Ben 10- Epoch

Chapter One; What happened to the Good Old Days?

7 Years Ago-

So where to next? Kevin asked. All three of them drove down the dark interstate, still hyped over another fight won. It was the weekend and Gwen and Bens curfew was still a couple hours away, they were in no hurry.

How about a movie? Ben suggested from the back seat, The new Zombie film is playing. Gwen made a face and Kevin simply shrugged. Kevin would go along with it, Gwen would complain, and Ben would simply be optimistic and tease the former twos relationship. That was how their time was spent.

Ill call Julie, she can come with us! Ben said as he pulled out his cell phone, but before he dialed the number he looked up with a sly grin, Itll be like a double date.

This in turn earned him a glare from Kevin which was his way of avoiding a glare from Gwen.

Ben looked at them with feigned innocence, Was it something I said?

Bellwood–

His alarm went off, and his instant disliking of it returned. Ben hit the snooze button with annoyance. He still felt stuffed from all the steak he ate last night, courtesy of his mother. Such a strange dream, he couldnt really remember it vividly. A bit of dj vu rushed through him as he tried his best to recollect it. ugh too weird. He got up from his bed and stretched. Today was a new day, he would try to see if Julie could see him and perhaps go to his old haunts for old times sake. His parents already said theyd made plans for a dinner reservation so hed have a time limit today. If he could remember correctly, Julie had said she had been working for the local veterinarians office. She always did like animals, or pet-like creatures.

He got dressed and ate a quick meal before heading out. Bellwood hadnt changed much at all, the same smoothie place, same kinds of kids hanging around. He pulled into the Vets office, looking at the names on the door to see none other then, Julie Yamamoto Veterinarian, in white.

Ben walked into the vets a little nervous, he hadnt seen her in a long while. How would she react? Would she be angry? Would she be?

BEN TENNYSON! A young Asian woman screamed as he walked through the door. The joy was evident in her smile. She didnt look much different, her hair was slightly longer but her height never wavered. She ran up to him and enveloped him in a tight hug.

Oh, Ive missed you! Julie said, You could have called me! Ben was confused.

How did you know I was..

Your mother called me three days ago and said you were coming. She answered. Ben looked even more confused, You and my mom talk?

Someone has to keep her company every now and then.

Ben shook his head sadly, Of course, after all Im never home anymore. Julie picked up on his tone. Ben we all understood why you had to leave, no one blamed you. She gave out a sad sigh, Lets not talk about that now, youre back and we have a lot of time to spend!

7 years ago-

Ben and Julie had the duty of getting the tickets while Gwen and Kevin got the food. It was a last minute hang-out but they relished in these moments. Rarely did they have time to act like the teenagers they were.

Four tickets for Dead Snow, please. Ben gave the ticketer his money in exchange for the pink slips of paper.

So, do you want butter on your popcorn? Kevin asked Gwen as they stood in-line at the concessions. Gwen shrugged her shoulders in response, making Kevin sigh with aggravation.

Alright, do you want any candy?

Reeses pieces. She replied.

How can you pick those over MMs? He asked, obviously picking a fight.

Because I prefer peanut butter to chocolate thats why. Gwen retorted.

What kind of person chooses chocolate over peanut butter? Kevin nearly yelled, they earned themselves the attention of all those around them.and the embarrassment of Ben and Julie.

Obviously someone who prefers to keep their options open to more then just one thing.

And what is that suppose to mean? Kevin asked.

It means at least I can make up my mind on what I want, unlike some people.

You got a problem with my decision making?

Yes, thats exactly what Im saying. She responded. They always had arguments like this, no matter how trivial it was it would always come to the nature of their relationship. It was like a fun game to them, both fun and frustrating.

Kevins Apartment-

Kevin made out with a haul last night, so many people were too ignorant to realize the drag race was fixed. Kevin made the call on who would win and who would lose, that was just how he worked. But as he sat on the couch of his grungy apartment with his winnings spread out on the coffee table, he felt as if it didnt matter anymore. What Argit had told him, was far more valuable. He held his head in his hands in thought. What would this bit of information be to him? He felt sohopeful..when Argit had told him of the transferring. But when he turned the idea over in his head it came to him.

Why would they be transferring High Risk criminals? There were only two answers to that question, one rather hopeful and the other caused his heart to drop.

The bad moments flushed through, he frowned. Had she gotten better? Was she the same Gwen he had come to admire and adore? Did she think about him? Would she be thrilled to see him again as he would her?

No, he wouldnt think this way. She deserved what happened to her, for not trusting him, for going to him for help. It all started with her not trusting them- at least that was how he figured.

Despite the unresolved issues that lay ahead, he had no choice but to get to the Null Void.

He had to get there, but he would need help.

Null Void-High Asylum

Sweat soaked her forehead as she tossed and turned, her nightmare gripping her subconsciouss sanity. Tossing and turning upon her cot she cried in fright, ..stop, I dont she kicked her feet around, need any.. The loud screech of her cell door opening awoke her from her nightmare. With her breathing erratic she looked herself up and down all covered in sweat.

Still not sleeping well, I see. She turned her head toward the newcomer. The tall plump figure of her grandfather looked at her with a melancholy smile.

Grandpa Max? She looked at him in confusion, staying where she was just incase this be a continuance to her nightmare. Youve already visited me this month, how are you here? Her grandfather stepped further into the cell, a questionable look on his face.

There has been a hearing for you in two days time, what the nature of it is I dont know. She didnt miss the strain in his voice. Whats wrong Grandpa? She got up this time, sure of herself, and walked over to the only family member that visited her. The large aged man caught his granddaughter by the hands, looking down at the energy dampeners in her palms. It was as if he was trying not to cry, and every word pitted the battle against him.

Gwen, I hate to see you this way is all. Max Tennyson had high hopes for his granddaughter and to see her deteriorate little by little every time he saw her took a lot out of him.

Im okay Grandpa, really. She smiled weakly.

They say you still talk to yourself.. Gwen opened her mouth to protest, Dont try to lie, Ive seen the security tapes. Her faulty faade deflated. Her grandfather looked at her with a hardened expression.

She wont go away. Gwen whispered and pulled her arms across her chest, holding herself.

Gwen, there isnt anyone here but you and me. He grabbed her by the shoulders firmly. Gwen shook her head in protest, No, you dont understandshes always listening, waiting to be let out againI told you shes the one who caused But she was cut off by her grandfathers booming voice.

ENOUGH He looked down at her with anger and frustration, while she looked back with sorrow.

You caused that tragedy Gwen. Gwen shook her head violently in denial.

You were the one who lost control, you put everyone in danger over your addiction. She ripped herself away from him, still shaking her head and bringing her hands to cover her ears.

And in two days, if you dont prove to them that you have overcome this.they will deny you parole and execute you Gwen.

7 years ago–

Gwen hit the pavement as a Forever Knight hit her by the ankles. She held her hand out to draw up another energy blast but her power fizzled out. This was happening a lot lately, her powers being drained so easily. She didnt want to bring this up to the guys, lest they worry about her or consider her a burden. Kevin came and shoved the offender away from her, he was always fighting for her sake then for his. Instantly she felt inadequate, what if she was loosing her powers? She was half anodite after all, perhaps there was a limit.

She looked over and saw Ben change into Big Chill to freeze several Knights as they ran, Kevin was busy pounding two of them in his cement form. But she lay helpless on her knees, weak and vulnerable to do anything. She couldnt let them know of her dilemma so she stood up and tried to dodge as many as possible. The fight didnt last much longer anyway, before the rest decided to retreat.

Alright! Another successful take down! Ben cheered.

Are you okay? You seemed rather lousy tonight. Kevin asked as he noticed Gwens silence.

Im just exhausted, thats all. She smiled at his worried face.

Whatever you say. he said, and dropped it. He didnt want to bother her if she were already tired.

That next night, Gwen knew who she had to go to, if her power were draining so quickly. She needed some way to get more, the trees and nature around her didnt seem to do it anymore. She walked along the shadowed alleys to the Foundry. It didnt take her long to come across the familiar building at the edge of the local Power Plant. Gwen walked up to the large pair of steel doors and knocked as hard as she could. She heard movement inside.

Open up, I know youre in there Michael!
