Fanfiction Meltdown Part 6

"A STALKER?"

"Big Chill!" Ben proclaimed. "Now… let's see how this guy takes- the cooold."

Big chill makes a few twists and turns around Rip-mantis. Dodging the blows the large alien was trying to inflict onto our hero. Kevin was struggling to keep up with the over sized reptile, and was truly relieved to see that Ben had finally joined him in this little 'battle' of theirs.

"Bout time you showed up!" Kevin yelled up to his teammate.

Big Chill just merely dodged another blow. "Hey, forgive me for being knocked out, Kevin." He hissed. "It kind of puts a strain on helping you, don't you think?"

The osmosian rams his makeshift hammer into the gut of Rip-mantis, the alien keels over in pain. Shrieking an ear piercing howl.

"Yeah? Well, that's really not whats important right now!" He slams into the large alien once more. "We need to beat this guy and find Gwen! Remember?!"

The dark blue alien nods in agreement, and takes in a deep breath, then, letting go of the recent intake of air, Big Chill then blows his icey cool breath onto Rip-mantis.

"Youuu cannot deffeeeeat meeee!" Rip-Mantis howled, as the cool air hit his skin.

Just as the alien hissed out his threat. Ice quickly began to build, starting from his feet, then up onto his torso. Climbing at maximum speeds, all the way onto his scaly head, until Rip-mantis was completely covered in ice. Ben was right. That alien did not do well with the cold.

Seeing the alien's body was about to expand from the coolness of the ice, Kevin gives out a warning to Ben. "Heads up! I think this creeps' gonna explode!"

Big Chill, with massive speed, heads to the highest peak of the tunnel. Kevin swiftly jumps behind one of the large boulders just beyond the frozen Rip-mantis.

"BOOM, CRACKLE, CRASH!!!!!"

Rip-mantis, was finally no more. But upon the explosion of ice, and pieces of frozen alien, it imploded a hole onto the nearby wall. It seemed to show, yet another dark hidden walk way.

"Hey, Tennyson!" Kevin yelled up to his friend once more, pointing to the newly found tunnel.

"Yes, I see it." Big Chill glides down to his comrade.  "Shall we take a look?"

"Yeah." Kevin furrows his brow. "Maybe we'll find Gwen in there. Right now, it's all we have to finding her."

***************************************

Gwen's feet began to shake from the unexpected wall, just a few yards from where she was hiding, when it unexpectantly exploded around her. The girls eyes widen with fear, and she quickly hugged the cold rock next to her. Trying hard to keep her balance.

"What now?" The red head groans.

Gwen suddendly noticed two dark figures coming from the dust that hung heavily in the air. Mana in the ready, to take down the threat just a head of her. She wasn't going down with out a fight.

That is, until she heard them yelling out her name…

"Gwen?! You in here?!"

Gwen had recognized the familiar husky deep voice, and smiled. She ran up to the two with out hesitation.

"Kevin, Ben?! I'm alright! I'm here!" She exlaimed, almost tripping over her own to feet in excitement.

Kevin saw Gwen running towards them, and smiled. Very relieved to know, that Norm hadn't gotten to her first. The couple embrace.

"I'm so glad you guys are alright!" Gwen smiled, as she fell into Kevin's broad chest, happy to know that her two boys were safe and sound.

With out hesitation, Kevin wraps his arms around the red head and holds on tight. He wasn't going to let her out of his sight, not until this was all over.

"Hey, it was nothin' we couldn't handle." Kevin smirks at his friend. "Right, Ben?"

"Ugh… Right…" Ben reluctantly agrees, as he rolls his eyes, and does his signature stomach grip. "So, can we just skip the making out part, and find this Norm guy? I mean, I haven't ate anything since we left. And I'm not a fan of dry heaving. Hurts to much."

Kevin just chuckles, while Gwen twists her face in disgust.

"Ben? That- was disgusting."

"Yeah? So is your guys' sucking face. But you don't hear me complaining." He groans.

Kevin glares back at the young hero. "I'm not pointin' fingers or anything, but... I'm thinkin' you just did."

Before the boys could start their normal bickering, Gwen put all the stops to it, right then and there. As of now, dealing with Norm, and the whole Fanfiction thing, was most important right now. Seeings how they were finally together as a team again.

"Guys!" The red head glares at the two in annoyance. "This isn't relevant! Seriously, Just stop!" She heavily sighs. "I know where Norm is. And… I also know- who he is."

Kevin and Ben stare at the girl in shock. All of a sudden, a light bulb bursts into the young hero's head, and knowingly smirks at Gwen.

"So… Is this Norm guy, Norm Heffernen?" He says, trying so hard not to laugh at his assumptions. "The geeky stalker guy from your prep school?! Oh man! This is classic!"

As the hero continues his laughter, Kevin's attitude slowly turns sour. Gwen had a stalker? Since when?

"Hold up." Kevin ignores Ben for a moment, and turns to the red head next to him. "You, had a stalker? And you didn't say anything?!"

"Had?" Ben chuckled. "More like still! This guy has had a thing for her since the third grade."

Kevin lowers his brow at the hero boy. "This isn't funny, Ben. This is serious!" He brings his attention back on Gwen. "I ask again, Gwen. Why didn't you say anything to me about this kid?"

The red head defends herself. She wasn't going to let Kevin get to her. Not now.

"He wasn't a threat at the time!" Gwen explained, as she folded her arms in a tantrum like huff. "He was just some geeky kid with a harmless crush! How was I supposed to know he would turn all psycho on us?!"

Kevin just shakes his head in disappointment. He thought Gwen of all people, would trust him enough to deal with this properly. But now, this Norm guy had gone to far. Norm had ruined their private lives on allowing the public to publish these nonsense stories about them. But at the same time, sort of also understood why Gwen did what she did. She could handle herself. But things with Heffernen went south. Now they had to personally deal with the nerd from her fancy prep school.

"Come on." Ben said, laying a hand on his cousin's shoulder. Trying his hardest to clear the heavyness in the air. "Arguing back in forth with each other, isn't solving anything. We need to stay focused and bring Norm down together, as a team."

Gwen turns to Ben and Kevin, and smiles. Kevin did the same. The young hero was right. It was time to take out the trash. Said trash, being the creepy geek stalker guy, Norm Heffernen.

"Ok. I'll show you where he's hiding." Gwen said, as she pointed down the tunnel. "It's just around the bend, ahead of us."

Gwen starts walking down the dark tunnel. Leading the way again, with her hand aglow. Kevin was watching her like a hawk, with out trying to make it seem too obvious.

Too late. His big mouth got the best of him.

"Just stay away from any man eating walls... Ok, Gwen?"

Gwen just grins back at the boy. She knew how much he cared about her. Even though he rarely showed it.

Most of the time.

They were reaching the secluded room that the red head discovered earlier. She holds her hand up to stop the boys in mid stride. Keeping her voice low, she turns to her teammates.

"Ok, guys. This is it. This is the room that is holding all Norms computer technology, and, well- Norm.

Kevin absorbs the rock next to him, and brings a dark grin upon his face. He was going to enjoy every second of every minute pounding the little twirp into tiny, tiny, little pieces.

Ben breaks Kevin's thoughts of what he was going to do to the nerd. Seeing the older boy's slight jump into action, the hero lays a hand on Kevin's shoulder.

"We just can't go in there with out a plan, Kevin."

"Why not? This Norm guy needs a good poundin!"

"Fine." Ben sighs, Knowing that arguing with Kevin at the moment was just pointless.

Ben hovers his hand over the ultimatrix. Green light engulfing the air once again.

"RATH!" The tiger turns to Kevin. ALRIGHT LEVIN! LETS GO BEAT THIS GEEK BOY INTO THE GROUND! RATH NEEDS TO DO SOME SERIOUS BUTT KICKEN!"

"I knew you'd see it my way, Tennyson." Kevin sinisterly grins.

Ben and Kevin start to run into the adjacent room. Gwen, on the other hand rolls her eyes at the two running morons.

"Ugh… Boys…" She groaned to herself.

Reluctantly, she follows close behind. Already knowing what they were up against. It was going to be too easy. She figured they'd be home just in time for dinner. Norm, was just a glorified moron. That's all. An easy take down. It was simple.

Then she realized, that Kevin- might infact kill him.

"Oh, crap." Gwen gasped.

The girl picked up her pace. Not only did they need to take Norm down, but she also needed to protect him.

From Kevin….
