well give you a chance Peter said I think you and Ben have
earned that much after everything youve been through he added
with a small smile

Thank you
Gwen said leaning against her grandmother and looked to Bens
parents who looked relieved to see their son would not be punished
for something he had not done willingly

Will you take
us to see Ben? Sandra finally asked wanting nothing more than to
assure herself her son was okay

I cant
transport all of us Gwen said in reply

But
together we can Verdona cut in with a smile and whispered to Gwen
what to do

The others all
watched before standing when they were asked to and then watched as
Gwen and Verdona both began to glow purple before they all vanished
from the house.

(Gwens
apartment)

Gwen
led Sandra and Carl straight to Ben who was still curled up in her
bed, he was awake and he watched them sit next to him on the bed and
began to run their hands through his hair. When Gwen caught his eyes
she was relieved to see more of her Ben in them than had been there
for sometime and when he gave her a small smile she quickly returned
it before going back to her the others

This is where
youve been living Frank said How did you afford it? he
aske again

I got a job
dad Gwen replied And as I said I didnt get in contact
because I was running from my mistake she reminded them he went to
say something Fixing this will take time but it can be fixed even
now I feel my Ben slowly returning she added with a smile

Gwen this is
wrong Lilly argued You cannot marry Ben I forbid it she
added and Frank groaned at his wifes stupidity

I do not need
your permission anymore Mom, I am of age and can make that choice
myself and if you cannot live with it then stay away from me and Ben
for I will not allow you to cause him anymore heartache, hes been
through enough Gwen shot back angered

Gwen I respect
you choice Frank said glaring at his wife to keep quite I am
somewhat uncomfortable about it but you are right that there is no
law against cousins marrying is certain places in the world and if
this is what you truly want then will except it and so will your
mother in time he added I am sure when the real Ben is back he
will do everything in his power to give you everything you deserve
he stated and he pulled her into a hug

You
have my word on that another voice said and they all turned to see
Ben was up although he was been surported by his father and mother
Weve lost to much time already he added as Gwen ran into his
arms almost knocking them over

Easy Gwen, hes
a little unsteady on his feet Carl said having decided to except
the choice his neice and son had made as had his wife as neither
wanted to loose them

I know
everything that has happened, I can see your memories Ben said as
Gwen led her over to her couch an sat him down I can feel
everything you do and I know the truth and I forgive you Gwen I know
fear can make us do stupid things and what happened between us was
just one of those things he added with a small smile It will
take time but we will regain what we once had I am sure of it he
added

Thank you
Gwen said and unable to stop herself she kissed him as hard as she
could and Ben returned it beginning to feel like his old self as the
anger and rage he had been feeling for so long was redirected towards
Kevin and put under control as he once again felt Gwens comforting
presence supporting him

Ben, how do you
feel son? Carl asked still concerned how tired his son looked

Im hungry
and tired dad but I will get better Ben responded as he and Gwen
finally stopped their kiss Im sorry I let you down Grandpa I
never wanted to do this I just couldnt control myself I was lost
in my rage he said regreatfully

Its okay
Ben, its not your fault its mine for not seeing the stress you
were under and for putting to much pressure on you to be a hero and a
plumber Max responded I never saw how much having the Omnitrix
affected you he added

Because
I hid it I didnt want you to think I couldnt handle it Ben
said I only let Gwen see, I trusted her to help me I knew she
would always be there for me he added with a smile whilst Gwen
looked guilty because she had broken that promise Gwen its okay
dont feel guilty its over now he said as he felt her
distress over the newly developed bond she had created between them

Ben do you know
what Gwen has come up with to cover up the truth? Peter inquired
touched to see the reuion between Ben and Gwen and it made him think
of his own wife So you can return to the plumbers when you are
both ready? he asked

Yes I do and I
think its a good idea as I have a lot to make up for Ben said
facing the lead plumber And Kevin deserves to pay for what he has
done to me, to Gwen and to the plumbers he has betrayed he
continued

As
the afternoon wore on Ben became more and more like his old self as
he reconnected with Gwen and his family although his aunt Lilly was
somewhat chilly towards him which he could understand and knew it
would take time for her to except the true status of his relationship
with Gwen. Peter left soon after so he could put their plan into
motion and begin to track down Kevin, he had promised to call Ben and
Gwen once he had been found as they both wanted to be the ones to
bring him down.

Verdona spent time
teaching Gwen to harness her full powers which she had accessed in
her distress whilst Ben talked to his parents and Grandpa Max about
how he truly felt about the Omnitrix, it made Max realise how blind
he had been but Ben would not allow him to blame himself as he truly
felt proud to bear the Omnitrix. Frank and Lilly went into another
room and argued over what they had learned and soon Lilly was forced
to except the fact that Gwen would one day marry Ben if she did not
want to loose her daughter.

(Plumbers
headquaters, Three Weeks Later)

Ben
had come along way in the last three weeks and was more and more
becoming like his old self, his relationship with Gwen was even
stronger than ever before. They had both been welcomed back by the
plumbers kids who all believed the story they had constructed to hide
the truth which had been extended to include Gwen been captured along
with Ben to explain her absence, the older plumbers who knew the
truth had decided to give them another chance after remembering all
they had done in the past.

They
had been tracking Kevin as fast as they could and were closing in on
him, Ben had not yet used the Omnitrix somewhat afraid he would be
unable to control the alien heros until Gwen had helped him overcome
that fear. They
were both learning to use the bond to help one another in over coming
their problems and guilt, each time they did use the bond they seemed
to become more and more connected and they both loved the feeling of
safty and love they felt from the other.

Weve just
got an alert Peter shouted causing everyone to look at him Kevin
has attacked a plumber base on the outskirts of town with a bunch of
alien mutations, reports indicate he has mutated as well most likely
hes found some way to regain his absorbsation powers and used it
on his new allies to make himself stronger he informed them

Then lets go
but remember leave Kevin to me and Gwen Ben spoke up forcing away
any negative feelings he had Everyone else concentrate on the
mutations he added as he headed for the two trucks

Ben, Kevin in
this way form is much more dangerous like he was when he teamed up
with Vilgax Max reminded his grandson as he jumped in the truck
along with them

I know Grandpa
but remember I have all my rage to burn on him Ben stated with a
grim smile This ends now once and for all he added as he kissed
Gwen feeling her concern over the bond and her determination to
finish Kevin once and for all

He
goes into the null void permantly this time Grandpa Gwen said as
she pulled away from Ben as they had come up with a new plan to bury
the null void generator which would contain Kevin as deeply as they
could and make sure no one would ever find it again, he would never
again threaten the world or the Tennysons
again

(Outskirts of
Town)

Kevin smirked as
he thrashed a plumber to the ground before suddenly turning as he
heard two trucks pull up, he watched as a load of plumbers charged
out and with them came Max, Gwen and Ben Tennyson. He growled in hate
at the sight of Ben back in his right mind and he knew he was in for
one hell as a fight but it was a fight he was determined to win and
finally kill his enemy and finally breaking the spirit of Max and
Gwen, he charged straight for Ben who quickly spotted him and looked
to the Omnitrix and changed into Humongousaur
and took the charge head on causing them both to strain against the
other

Gwen
eyes narrowed as soon as she spotted Kevin and she prepared his magic
which thanks to her grandmothers teachings was even more potent than
before and more in her control, she waited until Ben was pushed away
from Kevil before unleashing it and smashing Kevin into the side of
the base he had been attacking. Kevin groaned as he forced himself
back up before doubling over as Humongousaur
smashed his fist into his chest but he quickly recovered and struck
back and they quickly began to exchange blows.

Max
knew the fight with Kevin had to be done by Ben and Gwen if they were
ever to put the past behind them and so concentrated on the mutated
aliens Kevin had allied with. Using his hand held null generator he
quickly captured three before running to help Peter who was been
ganged up on. Helen, Manny and Pierce teamed up with two other
plumber kids and took down five more of the mutations which although
strong were weak against their powers. Gwen lashed out again as Kevin
managed to knock Humongousaur into the near by cliff which
surrounded the city, she knocked him backwards cutting him in the
side, Humongousaur lept back up and smashed one of the mutations
which was about to jump on Gwen into the cliff squishing it
completely in his anger at seeing Gwen in danger before charging at
Kevin once again.

The
fight began to even out as the plumbers gained ground on the
mutations with their teamwork until finally they were all either
destroyed or captured, they then formed a circle and watched the
battle between Ben, Gwen and Kevin grow more and more deadly. Gwen
watched and waited as Humongousaur managed to land another good blow
which sent Kevin to the ground hard after the former had managed to
cut Humongousaur with a knife he had hidden on himself before she
launched her full power on him and smashed him against the cliff edge
three times before allowing him to fall to the ground uncouncious as
Humongousaur back into Ben and grabbed one of the hand held null void
generators and walked over to Kevin who now lay bleeding on the
ground

I
hate you and your family Tennyson
Kevin groaned as he tried to move

Ben did not
reply and activated the generator and sucked Kevin into it, the rage
and anger he still felt finally dissapated which the defeat and
capture of the man who was responsible for it all. He looked up as
Gwen ran to him and pulled him into a deep loving kiss which he
gladly returned, before he and she were swept into a hug by Max
whilst the plumbers cheered.

They returned
to base and transferred all the captives to one of the bigger null
voids which would then be burried as deeply as they could and they
left with no markers or any other way of locating it. Kevin would be
trapped forever for his crimes and his betrayl of the human race, Ben
and Gwen then had a family gathering where they informed them it was
finally over and they could begin their lives together

(Church, Five
Years later)

Ben shifted
nervously as he waited at the head of the church with his best man
Pierce behind him, after the fight with Kevin he had worked hard to
regain the trust and respect of the plumbers alongside Gwen and he
had succeeded striking up a long time friendship with Pierce. His
relationship with Gwen had grown closer and closer but they never
rushed it, they finally made love for the first time two years ago
and he had proposed to her last year to which she had gladly excepted
and with a little help from Max in hiding her truce name for the
wedding they were finally ready for the big day

Finally
the wedding music began and he took a deep breathe as the doors
opened and his uncle Frank led Gwen down the isle, she looked more
beatiful than ever in her white silk wedding gown than he had ever
seen her and he hoped he did not forget to speak whilst looking at
her. Another surprise had come three months ago when Gwen had
informed him and the rest of the family she was pregnant with their
first child, a huge party had followed and Ben had never felt
happier.

The
wedding began and he stared into Gwens eyes feeling her joy over
the bond at finally completing their joining, he savored the feelings
and then he focused on speaking and then putting the ring on her
finger without messing up. When the priest finally pronouced them man
and wife he felt like would explode from the joy and happeyess he was
feeling and he needed no prodding to kiss the bride which he did.

The reception
was nice and as the night wore on he began to feel complete and he
could tell Gwen felt the same way, they held hands all through the
speeches and of course they both had enjoyed their first dance as a
married couple both remembering when Gwen had taught him to dance
during their first summer trip together so long ago when they had
first started their journey. Finally they went on their honeymoon and
spent two weeks in spain relaxing with no need to run off to save
anyone, they looked out to the sunset and knew they had many years
ahead of them to create many more happy memories

(Plumber
Headquaters, Twenty years later)

Gwen
watched as Ben finally handed over the Omnitrix to their eldest son
Ken, all these years she had waited for the day when they would no
longer need to risk their lives and finally it had come but one of
their sons was taking their place with him own partner a girl he had
met seven years ago called Erin. She worried but she knew Ken could
do this having been trained not only by Ben but some of the best
plumbers around in how to deal with the dangers in the universe and
with the Omnitrix he had a better chance than ever of succeeding as
his father had done all these years.

Twenty years
together had not dimmed the love they felt for one another, they had
four children, two boys Ken and Max and two Girls Aria and Jennifer.
They had made many memories together which included saving the earth
and the rest of the universe multiple times but now the time had come
to rest and just live their life although they would continue to
train the new generation of plumbers.

It seemed like
a nightmare now when she looked back on the time when she had lost
Ben to her own fear, but it had turned out for the best and she
wouldnt have it any other way. She smiled as Ben rejoined her and
kissed her as deeply as he could before turning to watch the rest of
their kids congradulate Ken along with Erin who looked very proud of
him

I love you
Ben she said she leaned her head against his shoulder and felt his
arm around her waist

I love you
too Gwen and I always will Ben responded kissing her again before
they turned and exited the building to watch the sunset once more as
a new future becound
