Luck's In The Girl
Needing a little pit stop, the Tennysons find themselves at a little market area where many people had stands that sold much cheap stuff.
Ben:(yawn)
Gwen: Wow, they have some pretty cool books.
Ben: Just download it on your phone.
Gwen:(rolls eyes)...
Noticing a stand with a "magical" theme, Gwen wanders over and glances at their selection.
Gwen:... Do you have any real magic stuff?
Gypsy: Real magic? Uhmmm...
She picks up a little stone charm necklace.
Gypsy: This should give you great luck if you wear it.
Gwen: Really?
Gypsy: Yes. Five dollars.
Gwen: Hmm... Okay, it is a little cute.
Buying it, Gwen looks at it while carrying on perusing the nicknacks people were offering.
Ben: Cool.
He finds a green leather jacket which was a bit too big for him.
Ben: Hmm... I can grow into.
Max was looking at some fishing gear and bait. Who was the bait for, was difficult to tell?
Gwen then noticed a stand selling costume supplies.
(CRASH)
A man destroys a stand. His figure floated in the air with a staff and a red glow around his hands.
(Witchdoctor sorcerer: Hex)
With four charms around his neck, he searched for the last one, turning immediately toward Gwen.
Gwen:!
(Opening theme)
Hex aims his hand at Gwen, ready to cast a spell, but he is quickly pounced upon by Wildmutt.
Wildmutt: ROOAGHH!!
Hex pushed Ben back with his staff, mumbling an incantation as his eyes glow red.
Wildmutt: Ragh?
Wildmutt's powerful senses alerted Ben of swords flying at him.
Flipping over the barrage of blades flung toward him, Ben senses how Hex was floating into the air.
Grabbing a table of nicknacks, Ben throws it at Hex who swats it away with his staff.
Hex: Retched creature... Begone!
He fires a stream of fire which wildmutt dodges.
Gwen:...
The talks with Ben about how she was no help to him, folwed through her mind. She might be capable of planning and seeing things Ben couldn't notice, but in a battle like this, Ben was correct.
And it annoyed her.
She watched her grandfather Max, pick up a BB gun and open fire on Hex.
(POP)
(POP)
(POP)
Hex: GHA!
Gwen: Hmph!
Her determination was set to help, no matter what.
Gwen's newly bought charm glowed as she ran up and grabbed an Olympic javelin.
Throwing it, she completely misses Hex, but the javelin did surprise him, making him back up and get entangled in the Christmas lights used to spice up the place.
The javelin then landed inside a fuse box, which caused all the lights to be supplied with too much energy and pop.
Including the ones around Hex which lit on fire.
Hex was forced to retreat.
Gwen: Whoa...
She looks down and notices how her charm was glowing.
Gwen:!
Gwen:(smirks)
After that mess, the Tennysons left the scene, continuing on their path to Mt. Rushmore.
Gwen was working on some kind of outfit as Ben fiddled with the Omnitrix.
Ben: That guy was pretty freaky. How do you think he flew? Some kind of alien jetpack?
Gwen: Maybe it was magic.
Ben: Yeah, sure.
Ben: Here, let me cast a spell... Hokus pokus, you're a dweeb.
Gwen: You can literally change shape and size with the watch. Is magic that impossible?
Ben: Wow, you're THE ONE to defend magic?
Ben: The watch obviously uses space science.
Gwen: Technology advanced enough can be considered Magic to us.
Ben: So you agree? Alien jet pack.
Gwen: Which could be considered magic...
Ben: Let's just consider me right.
Gwen: Grandpa, what do you think?
Max: I think, anything is possible and has an explanation.
Max: With careful observation and thought-
(CRASH)
In the distance, the Tennysons saw a burning building under construction.
Ben: Looks like it's Hero Time!
Gwen: I'll race you there.
Max/Ben:?
Turning to Gwen, the two saw her in costume.
(Lucky Girl)
Gwen: It's lucky girl time!
She leaps out of the RV and flips onto an ambulance that speeds by.
Ben: Whoa!? What's gotten into her?!
Max: Ben-
Ben: Yeah, yeah. Four Arms is on the case!
(TSOOOOOOOOO)
Four arms: Oh yeah!
Squeezing out of the Rustbucket, Ben leaps over to the construction fire.
There he saw the workers trying to get out.
He leaps towards them as Gwen lads on a plank of wood which catapults a toolbox into the crane truck they were using.
Smashing into the control box, the tools made the truck's crane swing into Ben, knocking him into the cement mixer of a cement truck.
Four arms: AGH!
The hook of the crane then caught the broken edge of the falling net for the workers.
With it pulled out, the workers were able to leap onto it. Lucky Girl then used the crane to pull the net and them away.
The fire department soon arrived.
By the time Ben got out of the mixer and timed out, Gwen was introducing the world to Lucky Girl.
Ben:...
Ben: WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!
Hex wandered the streets of the city until he saw a broadcast of Lucky Girl through a window.
Hex:(Glares) That "Lucky girl" has the last charm... My charm...
To the surprise of the pedestrians, Hex began levitating into the air as he went on the hunt for this new superhero.
Gwen: Doing some research, it looks like I have myself a genuine lucky charm.
Ben: A little warning next time?!
Gwen: Like you give us a warning when you run off?
Ben: Says the dweeb not washing cement off her body...
Max: Didn't that man at the market have a few of those?
Gwen: Yeah. In my research, I found that the other charms give the ability to fly, shoot lightning and even resurrect the dead.
Ben: You wanna collect the set or something?
Gwen: Why not? The world could use an extra hero.
Ben: Hmmm... I guess I could use a sidekick...
Gwen: Sidekick?
Ben: I came first. It's only natural that you become my sidekick.
Gwen: It's going to be partners.
Ben: I'll consider it when you don't KNOCK ME INTO A CEMENT MIXER!
Gwen:(smirks) Easy enough.
Gwen: Not like there are cement mixers everywhere.
Gwen: Besides, you could use some luck.
Ben: Heh... I make my own luck.
(WHEE-WHOOOO)
Police cars speed by.
Ben/Gwen:(smirks) It's Hero Time.
Ben: Hey!
Ben: That's my line. Come up with your own catchphrase.
Gwen:(rolls eyes) Whatever...
Max:...
Following the police cars, the Tennysons arrive at a Graveyard.
Max: You two, be careful.
Gwen: Don't worry. Luck's on my side tonight.
Ben: Ugh... No.
The three leave the RV to investigate, however eager Gwen races on ahead in costume.
She enters the Graveyard only for the gates to slam shut behind her.
Max: Gwen! Wait!
She couldn't hear him, thus she continued without worry as Ben and Max tried forcing the gate open.
They then notice the police cards fade away, revealing they were illusions.
Hex then floats over the gates.
Ben: Hmph. It's on!
Gwen: Huh?
Looking back, Gwen finally notices how Ben and Max weren't behind her anymore.
Gwen: Ben? Grandpa?
Hex then spoke atop a mausoleum.
Hex: "Lucky Girl".
Gwen:?!
Hex: Return to me what is mine.
Gwen: Yours? I bought this fair and square.
Hex: It should have never been given to anyone but me in the first place.
Gwen: What makes these yours?
Hex: I am Hex, a grand master of the mystic arts. That artifact of ancient power is too much for a little girl such as yourself.
Hex: Return it... And you will be spared.
Gwen: I'm sorry... But I don't listen to criminals.
One of the charms glowed, causing gargoyle statues to come to life.
One was large and hulking. A smaller one was leaner and more human in size. The smallest had wings and began to fly once another charm of Hex's glowed.
The last two charms then glowed. The larges began glowing with heat as the middle-sized one of the three crackled with electricity.
Hex: Get the charm.
The three gargoyles charged at Gwen.
Gwen:(smirks) Hmph!
Her charm glowed, as she rushed toward danger.
The hulking gargoyle immediately tripped when the gravestone it stood on crumbled under its weight.
Gwen, believing in the power of the charm, flipped over and bounced off the flying gargoyle, over the lightning-charged one, and towards Hex who mumbles an incantation.
Lifting his staff, Gwen was left frozen in the air.
Gwen:?!
Hex: The charms aren't what make me a powerful wizard...
Hex: Unlike you who is NOTHING without it!
Ripping the charm of luck off her chest, Hex places it onto his sash.
Tossing her aside Hex begins levitating into the air.
Hex: Finally, the power I need to-
The small gargoyle smacks into Hex.
Diamondhead: What was that? I couldn't quite hear you!
Max: Gwen, are you okay?
Gwen: Yeah... But I lost the charm...
Diamondhead: Don't tell me that's all it took to bring Lucky Girl down.
Gwen:... Hmph.
Max puts Gwen on the ground after having caught her. Ben then charges at the hulking gargoyle and the crackling brother of its as they approached to attack.
(SLAM)
Crossing his arms, Ben blocked a molten punch from the hulking as the runt blasted him with electricity.
(THUD, THUD, THUD)³
He fired a barrage of Diamond shards until the big guy punched him across the face.
Hex got up and threw the small flyer into the fray, only for Max to shatter it with a shovel he found.
(Shatter)
Hex:?-
(Thud)
Gwen hits Hex with a rock.
Hex:....(annoyed sigh)
Hex: Child... I will end you.
Gwen: Try me!
Raising his hand, one of the charms glows. As the Hulking Gargoyle loses the fire ability, Hex gains it.
Gwen: Ben!
Punching the weakened gargoyle aside, Ben stomps his foot and creates a wall of diamonds between himself and Gwen.
Protected by Hex's fire, Gwen draws his attention by running away from the wall.
Hex: Hmph.
Lightning leaves
Max: Hey!
Turning around, Hex finds Max's fist in his face. Before he could do anything, Max knees Hex in the stomach before lifting him over his head and throwing him onto the scrunty-Goyle.
(CRASH)
The Gargoyle shattered.
Ben blocked a punch from the large hulking Gargoyle. With it having lost its firepower, and that firepower having softened his body, Ben made his arm into a blade and stabbed it into the gargoyle.
Growing his diamonds, the Gargoyled was stabbed inside out by a plethora of spikes.
As Hex got up, Ben approached.
Diamondhead: Hey, let me show you a magic trick!
Slamming him into the ground, Ben covers him in a coffin of diamonds.
Diamondhead: Your lucks run out.
(Doot-doot-doot-doot-dooooot)
With his hand behind his back, Ben joined his family as they called the cops on Hex and left.
Back on the road to Rushmore, Gwen and Ben sat behind a table.
Gwen:(looks at mask)...
Gwen: Well my hero days were short.
Gwen: I gotta give it to you Ben. You make the whole charging in blindly like an idiot, look easy.
Ben: Like an idiot you say...
He drops the charms of Bezel on the table.
Gwen:!
Ben: What do you say?
Ben: Ben 10 and Gwen 5? Saviors of the Universe?
Gwen: Ben 10 and Gwen 5?
Ben: It makes sense doesn't it? The name's Tennyson, I got 10 transformations.
Ben: And since you have five powers... You get the short end of the stick.
Gwen:(smiles)....
Ben: So... Sidekick... What will it be?
Gwen:.... Raincheck.
Ben: Eh?
Gwen: You got things covered for now.
Gwen: So I'll quietly train. And make a real comeback as Lucky Girl.
Gwen:(smiles) But thanks, I appreciate it.
She grabs the charms and puts them into a tin box.
Ben:(shrugs)...
Ben: Hey Grandpa, you were pretty good back there, wanna be my sidekick?
Max:(chuckles)
Max: I'll think about it.
Ben:(sigh)....
Ben: I'm better solo, anyway...
The police arrived to take Hex away.
Hex:....
They suddenly freeze in place.
???: Hi uncle... Need help?
