61. Fairy Tale[/u]
Once upon a time, in a land far away that was called Omnitrix, lived a girl named Gwendolyn Tennyson. She was a vibrant young girl with hair that was kissed by the sun and eyes as green as a jade. She was also a smart young girl. As a child, her parents had died; so she had been sent to live with her grandmother, Verdona.
Verdona was what you would call crazy; but Gwen liked using the term eccentric when talking about her grandmother. Besides, who would dare be call the most powerful witch in Omnitrix a “crazy old bat”?
When Verdona had found out that Gwen had the spark, she had instantly started teaching her the craft of magic. At the age of fifteen, Gwen’s whole world of “normalcy” was about to change with the arrival of two people.
--
“Remember, get the Mediterranean seaweed, not the Red Sea seaweed,” Verdona reminded Gwen. “We wouldn’t want the seaweed to just float out of the pot once the other magical chemicals have touched it!”
Gwen nodded as she put on her dark blue cape like hood over her normal outfit which consisted of a light blue knee-length dress with a black belt hanging on the hips. Slipping on her shoes and sitting on her broom stick, she was off.
“Bye Grandma!” Gwen shouted as Verdona waved back, shouting something intelligible back. As she flew a little ways over the woods, she had reached the beach where she started to ascend. Once reaching the grainy surface, she walked toward the small hidden cove.
“Julie?! It’s me! Gwen!” The red head called, her voice echoing off the walls.
“Over here!” A familiar voice called. Walking through a small dark tunnel, Gwen found herself in a little cave like room, the water lit up making the room brighten slightly. The witch smiled when she saw her friend sitting on a rock examining what looked to be a music box.
“Hey Julie,” Gwen greeted toward her friend. Julie smiled, her pink tail sparkling. Julie was a curious mermaid, and was the known as the youngest princess. The Asian wore a white shell bikini halter top.
“Hey Gwen,” Julie greeted back. “So, the usual kind of seaweed?” She asked placing her human trinket down on a near bye rock.
“Yea,” Gwen nodded. Julie pushed herself off of the edge of the rock, she came back minutes later with her purple bag. Once Julie situated herself back in her position on the rock, she went rummaging through her bag. Taking out the package that contained the green vegetation and handed it to Gwen. The witch thanked the young mermaid and placed the small package in her pocket. Gwen than sat down as he and Julie started talking.
--
“So, what do you have there?” Gwen asked. Julie shrugged, “Found it when I was looking through an abandoned ship.” The Asian answered while inspecting it closely. Sighing, she placed the beautifully carved box inside her bag. After she grabbed her white dress and black ballet flats from her bag she set them aside for a moment.
Taking her fin out of the water, she placed a sterling silver chain necklace. The necklace was not an ordinary necklace, once every princess in Atlantis had reached the age of 14, they were given a necklace. Each princess chose their own design for the necklace; and Julie chose for hers to be a silver chain with a white shell with random swirls in no certain pattern, a silver like ornament that spelled out her full first name “Juliet” and a dangling white pearl.
Once Julie clasped the necklace around her neck, her fins eased into legs that were clad in pink leggings. Julie than put on her white dress over her shell bikini top and slipped on her ballet shoes, then she sat Indian style in front of Gwen, placing her elbows on top of her knees and placing her face on her closed fist, she looked Gwen in the eyes.
“So, what are you doing here? Usually Verdona doesn’t ask for more seaweed till the end of the month, did you run out already?” Julie questioned. Gwen sighed and leaned against the wall.
“I don’t know, she’s been like that for about a month now after she read some letter. She’s been a little more weirder than usual,” Gwen answered.
“Hmm, do you know who sent the letter?” Julie asked, brushing a strand of her long wet hair out of her face.
“Nope, she burned the letter once she was finished, than to make sure I didn’t use a spell to put the letter back together, she took the ashes and threw it in the river near by our cottage,” Gwen sighed bringing her legs close to her chest. Julie went to her knees and sat next to Gwen.
“Well, maybe she’s trying to protect you from something,” Julie reasoned. Gwen sent Julie a small smile.
“Yea, maybe that’s it, it would explain a few things,” Gwen whispered. Julie nodded happily.
“Anyway, why don‘t we leave this place and get some fresh air?” Julie suggested standing up, gabbing her purple bag and slinging it over her shoulders.
--
Verdona sighed as she sipped on her chamomile tea. This wasn’t very good she supposed. After all these years, she thought that she could hide from that vindictive wizard. Now, he had found her.
She wondered how he could have, she thought it would have most likely been thanks to that strange Morningstar boy who’s been flirting with her granddaughter for the past week. Or she could just hate that boy. Which she did. He was too weird, to put it nicely. She always sensed that he always had some secret motive to every thing he did.
Verdona placed her tea cup back on the table as she stood up. She instantly froze, something was in the vicinity. Five people, three were unknown and strong, one of them seemed to have dark scary energy. Two she sensed as Gwen and Julie. That’s when Verdona flew out of the house, she already knew that the dark energy was from that wizard Hex.
--
“Ah, don’t you just love fresh air, Julie?” Gwen asked as the wind blew through her hair.
“Yup,” Julie squealed as she closed her eyes. Both Gwen and Julie sat on Gwen’s broom stick which was flying back toward Verdona’s cottage. As they zoomed through the air, they chatted about small stuff and laughed half the way their.
As they were about to hit tree line, a black blast was sent toward them. Julie let out a small frightened scream as Gwen put up a violet shield that was destroyed when the blast hit her shield. Gwen grit her teeth together as she brought the broom down so they wouldn’t risk falling to their death.
Once both were in a clearing, Gwen’s broom minimized and was placed safely somewhere inside Julie’s messenger bag.
“Julie, go hide or run,” Gwen said her hands lighting up purple as she looked around at their surroundings, “Just get out of here! I can handle myself,” Gwen added hastily.
“No way! I’m not leaving you to be attacked by-by who ever just attacked us!” Julie whispered back. “Besides,” Julie grabbed a small knife from her bag. “I’m not unarmed.” Gwen sighed, but nodded. She also quietly thanked god that Julie was pretty good with a knife.
“So I see that you survived that fire I made,” A voice hissed behind them. Both girls turned around, Gwen’s hands lighting up and Julie stood in a stance and held the knife out in front of her. They saw a creepy looking man. His clothes consisted of mostly black with a few splashes of red. He was clutching on tightly to what looked like a hand carved wooden cane. His face was painted black and he had a white skull painted on his face.
“I thought you would have died with your parents, Gwendolyn,” The creepy man continued. Gwen glared at the old man.
“Who are you? How do you know my name?” Gwen demanded. The man just smiled creepily at them, Julie held her knife tighter.
“I see your lunatic of a grandmother hasn’t told you about me,” He said. Gwen restrained herself from attacking the old man.
“Answer my question,” Gwen growled. The man smirked to himself, glad that it easy to agitate her.
“I am Hex,” He introduced himself, giving a mocking bow. “I am surprised that neither you or Princess Juliet over there don’t know who I am.” Julie’s grip on the knife tightened.
“How do you know who I am?” Julie asked. Hex grinned.
“It’s easy to tell, mermaid, If I am to be ruler of this world, I should learn who is who in the magical world,” Hex explained.
“’Ruler of the world’?” Gwen repeated inquisitively, “You want to be ruler of the world?”
“I will be,” Hex said, his staff had taken on a black aurora. “Once I have taken every Wizard’s and Witch’s powers.” He sent several strong blasts towards the girls which they avoided thanks to Gwen’s shield.
“Why do people just want to fight you instead of talking it out?” Julie asked once the shield was gone. Gwen shrugged as she blocked an on slaughter of black beams. Julie screamed when she saw a vine come toward her, before it hit her face.
“It’s a family thing,” Gwen answered before Julie was suddenly picked up by a tree root causing her to drop her knife.
“Let me go!” She screamed as she struggled against the root; only for the root to squeeze tighter.
“Julie!” Gwen exclaimed.
“Relinquish your powers or I’ll squeeze your little fish friend to death,” Hex threatened, Julie let out a short scream as the roots made it harder to breathe.
--
“Did you hear that?” Kevin asked as they heard Julie‘s scream. Kevin was a large teen, well, it did help when your dad is ¼ ogre. With hair as dark as night and deep brown eyes with a muscular physic, he was handsome. His friend Ben nodded.
“I’m afraid so,” His friend said. Ben wasn’t as tall as Kevin, he was a lithe young man with light brown hair and deep green eyes. Kevin grunted, “We need to hurry.” Ben nodded and Ben’s green and black magic carpet moved faster as they went in the direction of the scream.
--
Julie had ceased her struggling, not wanting to inflict more pain on herself. As she dangled in mid-air she watched the scene below her. Both Hex and Gwen were glaring at one another as they circled around the vine holding her up. To her, it looked like two sharks fighting over some pray; each daring the other to attack first.
“You let Julie go, and I don’t give you my powers,” Gwen said. Hex snorted.
“That isn’t going to work, Gwendolyn,” He hissed. “I could care less for your little fish friend up there, what I want is your powers.” Gwen gritted her teeth, what would a person do in this kind of situation? Before she could think of a way out of this crux, a green light had flashed above them and the vine was frozen on the ground. In the air, a blue moth like creature had appeared and was holding Julie in his arms.
Gwen smiled, even though she didn’t know what kind of creature that was, she knew who it was by the symbol that could be seen clearly on his chest.
“Tennyson! How dare you interrupt my meeting with your cousin,” Hex yelled. The blue creature flew down as a green light covered both he and Julie to reveal Ben holding Julie bridal style.
“Hey Gwen, long time no see?” Ben greeted. Gwen smiled widely at him. “Nice to see you Ben,” She greeted back.
“Um, not hoping to interrupt this reunion, but, could you put me down now?” Julie asked a little flustered. Ben blushed and placed Julie down.
“Uh, sorry- um-” Ben apologized, not really sure who she was.
“Julie,” The mermaid filled in. Ben smiled and nodded, “Ben.” Just than, a black beam almost hit Julie if Ben didn’t pull her out of the way.
“Did you forget about me?” Hex asked, his staff glowing with a bright aurora. “So,” The wizard started as he stepped toward the three. “Who am I battling first?” Ben pointed up toward the sky.
“Him,” Ben answered. A shadow fell over Hex, as the wizard looked up, he was greeted with a fist to the face from a wooden Kevin. The force of the punch caused Hex to slid back hitting a tree.
“Dude, you just ditched me on your carpet,” Kevin claimed. Ben scratched the back of his neck nervously; “Sorry,” Ben apologized. Kevin shrugged.
“What can I do about it?” Kevin remarked, his gaze turned toward the two girls.
“Who are they? I remember Gwen, but who’s the other girl? You’re new girlfriend?” Kevin asked Ben, smirking as he saw both Ben and Julie blush furiously. Gwen rolled her eyes.
“Still the same old Kevin I see,” She remarked. Kevin held his hands up in defense; “Why change perfection?” He arrogantly said. Gwen rolled her eyes and Kevin’s typical attitude. Both whipped their heads toward Ben and Julie when they heard them yelp in surprise to meet the view of Ben and Julie being held upside down by two vines wrapped around their waists.
“I believe that it’s rude to turn your back on a visitor,” Hex replied nonchalantly as he flicked his cane upward sending Julie and Ben flying. Ben reached out and grabbed Julie around the waist as they went flying back toward the Earth somewhere a few yards away, before they were out of view, they were able to see a green flash.
Gwen growled at Hex’s actions and she started shooting violet rays at him; “How dare you do that!” She cried as she continued to send violet beams at him, even after that on slaughter, Hex had managed to receive only a few cuts and swelling bruises. He sent a few huge stones toward Gwen; as she blasted them away, she looked over to see Hex getting beaten by Kevin.
Kevin punched Hex right in the gut, causing him to barrel over. Hex held up a hand in defense; “I give up,” Hex declared. Kevin wasn’t about to let Hex away that easy, just as the raven haired boy was about to send another left hook, Gwen used her magic to stop Kevin from attacking him.
“He gave up,” Gwen said. Kevin gave Gwen a hard look before he sighed and unclenched his fist. Just as the witch released Kevin‘s hand, both teens were pinned next to each other by tree branches.
“Should’ve just punched him,” Kevin muttered. Hex levitated toward them, the aurora around his cane turned from black to orange.
“Since you won’t willingly give me your powers, I guess I have to take them by force,” Hex hissed lifting his cane up. Before anything else could happen, a familiar dagger flew through the air, hitting the cane causing it to fall out of his hand.
“Nice aim,” Ben commented in some blue monkey creature, Julie flexed her wrist; “You should see me when I have a Frisbee,” she replied.
“How dare you do that you!” Hex boomed as his cane flew back obediently to him. He aimed his cane at Julie; the aurora around his cane turned back to black. “For that, I’ll turn you into fish meat!” A huge black blast was about to hit Julie, Ben pushed her out of the way just in time for the blast to miss and destroy the tree behind them, turning it to ash.
“How dare you attack my grandchildren and their friends!” Verdona yelled appearing from a puff of smoke. “And who are you calling a lunatic?!” She added before she made both of them disappear in a bright violet light.
“Where’d they go?” Kevin asked as he ripped out of his binds. Gwen shrugged as she blasted the branches away.
“Don’t know, but if Grandma left with that guy, I don’t think I want to know what she’s doing to him,” Gwen answered as Ben and Julie walked over toward them.
“So, weren’t we heading toward your place?” Julie asked. “Why don’t um- Ben and Kevin come over?”
Gwen shrugged, “Sure, why not?”
--
In Gwen and Verdona’s cottage; Ben, Gwen, and Kevin sat in the family room. Gwen and Kevin sitting on the same coach, while Ben sat on the coach across from it. They talked as Julie was getting some cookies.
“You’ve been fighting creeps like Hex for years?” Gwen asked. Ben and Kevin shared a look before nodding.
“More than you know,” Ben said. “It’s been getting harder to fight Hex since he’s absorbed different wizard’s and witch’s powers, he’s been getting harder to beat.”
“That mad man has actually succeeded in sucking other’s magic?” Julie asked as she plopped down on the coach next to Ben placing the chocolate chip cookies on the coffee table sitting in the middle between the two couches.
“Yea, and it isn’t a pretty sight to see them after their powers were sucked out of them,” Kevin answered while Ben ate some cookies.
“If that’s the case, I want to help,” Gwen stated. “I don’t want that crazy man taking over the world because all the witches and wizards have been rendered powerless.” As Julie was about to say something similar, Gwen interrupted her. “Julie, you’re not helping.”
“What?!” Julie exclaimed. “And why the heck not?” Gwen sighed and brought his head down to her hand and massaged her forehead.
“Look Julie, I don’t want you getting hurt, I already lost my parents because they didn’t have any magic powers, I really don’t plan on losing you,” Gwen said. Julie sighed as sat back on the couch.
“Fine, but I will help occasionally, you can’t stop me from at least helping,” Julie compromised. Gwen sighed, “Deal.” This was probably the most compromise Julie would go and Gwen knew it. Kevin smirked.
“So we now have two new members to the team,” Ben said, “Glad you’ll help!”

A/N: Please tell me what you think, and personally, I don't really like the scene when they're in the cottage.

26. Tears“Hey,” Ben 10,000 greeted sullenly, placing the bouquet of roses and lilies on the grave plot. Ben sat down Indian style next to the plot. “I said I would visit, didn’t I?” Ben asked caressing the cool marble. “Everyone’s doing great. Kevin and Gwen had another wedding the other day,” Ben said. “This time publicly, so I now know that they’re officially Mr. and Mrs. Levin.” Ben let out a chuckle at that, tears threatening to spill out as the dark sky started to thunder slightly. “Maxy is all grown up now,” Ben remarked. “He got his badge last week and he hasn’t stopped smiling.” Ben looked down for a moment, his bangs covering his eyes. “He looks exactly like you, you know. The only difference is that he inherited my nose and smile. Besides that, he looks like you.” Ben looked up at the head stone with a small smile. He placed his forehead against the cool marble. “I miss you,” Ben said. “I miss your touch and everything.” Silence followed for a short moment before Ben started talking about something else. “I know you probably already know that Kenny and Gwendolyn II exist. You also probably now that Kai and I never really did love each other. It was just a marriage of need. She wanted to marry ‘the hero of heroes’ and I needed someone to save me from my depression.” Ben sighed. “Well, off that subject, Kenny hasn’t ever been the same since Devlin and Amber fell in love. I don’t know what to tell him, I talked to him, but,” he trailed off. Just than, his omnitrix started beeping. “Ben!” Gwendolyn shouted. “The Forever Knights are attacking the base and- Devlin! Kevin! Duck!- We could use some help Ben!” “Consider me there,” Ben said as he stood up and smiled sadly as tears fell down his face. His lips lightly brushed the tomb stone and he then transformed into Big Chill and flew off toward his base. A translucent woman peaked behind a tree and smiled, her dark brown eyes were watching Ben’s disappearing form. Her black hair reached her back and she was wearing pink pajamas. She closed her eyes as she disappeared from sight. On the tomb stone it said: “Julie Yamamoto-Tennyson
(1994-2015)
Loving Wife,
Caring Mother,
Great Friend,
She will be missed greatly.” ---------- A/N: This one was short and kind of (more like REALLY) cliched. Nya~ I like the one before the best. ~Alexa

I liked them. The first one was an interesting tale. I noticed a couple of grammar errors, but nothing too distracting from the story.
The second one was wonderful. Sad, but sweet. I enjoyed it.

Whoopsie, didn't review the first one! *laughs* Anyways, I love it. Fairytale creatures are awesome. I like it, and I really hope you have another theme that lets you continue the story, cause I want to see where you go with it.
