Ben 10: Marvelverse

Chapter 16: Magneto's return

Ben stood up as he stared down his cousin Gwen. Gwen was bursting with mana. Ben could sense it. Based on what he could sense Ben figured Gwen was probably capable of becoming an anodite if Grandma met her. Gwen pulled back her arm, creating a mana ball in her hands before throwing it at Ben. Ben raised his arm and used a defensive spell. green spell circles and runes created a wall in front of Ben that blocked the mana ball. Gwen looked at the spells confused. She could sense the energy with in the spell circles. She then shook off her confusion as she started to glare again. 

"You think just because you have the same power as me that i'm gonna back off Benjamin!!" Gwen yelled. 

"No. Honestly I couldn't care less about if you're mad at me or not. But if you want to fight then i'm sorry to say, but i'm out of your league." Ben said as his defensive spell disappeared. He pointed his hand at Gwen. "I summon the cuffs of krakkan!" He shouted as  purple cuffs of mana shot forth and clamped themselves around Gwen's wrists. Gwen tried to break the cuffs but found she could do nothing. In response she tried to use her powers to create an energy saw blade. However she found she couldn't use her powers either.

"What is this!?" Gwen yelled while trying to break the cuffs. 

"You don't even know a single spell do you?" Ben asked. Gwen looked at him enraged. "Do you even know what your power really is? Don't tell me you thought it was just creating energy constructs." Ben said. 

"What else would it be, Huh!?" Gwen retorted. Ben shook his head.

"Our ability is the control and manipulation of life force energy. Mana. The same energy that witches, wizards, and sorcerers use to power their magic. In essence we control magic itself." Ben said as he created spell circles all around him. Gwen looked all around in disbelief. "And i've learned magic from the sorcerer supreme, Dr. Strange himself. You think you can win a battle against me?" Ben asked. Gwen looked at him. "You don't even understand the basic principles of your power." Ben said. 

"Let her go." A male voice ordered. Ben turned to see a tall guy with long black hair. He wore a black t-shirt over a grey long sleeve shirt, his jeans were old and worn with a tear under his knee on his left leg, around his neck he wore a necklace that had the number 11 etched into it. Seeing the necklace Ben had an idea of who it is.  

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Ben said in a threatening tone. Flexing his arm it turned into a huge sword that reached the ground. Kevin looked at Ben slightly confused. 

"Do i know you?" He asked. Ben stared at him for a moment. He then relaxed as his arm returned to normal. 

"Sorry. Thought you were someone else." Ben said. 

"No problem. Now let her go." Kevin said in a chill manner. Ben stared at him. Seeing that he wasn't backing down Kevin put his hand on the brick of the mansion. He then started to absorb the material as his flesh and clothes turned to red brick. "I won't ask again." Kevin said. Ben looked at Gwen and waved his hand causing the cuffs to disappear. Ben then started walking away. Gwen apparently didn't like this as she ran in front of Ben. 

"Hey! Don't think you can just walk away! Not after everything you did! Do you know how much Aunt Sandra and Uncle Carl cried after you left?! How long they looked for you!?!" Gwen asked. Ben looked at her for a second before he attempted to walk around Gwen. But she got in front of him again. "Hey! I'm talking to you dweeb!" Gwen yelled. Ben continued to ignore her though now he was a bit irritated. So instead of walking around her he used his magic to teleport behind her. Gwen looked around in shock at the ability. Seeing he was behind her she continued after him. Kevin, Carl, Sandra, and Max were close behind. Charles was now at the front door watching this. As he did he could sense Ben's mental fortitude deteriorating. He was no longer unable to read Ben's thoughts. Though it was only the surface level. Charles was about to say something when something else caught his attention. Focusing on it Charles tried to figure out what it was that caught his attention. When he figured it out it was too late.
