Ben 10 Porn Story: The Expanded Adventures of Benjamin Tennyson Chapter 5

I do not own Ben 10, or
any of the characters that have already or will debut in the series.

Note: This project
ignores the events of Race Against Time, Ben 10 Versus
Negative 10. Goodbye and Good Riddance and Ben 10: Alien
Force. I have other plans for Ben, Gwen, Charmcaster, Animo, and
all the others.

Secondary note: For
this project, benwolf is Howlrunner, benmummy is Underwraps, and
benviktor is Boltneck.

Whoa! Down, boy!

Wildvine
held onto the mutant monster his left vines were wrapped around. It
was probably some kind of dog, he reasoned, before Animo had done
whatever it was he did to them. Or a bear, or . . . something with
fur. It was hard to tell what Animo started with sometimes. Whatever it was, it was on a rampage, and it needed a distraction
while someone dealt with Animo. WIldvine had drawn distraction duty
this time, and he intended to do it well.

While
Wildvine was busy with the mutant animal, Max and Gwen were sneaking
around behind Animo. At his signal, the two of them split up, trying
to catch Animo in a pincer. The plan was sound, as was the logic
behind it. But Gwen wanted to try something else. She was more than
a little tired playing second fiddle to Ben and Max. Their last
major encounter, shed been hypnotized into fighting both of them. It was time they backed her up.

Jumping
out, she raised her hands and said the words to a spell shed read
about in her spellbook. It was a simple thing, a bolt of eldritch
energy that would knock Animo on his butt. However, nothing
happened. She tried again, but the only thing that did was attract
his attention. Animo raised one of his gloved hands, ready to do
whatever it was he did to hyper-evolve creatures into monsters.

Before
he could fire, the furry monster hed let loose came crashing
through the wall with Wildvine riding it like a cowboy. Animo leapt
to the side before he was pulped by debris raining down around him. Gwen cast another spell, a barrier to protect herself. Fortunately,
this one worked, so she stayed sheltered under an invisible shield
while the warehouse collapsed. When the dust settled, Animo was
pinned by Wildvine, while Max turned Animos mutation ray on the
furry creature, causing it to revert to its regular form. A job well
done.

So why
did she feel so bad?

Ben
10

Toil
and Trouble

Ben,
you need to be more careful. There was no reason to destroy that
building.

Sorry,
Grandpa. It wasnt like I could control it. Wildvines powers
dont include mind control. Ill try not to next time. Hey,
Gwen, where were you during the whole fight?

Gwen
turned sharply away from the window to glare at Ben. He probably
hadnt meant it the way it sounded, but it still made her mad.

I was
there. You just didnt see me, seeing as how you were trying to
bring down the whole neighborhood.

But, I
mean, did you even do anything?

Gwen dove
on Ben, fist cocked back. She didnt care if she got in trouble,
just so long as she could wipe the inquisitive look off her cousins
face. She actually managed to hit him once before Max could stop the
Rust Bucket, come back and drag her off Ben. Gwen was heaving, wet
ragged sobs. It took Ben a minute to realize that she was crying.

Its
not that easy, you creep! We dont all have super powers just
falling out of the sky! Some of have to work for it, you-

The rest
of Gwens tirade dissolved as she broke down. Twisting out of
Maxs grip, she ran for the door, leaving Max and Ben behind.

Max had
given Gwen a few minutes to come back, and, when she didnt, he and
Ben went searching for her. Max decided to have a little talk with
Ben as they did so.

You
know, you really shouldnt have talked to Gwen like that. Remember, you had trouble with the Omnitrix when you first found it. In fact, you still have trouble with it.

Hey, I
didnt know she was going to freak out like that. Besides, it was
a valid question. I didnt see her until after the fight.

All the
same, you could have worded the question differently. Hows the
eye, by the way?

It
still stings a little. Hey, did any of your Plumber buddies do
magic?

One of
them did. Why do you ask?

Well,
maybe you could call in a favor, get him to train Gwen a little.

You
know, thats not a bad idea. I bet Blaise would like that. That
is, if shes still running that little school she set up. Just
dont tell Gwen. Id like to surprise her with this.

Gwen woke
up to bright sunlight. Groaning, she rolled out of bed to look out
the window. There was a large brick building outside, surrounded by
statuary, fountains, and what looked like meditation gardens. It
looked like paradise. The only question was, what were they doing
here? She was about to ask when Max came back.

Morning,
Gwen. How are you doing today?

Fine, I
guess. But, what is this place? And what are we doing here?

Well,
Ben and I had an idea-

No, I
had the idea. You just knew someone that fit what we were looking
for.

Whatever. Anyway, one of my old Plumber contacts started a summer school for
young spellcasters, and I thought, if you wanted to, you could get a
little extra training.

Gwen
wrapped her arms around Max. After a minute or so, she released him,
and then started shoving clothes into her backpack. It didnt take
all that long, and soon, she was walking with Max up to the school,
Ben trailing behind them. A girl about the same age as Gwen came
bounding out to meet them. She had long, black hair and glasses, and
was dressed in a dark brown robe.

You
have been anticipated. Mistress Ta-e-che will see you and your-

She
stopped, trying to figure out how precisely Gwen was related to Max. After about a minute, she decided it didnt matter.

And
your elder. Follow me, please.

The girl
turned around and started walking towards the double doors. Gwen
looked over her shoulder to say goodbye to Ben, but he wasnt
there. She shrugged her shoulders and went into the building.

Im
sorry, but no one knows where Mistress Alderwood went. She didnt
show up at the beginning of the term, and I was chosen to serve as a
replacement until she should return.

Ta-e-che,
despite her Oriental-sounding name, was a slim woman of Greek
origins. Gwen had no idea what would prompt her to take a name like
Ta-e-che, but she obviously had her reasons. Gwen mulled this over
while Max tried to find out where his Plumber friend had gone.

I just
talked to her a few months ago. She sounded fine, and-

Again,
I apologize, but no one here has heard from her for months. Do you
still wish to enroll your granddaughter?

Yes, I
do.

Very
good. Phoebe, please show Miss Tennyson to her room.

The
black-haired girl nodded, and then gestured for Gwen to follow her. Gwen hefted her backpack and left the office. She trailed Phoebe
through the vast hallways of the school. Soon, she was watching the
ceiling, caught up completely by the decorations: vast paintings,
marble statuary, gilded columns. She was so taken in by this that
she stopped watching where she was going, and ran into Phoebe.

Oh,
man, Im sorry. I was just-

Its
all right. Happens to everyone on their first day here. Now, you
need to get fitted for a uniform.

Uniform? What kind of uniform?

Phoebe
spread her arms, indicating the robe she was wearing.

One of
these. Frankly, I think they should do without, but, you know, the
whole keeping everyone equal bull. Anyway, go in. Ill hold your
stuff.

It took
about five minutes to get fitted, and then Gwen was following Phoebe
through the dormitories. Phoebe put a hand on one of the doors,
which swung open silently. Gwen looked inside. The room was kind of
small, with only one bed.

Single-occupancy?

Yeah. Some of the kids that have been here for a long time request
roommates, but first-year students get single rooms.

Cool. So, I guess Ill see you around then?

Yeah,
sure. Whatever.

Phoebe
turned around and hurried away from Gwens room. Gwen began
setting up her stuff. She had just finished setting up her laptop
when she sensed a presence at the door. Turning around, she saw two
other girls standing there.

The one
on the left looked a lot like Phoebe, except she was a little taller
and didnt have glasses. The one on the right was nowhere near as
normal. Her hair was white. Not the light silver of Charmcasters
hair, but dead white. It took Gwen a moment to realize that her eyes
were the same color as her hair, which left her looking a little
creepy.

Are you
guys some kind of welcoming committee?

You
could say that.

This came
from the white-haired girl. Her voice was as dead as her hair color. Her expression reminded Gwen of a shark closing in on its prey: lethal and uncaring. While Gwen was trying to figure her out, she
raised a hand.

There
were no words, at least none that Gwen could hear. No flashy effect,
nothing. The white-haired girls spell caught in seconds, and Gwen
found herself completely paralyzed. Sure, she could move her eyes,
and she was still breathing, but other than that, her muscles had
frozen. Now, the white-haired girl smiled, a predators humorless
grin at catching something. She raised her right hand, and a set of
six-inch stilettos came out of her fingers.

Dont
worry, this isnt supposed to hurt, but feel free to scream if you
want.

The
white-haired girl plunged her hand into the point where Gwens neck
connected with her torso. Surprisingly, it didnt hurt at all. She definitely felt something there, but no pain. The white-haired
girls eyebrows raised a little, and she started dragging her hand
around Gwens torso, stopping at bellybutton level.

Huh. Never found one here before. Rachel, give me the crystal.

The other
girl pulled a large crystal on a chain from around her neck. An
intricate gold net wrapped around the crystal, terminating about a
millimeter short of the point nearest to the floor. The white-haired
girl took it from her with her left hand while pulling her right hand
out of Gwens chest. She held up her hand, and Gwen saw a ball of
light cradled delicately in the points of the claws. She put the
light at the uncovered point on the crystal, and it dimmed while the
crystal lit up. When she was satisfied with the crystal, she put it
around her own neck, and then waved her hand, releasing Gwen from her
paralysis.

Wha-what
did you do to me?

Youre
new here. Ive been here for eight years. Traditionally, each of
the eighth-year students chooses some lump of fresh meat as their
personal whipping post, errand boy, you know, that sort of thing. I
just took some insurance from you.

What
did you take?

Dont
worry, Ill give it back when you leave.

What. Did you. Take from me?

Figure
it out for yourself. Lets go, Rachel.

Gwen dove
for the white-haired girl. She was going to get the crystal from
her, even if she had to use force to get it. She got close enough to
take a swing, but she was blown backward by some sort of
psychokinetic blast. She crashed into the bed, and by the time she
recovered, both of the other girls were gone.

Selene
rolled the crystal around in her hands as she walked. Rachel was
walking behind her, saying nothing. Selene preferred it when her
sisters didnt talk. It kept them from disrupting her train of
thought. She was still considering the crystal when someone grabbed
her by the arm. Selene was pulled around until she was looking
Phoebe in the face.

Let
go.

You
didnt do it, did you?

Do
what?

Can you
at least get it back out?

Get
what out?

You
know, sis, that new kids soul, the one you to-

Rachel,
shut up!

Jeez,
Selene. Just because you can
do something doesnt mean you should! Please tell me you can get
it back out.

Dont
worry. The ashkerii
can take anything from inside anywhere.

Then
pull it out and show me. Now, or I tell Ta-e-che.

All
right, all right, just let me-

Selenes
sentence went unfinished, interrupted by the squeal of claws running
across crystal. Stunned, she tried to punch through again, only to
be defeated a second time.

Great. Just great. Out of all the people searching for one, you
have the soul cage. And youre too stupid to make it work right.

Fine. You try and open it.

No one
knows how to open one of those. No one even knows how to make
those anymore. So, now we have to figure out a way to open a soul
cage before-

Phoebe
stopped talking, and it took a moment for Selene to realize that
someone was behind her. Turning around, she saw Ta-e-che standing
there, with arms crossed and a stern look on her face.

Selene,
come with me. Now.

Selene
had been in this office before, at least five or six times in the
last month or so. Right now, it was for disciplinary reasons.

So, you
just decided to rip out someones soul-

I
didnt rip it out. I carefully removed it. No ripping.

Semantics. You dont even know who that was you assaulted, do you?

As she
said this, Ta-e-che was rummaging around in one of the drawers in her
desk. When she raised her head from the desk, she was wearing a
metal mask. It was the face of a woman, a heartless woman with a
face like ice. Ta-e-che was no more. What stood in front of Selene
was not entirely human. It was Hecate, former goddess of magic. Selene trembled a bit at this side of the headmistress.

She is
the granddaughter of one of the people that imprisoned me in this
meat sack. Her cousin is the shapeshifter that has been appearing in
the news. You remember what we had to do to Blaise Alderwood, dont
you?

Y-yeah. I remember.

Well,
we may have to do it again, thanks to your incompetence. What news
on the ritual?

We . .
. we figured out the last part, I think. Well need to do some
checking, but-

No
checking. We do this tonight, and I will regain my divinity before
mornings first light. Begone with you.

Selene
got up out of her chair, and Hecate removed her mask. Neither of
them noticed the eyes watching from the vent.

Gwen was
busy sorting her stuff when something dropped out of the vent. Her
first instinct was to try and stomp it into oblivion. It wasnt
until the third or fourth stomp that she recognized the lump on its
back. She put her foot down slowly, and waited for Grey Matter to
turn back into Ben.

What
are you doing here? When Grandpa Max finds out-

Hes
the one that told me to do some snooping around. He was suspicious
of this Ta-e-che woman, and he had good reason.

What
are you talking about?

Her
real name is Hecate and, according to her, shes a goddess that
Grandpa and a couple of other Plumbers trapped in a mortal body. Shes using a couple of the students to help her break out that
body and become a god again.

Wait,
what? Shed need a lot
of power to do that, and I dont think any of the students have
that kind of power.

Id
been poking around her desk. There were a lot of notes about some
kind of line that they were going to tap into. I didnt really
understand it.

Line,
line . . . leyline?

That
might be it. But, we need to stop her tonight. Thats what she
said to Selene.

Selene?

White-haired
girl, wearing some kind of necklace. Kind of a creepy-looking kid.

Come
on, we need to make a pl-

The door
burst inward. Ben and Gwen split to avoid the shrapnel. Gwen looked
up first, and saw a tattooed behemoth, tusked and grimy, standing by
the doorway. Selene was standing next to it, left hand on the
things right forearm.

Good
job, Spellslave. Now, grab them.

Gwen
muttered a quick spell and appeared 15 feet down the hall. Selene
jerked her head around, saw Gwen, and ran toward her. Gwen raised
her hands to cast another spell, but didnt get it out. Something
clapped over her ears, and she sank into unconsciousness.

Gwen came
to with a headache. Groaning, she opened her eyes. She was in a
stone room. Ben was lying across the room, arms stretched to either
side so he couldnt use the Omnitrix. Gwen got up, and was able to
get halfway across the cell before her left leg refused to come
forward. Childs play. Ill have both of
us free in no time. She raised her hands and
cast a simple unlocking spell.

Nothing
happened. Gwen tried it again. Again, nothing. That was when she
heard the snickering from her left. She turned to see Selene staring
at her.

Youve
never heard of a restrictor? Go ahead, take a look at your left
hand.

Gwen
looked. There was a metal glove attached to her left hand. As she
watched, the glove tightened around her hand. Gwen hissed in pain as
it contracted.

See,
that turns off your magic. Youre just another worthless mortal
with one of those on. Ta-ta, Red.

Gwen was
furious. Neither she nor Ben could do anything to stop Hecate. Balling her hand up in a fist, she punched the wall of the cell. All
that did was hurt her hand. While she was trying to dull the pain,
something walked up to the cell door and pulled it off. It was the
monster that had attacked her and Ben in her room, but it looked
different. None of the tattoos that had been on it earlier were
there now. It moved over to Ben, and a brown-haired girl of about 15
came over to her.

Youre
Maxs, I presume?

Yeah,
but . . . who are you?

Blaise
Alderwood. And, before you ask, it was either go back to being a
teenager or get vaporized by Selene and her sisters. There we go.

Gwen felt
the chain on her ankle and the restrictor fall off. At the same
time, Ben woke up, aided by a light slap from the hulking monster. When his head cleared, he dove away, only to be stopped in mid-roll
by Blaise.

Easy,
kid. Hes on our side now.

Oh. Sorry, uh . . . whats his name?

Thats
not important right now, Ben! We need to stop Hecate and Selene!

It took
some time for them to find their way through the underground. When
they did come up on a large enough cavern to perform rituals, Blaise
motioned for them to stop. She poked her head around the corner, and
brought it back almost immediately.

All
right. We only need to take one of the sisters out. Without all
three, the ritual wont do anything. Ben, we need speed right now. Got anything that can provide?

Sure. XLR8, coming right up!

There was
a flash of green light, and Ben was replaced by XLR8.

See you
guys once Im done!

XLR8 shot
around the corner. The closest witch to him was the one with
glasses. He sped towards her, hoping to drag her away, when he hit
something. There was cold laughter coming from what looked like an
iron statue. It moved, and he realized that he was grossly
outnumbered.

So,
little hero, think you that you can disrupt the rebirth of a god? I
think not!

As she
said this, the ground buckled and broke all around the cavern. A
crack expanded near the iron-clad woman. The crack was filled with
pure light. Strands of it arced up towards the iron woman. She
caught it in her hands.

Tonight
sees a god rebo-

She
stopped talking. The energy began to bleed through her left side,
arcing towards Selene. She licked her lips as the power bled into
her.

You
really thought I was doing this for you? With you as a channel for the leyline, Ill be invincible! Bow
down before Selene, new goddess of magic!

Blaise,
Gwen and the monster had rounded the corner just in time to hear
Selenes self-proclamation of divinity. Blaise flicked her hands,
shooting a fireball at Selene. She simply raised a finger, and the
fireball dissipated. The returning blast dissolved Blaise. This
is bad. Really bad. Before he could try anything else, the monster grabbed him by the
shoulder.

Boy and
girls must go now. I do what need be done to stop.

XLR8
grabbed Gwen and began running. While he was moving, he grabbed
Phoebe and Rachel. Selene was laughing, shooting bolts of eldritch
energy at anything that moved. She was so preoccupied with XLR8 that
she failed to notice the monster until it had gotten to Hecate. He
grabbed her and dove into the crevasse of light. That
got Selenes attention.

NO!

Before
she could say anything else, the cavern began to rain down on top of
her. She raised her hands and disappeared. XLR8 shot through the
underground labyrinth, dodging debris until they got to the surface. He dropped Phoebe and Rachel at the mouth of the cave and kept
running with Gwen until the Omnitrix timed out. They lay on the
grass for a minute, until Ben decided to break the silence.

So, no
telling Grandpa about this?

Sure. Id just as soon forget this whole thing ever happened. Wait,
whats that in your hand?

Ben held
it up. It was the crystal Selene had used on Gwen.

Give me
that! Its kind of mine anyway.

Sure. Too gaudy to keep as a souvenir. And remember, not a word to Grandpa
Max.

Im going away for a
couple of months, so I wont be able to write for a while. While
Im gone, Id like some input on the next couple stories. I have
Chapters 6, 7 and 8(Tech Wars, Lost and Mint Condition, respectively)
already lined up. What Id like you, the readers, to do is arrange
the three chapters after that. To help you do that, Ill give you
overviews on all three:

Godhead: A god has
awakened within one of Bens enemies. Can Ben stop this dark deity
from destroying the world, or will this be the end of the Earth as we
know it?

Hyde and Seek: Gwens
friend Janet(who we meet in Lost) is being tested for an experimental
serum that might let her walk again. However, a monster is
terrorizing the lab, and all fingers point to the project leader. What is his dark secret, and is the serum the key to the answers?

Through the Looking
Glass: When an extradimensional being comes after Gwen, its up to
Ben to stop it. And how better to stop it than to bring the beings
archenemy to help?

Also, Im having a
little trouble naming the swamp monster alien from Chapter 3. Just
cant figure out a name that sounds like Ben would have thought of
it. Pitch your ideas, and Ill choose one from the entries. Winner gets a thousand points. Please post all chapter arrangements
and alien names as reviews. Thanks in advance for all help given.
