Chapter 24
The Second Attack
Albedo had just finished feeding and changing the babies and then helped Ben clean his stitches to avoid an infection when an alarm sounded. The space station rocked with several hits from weapons fire. Kenny and Azmea began to bawl, while Ben and Albedo feverishly worked to calm them.
Ben made his way to the intercom panel and keyed for the central control, Max Tennyson answered, “Ben we’re under attack, it looks like Vilgax and the same band of cronies that trashed your house.
“What defenses do you have in place, Grandpa?”
“Enhanced Galvan shields over a tritanium outer shell to the base, plus a full contingent of plumbers including the group that you personally trained.”
“Against those guys you know that might not be enough, I’m on my way up.”
“Ben you’ve just been through surgery and given birth, I don’t think…”
“I’m not letting them get their hands on my children, grandpa, the omnitrix will let me heal faster than I could otherwise if I transform.”
“One more thing grandpa, can you send a squad of guards to my quarters, a squad that you have absolute trust in, no one else; and have that little item I asked for waiting for us when we get there.”
As Albedo and Ben approached the command center they could hear the flurry of activity as the plumbers feverishly worked to defend the base.
“Ben,” Max and Kevin both said as they walked over to the pair, “We still think you two ought to sit this one out.”
“No way Grandpa, Kev, I am NOT letting those creeps get their hands on our kids, if saving them means I don’t make it, then so be it.
Max and Kevin, even Albedo looked at Ben; stunned by the ferocity in his voice and the depth of his conviction.
Rook had just returned to the control room after securing the babies and also witnessed the encounter; like the others he was also stunned by Ben’s aggressive tone.
Since coming into possession of the omnitrix he had defeated many adversaries but he had never reacted with such anger. Of course until now he hadn’t been a father protecting his family.
Max handed him a spherical container with a sealed computerized lock.
Albedo recognized it immediately, “That’s a Galvan high priority transport module.”
“It took some doing, but I got Azmuth to send this for you; believe me he was nearly impossible to convince.”
The station rocked under another barrage of fire, but their defenses were holding for now.
“Put this on quick, you’re going to need it.”
“What is it,” Albedo asked; Ben told him, “It’s the prototype omnitrix, the one I wore when I was ten. It doesn’t have full capabilities, but it’ll still be useful to you.
“You’re letting me have an omnitrix; I can’t believe Azmuth would agree to this.”
“It wasn’t easy to convince him, but when I made him see the importance of letting us have all the tools we would need to protect the children at our disposal he finally relented.”
“I thought Levin was the ‘smooth fast talker’ in our little family,” Albedo quipped just as the space station rocked with another round of heavy weapons fire.
“Yeah, well if you hang around with Kevin long enough you pick up a few things,” Ben shouted over the sound of explosions; they could also hear the babies bawling, even in the confines of the most heavily armored and well protected part of the station.
Ben and Albedo were torn between joining the defense and going to comfort their daughter and son, as any parent would.
In the end, they both agreed that if the invaders broke through the defenses, all the comfort they could provide to their children right now wouldn’t mean much.
