For the past few nights Ben has been helping Hekapoo close up Star's portals however she didn't know that Star was to one making them. One day when Ben meet up with Hekapoo.
"Good your here." said Hekapoo
"So ready to go?" asked Ben
"Yeah, just so you know this one is big so hired someone to help us."
"What! Who?"
"Talen Raven Talen."
"Who's Talen Raven Talen?"
I'm Talen Raven Talen." said a bird creature wearing sunglasses and on a dragon cycle.
"Hekapoo we don't need him."
"We might." said Hekapoo
"What do you mean?"
"We don't ask question! We ride!" Talen interrupted
"I'll tell you on the way." said Hekapoo. She opened a portal and rode with Talen through it. Ben turned into Jetray and followed them.
"So why do you think we are going to need the help?" asked Ben
"Were going to close up these portals for good."
"Wait! What?" They landed down on the ground.
"There a pattern to where these portals have been opening. And the next one should open up right over there. What ever comes out of it. Where taking it down."
"Yeah! With this!" said Talen. Then reveling a harpoon.
"Doesn't this look like overkill?" asked Ben
"Talen likes overkill!" said Talen
"Hekapoo can we talk?" Ben and Hekapoo went out of ear shot of Talen. "Hekapoo doesn't this seem extreme?"
"Look it's my job to stop whatever come out of that portal."
"You got trust me."
"Its not about trust. It's about doing my job." Then the portal opened up and they saw something come out. "Here it comes!"
Talen started to aim the harpoon. "No!" Ben fired a eye beam at Talen sending him away from the Harpoon.
"Ben! What are you doing?"
"I have my reasons. You got to stop this." Talen's sunglasses broke. He tried to attack Ben but he kept missing.
"As I told you before it's my job." Hekapoo looked through the scope on the harpoon to take aim. Then she noticed it was Star and her eye shrank. "Star!"
Talen just gave up because he thought Ben was just being a cowered. He pushed Hekapoo out of the way because she wouldn't fire. "I love harpoons." said Talen
"No! You ideate." Then Talen fire the Harpoon. Hekapoo was about to take the dragon cycle to stop it but Ben flew and grabbed the spear and wrapped the rope attached to the harpoon around Talen. Ben landed and returned back to normal. Then soon Star opened another portal and entered it.
"Well that was close." said Ben
"Wait! You knew! You knew that Star was the one opening these portals and you didn't tell me."
"Well you didn't ask. Besides here me out."
"I'm reporting this to the High Commission."
"It's true I didn't tell you about Star. But please don't report this. Star needs to figure out her new power."
"Do you know how dangerous that is?"
"It's not as dangerous then giving a 10 year old the most powerful device in the universe. Anyway she need to figure this out. And I'll be there to make sure she is safe. Doesn't Star deserves a shot at this."
"NO!"
"Pretty Please." said Ben sounding like his older voice.
Hekapoo started to groan. "Fine I won't tell the High Commission. But she better figure this out fast or I might have to let them know. As here you might need this." Hekapoo tossed him the map she was using to track Star. "She's lucky to have a boyfriend like you." Hekapoo then left.
Then Ben headed back to Earth. He was in Star's room to check on here. This surprised Star for a second but she soon relived who it was. But not till after she blasted him. The blast was a goo blast.
"Oh sorry about. What are you doing in her anyway?" asked Star
"I just wanted to check on you." said Ben
"Oh because of the whole butterfly thing. That's sweet."
"Also I have to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"I been recently helping Hekapoo close your portals."
"Wait! Your telling me I haven't been closing them." Ben shook his head. "Does Hekapoo know."
"Not at first. But she knows now."
"Oh boy. Is she going to tell anyone?"
"No. I got her to keep it a secret for now. But I don't know for how long. So the faster we fix this, then more likely she will keep it a secret." Ben pulled out the map Ben got from Hekapoo and showed it to Star.
"What is this?"
"I think it's where you are heading."
Then they got a call from Gwen that they got a lead on Aggregor.
