It happened
"Ow, what the—!" Ben shrieked as he landed on the ground, his bottom stung in pain. He picked himself up and dusted his clothes.
"Are you okay Ben?"
Ben turned to face a tall, slender man who wore dark blue and black armour equipped with metal utility pockets on the waist, thighs, calves and forearms. Rook Blonko was a close friend of his and a partner whenever they were at work. He is not human, but he is sapient, sentient and sophont, exceedingly intelligent and a close friend of his.
"Yeah, I'm okay," said Ben. "You?"
"I am fine Ben," Rook calmly replied as he glanced at him for a few short times before he looked around again as he kept his guard up.
Ben examined the place once more. He and Rook were in an extremely large foyer, coloured only in white paint and dimly lit up by an unknown light source. Along two walls opposite to each other were walkways that hung above ground floor and many others hung atop another that seemingly went up to infinity.
The levels had to end at some point he thought.
Each level had black doors lined up and stood opposite to the doors on the other side. There were lifts and staircases that led to each floor, though he doubted anyone would use the stairs for obvious reasons.
"Try not to provoke someone with that," Ben quietly spoke. Rook took the advice and lowered the ranged weapon in his hands.
True to Ben's words that they were not alone. Other people were in the foyer, most being human while some were of a different intelligent species, both dressed in different varieties of clothing that represented their personality or ethnic groups. Everyone was awestruck by the huge place they ended up in, though some remained calm and collected while others screamed in anger and panic. Mostly panic.
The adrenaline dissipate, and Ben now felt the cold, chilly atmosphere he stood in. He did not know if Rook was affected as his body was covered in fur.
"Ben!"
"Rook!"
Voices that screamed for Ben and his partner's names caught their attention, and both spun around to see a few familiar faces that sprinted towards them.
"Gwen, Kevin, Grandpa Max, you're here!" Ben called out their names in surprise.
"Yep, we were teleported here just as you guys were," Kevin responded casually.
"How have you guys been?" Gwen asked, a little bit worried considering their situation.
"We are doing fine Miss Tennyson," Rook spoke formally.
"Speak for yourself, what happened to you?" Ben frowned at his cousin's dishevelled state, her orange hair frizzy and her green eyes that held dark bags underneath it.
And when was the last time she wore those clothes?
"I just woke up," Gwen told him. "And now I'm in my outdoor clothes, ones I don't even wear anymore."
True to her words, she was dressed in a white shirt under a red sweater, black stockings under a black mini skirt, and black high heels, clothes she has not worn in over a year.
"Yeah that's a little bit strange," Kevin checked his clothes again, his black T-shirt over his grey long sleeve shirt, his blue pants and his black combat shoes. Like Gwen, Kevin did not wear this set of clothes for a while and his face also looked a little unkempt.
"So, any ideas on where we are right now?" Ben wondered.
"It looks like we're in a hotel of some kind," his grandfather Max believed.
"And we're not the only ones here," Kevin pointed out the obvious.
"No kidding sherlock," Ben murmured.
Rook raised his weapon and at a press of a button, transformed the ranged weapon into a map.
Shortly after, his face contorted in confusion. "Strange, I cannot pinpoint our current location."
"Well whatever this place is, I can sense a lot of mana here," said Gwen. "I can even feel the mana without even concentrating on it."
"Is it like Ledgerdomain?" Kevin asked.
"No, it's a lot more powerful here," Gwen stated.
As everyone in the 'hotel' became aware of the situation and conversed with those they were familiar with, Ben spotted someone far off in the distance. His green eyes widened in surprise as he had not seen 'him' in a while, a very distant friend of his, and this could possibly be the only chance he could see him again.
His distant friend noticed the green eyes that stared at him, and he looked back with wide brown eyes, just as astounded as he was. The boy was of the same age as he was, his black hair brushed back by his brown motorcycle goggles. He still wore his red jacket, with orange horizontal stripes on his sleeves, over his T-shirt, top half navy blue and bottom being white, and his black jeans and shoes.
The others with the boy looked to his direction and most of them also developed surprised faces.
Before they acted, a loud, booming roar startled him and everyone in the foyer. They all turned to see a muscular, green giant in purple shorts as he charged toward a man who wore silver plated armour and a dark green cloak.
"Hulk! Wait!" A well-built man in a blue Kevlar and spandex like suit tried to stop the green giant, but to no avail.
The Hulk attempted to tackle the man in silver armour who was a quarter his size, but before he could, he was quickly teleported away from his target. The instantaneous movement left many perplexed.
"Please do not do that."
The dim light vanished, and a single spotlight appeared. The recently assembled people faced towards the spotlight which shone over someone who wore a dark green robe and cloak, head lowered to hide half a face. The Hulk glared in rage, not too pleased with being restrained.
"I advise that everyone shall not harm one another, or more accurately, insist," said the entity, loudly for everyone to hear.
A sturdy man dressed in black and grey armour with a red cape attached asked, "Who are thee strange one?" He stood at almost the same height as the Hulk.
"I am referred to by many names but for now, everyone shall address me as Omni," The entity replied.
"Alright Omni, why did you teleport us here?" a middle-aged woman in a red skin-tight suit questioned in exasperation.
"I have teleported you all here to view an animated film about the life of six individuals during a…magnificent event in the near future," Omni explained.
"And who are these individuals you speak of?" the man in silver armour spoke up. "Doom demands to know?"
Omni kept still, not at all bothered by the tone of the primitive creature (primitive compared to vim of course).
"Is it about the Avengers?" an android in a green jumpsuit asked.
"It is not about the Avengers." Omni looked up. "It is about these six."
Omni disappeared as well as the spotlight did, now replaced by six different coloured spotlights that shone over the six individuals. Every person laid their eyes on the six in an awkward silence, making some of them feel very uncomfortable.
Ben was one of the six, as well as his distant friend that stood far from him.
Despite the absence, the people still heard Omni's voice. "Now you shall have a moment to meet up with those you know of and to introduce yourselves to others."
Many eyes were still on the six while some gradually returned to their conversations. Soon everyone spoke once more, and some even ran to meet up with others.

Rex could not believe what he saw, even when he stared and step towards the boy with green eyes. They remembered one another as their eyes connected, that meant both of them were not copies and complete strangers to the other.
His small steps turned to a walk, then the walking turned into a jog, then into a run, then a sprint as he drowned out the calls from his friends. He only focused on the boy in green and white shoes, brown cargo pants with pockets at the knees, and a black T-shirt with a green stripe in the middle with a white 10 and green stripes on the sides of his shirt.
Their eyes had met, but he still wanted to be sure.
"Ben!" He shouted and slowed his pace in hesitation as he waited for the response he wanted to hear, to make sure that it was him. The yell, he could not help it, he was filled with exuberance that waited to spill out like water that seeped through a badly cracked dam as it slowly fell apart.
"Rex!" Ben replied as he grinned in ebullience.
It really was him, the same Ben Tennyson he had only met for a short yet eventful period of time.
"It's so good to see you again!" Rex shook hands with Ben. "How's it hanging monster guy?"
"Pretty good Robot Kid, fighting bad guys, saving the universe, you know the usual," Ben replied.
It was only about a year ago that they met, though the fact that they lived in two completely different universes made their reunion felt like they had not seen each other for a long, long time. The two were ridiculously lucky as well as seeing that there was an infinity number of timelines in both universes and despite the odds, they still met up with the same person.
With the little help of an all-powerful being of course.
Just as they have, their families and friends met up with each other.
"Ben, who are these people?" Rook asked, his ranged weapon armed as he exercised prudence.
"I was wondering the same thing," a man in a white armoured battlesuit frowned. "Identified yourself?"
"You first," Rook ordered sternly.
"Rook stand down," Max commanded.
Ben and Rex stepped in between the two who were on edge, their hands raised to halt them in place.
"Easy Rook, it's fine, they're good!"
"They're friends of his and he's a distant friend of ours!"
The man in the battlesuit remained cautious.
"Really?" Rook lowered his weapon. "I do not recall you mentioning anyone looking like them during out time together."
"Yeah since you never asked, I didn't mention the story where I was sent to another universe through a giant portal in the sky," Ben sheepishly smiled.
"Ohh, so these are—"
"Giant portal? Wait, Rex?" Kevin suddenly interrupted. "As in the guy you supposedly met in another universe?"
"The one and only," Rex spoke up, his chest puffed out in pride.
"Technically speaking, you're not the only one as there is an infinite number of timelines, assuming the theory is correct," Caesar pointed out.
"It's correct alright," Ben confirmed, much to Caesar's fascination.
Rex drooped in annoyance. "Way to ruin the moment."
"So these are your distant friends of yours?" Max asked Ben.
"You could say that," grunted the man in the white battlesuit so he could gain Max's attention. "You can call me White Knight."
"Makes sense," Kevin muttered as he glanced at the suit.
"Maxwell," Max replied with his full first name.
"I'm Gwen, nice to meet you," Gwen introduced herself to a woman with light green eyes and black hair, half of the bundle held in a topknot bun.
"Doctor Rebecca Holiday, a pleasure," the woman in the lab coat and grey skirt replied.
"The name's Agent Six," a man with shaven hair and a triangle soul patch spoke.
"Kevin Levin," Kevin replied (barely audible) to the man that also sported sunglasses.
"And I'm Bobo! Great, we've all shared our names!" a chimpanzee sounded off. "Nice Hawaiian shirt by the way."
"Uh thank you," Max smiled at the compliment to his red-buttoned up Hawaiian shirt.
"I have not yet shared my name," Rook spoke up, earning a pair of narrowed eyes from the chimpanzee that wore a vest and shorts. "I am Rook Blonko, nice to wait…since when do Earth chimpanzees speak?"
"Since now," Bobo frowned.
Once the introductions were done, both groups engaged in small talk and exchanged stories of great and dangerous adventures all of them went through.

Korra paid no attention to the world she stood in, to the people that stood nearby and only focused on the powerful spiritual energy around her. A few places she knew of on her world were high in spiritual energy but nothing on this magnitude. In those places, she needed to meditate and focus on such energy yet here the feeling was present even if she chose to ignore it.
So when she did concentrate, she could not help but drop her jaw and open her eyes wide (that glowed white) at the overstimulation and warmth as spiritual energy rushed through her entire body. This feeling was foreign to her, uncanny, uncomfortable, something she should need to get used to.
"Korra are you okay?"
She turned towards a worried elderly man dressed in a red cloak wrapped around his red vest that covered his yellow shirt, red pants and grey shoes that reached over his shins and knees.
Her friends, Mako, Bolin and Asami, also showed concern on their faces.
The white glow of her eyes dissipated and left behind cyan eyes.
"Yeah, it's just the spiritual energy around me," Korra spoke quietly to Tenzin. "It's so powerful."
"I know Korra," Tenzin nodded. "I can feel it too."
"You guys I understand but how is it that we can feel it too?" Mako wondered.
"It could be something to do with that guy who brought us here," Asami thought.
"Or it could be natural for this place to have so much spiritual energy," Tenzin believed.
"Really, a hotel has that much spiritual energy?" Bolin raised an eyebrow. "Well I think it's a hotel."
"How accurate you all are."
All five were startled by the voice of Omni as they all turned to face the figure once more.
"Mind giving us a warning next time?" Mako shouted in irritation.
"Forgive the sudden intrusion though I needed to discuss with you of something you are experiencing," said Omni and looked over all of them. "What you all feel is the immense power of the Cosmic Force. The spiritual energy of your universe and the cosmic force of this realm are one of the same. Every society, every nation, every species possess a different name for the Cosmic Force. It exists throughout the whole omniverse, an infinite expansion of existence and nonexistence, ever eternal."
"Wow," Bolin uttered out.
"Incredible," Tenzin whispered in awe.
Omni turned to face the brown skin coloured woman with cyan eyes. "If you believe that meditating was overwhelming Korra, then entering the Avatar State would surely be extremely uncomfortable to the point of being painful. I suggest you should not attempt such a feat unless in a controlled environment and under proper supervision."
"Okay, sure," Korra took the advice.
"Wait, that wasn't the Avatar State she was in?" Asami spoke as she referred to Korra's eyes that glowed white for a moment.
"No it is not," Omni replied. "Oh and do note, what I said before also applies to your elemental powers as the Cosmic Force is where you draw your powers from. The higher the connection the Cosmic Force has on the universe or realm, the stronger any Cosmic Force based power is."
"Exactly how higher of a connection is the Cosmic Force to here than to our world?" Tenzin asked.
"By about a magnitude of a 100000." Omni smiled at their surprised reactions.
"That is a lot of power," said Bolin, dumbfounded.
"In actuality the connection of the Cosmic Force to my realm is considered average at best," Omni grinned even more at their astounded faces. "There are many other universes and realms with connections so high to the Cosmic Force that even a simple energy orb attack could destroy entire Earth sized planets."
The omnipotent being chuckled at the statement that surely would have broken their minds, unable to comprehend such realities that existed.

"So, the events happening in the movie is three years from our time?" Phineas clarified. To have someone tell you that there is an animated film about him and his family and friends' lives in three years is a little crazy…
…and admittedly a little awesome.
"Precisely." Omni seemed amused of Phineas' head which was shaped like a triangle, accompanied with a pointy nose. To most it would be unimaginable that this boy with spiky, deep red hair and blue eyes could live a normal life with no disability whatsoever with a head like that.
To Omni however, this was just the result of his father's genetics.
"…cool. So what do you think we'll be doing in the movie?" Phineas looked to his stepbrother and smirked.
Ferb shrugged and stared back at Phineas with his blue eyes as he was not one to talk often. He also had a strangely shaped head like his stepbrother, though his was shaped like a rectangle, accompanied with a cubical nose and thick, scruffy, green hair that made him look like the letter 'F'.
"Uh Omni, are those…clones?" a tall girl with flowy orange hair and an unusually long neck pointed at someone. Candace, a teenager being used to her brothers' Big Ideas, remained calm and composed, like a leader she always wanted to be.
The group of kids stared wide eyed at the exact copy of Omni who spoke with the Avengers. There was another, and another, and a few more with other groups in the foyer. Those that were left to their own stared at the clones with as much confusion as they had.
"Why yes those are clones of me," Omni spoke calmly. "Exact replicas of myself, in body and spirit, right down to the same number of electrons."
"I find this hard to believe," said Buford, a huge, strong, American boy.
"Who even made the film?" asked Baljeet, a short, intelligent, South Indian boy.
"The film was created by me," Omni answered back.
For a moment, the group could only look and blink at Omni.
"…what?" Buford broke the silence.
"I am the one who created the film," Omni claimed. "Though technically I am the one who put the film together, while the author is the one who created the storyline."
Baljeet raised an eyebrow. "The author?"
"The author is an extradimensional being who exists in a dimension many times higher than the one I reside in," Omni explained. "Do not think too much of him. He is not one to socialize that often."
"Okay…this will be…interesting," said Isabella, a beautiful, Jewish-Mexican girl, still stunned by Omni's words. Six other girls behind her shared the same expression on their faces.
No one else said anything, yet Omni still remained as if the omnipotent being knew someone will say something. It seemed the entity was right as Candace gasped just as she realized something that would make her life much easier. She giggled madly at the plan she had formulated.
"Can you bring my mum here?" Candace begged Omni, despite the nagging thought that told her that her mother Linda would not be joining them. After all, if they were brought here to watch a film, why was her mum not teleported at the same time as she was.
"I will not do that simply because she plays no important role in this film," Omni replied. "You are just gonna have to try to sit through the painful thought of finally 'busting your brothers'."
"But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but—"
"I believe that would be all." Omni vanished into thin air, knowing ve was done with the group.
Phineas heard the sound of chattering teeth and looked down to see his and his brother's companion animal, covered in greenish-teal fur, had a bill and webbed feet like a duck, a tail like a beaver, and a body like an otter.
"I wonder what Perry has to do with the movie?" Phineas thought.
Everyone looked down at Perry, Phineas and Ferb's pet platypus. The platypus chattered its teeth again.

"I am omnipotent and aware of your presence, something you already know reader," Omni spoke to you. "Do be aware that the author will use ve, vim and vis to identify people who lack genitals or are hermaphrodites. Homo Sapiens may have two distinctive genders but people of other species may possess both sexual organs or none at all, whether it be a natural condition for a species or biologically engineered. Informal writing perhaps but the only means of writing this story it is."

"And do not worry of Victor von Doom, I will keep an eye on him while you can enjoy the film Avengers," Omni assured.
Just then, someone tapped Omni on the shoulder, and the entity spun around and saw one of the six main protagonists of the film. Ve stood at 2.3m in height, though that could just be the huge dark green battlesuit ve wore. The all-powerful being signalled to the Avengers that they could leave, and the group did as they pleased.
"Zaxx, it is nice to meet you directly in person, though I suggest you have your artificial intelligence translate your words to English while you are here," Omni advised. "It will be a lot easier for everyone to understand, including the readers."
Silence proceeded after as the person accoutred in the green battlesuit stood there, vis emotions sealed away behind vis faceplate.
"…the readers?" Zaxx finally spoke, vis artificial intelligence (AI) altering vis voice.
"You might not be able to comprehend th—" Omni tried to speak but was interrupted.
"You know what ignore it," Zaxx spoke up. "I just need your word that you are capable of keeping the Dragalexes in check, especially the Vario Karfers and—."
"I assure you I possess the power to incarcerate the four if necessary." Omni turned and Zaxx's gaze followed to see four, grey skin coloured people at the other side of the room, covered in armour of different shades. Besides the green giant, the Dragalexes stood taller than all, with one being the largest there is. What distinguished them from the rest of the people were the uppermost part of their humanoid bodies. Their faces were nearly flat, a little curved and had a small, bony, frill like structure that hung on the side and top. Thick, short spikes protruded from the edges of the frill in bilateral symmetrical order.
One of them, the shortest of the four who wore pitch black armour, noticed that Omni and Zaxx glared at them. The shortest who stood just a few centimetres taller than Zaxx notified the largest of the four. The leader shook vis head in response, and the group returned Zaxx's glare with a threatening look.
"How did you acquire my name?" Zaxx asked in alert, turning back to Omni.
"I know your name because I know all in the past, present and future, I see everything and nothing when I wish too, I. Am. Omnipotent." Omni gestured to the four. "And the Dragalexes are here to watch the film as everyone else is."
"Is containment possible when needed, considering the connection of the Vajerak to this realm is exceptionally high?"
"I overpowered their teleportation negation, I believe the act alone proves I am well capable of preventing any incident caused by the Dragalexes," Omni believed, confident in vis power. "Would that be all?"
"No," Zaxx motioned vis hand to someone at the other side of the foyer. "Why bring the boy here to show him a secret that would—."
"The truth will hurt the boy, that I can only tell," Omni softly spoke, "But he will learn to live with the truth and in time will become something greater, surpassing you even. Be assured, everything will play out smoothly, I am aware of the future after all."
Omni turned vis attention towards vis audience, leaving Zaxx to vis thoughts.
"Okay, I believe you had enough time to chat among yourselves, so can everyone proceed to the cinema that is beyond those doors," Omni referred to the massive sliding doors behind vim that stood over four storeys tall.
"How did we not notice that?" a man in a lab coat wondered.
"And as I stated before, I 'insist' that you shall not harm one another," Omni ordered. "I know a few of you dislike certain individuals in this room, but in order for this to work I need your compliance."
Those small few Omni referred to mumbled in response, but reluctantly agreed to vis wishes.
"Also, your seats have been chosen by me just to let you know. You will locate them by hearing a voice in your mind that would direct you to your seat," Omni then opened the gigantic doors psychokinetically. "Now, to the cinema my audience!"
Everyone complied and entered the cinema, then stopped to see a man who stood in their way. He looked like in his 40s and wore a steampunk style lab coat.
"Paradox!" Ben shouted in surprise.
"Paradox," Zaxx spoke his name at the same time as Ben.
Gwen and Kevin looked at Zaxx for a moment. Ben ignored vim, simply because he did not hear vis voice over his own.
Paradox smiled. "Ben, Gwen, Kevin, Zaxx, nice to see you all."
Ben responded with a smile of his own…
"You know him?" Gwen asked.
"Yes," Zaxx replied.
Kevin raised an eyebrow. "Since when?"
"That is confidential information."
"Paradox, just as I predicted you would show up." Omni smirked. "Care to join us?"
"Well I can't really stop you, so I might as well join you," Paradox replied. "Though I do advise that you—"
"Return them to their universes, in the exact time and place at where I have taken them from, without any knowledge of this, that I shall do time walker."
"Wait, wait, wait, if you return us back to our universes without any memory of this, then what's the point of all this?" a scientist in a lab coat asked.
"All of this is just entertainment for me." The smug look on Omni's face struck a nerve in half the people there. A little reluctant, the audience entered the cinema and searched for their seats. The chairs were first class (how lucky), arranged into 20 seats per row. There were 15 rows. Everybody went to look for their seats except for one. Soon, the cinema was filled to the edge. Some disagreed with their current seating, others felt comfortable with their positions, and the rest did not care so much.
When all was ready, Omni played the film.
I do ask for comments for I am improving my writing skills.
