The man who swore Vengeance and the making of a hero

"Are you still mad at me for not letting you kill Animo?" Max asked Ben.

"...." Ben didn't reply.

"You know I only wanted you to not go down the wrong path," Max said.

"Just leave him alone Grandpa. He is just sulking because things didn't go his way." Gwen said.

Ben still didn't reply as he lies on his bed with his face down.

[Ah. I hate to admit this. But she is right.] Ben thought.

He knew that he almost stepped into the darkness because he was afraid of Animo. Animo's true potential so to speak.

What Animo might be able to do in the future if he just let him live.

"Even the lowest forms of beings deserve a second chance. And I am sure that the creator of the watch that you are wearing probably would not want the device that he created to become a tool for murder." Max said.

Ben didn't reply because he knew what Grandpa Max saying might be right.

However, he also believes that killing off dangerous beings like Animo might be necessary if he wanted to make sure that his loved ones can live in peace.

"But I need to kill him so that he won't be able to harm anyone in the future. It's not like I can just throw him into another dimension," Ben said.

"Well..... There is something that we can do about that." Max said.

Max walked away from Ben and started to look for something.

"I might still have his number here somewhere," Max said.

"Grandpa. What are you searching for?" Gwen asked.

"I am searching for a number of my old friend that might be still on Earth," Max said.

"To ask him if he still has a null void projector," Max said.

"I could go and get it from Mount Rushmore but I think it would be better if we can set up a meeting. After all, he might be able to give out advice to Ben," Max said.

"Grandpa Max, when you are talking about Phil are you talking about Phillip Billings?" Gwen asked.

"Huh? Do you know him?" Grandpa Max said.

"Well," Gwen said as she searches through the internet with her computer.

"He seems to be operating as a mercenary on alien-related tasks. See he even has a website." Gwen said as she shows the website that Phil own.

The image of the tall grey hair man with white highlights on his hair made Max smile.

"That's him alright. It seems that he still can't let go of his glory days." Max said while reminiscing about his old days with Phil.

"Hmm. The place where the office he is currently at is not very far from us." Gwen said.

--------------------

At that time in a maximum security prison on earth.

Animo who miraculously survived Ben's attack opened his eyes and noticed that he was in a cell guarded by two heavy arms guards.

The upper part of the heart was now a glass tube filled with strange liquids revealing his brain as a whole.

"Who are you? Where am I? Let go of me immediately. Don't you know I am Dr Animo? The greatest scientist in the world." Animo said to the two guards.

Animo was in this situation because of Max Tennyson.

Max was a Plumber. An organization that is founded by George Washington, a former president.

This means that Plumbers are connected to the government at least to some degree.

Although Plumbers don't directly work under the government they are still an organization that has a very positive relationship with them.

So Max who worked as a Plumber was able to connect with authorities to warn about what Animo did directly and how dangerous he is.

This causes Animo to become the most dangerous criminal on earth and to be put in the maximum security prison.

"That guy. That flame guy. I swear when I get out of here I am going to kill you. Hahahahahahehehehehe." Animo yelled out as he started to think about Ben in his heat blast form.

The small yellow bird that almost Gwen was looking at the prison from the outside as it landed on top of the fence from the prison. Before getting electrocuted a few seconds after.

It would still be some time before Animo was able to break out.
