The Family Rivals (Ben 10 X Male Reader)

Chapter 25:The Return.....of no one?

-3rd POV-

During one quiet night, (Y/N) could be found tossing and turning in his bed, seemingly having a nightmare as he was covered in sweat and looked as if he was in physical pain. Said pain also seemed to be causing his Human form to be slowly coming apart, as cracks and tears began forming across it, revealing his Anodite body underneath.

Inside of (Y/N)'s mind, he was back inside of Vilgax's ship right after the Alien Tyrant had kidnapped him and Ben, hanging inside of a large glass container with chains made of energy wrapped around his arms.

A second later, and every part of his body was ripped to shreds by raw unstable energy shot into the container, which made (Y/N) wake up from his nightmare and sit up straight on his bed, surrounded by an aura of unstable Mana as his breathing became quick and erratic.

Once the boy got his breathing and Mana under control, he discovered he was now in his Anodite form. Something which made him quietly curl into a ball as he turned back into his Human form. Though, after a few seconds of sitting in silence, (Y/N) looked over at a shelf in his room and saw the head of the Mummy sitting inside of the Mana Bubble staring down at him.

"(Y/N):Tell anyone of this, and you'll regret it."

While the Mummy couldn't speak, it did seem to nod at the boy, getting (Y/N) to turn away from it. Right when he did however, there was a sudden burst of purple energy that threw (Y/N) onto the wall and onto the floor, with the Ultimatrix landing in front of him, as it had fallen off of his body due to his accidentally Anodite transformation.

After spotting the Ultimatrix, (Y/N) quickly grabbed it and put it back on his arm before looking over to where the energy burst had come from and spotting the same Werewolf from New Mexico standing in his room, holding the now freed Mummy head and several crystals of Dark Mana.

Not wasting any time, (Y/N) fired a bolt of Mana from his hand at the Werewolf, only for it to disappear in another burst of purple energy right before it hit the Alien. A second later, (Y/N)'s parents, Sunny, Charmcaster, and Zed all burst into the room, with the girls having Mana surroundings their hands, Amanda and Jack held energy swords, and finally Zed looking reading to rip someone's throat out.

"Jack:The heck happened in here?"

"(Y/N):That Werewolf from New Mexico showed and took the Mummy alongside the Dark Mana we recovered, that's what."

The next day, and the entire group could be found in the living room of the hotel room they were staying in, trying to come up with a plan to track down the Werewolf and Mummy. Though they weren't coming up with any good ones.

"Sunny:What about a Tracking Spell? That should work."

"Charmcaster:I tried that, remember? That weird energy (Y/N) talked about and the Dark Mana made it impossible to tell where they went."

"Sunny:Okay, jeez, just throwing it out there."

"Jack:Wait. What if we tracked the Dark Mana itself?"

"(Y/N):Well, maybe, but we don't know any Spells that can do that safely. So unless you have some gadget to do the job instead, we need another plan."

Right when there was a brief moment of silence in the conversation, the group heard something interesting from a News Report playing on the TV in the background, causing Amanda to turn up the volume so they could hear it better.

"News Reporter:Today's launch of the Noven Spacecraft has been delayed by a freak electrical storm. I've covered bad weather from across the four corners of the globe, and I've never seen anything like this purple lighting. This is Steve Cummings, reporting live from the Kennedy Space Centre."
