Chapter 2: guardian

Currently Ben is walking down the streets of Haruna, after promptly fixing the damage to Sedo's Inn. Which was under ten minutes, gotta love Clockwork's chronokinesis. He went to find the town resident sorcerer, who was also the leader in town.

After flying to a large manor Ben had knocked on the door then two maids came out. They both had dog like ears on their heads, "uh hi, mind if I see the man of the house?" He asked. He had to admit the maid get up was rather attractive but decided to keep his mind out of the gutter.

Then tall man with black hair and short beard walked out "ah you must be Ben Tennyson right? I'm pleased to meet a strong warrior such as yourself" he said. "You must be the sorcerer I need to speak with aren't you pleased to meet you" Ben said shaking his hand.

Now they were walking through a garden with an elder man and two soldier girls. He had asked Ben to help with protecting Haruna if something major attacks. Of course the alien teen agreed so long as they forgive him for the mess at the Crooked Dragon's tail and keep the origin of his powers secret.

"Good to have you on our side" the sorcerer said then a little girl voice called him. Ben turned to the source o see Bahumut feeding Syrup countless amounts of cookies. "Oh you're Bahumut's father?" He asked the sorcerer, "yes... wait how do you know my daughter's name?" He asked Ben.

"Oh that mess at the inn, that was from trying to escape her and Jörmungundr when they were trying to get me to squeal about my powers" Ben explained. "Girls will be girls I guess" he added, "yes I suppose, anyway back into task..." his voice droned off.

Later on Ben is now walking to the newly repaired Crooked dragon's tail inn. "Welcome" the two waitresses greeted "hey Leviathan" Ben said waving. She wanted to make up for accidentally destroying the inn by working there even though Ben repaired it.

"Oh hello Ben, came to get something to eat" Leviathan asked, "yeah, still kinda hungry" he answered. He sat at the bar to talk with Sedo, that was until he heard a scream. When he turned he found that Leviathan had accidentally sprayed water in a woman's face with her magic when she was going to give a man a refill.

"Uh Leviathan, maybe you should have a little more practice with your powers" Ben advised, the dragon girl slumped over. "I know" she said, "maybe I can help" Ben said, then grew Gravattack's core and turned his brain into Brainstorm's. the combined powers allowed him to make a geyser burst from the barrel that had the water in it and easily refill the glasses that needed them.

Little to say everyone was impressed "amazing" Leviathan exclaimed. "It's nothing, just a little control over gravity along with some telekinesis" Ben said waving his hand. "Maybe you can show me a trick or two" she asked "well let's start with a basic in hydro kinetic power. Try making a water tendril rise out... slowly" Ben instructed, Leviathan did as told and a small stream of water rose from the barrel.

"Okay that's good, now what I did but slowly" Ben instructed again, Leviathan then made the water go into everyone's glasses at a slower pace.

Later on he taught her other tricks that water powers can do. One included having her wear a cup filled with water on her back and have multiple tentacles of water rise out from it and hold plates to help her wait tables.

Later on they were walking down the street and ran into Jörmungundr. "Hey guys" she greeted, "afternoon" Ben greeted back, then the next thing anybody knew Syrup flew by them. "Oh hey Syrup, why the rush?" Ben asked, "oh good you three were just who I was looking for, hurry we need to help Bahumut" she exclaimed.

"WHAT!?"

They fallowed Syrup until they found said fire mage stuck in a muddy bog. "Oh god what happened? Never mind quick I need some help" Ben said then threw some Snare Oh bandaged at her.

"Leviathan, I need you to tap into the water in the bog to help Bahumut rise. Jörmungundr, I need you to help me pull her out" Ben said. Leviathan pointed her spear to the mud and it started bubbling while Jörmungundr grabbed onto the bandages and pulled. "Wow these things are strong" she commented, "wait I have an idea, top some bandages onto that tree" she said pointing to one.

Ben had looped a few around a tree like a pulley and Jörmungundr tied them to her ax. "Okay. Maybe this'll help" she said throwing her ax into the bog which pulled Ben towards the tree and managed to drag Bahumut out a little. "Nice idea, using your ax as a counter weight" Ben said after the fire mage was completely free.

"Oh my that was a close one, are you okay Bahumut?" Syrup asked, the dragon girl only coughed up some mud in response. After that a loud roar was heard and the mud was shot up from the bog. Little to say it knocked them all back and had some how managed to knock Leviathan's and Jörmungundr's clothes off, leaving them in dragon scale looking undergarments.

"Well, that was weird" Ben commented from being in a tree covered in mud. "Uh guys" he said pointing to a large dragon like creature that's head rose from the bog. "Uh... sorry mister dragon, we didn't mean any harm, we were only trying to get Bahumut out of he bog that's all" Ben tried to say.

Then Syrup glowed green "okay now, you see this fairy here, she can read my mind and junk she she'll be my interpreter stuff" she said obviously reading the dragon's mind. "Are you sure you're reading his mind correctly Syrup?" Ben asked, "yeah because Something tells me he isn't to happy with your performance" Leviathan added.

The dragon growled in agreement, "anyway here's the deal, I go by the name Yurlungur, I was just taking a nap in this here bog, then next thing I knew something fell in my mouth, and whatever it was has unfortunately made my stomach feel most uncomfortable"  the dragon said.

Ben and the rest then thought until Jörmungundr spoke up "wow dose that mean mean you swallowed my ax whole?" She asked. Yurlungur then looked to her "I had a feeling you's Four had something to do with my stomach ache, in that case, I'm gonna need you all to go inside me and fish the thing out immediately" he said. Well More like Syrup interpreted.

"Huh?" The tan girl had a worried yet confused face, "that's right you heard me, and another thing, you two in the bathing suits" the dragon then turned around and blushed. "I would appreciate it if you had put something more decent on" Syrup interpreted.

Leviathan and Jörmungundr looked at themselves then covered their chests, Ben had wasn't even aware of it until Yurlungur mentioned it, then turned around blushing. "Didn't see anything I promise" he yelped trying to avoid eye contact.

While the two were putting their clothes back on he had washed off Bahumut with Water Hazard's hydro Cannon palms. The whole time they were arguing about the whole situation, Ben had decided to go in alone. Leviathan and Jörmungundr joined him to be extra back up, Bahumut fallowed not wanting to be alone in the bog.

"Wow your mouth is real clean, and this isn't the first time I've been in a monster's mouth, once inside a Krakken and another inside a giant crocodile" Ben said. "Oh Yurlungur's trying to say something" Syrup said, "well what's he saying?", the fairy then glowed green.

"Yes you Four are tasty indeed" the four then tried to get his mouth open to escape "WAIT I SEC I WAS ONLY JOKING!!!" The fairy shouted. "Your awful" they scolded, "honestly how could you" Bahumut said. "Oh come on it wasn't that bad" Syrup replied "easy for you" the red dragon then bumped into Yurlungur's Uvula.

"Huh, what's this?" She asked, "whoa it's a super huge sac thing" Jörmungundr said. "Sac" Bahumut then covered her mouth when she said the word, "op I wouldn't touch that it controls his gag reflex, one wrong move and he'll throw up" Ben warned.

"From up close, it's kinda cute" Leviathan said, Ben heard the dragon make some sort of noise that hinted embarrassment. They walked further to spot two paths, "ones got to lead to the stomach, the other is most likely the lungs" Ben said. "Which one is which?" Jörmungundr asked, Ben wrapped a vine on one of Yurlungur's flabs. "I'll go down and check" he said as he went down the one on the bottom.

"See anything yet?" Bahumut asked, Leviathan tried to lean in closer only to accidentally make the vine lose grip and drag the three down and fall on Ben. "Ow" he groaned, "now look at what you did!" The fire mage yelled when the water mage sulked "I suck" she said.

"Hey girls check this out" Ben called, then they saw a large organ glowing bright blue.

"Oh it's so beautiful, what is it?" Leviathan asked. "Yurlungur is saying beats me" Syrup said, "my guess those are his lungs, come on the top path leads to the stomach" Ben said as they climbed out. "Hey no one look up my skirt" Bahumut said, "I'm Kinda leading us so no need to tell me" Ben said since he can't see.

"Oh too late I saw everything" Leviathan said nonchalantly, Bahumut blushed with embarrassment.

Once they were out Ben lead them down the top path. His time he had them go down first while he tied a bandage to Yurlungur's tooth. Once they were finally down they immediately went to search for Jörmungundr's ax.

"I'm sure it's around here somewhere"
Ben said, "man I'm Hungry" Jörmungundr said clutching her stomach. "I haven't eaten since we blew up that cafe", "seriously?" Leviathan inquired. "Me too me too" Syrup said, "I say we Rip out a piece and grill it up" the tan girl said lightly tapping the dragon's insides.

Outside Yurlungur flinched when he heard that, "Ew that's gross I'm not eating guts let's find a better spot of him to tear out of" Bahumut said. "I'd rather not for Yurlungur's well being" Ben said, "what don't tell me you didn't know, guts are way tasty, once you get the coals to the right Heat they get nice and crispy. The fats start popping and it tastes amazing" Jörmungundr described.

"Wow, that's sounds tasty" Bahumut said "my mouth is watering" Leviathan added. "As hungry as I may be I am still against this" Ben said as his mouth was literally drooling like crazy. "I don't think he'll be missing a little part of his guts" Jörmungundr said, "I'll get a fire started" Bahumut added.

The next thing any of them knew a pear like fruit fell on the fire mage's head. And several more fruits fell to them "hey what's going on?" Leviathan asked, "oh I think Yurlungur swallowed those for us just now, I don't think he wanted you to rip us his innards apart" Syrup explained. "Smart dragon, but let's be cautious and not ask him to eat anything like a beef bowl or anything along those lines" Ben said.

"He may end up flying into town and try to get food from the dragon's tail, and by get food I mean he might smash his head through the front door and eat the foods we ask for" He added.

Outside the beast, the creature itself had heard Ben, that's what it was about to do, then heard Leviathan say "okay point taken I guess these will do" she said. "Yeah plus I don't think my dad will be to happy about hearing a dragon busting through the inn" Bahumut added. "And I don't think Sedo will be to keen on the idea also" The aforementioned water mage said.

The large dragon had thanked Ben for what he had said and flew back to the bog. Now done eating the four explored more of the Dragon, they hadn't found Jörmungundr's ax yet.

"This is taking forever" Bahumut said, "just be patient, it is a virtue after all" Ben said. They had looked around a stalagmite to hear a slight buzzing sound. "Uh, does anyone hear that?" Leviathan asked, they looked above to see thousands of the bug things from last chapter latching onto Yurlungur's stomach.

"Hey what are those Trips doing here!?" Syrup yelped, the shapeshifter had gotten a better look to see them parasitically sucking the nutrients from the poor dragon. "They're sucking out his nutrients, like parasites" Ben yelled, "what that's cruel, taking someone's food when its in their own stomach" Jörmungundr shouted.

"Who else do we know who did that?" Syrup asked "not the time fairy" Ben said. The Trips noticed the four and flew towards them, Bahumut attempted to hit them using fire balls but had missed a few and struck Yurlungur's stomach walls. "My stomach isn't feeling so good" Syrup interpreted for the dragon.

"Bahumut knock it off, if you keep doing that then Yurlungur is in danger" Leviathan yelled "have a better idea?" The fire mage asked.

"I do" Ben said turning into Omni running around and striking every one of those bugs he can find. "Take this!!!! KING'S INFERNO!!!!!!!" The teen had unleashed a violent torrent of fire which managed to avoid hitting the stomach walls and successfully got a large number of Trips.

Leviathan helped out remembering the cup she had was still on her back and was sealed tight "okay her it goes" she said taking the lid off and getting her spear out. What happened next was mesmerizing, She had transformed into her enhanced form Ben saw her in when he arrived here.


But when Ben wasn't paying attention to himself, the Omnitrix had actually somehow scanned Leviathan's transformation sequence. And had made Ben do the same exact thing, he gained his own enhanced form similar to Leviathan's.

"Woah, don't remember ever doing that before" he commented on his new form. "I thought only women can do that, how did you manage it!?" Bahumut asked, Ben was about to answer when the Trips came flying towards him.

He raised his hands and ferocious winds were hurled in that direction, this had turned into thin winds and managed to slice through the bugs. "But I can get used to it" he said smirking then saw numerous water blasts strike more of the bugs.

Leviathan had been blasting as he was blowing them away, she had gotten all of them. "Wow fast work" Jörmungundr commented "is there any other kind?" Ben asked. Then a larger Trip fell from The ceiling "uh Leviathan, you up for a combo breaker?" He asked.

"Uh sure" she replied, the two had stood together and formed a fighting stance. "Behold the power of the life giving water!!!!" They both changed and sent a wave of water to it. Which had managed to slice it in half, and out fell Jörmungundr's ax.

"Hey my Ax" she said running over to it, "guess he did swallow it" Bahumut inquired. The delivery girl touches it and as it turned out the weapon was covered in big guts. Then the other three backed away, "don't even come near us" Bahumut said.

"No offense" Ben called out.

They were now outside the creature, it had thanked them for relieving him of the bug things. He hadn't felt better in years and had told them to call him for help whenever they're in trouble. Aside from Leviathan who had been given the permission to call on him whenever she likes as with Ben.

He was actually a fan of his despite being from a different dimension. As for Jörmungundr's ax problem, she was forced to clean it off herself.
