The Metal Bat Cousin

Lucky Girl

Museum No POV

The Tennysons were in a museum as Wade was trying really hard not to fall asleep.

Docent: and behind this impenetrable glass is the recently discovered and only known existing copy of the Arkamada book of spells.

Gwen and Docent: it contains ancient witchcraft and rituals from the late 1600s.

Gwen did it in her know-it-all look as the Docent glared at her.

Docent: maybe you should work here, dear. <walks away>

Gwen felt sad and slight embarrassed at that.

Ben: don't let mummy-face get to you. She's probably older than that spell book. <makes a funny face and crosses his arms like a mummy>

Gwen:<laughs>

Wade:<yawns> this is so boring. Couldn't we do something that was actually fun?

A rumbling started happening as everyone started to levitate all the way to the roof.

Max: something tells me this isn't on the tour.

Gwen: is this enough excitement for you?

Wade: a little, yeah.

Some red smoke came from a diamond shaped window as a man with black robe that had red highlights, skull tattoo on the his face, and wielding a staff that the head was a weird bird head. He had some charms around his neck and chest. His name was Hex.

Hex; the Arkamada Book of Spells. All of its power shall soon be mine. <a charm glows> Fah-me-doof!

The glass breaks as Ben goes for his Omnitrix as Hex grabbed the book.

Ben; now might be a good time to go... hero- oh!

Everyone fell as Ben turned into XLR8 as he ran and got a tapestry he used as a net to catch everyone and let them slide down.

Ben: everyone out.

Max: Ben, be careful. You don't know what tricks he's got up his sleeve. Same goes for you, Wade.

Wade: <turns his watch into a bat> or lack of sleeves.

Ben: dude, you want a book, try the library.

Wade saw one of Hex's charms glow as he pointed his staff at them.

Hex: Bethi-mordor-natta!

Hex fired a wave of flames into the tapestry burning it as Wade jumped out of the way as Ben ran up a wall to avoid the flames as Hex fired some red crystals that Ben dodged as Wade ran over and bashed Hex away as Hex got up and saw both Ben and Wade running at him so he used a light spell to blind them as Ben slipped and crashed into Wade making them both crash into some exhibits as then two trash cans hit Hex as he turned around to see Max and Gwen.

Gwen; guess we got his attention.

Max: kind of wish we hadn't.

Hex just widened his eyes sending Max and Gwen away as he turns around to see Wade run at him as he turned his bat into a brass knuckle and punched Hex in the face before Ben took over and ran around Hex hitting him multiple times as one of his charms flew off as Wade caught it.

Ben did his tornado move to send Hex right into the ground knocking him out.

Max: nice job.

Ben: just doing what we need to do and keeping it low-key.

By "low-key" means standing in front of paparazzi with his arms extended like a champion.

Ben: who's your hero?
