Ben 10 Porn Story: Written in the Stars Chapter 4
Angry red eyes snapped open.
Ulp! Ben dropped his gear and paddled backwards. The monstrous flippered machine shook itself out of a daze and zoomed past him. It began to mimic Jetrays earlier movements. Around it circled, covering a much wider circumference sucking everything in sight into its spiral. Now he knew what had caused that giant void in the sea that afternoon. Spinning around in the whirlpools hold he caught sight of Gwen flaying around as well Kevin, whod been treading water above the battle for some time now, was currently struggling to breathe under several feet of ocean.
He didnt dare risk shooting off anymore neuroshock blasts for fear of hitting Gwen and Kevin. He was helpless. He couldnt do anything without endangering his teammates. Two thick ropes of purple mana shot out coiling themselves around the metal fish. It stopped swimming and flayed futilely, trying to break free.
Ben looked over to see his cousins brow knitted in concentration as she tightened her gripe on the motorized creature. With one great heave, Gwen threw the netted contraption up and out of the water to land on the beach. People yelled, scrambling away from it. The three teens quickly surfaced.
Blagh. Kevin coughed out a mouthful of water.
The giant metal beast flopped helplessly on shore and then exploded.
Thats not good, Ben stated very slowly.
Yeah. Kevin agreed, still trying to spit the salty taste from his mouth. Lets head back.
Gwen and Ben flipped over the boat. They all aided in bailing most of the water out, before loading in and headed towards shore.

Now what? Ben asked. Theyd just finished apologizing to Moe about the damages and Kevin unhappily paid for the lost equipment.
Get a job so you can start paying me back, Tennyson, growled Kevin. I seriously doubt youve got the money you owe me just laying around.
Never mind that, Gwen dismissed. Where did that metal fish come from?
Not sure, said Kevin. But I did see something by those rocks over there just before it showed. Ben looked towards where Kevin pointed. A dark, stony peninsula leaned out traitorously over at the opposite end of the beach. The water seemed murkier and rougher out there. The surf broke hard against the narrow neck of land spend off a cloud of sea mist around the rocks. In Bens opinion, it looked like something out of a horror film.
Well, what are we waiting for? Gwen declared with false cheer. Lets go check it out.

The pleasantly warm day ended out on the rough, narrow strip of land. Wind whipped about the teens, threatening to topple them. Ben shivered slightly in the sea-spray. He wondered if theyd even be able to spot some kind of clue in these conditions.
Over here! called Kevin, waving to the cousins. Ben and Gwen approached him to see he was standing in front of the entrance to a deep, black tunnel sunk into the ground.
Pretty dark in there, Ben observed. Anyone have a flashlight? Gwen held up her arm like a torch and a purple beam enveloped her hand.
Ladies first, Kevin offered her a mock bow. Gwen returned his quip with a smirk and led the way.
The cave proved to be a tunnel with long twisted path. Slimy algae sides made it impossible to balance against and the heroes lost their footings more then once on the slick floors. Walking through the winding carven, Ben had the oddest sensation of dj vu that he couldnt quite place. Gwen stopped suddenly causing Ben and Kevin to bump into her.
Hey! Ben protested at the abrupt halt.
Did you guys hear something?
Hear what? asked Kevin.
Shhh! Listen. Gwen waved them into silence. Straining to hear over the surf, Ben heard a faint tinkling like the sound of thousands metal pins being dropped.
What is that? They rounded the next bend the noise drawing nearer. Dozens of small red lights glowed before them. The three teens automatically took a step back.
What the-?
Illuminated by the purple light, an army of metallic crabs advanced. Gwen flung an energy shield between them and the progressing arthropods. It had no effect on crabs; they seemed to melt right through it.
The invertebrates shuffled forwards, appendages clicking menacingly. They backed the three heroes up against the rock walls. Ben realized with horror at just how many crabs there were marching towards them. Theyd be crushed.
Which one? Which one? he muttered to himself rotating the Omnitrix from alien to alien. These crabs appeared to be made of the same material as the giant robotic fish theyd just fought. Nothing had penetrated its hide. What could he do?
Kevin grabbed hold of one of the crustaceans at his feet, absorbing its metal shell and attempted to smash as many as he could. However, it was too much for them to handle. Hundreds of little bodies piled up on top of the struggling teens. Ben pressed down on the Omnitrix as pincers covered them completely.
Echo! Ech-echo! Echo! Several duplicates of the small alien burst forth from under the masses its voice overlapping itself repeatedly.
Bounding about over the shinny exoskeletons, Echo Echo released sonic sound waves blasts upon the mound of crabs. Emitting a high-pitched squeal, each crab hit flipped onto its back and convulsed violently. Small electrical sparks flew off their twitching bodies and ceased with a mechanical burning stench and puff of black smoke.
You guys okay? Ben asked as Echo-Echo many bodies merged together to become one.
Yeah, just let me get rid of this ringing in my head. Gwen rubbed her temples, brow furrowed. Of all your aliens why did you have to choose that one?
It was a stretch but Id hope that the vibrations of sound waves would rattle its gears, Ben explained apologetically.
Hey, guys, called Kevin. You might wanna get over here!
More coming soon.
