Ben 10 Porn Story: Only a Mother Could Love Chapter 5

Sorry it took so long. I had writers block, and then this huge English project that demanded all my attention. D: At least I got it done eventually. This chapter is proof that I suck at third person. But 1st I’m good at. (See the very end for an example.)

Disclaimer: I don’t own Ben 10 Alien Force, or any of the characters but Nicky, yada yada blah blah blah.

Gwen first glanced over at me. Nicky? Her tone was full of confusion, but her face made it pretty obvious she wasnt too glad to see me. She turned to V and confirmed all my fears in one word: Grandma?

Kiddo! Verdona shouted, attacking her with a hug that would make a boa constrictor cry for mommy. She just took it, her face twisted into a pained half-smile.

Hey, Verdona, she grunted. I bit my bottom lip, suppressing laughter. By the time they separated, I had already buckled over a bit and snorted. She blushed and pulled me off to the side.

Sorry about my grandma, she whispered. She can be a little

Eccentric? I guessed. Impulsive? Psychotic?

Yeah. That.

I made one of those split second decisions to tell her. Why didnt you tell me your grandma was V?

I have no idea how she kept herself from passing out right then and there.

Verdona invited herself in, throwing herself on the dark red couch.

May I come in? I asked Gwen quite loudly, eyeing Verdona. She nodded with a blank face; I wasnt sure she knew what I said. I entered, turned around, exited, grabbed her by the wrist, and dragged her inside, and sat both of us next to Verdona.

So let me get this straight, she stammered, her voice high in panic. You, Nicky, my best friend, were best friends with Verdona, my grandma, in a past life?

Yep, we said simultaneously.

She cupped her face in her hands. This cannot be happening, she groaned weakly. I finally realized that my now known old identity was clouding my judgment. How could I not predict telling her all this would make her feel like crap? I find out this totally insane, and possibly life-changing connection between us, and I threw it out there without any regard for her feelings. I felt like a total jerk.

Verdona switched places so she was next to her and put her arm around her neck. Come on, Gwendolyn, its not that odd, she said. Its been proven that beings who have direct contact with an Anodite are twice as likely to remember something of their past life. I was with her in total more than anyone else in the universe- I was positive she would remember something.

But its not just that! she cried out into her hands. She looked up at me, looking very stricken and uneasy. Its about your Uh, er She restarted. Its about Vilgax.

I nodded.

She winced, like she wanted me to say something else. Maybe I dont need to know, so dont tell me. Well, you see When I was ten, I went on this road trip with Ben and Grandpa Max, and Ben found this thing called the Omnitrix. It was that thing Vilgax wanted in Demise, but I didnt know what exactly it was.

Its this alien device that lets him turn into a bunch of different aliens superheroes, she continued. He was all those heroes on the news back then. Vilgax came to Earth and tried to get it from us, but

You beat him up? I guessed.

Well, yeah, we beat him up a few times. And trashed his robots on a daily basis. And threw him in the Null Void, which is this- Before she could define it, I nodded to her. I knew what that was. She looked away and continued. And then Ben threw him in space after he got out of that She sounded more and more guilty with each word.

I put my hand on her shoulder. Dont worry about it, Gwen, I giggled. Actually, thanks for doing all that. You and Ben gave him the punishment he deserves that I never would have the guts to dish out. His robots killed millions of innocents, hes blown up at least five planets by now and enslaved more, and he murdered his own mother. I think he had all that coming. That wasnt the complete truth. Even as I spoke, I kept feeling little pangs of sadness from all that happening to my baby. But the logic I spurted out made it better.

She looked a bit relieved, but confused too. So you know about all of that, and the Null Void Does that mean you remember everything?

Only the parts that V was in, I replied. She dug them out with mana. I glanced over at Verdona to she how she was doing. She was just sitting there, waiting patiently for me to finish. She never showed this much self-control; I figured it was a side effect of parenting. But then I saw what she was doing, and realized she wasnt controlling herself at all.

So you know what mana is, she sighed with relief.

Now you dont have to explain what youre going to shoot from your hands, I predicted. But I replied, enough to know that Vs possessing your bros hamster.

She whirled around, her expression filled with so much fake surprise I had to suppress a chuckle. I am not! she gasped.

I pointed to the hamster cage, where the black and white ball of fur stared at us, its eyes glowing bright pink.

Gwen made some confused noises. Grandma! she finally shouted. Let him go!

Verdona gave in and snapped her finger. It collapsed on the floor of the cage, snoring softly.

So, do you have anything else to tell me, I urged.

Well, Im the only one in my family who inherited Anodite powers, she admitted.

Ouch. Thats cool. And sucky.

Yeah. Anyway, I think you better go. Ben and Kevin are going to be here at nine.

I looked at the clock. 9:01. I tapped Gwen on the shoulder and pointed. She, in return, panicked. But just as she stood up, the door swung open and the boys invited themselves in.

Hey Gwen, hows the pack- Kevin stopped mid sentence when he saw them all on the couch. Why are you here? he said suddenly, looking at Verdona. Then he turned to me. And who the heck are you?

Whats going on? Ben asked from the doorway, where he was trying to get his coat untangled for the doorknob (how he managed to get it tangled, Ill never know). He finally did it and turned around, noticing the ladies for the first time. Whoa, Nicky? Verdona? Whats going on?

So, youre Nicky, Kevin said to me.

And youre Kevin.

He nodded. I nodded. We both looked at Gwen. She still looked really frazzled, like she almost got run over by a truck. His lip twitched.

Gwen, are you okay? Ben asked, not even trying to hide his worry.

Yeah, Im fine, she replied. Kind of, she added, under her breath.

Could someone tell me why you guys are here? Kevin asked.

I came to teach Gwen a few mana tricks before she left, Verdona answered, without appearing to give any thought to the fact I was in the room. Gwen gaped at her and made an exasperated sound. I couldnt tell if she was acting or not.

Either way, I started to. I glanced at Verdona, looking confused and uncomfortable, then turned back to the boys. Ben was doing the same thing as Gwen, but Kevin was glaring at her.

Maybe its best if I leave you guys alone, I said hesitantly, standing up. Besides, I have to buy a few things. No one argued as I made a beeline for the door and walked outside. I wasnt sure, but they might have looked a bit relieved.

I continued down the walkway, but I stopped at the end. Why was I leaving? That was all supposed to be an act. It was an act. There was more I wanted to know, even needed to know, and I wasnt about to loose this chance. In seconds, I was crouched outside the window, peeking out from behind a tree, snooping.

Heres the deal, Kevin said, laying a map down on the coffee table. As he spoke, he pointed to the location on the map. Were here in Bellwood. Cooper lives that way, and the ships going to pick us up way over here.

Whos picking us up? Gwen interrupted.

Were getting to that. Anyway, the tech Coopers whipping up wont be ready in time for us to get to the ship from his house in my car.

I could Jetray-

Not gonna work, he cut Ben off. Jetray cant carry it all.

Ship? she suggested.

Nah, Ben said. Knowing Julie, shell want to come with us. I dont think I can turn that down a second time.

Verdona jumped into the conversation. Gwenll do it!

Three heads turn to her. What? Gwen shouted.

Come on, Gwen, its a great training exercise! she argued. I would have killed to do something like this when I was your age. Besides, Ill watch you and give you advice the whole time.

She didnt believe that, but she gave in. Fine. Ill get an early start, go pick the tech up from Cooper, and well rendezvous at the landing site.

Ben and Kevin glanced at each other, thinking the same thing. Gwen and Cooper, alone, in Coopers lab Well, Verdona might be there, but shell probably encourage the situation. Kevin was about to shout out in protest, but Ben put his hand on his shoulder and gave him a Dude, we dont a choice look.

So, whos flying us, anyway? Gwen asked after a few seconds of awkward silence.

Azmuth hooked us up with a Petrosapian, Kevin replied. He was really eager to give us a ride. Calls himself Tetrax Shard.

The cousins exchanged a giddy smile. He frowned, confused.

You dont know him, do you? Ben said.

Nope.

Hes a bounty hunter we ran into a few times when we were ten, he explained. Hes a great guy. He helped us out when the Omnitrix was on self-destruct. And his pilot Gluto saved Gwens life when she almost got eaten by Wildvines.

(At that moment, Verdona hoisted herself up and silently excused herself to the bathroom. No one noticed.)

Kevin nodded. Anyway, I know this is short notice, but were leaving tomorrow night.

Gwen gaped at him. Tomorrow? Seriously? We dont even have someone to take our place! She didnt say it, but she was worried about Nicky. What if Vilgax detoured and came to Earth? She was afraid of how he would react to finding out that his mom was reincarnated as an Earthling girl and was best friends with his arch enemys cousin. Knowing him, he would probably kill her.

Thats where youre wrong, he replied. I already talked to Helen and Manny. Weve already got Alan and robot boy.

And Julie! Ben added.

And Julie. Unless some alien empire decides to blow up Earth while were gone, Id say were set.

Well meet tomorrow at noon, Gwen decided. Kevins place.

Well, now that you three are done, theres no reason for the boys to stay here, Verdona said, seeming to pop out of nowhere. Run along now.

Ben and Kevin obeyed, exiting without a word. They didnt want to mess with an Anodite. No one ever does.

Come on, Gwendolyn. She wrapped her arm around her granddaughters neck and led her to the back door. Weve got some training to do.

I trudged down the sidewalk, a bag of paper plates from Gwens kitchen in hand. V gave them to me while she was going to the bathroom, which really meant walking into the kitchen, grabbing some plates, teleporting outside, talking to me, and poofing back in like nothing happened. Im surprised they didnt notice, especially since Anodites constantly emit waste through their skin. Thank God that waste is just old mana, or she would have been way less popular in high school than she was.

I looked at my watch. 9:15. The party was going to start in thirty minutes. Mom was going to kill me for being out that late. Ill just tell her I met up with an old friend on the way. Then I would have to lie.

What kind of twisted mother would let their seven-year-old son have a party at this hour? I thought, trying to distract myself. But my mind was still on what V told me to do.

It was insane. It was immature. It was crazy dangerous. It was the stupidest idea I had ever heard. Every rational part of my brain was screaming not to do it. But I was done with rational. Rational was boring.

I was going to do it.

And I was pumped.
