Ben swung around when Gwen called out to him, smashing aside a pair of puddlespawn with his Vaxasaurian fist. His instinctual response had been that Gwen was hurt, but what he saw was worse.

"Gwen!" He shouted, his voice booming like thunder.

No, no, no.

He reached for Gwen but the wave of power she released forced him back. Ben blinked his alien eyes, trying to refocus them after the intense burst magenta energy subsided.

Gwen had activated her Anodite form but she didn't seem like she had meant to. Ben knew what that would mean if he couldn't calm her down. He wasn't going to lose her, not like Holiday...

"Gwen! You need to fight it or you'll!-"

He activated his ability to grow, his Vaxasaurian form's height increasing slowly. Ben reached out for his cousin, hoping he could reach her before she flew out of his reach.

The energy was almost suffocating. Why hadn't she done this before? It was so _SIMPLE_. She raised a hand, and almost offhandedly eradicated one of the puddlespawn that had still been around, before turning to Ben.

"No! You don't get it - it's so simple - Ben, I can eradicate those things with a thought. And then the Aeon -- it's caused too much suffering! I won't have it -" She's cocky, overconfident - fueled by anger and power and the want to end the fighting. No one else will die, no one else will suffer. Only ... only-- she stared at Ben's alien form as he moved to intercept her, green eyes narrowing.

If she was alarmed that she felt no connection to her cousin, it was too disconnected from her current self to reveal. She wasn't Gwen anymore - not the way he knew her. "Why are you standing in my way!? I thought you wanted to end this - MOVE." She clenches a hand, "Or I'll make you move."

He stopped for a moment, genuinely surprised. Something about her Anodite voice had always thrown him off.

"Gwen, that isn't you talking. It's the power, it's destroying you."

Ben stared up at her, he was sure he could take her. He'd done it before, granted that she wasn't a full Anodite then, but he really didn't want to have to fight Gwen ever again. He tried to reach up to her again.

"Gwen please..."

aaaa Ben ;o; anodite_spark June 3 2012, 00:06:21 UTC

It was the duality - that echoey timbre that always affected her voice that made it sound more otherworldly, right?

She wasn't listening. Or - to be more accurate, she was listening but paying it no mind. She turned away to stare in the other direction, reaching out to sense the presence of the Aeon and its spawn.

"They're _STILL_ out there. More of them, attacking people -" And there was something to the south too, wasn't there. She remembered seeing an alert on the network a few days ago.

That will have to be dealt with too. But first, this person - that boy who took the form of the Vaxasaurian. He had ties to the her that was weak and afraid - the one that clung to her humanity. He's pleading to something that was buried. Pleading to her humanity - she had no need for it.

Once she dealt with the creatures here, he would see sense. He would be grateful. But they wouldn't be cousins. They wouldn't be family, or even friends. And a part of her - overshadowed by the pulse of energy, breaks down in tears at that thought ( ... )
