General plot suggested by Wolfpelt13 from DA - thanks for helping me to get going even if it still took a while. :D

Description : The Forever King decides to finish the job that Albedo started while they were in California. The task is turned over to Forever Knights' Scientist and Director of Technology, Dr. Joseph Chadwick. Impressed with Ben's friends' skills, but sure they would be easier to capture than Ben, he sent Sir Morton and a team of twelve Knights to kidnap Kevin and Gwen so they can use them to defeat Ben and get the Omnitrix.
Warnings - mild language, violence so far

At the conclusion of part 12.
When they got home, and Julie and Ben were alone in his room, Ben was worried and told Julie that he didnt want to see her anymore because it was dangerous for her. She ignored him and gave him a kiss, and a hickey. Kevin in a wishy-washy way, proposed to Gwen. They said their goodbyes to Dr. Joe Bracket and his dog, Plumber and separated to get some rest.

The lean teen, even leaner after his last adventure, let himself fall back on the bed in only his boxers. The sudden movement caused a mildly painful ache in his chest and he thoughtfully covered the bandaged wound with his hands. I think they aren't really telling me what happened in the operating room. I must have come very close to dying. They all fought so bravely to save me - some hero I am. Ben shuddered and actually felt a stress induced pain in his stomach too. Gwen told him that Dr. Joe, Kevin and Julie acted quickly to take care of him and stop Albedo from doing anymore damage. I owe Gwen and all of them my life. To think, even with all their help and them risking their lives to stop him, Albedo still managed to stab me in the chest while I was already helpless on the operating table, oh man that was too scary. I guess it was lucky for me I was already deep asleep under the anesthetic, but then again, if I wasn't helpless like that, perhaps I could have stopped Albedo right then!
Julie. The image of her smiling face flashed through his mind. He wish
