Chapter 1: lost brother

I don't own Ben ten

Max and his 11 year old grandchildren are in the Rust Bucket driving in a desert when they spotted a black glow in the distance, they quickly drove to where they saw the glow and found a crater as well a person inside.

They rush over to the unconscious person Max realize who it is, his youngest grandson Owen, now he was growing concern since his results looking for the boy had only led him to believe he was dead.

"He might be around the same age as me and Ben." Gwen pounder.

"That and the odd watch he's wearing, it looks like the Omnitrix?" Ben question.

"Let's get him in the RV." Max spoke.

"Good idea." Ben replied.

Once inside the Rust bucket, Max starts to think of how could it be possible for Owen to be alive and here right in front of them.

The unconscious kid slowly started to wake up and look around and he sees three strangers and runs into a corner in fear with his hand above his watch.

"It's alright you're among friends, so can you please tell us your name?" Gwen asked.

"It's O...Owen" Owen said.

"Poor kid is scare, why don't you two try to get him to relax." Max said as he move to the driver seat.

"Is there anyone we can call so we can get you back home?" Ben asked.

"Afraid not." came Owen replied.

"Why?" Gwen asked with concern in her voice.

"I was taken from them when I just a baby, as I was told by my mentor/adoptive father." Owen explained.

"Well you can stay with us until your mentor comes to get you." Gwen said.

"No it alright I don't want to be a burden." Owen said.

"Nonsense now get some rest, Ben and Gwen can I need to have a word with you.

'Why do they feel so familiar?' thought Owen while Max, Gwen and Ben left the cabin to let Owen get some rest.

"Gwen, Ben that kid is our family member it just he doesn't know or remember who we are to him and I thought we had lost him 10 years ago." said Max.

"What happen to him?" Gwen asked.

"He was taken by an alien for reasons we do not know." Max said who is still confuse on how is his last grandchild was still alive.

"Whoa so is he my brother or Gwen's?" Ben asked.

"Gwen's, but he's a year younger than both of you." Max stated.

"Wait if he a year younger than us, why doesn't Ben or me remember him?" Gwen asked confused.

"You were too young to remember anything." said Max.

Max then starts up the rv up and drove off to look for a hotel.

"So Gwen what do you think we should trust him?" Ben asked.

"I think we can after all he's part of our family." Gwen replied.

"Did you see how he reacted when he look at us after he woke up, that he went to a corner in fear and I notice that he had his hand over his watch like me when I'm getting ready for a fight." Ben stated.

"I did, do you think his watch is like the Omnitrix?" Gwen question.

"I have some ideas." Ben replied

Then Owen walk out of the room.

"Can you drop me off at the nearest bus station please?" Owen asked.

"Why?" Gwen asked.

"Because when you find out what I can do, you will start to think of me as a freak." Owen asked.

"Not true, I can never think of my own brother as a freak." Gwen said.

"Brother?" Owen asked confused.

"Yes grandpa knows who you are and it seems you don't remember us." said Gwen as tears start fall.

'That why they felt so familiar.' thought Owen.

"So I'm your brother?" Owen asked still confused.

"Yes and I'm your older sister by a year." Gwen replied.

"And I'm your cousin also older than you by a year." Ben spoke.

"How could I not remember my own brother." cries Gwen.

"It's not your fault Gwen." said Owen.

"Yes it is." cry Gwen.

"Enough Gwen." said Owen with a slight anger in his voice.

Owen then notice the tears in Gwen eyes.

"Look it's not your fault, you were too young to remember me and besides I'm no different and I can't stay because of my powers." Owen said.

"So what." Ben said.

"Yeah Ben and I have powers too." said Gwen.

"Yeah I get mine from this device on my arm that call the Omnitrix that allows me to change into different kinds of aliens and Gwen get hers from magic and what are yours" Ben explained.

"This device on my arm call the Zeromatrix allows me to change into aliens much like your Omnitrix, my mentor got it for me so I can defend myself." Owen explained, "So why are the three of you on the road?"

"Ben and I live with Grandpa Max because of our powers, so we chose to travel and Grandpa Homeschool us and our parents let us thinking that it could be good for the both of us, we take down whatever villain that we come across as we travel." Gwen explained.

"So you're traveling superheroes." Owen sum up getting from the two.

Then the Rust Bucket came to a sudden stop.

"Kids we have trouble." came Max voice.

"Kevin." Ben said with anger.

Then Ben got out of the RV and went into Heatblast and started to fight with Kevin.

"It's butt kicking time." Owen call out.

Owen and Gwen ran out of the Rv when they got out Heatblast was sent flying towards them and Owen grabbed Gwen and got out of the way.

Owen then got in the way of Kevin so he can't go after Ben then he slam his hand on his watch and became Diamond Head.

Gwen went to her brother side with her hands glowing pinkish blue as Owen shot a barrage of shards at Kevin which he counter with a shot of a Diamondhead spike at Owen forehead causing him to stumble back from the hit then Gwen rush over to her brother but Kevin grab her by the neck then Heatblast got back up and charge at Kevin but the Omnitrix time out.

Kevin shot a fire blast at him and Ben close his eyes waiting for the attack but it didn't come when he open his eyes and sees that Owen taking the hit for him.

"Are you ok Ben?" Owen asked over his shoulder.

Ben nods his head "Yeah."

Then Owen notice that Kevin has Gwen by the neck then Owen charge at Kevin and punch him in the face then grab his arm that was holding Gwen and force him to let go of her.

"Ben get Gwen!" yelled Owen

Owen walk over to Kevin with diamond blade at his face when he brought his arm up, he was to strike at him but was stop by Grandpa Max grabbing his arm.

"Let go of me." Owen said with venom in his voice.

"No we don't kill living beings." Max said sternly.

"And he can't go on anymore." Ben spoke.

"Owen no need to kill Kevin." Gwen said scare that her little brother would kill just to protect his family.

"He hurt you and Ben, he has to go." Owen said.

"Then that will make you the bad guy do you want people hating you like they do to Kevin." Gwen said.

"No." said Owen.

Then the Zeromatrix timeout.

"Good now let get back to the RV and head for a hotel." Max spoke.

They got in the RV and went to the hotel.

"So you have the same aliens as I do?" Ben question.

"I don't know." Owen said.

They reach the hotel and a purple light appeared in front of them then the light was gone and in its place was Verdona in her human form.
