Description Still in with 's story!

After Ben's ordeal which kinda wipes him of everything except pulse (Fusion Prey , Hero vs Plutonium , and the much older sketch Destroyed ), he's left in the hands of two particularly not "sit by and watch" type KND operatives. The poor boys, while being stuck at the base of a cliff, proceed to watch as one of their teammates blows up their airship---you know what, just read!

Snippet:
Together they stared at the granite cliff, straining their necks back to see as a low, dull roar rose above the howl of rain and wind. The sound grew louder and the pitch climbed until it sounded like an endless, wavering screech.

"That's the aeroship," breathed Number One.

"What?" Wally clapped a hand to his head, and in his excitement he completely forgot how badly he had burned his hands. "Ow! What is Number Two up to?"

The leader of Sector V shook his head even though Wally wasn't looking his way. "The engine is overloading."

"Is he barking? It'll blow up!"

"Unless that's Number Two's plan. I hope," he added uncertainly. "At least, I think I hope."

To be this far removed from the action was nothing short of torture, and both boys were desperate to know what was happening atop the cliff. They shifted anxiously. They were used to doing - watching and waiting went against their every instinct.

They gasped in unison as a wide streak of white light shot off the cliff. Number Four slapped his night vision goggles off his eyes with a shout of pain. Dazzling against the storm clouds, they watched in fascinated horror as the silvery aeroship arched across the sky. An instant later the April X-0 exploded with all the force and fury of a thousand rockets, ripping herself apart from the inside out in a climax of noise and light and energy.

From chapter 21

Love their expressions! They SO don't want to be stuck on the ground watching!
