Hello my fellow BenXGwen fans. I apologize for being so late. BTW, I've now established my beta reader profile, if anybody would care to work with me on a new story, my plot or yours I'd be more than welcome. This is my latest chapter hope you like it. - Omnimatrix

Gwen felt the energy being sucked right out of her, not because of her magic, but her cold was still affecting her motor skills a little. She threw a combo barrage of punches and kicks at the orb sealing her inside but to no avail. "Just give it up won't you girl?" Charmcaster asked annoyed. Knowing that she couldn't be seen, Gwen threw faces at her. She then quickly fell to her knees, she was losing more of her energy.

Gwen groaned in pain as she felt more of her life being sucked right outta her. She was in too much pain to speak. Charmcaster noticed her other part of the plan was coming to fruition. "I said that I wanted something from you didn't I?" she replied as she walked over to the 10 year old red head. "Not only does this orb block your magic, but it also drains your energy. If Ben doesn't show up soon, then there may not be too much left for him to save." She cackled evilly. Gwen was losing her energy gradually, as she finally took her last breath she collapsed onto the magic floor surface and was in a coma.

Ben was standing in the RV, reviewing the floor plans of the building Grandpa gave him. As he thought about which alien to use while dialing the omnitrix, he felt his heart sink and an extreme shock came to his heart and his head. Max heard the thud and put the Rustbucket on autopilot. He ran back to Ben and asked what was wrong. "Gwen..." he muttered. "What?" he asked trying to make out the word. "It's Gwen, Charmcaster's doing something to her. It's sucking her life away. We gotta get there now or we might be too late!" he stated pleadingly.

Max nodded in agreement, he ran back to the seat and flipped and clicked various buttons all over the dashboard of the RV. Within seconds, the RV was traveling about as fast as a race car. Ben felt his entire face push up against itself. Max watched as the roads and signs flashed by. Ben had the most serious of faces on his at the moment. I'm coming for you, Gwen. Just hold on a little bit, Charmcaster will pay for this. While this thought ran through his mind his fists again gripped with anger.

Max mad a jerking stop as Ben flew at least 3 feet to the front of the Rustbucket. THUD, Max turned around... "We're here." Ben threw his head off the floor, "Ok, OOOWWW!" he yelled. Then he regained his composure and made his way towards the building. Max opened a stored weapon from the glove compartment for himself. "Are you ready, we need to expect the worst." Ben nodded, reaching for the omnitrix and dialed Fourarms. Once he slammed the plunger down, he was replaced with the form of Diamondhead. As Max ran out the RV, he heard behind him Ben's trademark "AWW MAAANN!" in Diamondhead's deep voice.

Charmcaster was setting the stage for taking the omnitrix from the young 10 year old. As well as take Gwen's powers from her. "Almost there" she muttered to herself. She tightened the bolts on the device and was just waiting for Ben's dramatic entrance. Unfortunately for her, it never came. "What's with this? Ben should've made his oh so dramatic entrance a while ago." As if on cue, Diamondhead shot 6 shards into the door breaking it to dust. Max followed suit blasting all over the place. Charmcaster got caught with one shot and fell directly to the ground.

Diamondhead shoots his hand into the ground, within seconds Charmcaster is restricted from using any of her magic. While struggling for escape Ben lifted up the prison and brought it in mid air. "Now..." he began. He morphed his hand into a reflective sword that she could see her face in. "Where is Gwen?"

Charmcaster only sneered. "Please, I know you Ben. You don't have what it takes to kill me." Ben was angered again and this time brought it right to her throat. Extending so even the slightest wrong turn of the blade would have her dead. "She's over there. But I know she has very little energy left." Diamondhead turned her over to Grandpa as he ran to the orb.

He tried to break it, but he learned over a while that you can't break magic. Underneath was a machine which appeared to be holding the orb in its place. He tapped the orb to check Gwen's consciousness. "Gwen?" No response, Gwen didn't move at all. "GWEEN!" he yelled. Still no response. He leaned down and smashed the energy maintainer into junk. The protection field then disappeared. Gwen dropped and Ben caught her.

The watch timed out and all 4 of them were blinded by the red. Ben returned to his human form still holding Gwen in his arms, bridal style. He walked a few steps then collapsed to his knees. He put a hand threw Gwen's red hair. She can't be gone, I know she's not. "Gwen, Please. Please, come back to me." Max walked over, cuffing Charmcaster before he even moves a muscle. "Can't do spells if you can't use your hands." he said smug.

"BEN!" he yelled as he ran over. He looked down at Gwen's now pale looking face. Max placed his hand on Ben's shoulder and tried comforting Ben. "Ben..." he started out. Unsure what to say to the boy as of yet. In his frustration Ben slapped away the hand of his Grandfather. "NO!" he protested. "She can't be gone. There has to be a way out of this." Ben carefully placed her down while examining every possible way to make it work.

There's only 2 ways to get her back. I either need to get some of the energy from the omnitrix, but that's a machine I can't give it to her. Or... yes that'll work. Ben had his great epiphany and gave his idea to Grandpa Max. "Grandpa, I need to give Gwen some of my energy." Max knew what he was talking about but was still confused. "Ben I admire your optimism, but how are you going to give it to her?" "Gwen's going to have to take it from me."

Ben put one of Gwen's hands onto his chest. He leaned into her ear as he brought her body close to his. "Gwen, if you can hear me at all, I need you to take some of my energy." He tried to prop her up. He whispered in one more thing. "Please Gwen, you're the most important thing I have in this world. Don't leave me." Ben broke down in tears.

He felt utterly defeated by the hands of fate. He broke down in tears, NOOO! This can't be this should have worked. I don't know what the problem is. Suddenly, Ben felt extremely weak and dropped to the ground next to Gwen. Her skin began to get it's complexion, and she began breathing again. In a big gasp, Gwen looked around to see where she was. She saw Ben being slightly drained and realized what he gave up for her.

Quickly, Gwen reached her hand back as she had gained all her energy or at least enough to function. "BEN!" she yelled at him. He moved dazed, waking to Gwen's face on top of his. "It worked? It worked! Gwen." he hugged her as tightly as his arms would allow. "Uh, Ben?" Ben looked slightly up. "I know you're happy I'm back, but I need to breath." Ben chuckled and let her down from his grasp gently.

He kissed her passionately, she kissed back overjoyed. "Ben you should know me, I'm not willing to leave without trying all I can to stay."
