Chapter 9: Werewolf Army

The green light dies down and standing in Ben's place is a small white humanoid creature.

Echo Echo: " Echo Echo!"

My arms slowly change to a dark gray, almost black metal, and I feel nuclear power flow through me.

Gwen grabs a loose metal bar, Grandpa Max puts his hand on her shoulder.

Max: " Gwen, its to dangerous, we should leave it to them."

Gwen: " But...."

Max: " No buts Gwen."

Gwen looks down and nods reluctantly.

Hex: " Here, take this."

Hex grabs a book from his shelf and hands it to Gwen.

Gwen: " What's this."

Hex: " It's a spell book, a Grimoire."

Gwen: " But why give this to me?"

Hex: " Because I sense a powerful magic dwelling within you. With that you should be able to hone your potential."

Echo Echo: " I. hope. you're. all. ready. because. here. they. come!"

I look back out the window and notice that all the werewolves are charging forward.

" It's now or never!"

I charge out the door, followed by Echo Echo, Hex, and Charmcaster. Closing in on the werewolves ,both of my hands glow a bright orange, I slam my closed fist into a pouncing wolf's jaw, sending it flying into a couple of its pack members.

One wolf slashes at me, but I duck under its swipe and grab its arm, searing it with nuclear radiation, then I throw it behind me.

" Eat nuclear power, you mutts!"

Echo Echo flies through the air, landing in front of my feet, he then disappears in a green flash.

" Huh? That must've been one of Echo Echo's clones."

A large rock golem with glowing pink lines running all along it charges past me, it grabs one wolf and slams it into another.

" What is that thing?"

Charmcaster: " They're my golems, they listen to my every command."

" Cool, that's sounds kinda like pokemon."

Charmcaster: " Pokemon? What's that?"

" I'll explain later, if we survive this."

I look behind Charmcaster and notice a werewolf pounce at her.

" Look out!"

I push her out of the way and hold up both my arms, blocking the creatures attack, it's claws not even scratching the metal.

" Is that all you got?"

I grab the creature by its throat and burn it with nuclear radiation, melting its neck and killing it.

" Are you alright Charmcaster?"

Charmcaster: " Yes, thank you."

" It was nothing."

Charmcaster: " Behing you!"

She blasts the werewolf with a bolt of white lightning, burning it to a crisp.

Charmcaster: " Now we're even."

Echo Echo: " Are. you. guys. alright?"

" We're fine, but this horde doesn't seem to be getting any smaller."

Charmcaster: " I know my uncle, he has a plan."

Echo Echo: " Are. you. sure?"

Hex flies into the air, his staff radiating a powerful mystical energy.

Hex: " Terra!"

A red beam of magic soars from his staff and hits the ground, the ground opens up into a large chasm, swallowing a portion of the werewolves.

Hex waves his staff and the chasm closes back up.

" Whoah..."

Charmcaster: " See, I told you my uncle had a plan."

Echo Echo: " That. was. awesome!"

My hands glow orange, and I blast out a beam of nuclear energy from both hands, hitting and disintegrating a wolf.

Charmcaster: " If we can take out the alpha, then the rest of the pack should lose their morale and retreat."

Echo Echo: " How. do. we. find. the. alpha?"

Charmcaster: " The alpha is usually bigger than the rest of the pack, or there is something else that sets it apart."

A werewolf lands in front of us, its maw looks like it could split open four ways.

Charmcaster: " That doesn't look like a normal werewolf."

" It's not, it's a Loboan."

Charmcaster: " What's a Loboan?"

" Its an alien that resembles a werewolf."

Charmcaster: " Alien? What's that?"

" I'll explain later."

The Loboan opens its maw four ways, and blast out a purple sonic howl.

Echo Echo: " Get. behind. me!"

Charmcaster puts up a purple energy dome around herself and me.

Echo Echo splits himself into five copies, all five release a green sonic blast,

the sonic blasts collide and push back against each other.

Charmcaster: " Do you think Ben can overpower that thing!?"

" I know he can!"

The Loboan's howl begins to push back the Echo Echos sonic blasts.

Charmcaster: " He's losing!"

" You can do this Ben!"

The Echo Echos combined screams push back the opposing howl, the colliding forces explode outwards, destroying the remaining werewolves and shattering the windows on the house.

The Loboan is sent flying through several grave stones, the blast knocks back the Echo Echos, causing the four clones to disappear, the original is engulfed in a flash of red, changing him back to his human form.

Ben: " Ughhh, my everything hurts."

" Ben! Are you alright?"

Ben: " Yeah, I'm good."

Charmcaster: " Uncle Hex! Where are you!?"

Hex: " I am here Charmcaster, there is no need to be alarmed."

Charmcaster runs up to her uncle and wraps him in a hug.

Charmcaster: " I thought I lost you to."

Hex: " I won't ever leave you."

Max: " Ben! Alex!"

" We're over here grandpa!"

Grandpa Max and Gwen, run up to us.

Max: " Are you kids ok?"

Ben: " We're fine grandpa."

Max: " Good, your parents would kill me if anything happened to you."

Hex: " Thank you for your help, I don't think we could've done it without you."

Max: " We should be the ones thanking you H....."

Hex: " Please, call me Henry. You have earned the right to call me by my real name."

Charmcaster: " And you can call me Hope."

Henry: " We must be going now."

Max: " Goodbye, we hope to see you on the road again."

Henry: " Until we meet again."

" Bye Hope."

Hope: " Bye, next time we meet, maybe you can tell me about aliens, and pokemon."

The two vanish in flashes of red and purple.

Gwen looks down at her grimoire, and smiles widely.

Ben: " Where to now, grandpa?"

Max: " I've always wanted to go to Texas."
