Ben reached the time machine and stood on it with Axel. They looked at Beatrice hammering the engine. Dexter looked away from her and stared at Ben. An evil grin covered his face, "Welcome, Benjamin."
Ben glared at him and Axel clicked his tongue, "Is that your little version?"
"Stop it, Dexter. Everything is over. Gotham is dead and your kingdom has fallen. Now, listen to me--"
"No, you listen to me." Dexter said, "Become mine, Ben. Do that and I'll stop all this."
Ben took a deep breath, "Listen, I'm an alien. That's why I lived for so long. My eyes turned pink in a research I did and not because of any surgery. The marks on my back are due to a mutation too. I've never done plastic surgery, on my planet, your face continues to change as you grow. Also, I have no interest in other breeds. Am I clear?"
"Ben, you're pretty mature, bro." Axel said.
"Thanks...bro," Ben said, awkwardly.
"You're an alien? Is this another lie?"
"Normal humans can't breathe underwater, nor can they live for so long--"
"You must have done something to achieve that. You think I'll buy a lie like that?"
"Listen, dude, fuck off already, man! Pew pew, your mermaid died and you lost, get ratioed, motherfucker! Take L!" Axel yelled.
"Shut this kid up."
"Kid-I'm 13!"
"Ben, I don't believe you. Show me the proof."
Ben looked him and removed his shirt and tie. He then slowly brought his fingers over his eyes. He inserted them into the inner wall of his eyelids and stretched them out. Axel looked at him remove his human skin.
His real body wasn't pale and human-like, he had a navy blue, glossy skin, with purple scales all over it. His mouth was much wider and reached till his ears. He didn't have a nose but gills under his jaw. Though, he still had the same hair on his head.
Dexter gaped at him, "What in the world." His body had certain yellow dots all over it, which resembled stars in the blue universe. His pink eyes shone brightly on his blue skin.
"Wow..." Axel looked at Ben.
"Tell me now, do you still love me?"
"Heck no I don't, you creep!" Dexter took a step back with a disgusted look on his face, "Ew. What have I seen!"
Ben smiled.
"Your skin is so beautiful. I looks like it holds the universe." Axel looked at him as if he were a dream.
Ben smiled, "Thanks, Axel." He wore back his human skin and his clothes, "Keep this a secret from dad, though."
"You bet."
Dexter walked to him and grabbed his wrist. "I wonder how much would you sell for?"
"What?"
"Why not do a research on him?" Beatrice recommended.
"This is exactly why I didn't tell anyone who I was." Ben said.
"Hey! Stay away from Ben, you boomer!" Axel shouted.
Dexter looked into his pink eyes and smirked, "Beatrice, we are going back to the future, forever."
Ben's eyes widened and he tried to pull away, "No use, I'm wearing a strength belt."
"No!"
Beatrice gave one last strong hit to the floor and all the lights went down. The machine started falling down slowly.
"My time machine!" Ben shouted as Dexter pulled him towards the time portal.
"Leave me!" Ben kicked his feet as he dragged him. Axel grabbed his legs and pulled him back but Dexter was stronger due to the gadget he was wearing. The machine titled to the right as it fell.
But MiK and Norman grew in size--About 25 feet and held the time machine from its two ends.
Dexter was about to enter the portal when Valorie jumped before him.
"Valorie!" Axel shouted.
"I'll deal with you too, traitor." Dexter said and Beatrice attacked him.
Slaine looked at Asselyum.
"Her hand?" He looked around. Elron came running towards him with Asselyum's hand in his mouth.
"Elron!" Slaine smiled.
"Good boy," He took her hand and turned towards her, "But how do we fix her?"
