What's up, everyone! This is GKC here bringing you a new crossover story between the popular Ben 10 and Fairy Tail.
Quick summary: Ben Tennyson saves the universe once again and has grown bored. However, Professor Paradox approaches him and informs the shapeshifter that another world is in dire need of his assistance. Ben accepts and gets sent to the world of Earthland. However, not only does he meet wizards and evil monsters but he also meets an Omnitrix Wielder from an alternate dimension that isn't even him?
The Omnitrix Wielder is an original character from a different reality but, unlike Ben, has aliens that differ from the original DNA library in the Omnitrix. Also, he has a bit of a… health problem.
And before any of you even ask, the Ultimate Evolution function will be featured for both Ben and the OC.
Oh, and yes, there will be original aliens that can be developed by either you, the readers or on occasion, myself.
Now for the disclaimer: I do not own, except my OCs, Fairy Tail or Ben 10. All rights belong to their respective owners.
Now let's get this party started… BEGIN!
The Fairy Heroes
Chapter 1: New World, New Heroes
[Bellwood, USA]
You must be asking yourselves… are we alone in the universe?
CRASH!
The answer is no.
A groan escaped the lips of a seven-foot tall alien creature with a pale green masculine crystalline body and wearing an all-black bodysuit with one large green stripe down the middle up to his belt, and black pants. He had a green belt with white stripes on which he wore the Omnitrix symbol. The crystals on his back also grew in length. His jaw was also larger. He also wore black shoes with green on the bottom. Crystal spikes were present on his back, like 'wings'. His head had a noticeable slicked back spike and green eyes.
This is one of the many alien forms of the teen superhero, Ben 10: the Petrosapien, Diamondhead.
"That's gonna hurt in the morning," Diamondhead grunted as he pushed himself into a sitting position.
A malicious, yet annoying cackle echoed in the wind as one of Diamondhead's many archenemies arrived with a sickening smirk on his otherwise putrid face.
Dr. Animo, one of his most notorious, and perhaps his worst, as he was a genius that specialized in creating animal-based hybrids. And his most recent creation was a mix of a gorilla and a rhinoceros, with the horn on the face and the body of a gorilla, but the leathery hide of the rhino. A very deadly, if otherwise gross, combination.
Dr. Animo, himself, was a rather scrawny looking individual with green skin, shoulder-length white hair, and his brain was exposed in a large dome, with two antennae on it. He wears a long green lab coat, black fingerless gloves, and keeps his eyes covered with red goggles.
"Come now, Benjamin. Is that the best you can do?" The mad scientist taunted as his creation released a roar.
"Nah, I'm just getting warmed up." The Petrosapien popped his silicon-based neck. "Though you could've done a better job. I mean, seriously? A gorilla and a rhino?"
Dr. Animo growled to himself. In truth, he was capable of so much more. He just needed the time...
A time that he did not have when Diamondhead charged at his hybrid and delivered a powerful uppercut to its jaw, sending it flying in the air for a few seconds before it came down on the asphalt hard.
The alien hero whipped his hands. "Wow. Took it down in one hit." He remarked with a smirk on his face.
Animo growled to himself. This was not looking good. His monsters were always either beaten or taken down by his greatest enemy in less than five minutes. Five seconds in this case.
"Seriously, Animo," Diamondhead looked at the mad scientist with a bored expression. "Can't you give me a better challenge? I mean, how long have we done this dance?"
The madman was silent. "As long as I can say until I defeat you!" he growled. "You pea-brained child! You will never understand the genius that is I, Dr. Anim-" He never got to finish the rest of his rant when a crystalline knuckle struck him in the face, knocking him out cold.
"Yeah, yeah, save the speech for prison, buddy." The Petrosapien scoffed until a green glow encompassed him, turning him in a regular sixteen-year-old boy.
He has shaggy brown hair, green eyes, pale skin, and he's quite skinny for his age, though he shows a lot of muscle definition due to being athletic. He wears a black shirt that has a green stripe in the middle with a white 10 and green stripes on the sides of his shirt. A pair of brown cargo pants with pockets at the knees and green and white shoes. A white hooded jacket with green stripes on both arms and a green number 10 on the right side. Finally, there was a white and green wristwatch on his left arm with a black screen and green ridges in the shape of an hourglass.
This is the human form of Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, also known by his superhero name Ben 10 and the wielder of both the Omnitrix and the Ultimatrix.
Ben looked back at Dr. Animo as he was hauled off, his green eyes filled with disappointment. "Man… it's getting too easy…" he muttered.
[Later…]
After the police hauled off Animo for the umpteenth time, Ben decided to relax at his favorite hangout spot, Mr. Smoothies.
The alien hero sat at a bench with a plate of chili fries and a large blueberry-kiwi smoothie. As he munched on his food, he's been feeling nothing but pure boredom after he saved the entire multiverse and he became the hero of all known worlds. So far, none of his enemies or other bad guys have been able to give him the drive or the challenge that he wanted as a hero.
"Man, it's like everything just went into a super easy mode." The boy idly sipped from his smoothie. He sighed. "I just want more of a challenge or something…" he mused.
Kevin and Gwen were still in college so they couldn't be around. Rook was off visiting his family on his home planet. Grandpa Max was visiting Grandma Verdona. And all of his bigger league villains seemed to be on break as well.
"Is something wrong, Benjamin?" A familiar English-accent reached the Omnitrix Wielder's ears.
"Professor Paradox!?" The teen exclaimed in surprise.
The Time Walker smiled. "It has been a while, hasn't it?"
The boy smiled widely. "Well, the only time you're ever around is when a big 'end of the world' scenario starts playing." His eyes suddenly widened. "Is that why you're here! Please tell me the universe is in trouble again!"
"Well, not the universe, per se," Paradox said with an amused smile. "Though a world is in danger, Master Tennyson."
Ben looked at Paradox with his jaw dropped in silence… then said, "FINALLY!" He cheered with both arms up.
The Time-Walker arched a brow. "I beg your pardon?"
"Uh, I mean," Ben looked sheepish as he grinned up at the professor with a nervous grin. "Oh no! This is terrible?"
Paradox shook his head in amusement. "I forget how young you act at times, young Benjamin." He pulled out a small paper bag and offered it to Ben. "Gumball?"
The shapeshifter chuckled, "No, thanks. I'm good with these." He held up his chili fries. "So what's up, Doc?"
"Well, as I was saying, the world that I mentioned is fraught with danger. For one, aliens do not exist in this world. However, magic and monsters are quite common in it." Paradox explained after putting away his bag of gumballs. "In fact, you could say that the entire world is run by magic. You, in particular, would not be out of place in it due to your various alien transformations. I know that I am asking too much of you, but I have no other option."
"Hey, whatever kills the boredom. You save one multiverse, you save them all." Ben grinned. "Besides, I could use a change of scenery. But, uh, what'll happen here?"
"Worry not," The Time-Walker reassured the teen. "Once you've been sent to this new universe then time here will come to an abrupt standstill. While it may seem like you've been gone for either months or years, in this dimension, you won't be gone for more than a few milliseconds at best."
"Wow, that's actually pretty convenient… and awesome," The green-eyed boy grinned.
Paradox chuckled at the boy's enthusiasm. "And to make things fair. Once you've landed in the new world, your Omnitrix will be vastly updated."
"Really? Sweet! Any chance I can get the Ultimate function again?" Ben asked.
"All in good time, my young friend," The Englishman patted the teen on his shoulder. "Now, shall we get on with our trip?"
"Heck yeah! It is so Hero Time!" Ben said his usual catchphrase with excitement.
"Then off we go, lad." Paradox snapped his fingers and the two disappeared from Ben's dimension.
[Space-Time Continuum]
A flash of blue light erupted from a dark, empty corridor. Stepping out of a time portal was Professor Paradox and Ben Tennyson, the latter of the two looking around in confusion.
"Um… this place looks a little dark and gloomy to be a different world," The alien hero comments.
Paradox chuckles, "Patience, Master Tennyson. We are merely at the crossways of the Space-Time Continuum." He reached into his pocket with his prosthetic hand and pulled out his pocket watch.
"But why are we here?" Ben asked out of curiosity.
"We're simply waiting for an old friend of mine along with their own Omnitrix Wielder," The time walker clarified, getting a surprised gasp from Ben.
"Wait, seriously!? Another me is coming with… well, me?" The changeling inquired, stupefied.
A sly grin appeared on the Englishman's face. "In a manner of speaking…" He checked his watch once again. "In fact, they should be here right about… now."
Another flash of blue light erupted in the darkness, forcing Ben to shield his eyes from the bright rays while Paradox looked on with a grin. Once the light began to die down, Ben removed his arms from his sight as his eyes adjusted once more to get a better look at the newcomers. Once he got a good look, he gasped in surprise.
Emerging from a time portal was a beautiful woman of Japanese ancestry with long ebony black hair, warm chocolate brown eyes, and smooth tan skin. She had a voluptuous figure complete with large breasts, a well-rounded butt, womanly hips, and gorgeous legs. Unlike Paradox, who looked like a steampunk time traveler, the woman wore an outfit resembling a Japanese priestess (or Miko as Gwen mentioned) that had the top opened to reveal a generous portion of her cleavage, the kimono possessing a slit below to allow her beautiful legs to be shown, white tabi socks, and platform geta sandals.
"Paradox, it is good to see you again," The woman greeted in heavily-accented English as she bowed in greeting to the Englishman.
"It is lovely to see you as well, Amaterasu," Paradox greeted in kind with a smile. "I trust you've brought your ward?"
"Of course," Amaterasu replied with a bright smile before she glanced at Ben. "Oh, is this the famous Ben Tennyson you keep mentioning? Such a handsome young man."
Ben felt his cheeks burn as he rubbed the back of his head with a nervous chuckle, "Uh, I'm flattered… really I am."
The woman giggled while covering her mouth with her dainty hand. "So polite. I can see why Paradox trusts and respects you, Tennyson-dono."
"Um, thank you," Ben replied, feeling nervous around this ethereal beauty.
Amaterasu suddenly gasped, "Oh, where are my manners, I forgot about Jaeger-sama." She looked back at the portal then beckoned with her finger. "Come along now. Don't keep everyone waiting."
"Yeah, yeah, I heard ya the first time, Ammy," A masculine voice spoke from within the vortex as a new figure stepped out into the open, allowing everyone present to see who it is. The figure is a black-haired teenager with crimson red eyes, pale skin, a feminine face, and a somewhat frail figure. He wore a black hooded jacket with a red symbol on the back that looked like the hourglass of the Omnitrix, a white undershirt, blue jean pants, dark red boots with black laces and soles, a pair of black fingerless gloves, and a set of headphones around his neck. On his left wrist is the Omnitrix, similar to Ben's, but it seemed more streamlined with the green colors replaced with red.
"Huh? Wait a minute! That isn't me!" Ben exclaimed as he gestured at the new Omnitrix Wielder.
"Correct, Master Tennyson," Paradox replied. "Allow me to clarify: You are the center of the Multiverse in your own dimension. However, this young man is the center of the Multiverse in his own dimension. You could say that he is like you. A wielder of the Omnitrix and a hero. Though the rules of his dimension are quite different than our own."
"That's right," Amaterasu added. "You see, Jaeger-sama would be considered the 'Ben Tennyson' of our home dimension. However, the foes and feats that he conquered differ from your own as well as your other counterparts. Our histories are vastly different, for one. In fact, you and he are not the only ones who are the center of their own dimension."
"So… there's more Omnitrix Wielders?" Ben asked, a bit confused.
"Yes," Paradox answered. "The Omniverse contains many unique heroes that wield their own version of the Omnitrix. They face their own challenges and perils just like you, Master Tennyson."
"That… is so awesome!" The green-eyed changeling exclaimed joyously. "Other Omnitrix Wielders with aliens that I might not have even seen before? That's gotta be the coolest thing ever!"
"Ahem!" The other Omnitrix Wielder fake coughed to get their attention, a mild look of annoyance on his face.
"Oh, sorry about that," Ben approached the teen and held out his hand. "Name's Ben Tennyson."
The teen looked at the hand then responded by grasping the hand and giving it a good shake, "Aaron Jaeger," He greeted.
"Well then," Paradox spoke up, drawing the boys' attention to him and Amaterasu. "Now that we've said our greetings, I believe it is time to send you boys off into the new world."
"Jaeger-sama, I hope you'll treat Ben with the respect he deserves," Amaterasu glanced at her ward with a small grin.
"Of course, Ammy," Aaron nodded. "I'll try not to kick his butt if he gets on my nerves."
"Hey!" Ben exclaimed, a bit offended.
"Ah, before you leave, I believe I should mention the upgrades." Paradox stated. The two Omnitrix Wielders looked at the Time Walker with a sense of giddiness. Amaterasu giggled while Paradox lightly chuckled at how childish the two teens were acting. "As I was saying, I made a little modification to your Omnitrixes for your coming journey. I've allowed the use of the Evolutionary feature that Ben once had for his Ultimatrix. Not only that, but I've added a few new features that should prevent either of your Omnitrix to malfunction just in case."
"Cool…" The two young men said in unison, drawing another giggle from Amaterasu.
"Quite," Paradox replied with a smile. "Well then, I think that should be everything."
"Hold on now," Amaterasu spoke up as she approached Aaron, who looked at his friend in confusion. The woman reached within the bowels of her cleavage (drawing a massive blush from both Ben and Aaron) until she pulled out what seemed to be a bottle of tablets. "Take these with you, Jaeger-sama."
"What are they?" Aaron asked, taking the offered item.
"These tablets will help you with your… condition, if the need should arise." Amaterasu answered, giving the crimson-eyed teen a knowing look, who frowned. "Be safe." She said before planting a soft kiss on Aaron's forehead.
"I will and thank you, Ammy," Aaron replied with a heartwarming smile.
"Do be careful, boys," Paradox interjected. "The place you are landing in will be quite dangerous. Oh, and if you meet a fellow with pink hair, do make sure his motion sickness is under control."
"Wait, what-" Before either Ben or Aaron could question what the Englishman said, they vanished into a different time vortex.
[Fiore]
[Hargeon]
Ben and Aaron groan in discomfort after the portal deposits them into an alleyway between buildings featured in the early 20th Century.
"That… sucks… so much…" Aaron said as he slowly pushed himself back up to his feet.
"Urp… nearly… lost my lunch," Ben held his nauseated stomach as he forced his chili fries from coming up his esophagus.
The two alien superheroes managed to shake off their vertigo and regain their stature. With that out of the way, they checked their surroundings and noticed they were in some sort of city.
"Where do you think we landed?" Ben asked his partner.
"No idea," Aaron shrugged. "Dimensional travel doesn't really leave me with an instruction manual on what to expect besides bad guys."
Ben sighed then looked down at his Omnitrix, "Well, guess we should start exploring. There's bound to be something that can kill the boredom."
"You get bored easily, don't you?" Aaron sweatdropped.
"Nope, I just have a low attention span." The green-themed hero admitted.
'Great… stuck with a kid…' Aaron mentally sighed as he and his partner head into the town as a train whistle blew.
[Train Station]
Meanwhile, a train just stopped at the train station as the passengers left the vehicle. Well, not all the passengers.
"E-Excuse me, sir? A-are you okay?"
The train conductor was talking to a pink-haired young man, carrying a big backpack, with a scaly white scarf around his neck. The conductor's worry was understandable because the boy was sitting on the ground, sweating heavily while panting, his eyes swirling madly. Between his legs stood a small blue cat who raised a paw at the man, answering him, since the guy was unable to answer.
"Aye. It happens all the time." The cat said.
After a few seconds, the boy got up, still feeling sick. "Impossible! I will never ride a train, ever again… *barf*" Feeling his sickness coming back, he passed his head through the windows, his arms hanging limply.
"Let's go. If the info we got is correct, Salamander should be in this town." Said the cat before heading out of the train.
"L-Let me…rest for a while." Said the boy, still hanging from the window.
"Okay." But as the cat answered, the train departed from the station, with a horrified pink haired guy still onboard, crying for help. As for the cat, he simply stared at the train. "Ah. It departed already."
[Meanwhile...]
"Whaaat!? There's only one magic store in this town?" said a busty young woman with blonde hair and brown eyes, currently standing in the only magic shop of the city, talking to the owner of the shop.
"Yes. This town is more prosperous in fishing than magic, to begin with." He said with an apologetic smile. "Only less than 10% of the towns-people can use magic, so this is mainly targeting traveling mages."
The girl sighed, "I think I've wasted my time." She complained, hands on her hips, but the owner wouldn't let a potential customer go away like that.
"Please don't say that and take a look around." He said, trying to cheer her up. "We have some new items, too." As he was presenting some of his items to her, she finally found something that she wanted. A silver key in a showcase.
She gasped, "Oh wow, it's the little doggy! I've been looking for that one."
"But… that one's pretty weak," The shop owner pointed out.
"I know, but I really, really want it!" The blonde girl persists as she grabs the box and slides over to the owner. "So how much?"
"20000 Jewels."
"I'm sorry, but how much was that again?" She asked again as sweetly as she could.
"I said 20000 Jewels." Repeated the owner, but this time, the girl leans forward, putting her arms under her chest, trying to make it look even bigger, half closing her eyes.
"Oh come on. How much is it really worth?" She asked seductively. "Surely you can cut me a deal?" She gave a wink for added effect.
Unfortunately, while it had the desired effect… her sex appeal only took off…
...a 1000 Jewels.
[And then…]
"Man, this place is awesome!" Ben said as he and Aaron wandered around the town, passing by other citizens who went about their daily routines.
"Ben, wandering around isn't gonna help us with our situation," Aaron interjected. "We've got no money, no place to live, and I'm hungry."
Ben could understand what his new friend was going through. Mostly because he had already eaten before he left for his new adventure. "I'm sure we can come up with a way to make some money. Just enough to get a bite to eat."
Aaron sighed, "I hope you're-" He was cut off by the sound of squealing girls. This drew the teens' attention down below from the bridge they were on as a crowd of women surrounded a lone man. They were also cheering a name, 'Salamander'.
"What the heck is going on down there?" Ben wondered aloud.
"No idea, probably something stupid." The red-themed Omnitrix Wielder shrugged.
The two stared at the crowd below in silence… until Ben spoke up, "Wanna check it out?"
"Yeah, surah, sure," Aaron replied with a shrug as he and his fellow changeling searched the area for some stairs to check out the crowd.
Once managed to get an appropriate distance to the crowd, the two heroes could make out a man in the center of the crowd. He was fairly tall with short blue hair, eyes, a tattoo above his right eye of two semi-circles connected together. He wore a white dress shirt with a blue cape over it, covered in patterns similar to that of a pirate ship's steering wheel. He had a pair of red striped pants rolled up at the ankles, revealing his black shoes. He also wore several gold bracelets with a few rings.
"This guy looks like a douche…" Aaron said aloud, which, unfortunately, drew the attention of the crowd of women that surrounded him. Each individual girl glared daggers at the red-themed superhero. "Oh, crap…"
"Time to run!" Ben pulled Aaron by the collar of his jacket as the superhero duo fled for their lives away from the crowd of bloodthirsty women. They pass by a pink-haired teen and a blue cat, who watched them run in surprise.
"Wonder what's up with them…" The boy said.
"Maybe they need to use the bathroom?" The cat suggested.
"There they are! Get them!" A woman cried out, drawing the attention of the pinkette and the cat until the boy suddenly found himself being pummeled by a crowd of women.
"What did I do!?" The boy cried out in despair as he was getting beaten up.
While the pink-haired boy was being attacked by rabid women, Ben and Aaron managed to slip away into another alleyway at the last second to escape their pursuers.
"Women… are nuts…" Aaron panted.
"You have no idea…" Ben gasped for much-needed air. "One time, girls that I dated or had a crush on me fought over me in a competition like I was a prize trophy."
"Alien and human chicks?" The red-themed hero inquired.
Ben blinked in surprise. "Y-yeah, how'd you know?"
"Same situation but with a whole lot more…" Aaron slumped.
"Dude, I don't know whether to envy you or feel bad for you," Ben said with a grimace.
"Yeah, well-" A low rumble echoed in the alley as Aaron looked down in slight embarrassment. "Perfect timing…"
Ben grinned then activated his Omnitrix. "Hang on, I think I know a way to solve our money problems." In a flash of green light, Diamondhead appeared once more as a few of his crystal spikes on his back grew longer before they fell off in pieces. Another flash of light later and Ben returned as he picked up the diamond pieces, shoving them in his pants pockets. "Come on, I think I saw a restaurant nearby on our way here." He said.
[Later…]
The alien duo found themselves seated at a restaurant with Aaron devouring everything off the menu with the table manners of a Vulpimancer. Ben watched in shock as he casually sipped a glass of water (a little upset that Earthland had no smoothies or chili fries).
"Dude, how much do you pack in?" Ben questioned.
In the midst of chewing, the black-haired teen looked at his fellow Changeling. "Ah rott (A lot)," He replied with food in his mouth.
"That is so gross…" The sight made Ben cringe in disgust.
"Fanks for da foo!" The duo looked over at another table with the same pink-haired teen and blue cat from before as they devoured mountains of food while a cute, busty blonde girl watched in comical surprise.
"Whoa, that's some appetite…" Ben gaped in awe.
"Yup, yup," said the cat, its cheeks filled with fish.
"Did that cat just talk…?" Aaron wondered aloud.
"In our line of work, that isn't even the strangest thing we've seen." Ben pointed out.
"So your names are Natsu and Happy? Well, nice to meet you two. Um, could you guys at least not make a mess?" The blonde girl said, sweatdropping.
The boy, Natsu, and the cat, Happy, ignored the blonde and continued to eat.
Aaron frowned at their behavior as he stood up from his seat and marched over to the table. Without even blinking, he slammed his fists down on their heads. Natsu and Happy sporting large lumps on their heads as they groan in pain.
"It's rude to ignore a lady, you punks," Aaron chastised the two.
"Uh, who are you?" The blonde questioned.
"Oh, I'm Aaron Jaeger," The red-themed changeling greeted. "May I ask for such a lovely girl's name?"
The girl's cheeks flushed pink before she gave the boy a smile, "My name's Lucy. It's nice to meet you."
"You too," Aaron grinned.
"Uh, excuse me…" Ben said from behind his teammate.
"Oh right, my bad," Aaron chuckled sheepishly. "This is my comrade…"
"Ben Tennyson," The green-themed changeling greeted.
"Hello there," Lucy waved. She gestured to the recovering Natsu and Happy. "This is Happy and Natsu."
"Aye…" The duo groaned in slight agony.
"I can't believe that Salamander guy was using a type of magic called Charm!" Before the alien superheroes could ask what she meant, Lucy continued, "It's a spell that sways people's hearts in the magician's favor. Apparently, magic like that was banned years ago."
"So… it's like mind control?" Ben inquired.
"Yeah, something like that," Lucy replied with a grin.
Aaron frowned, "Mind control… that's a pretty pathetic thing to use."
"It's disgusting that he'd use magic to attract girls." Lucy ranted. The boys could honestly see that Lucy had a dislike for such illegal magic. "Though, thanks to you bumping into me, the Charm wore off," said Lucy to the four boys.
"But… we didn't do anything," Ben said.
"Well, we did lead a crowd of angry girls away from that Salamander guy." Aaron pointed out. "Good thing they were distracted by some random dude."
"THAT WAS YOU!" Natsu yelled, indignantly.
"Oh…" Ben winced.
"So, you're the sucker that got beat up," Aaron said nonchalantly. "My bad." He shrugged.
"You jerk! I oughta deck you right in your stupid face!" The pink-haired teen yelled.
"Come on, let's all calm down now." Ben stood in between the two to prevent any fighting.
"Yeah, how about we all just sit down, have a bite to eat, and just… talk?" Lucy offered with a nervous grin.
Natsu leveled one last glare at Aaron, who merely returned the gesture with an unimpressed expression, and sat back down in his seat as he continued to ravenously eat his meal with Happy.
"Well, now that we've all had a chance to take a breather, how about we do some chatting?" Ben added.
"Anyway, I may not look it, but I'm a mage myself," Lucy said, getting looks from the otherworldly teens.
"Ngeally (Really)?" Natsu asked, still stuffing food in his mouth.
"Dude, nasty…" Ben grimaced.
"Yup! Though, I'm not a member of any guild yet." Lucy said.
Ben and Aaron looked at each other then at Lucy, "What exactly is a guild?" They ask in unison.
Glad that someone is listening, Lucy replied. "Ah! A guild is an association for mages, which mediates jobs and information to wizards in them." The changelings nodded in understanding. With some excitement, Lucy continued, "But there are so many guilds around the world to join, and the really popular ones are hardest to join."
"Really? Like what?" Aaron inquired.
"There's this one place where many great mages gather; that's the guild I want to get into!" The blond teen gradually calmed down. "Oh, what should I do? The one I want to join might be pretty strict."
Ben shrugged, "You'll never know until you try." He encouraged. "That's what my grandpa always used to say when I was a kid."
Lucy smiled at the compliment. She then turned to Natsu and said, "Ah sorry, you wouldn't understand a story from the world of mages, would you?"
"Actually, I kinda would. My cousin is… a practitioner of magic." Ben stated.
"I know a few friends back home who use magic as well," Aaron added.
"Even so, I know I'll be able to join that guild! I bet I can get lots of jobs there." Lucy said as she looked out the window.
"Huh... that so..." says Natsu. It was obvious he wasn't really paying attention to what Lucy said, considering he was only focused on the food laid out in front of him.
"Wow. You sure talk a lot," Happy noted.
"You wanna get hit again?" Aaron warned while popping his knuckles.
Lucy quickly interjected, "By the way, Natsu; you said you were looking for someone?"
"Yeah, that's right! We heard Salamander was in town, but he wasn't the one we're looking for," he replied.
"He didn't look like a Salamander at all," Happy added.
"I was sure it was the real deal, too," Natsu said unhappily, as he ate a loaf of bread.
"Um, how could... a human look like a salamander?" questioned Lucy.
"Ah. Igneel isn't a human being. He's a dragon." Natsu answered calmly. When the words registered in Ben, Aaron, and Lucy's heads, they were quite shocked. Well, the latter of the three more than the former two.
"It's outrageous to think something like that would be in town!" exclaimed Lucy.
"Makes sense," Ben said. "A dragon would've burnt the whole town to the ground."
Natsu and Happy seemed to realize what Lucy and Ben meant as they gaped in shock.
"You two are pretty stupid, aren't you?" Aaron deadpanned.
"Hey!" The pinkette and the cat exclaimed in unison.
"Don't look so surprised! I can't believe you didn't even think of that," Lucy said to the duo. "Well, I need to get going. Take your time eating." She said, leaving some money on the table to pay for the two's meal. "Ben, Aaron, it was nice meeting you."
"You too," Aaron smirked and winked at the girl, who blushed slightly.
Natsu and Happy then got on their knees and called out their thanks. "Thank you for the meal!" thanked Natsu while on his knees in the middle of the pathway. Happy did the same.
"Don't, you're embarrassing me," Lucy yelped, surprised by the duo's actions. The restaurant filled with murmurs about what was transpiring. "I-it's fine, really. Besides, you helped me, too, so we're even now, right?" She then nervously thanked the two.
"But we didn't help anyone." "We're in your debt." the pinkette and his blue cat said, still on their knees.
Ben and Aaron glance at each other then shrugged.
"We better hit the road too," Ben said as he reached into his pants pocket and pulled out five taydenite shards then placed them on the table they were using to eat at. "Catch ya later, Natsu."
"Bye, you guys!" Natsu said with a grin as he waved at the two Omnitrix Wielders while Happy waved also and added, "Aye!"
[Meanwhile…]
Paradox, who was watching the two changelings, checked his pocket watch once more. "Abd right on time. If a little two seconds late."
"Paradox," Amaterasu spoke, drawing the Time Walker's attention to the beautiful immortal. "You don't need to watch over them. They are perfectly safe."
The steampunk-based time hero sighed. "True, you are right, madam. However, I cannot help but feel protective of Master Tennyson. He's like the son I never had before."
Amaterasu smiled, "I know how you feel. Jaeger-sama has been quite an important person in my immortal life."
Paradox chuckled, "Oh, I'm sure he is. From what you've told me of his adventures, his feats differ from young Benjamin's own, yet they are no less impressive."
"Yes, Jaeger-sama has been a great hero of my home dimension." The immortal woman giggled.
"Well now, shall we continue our observations at a later date? We still have other priorities to attend to." Paradox said as he glanced one last time at Ben and Aaron, who seemed to be following Lucy. "Best of luck, young ones."
With that said, he and Amaterasu vanished in a burst of blue light.
[Park]
"Why are we following her?" Ben asked.
"Because she knows more about this world than we do, Tennyson," Aaron answered. "Besides, aren't you interested in these guilds she's talking about?"
The green-themed changeling thought about it then nodded, "A little, yeah."
"So… what's your universe like?" Aaron inquired.
"Oh, well, I'm the Hero of the Multiverse and I've beaten a ton of different bad guys," Ben explained.
"So the usual bit," The black-haired teen remarked. "Guess that's not really much different."
"Tell me about it…" Ben mumbled.
"Hey, I see her!" Aaron gestured ahead to Lucy, who was sitting on a bench with a magazine in her hands.
"Lucy!" Ben called out, getting the blonde girl's attention.
"Oh, hi there, Ben, Aaron," Lucy greeted the boys. "Do you need anything?"
"You said you're a mage, right?" Aaron asked.
Lucy nodded. The latter then wondered, "Why? Are you looking to learn magic or something?"
"Uh, not really. We were a little curious about these guilds you mentioned." Ben admitted.
"You said you're looking for a particular guild as well, right?" Aaron asked. "Can you tell us what it is?"
"Oh, the guild I'm talking about is a place called Fairy Tail. It's the number one guild in all of Fiore." Lucy replied.
"Fairy Tail?" Ben and Aaron repeated in confusion.
Lucy handed a magazine over to the superhero duo, who took it to see a picture of the Fairy Tail Mages… or at least, the females of Fairy Tail.
Aaron's eyes nearly bugged out of his skull. "Holy shock! These women are hot!"
"You can say that again…" Ben said with his cheeks burning a bright red when he spotted a particular woman with long white hair in a bikini. "They're like supermodels."
"I know, right? Mirajane is so pretty!" Lucy gushed then sat back down on the bench. "I wonder how you get into a guild anyway? Make an appointment or something?" She pondered.
"Sign me up if there are beautiful girls like her…" Aaron muttered as he took mental pictures of the bikini-clad Mirajane.
"Dude, seriously?" Ben gave his comrade a look.
"What? Don't judge me. You were thinking it too." Aaron retorted.
Lucy giggled. "Still, the wizard's guild, Fairy Tail," She smiled. "They're just the coolest!"
"Ho~? You say you want to join the Fairy Tail guild?" A familiar voice (to the girl) rang out.
Popping out of the bushes was none other than the blue-haired man from before. "S-Salamander!?" Lucy recognized.
"Hey, it's that douche again." Aaron pointed out, getting a look of irritation from Salamander while Ben quietly chuckled.
Ignoring the boys at the moment, Salamander returned his gaze to Lucy with a charming grin, "I've been looking all over for you, miss." He smirked. "I want to personally invite you to the party I'm holding on my yacht."
Lucy looked at the man in disgust, "Sorry, your Charm spell won't work on me anymore! That thing's weakness is awareness." She pointed out. "Doesn't work on people if they know you're using it."
"Heh, just as I thought. Smart and beautiful." Salamander chuckled. "No matter, the invitation still stands for you." He said, before glancing at the alien superheroes. "They, on the other hand, aren't invited. I have no need for third wheels."
"Why I oughta…!" Aaron reared his fist back about to punch the man but Ben held the black-haired teen back.
"No, Aaron," Ben said. "This scumbag isn't worth it."
Salamander reared back in shock. "Scumbag? Why would you say something so cruel…?"
"Probably because using Charm magic to ensnare women makes you pretty pathetic," Aaron remarked with a scowl. "So yeah, scumbag."
"Now, now. Don't get offended. I only did that to promote my material for what they'll see. But can you really blame me?" He shrugged.
"Yes/Yeah," Ben and Aaron replied in unison, making the man deflate.
"Even today shows that famous wizards are nothing more than jerks." Lucy sighed.
Suddenly, Salamander decided to make an offer, "You wish to join the Fairy Tail Guild, correct? But haven't you heard of Salamander? One of Fairy Tail's great wizards?" He said to the trio.
"E-Eh!? You mean the Salamander of Fairy Tail!?" Lucy gasped.
"That's correct." He nodded. "Why else would I promote myself so openly?" He pointed out. "And if you wanna join, I could put in a good word for you. All I ask is for you to join me on my yacht tonight. Simple as that."
The blonde girl beamed, "Of course I will go if it means to join!"
"Lucy, are you serious about this?" Aaron inquired.
"If it means I'll join Fairy Tail, then of course!" She beamed.
"Heh, very well. Then I'll see you later, Lucy dear." Salamander said before he flew away on a trail of purple fire.
"What a creep…" Ben said dryly.
Lucy stood there in awe before blinking, "Crap! He got me with a pseudo-charm!" She groaned but sighed, "Well, at least I have a chance with getting into the Guild." She then looks at her new friends. "Are you guys okay?"
"I wanted to punch that guy in the face… really, really bad." Aaron admitted with a frown.
"As I said, he isn't worth it." Ben pointed out. "But anyways, are you sure you wanna go to this party, Lucy?"
"Of course I am. This could be my chance to get into Fairy Tail!" Lucy said with a beaming smile.
Ben rubbed his chin then snapped his fingers, "Then just in case, we'll sneak aboard his ship and make sure he doesn't do anything to you."
"Huh? But… how are you gonna get inside?" The blonde inquired.
The two Omnitrix Wielders glanced at each other with knowing grins then back at Lucy, "We'll take care of that."
"Uh… okay?" The girl blinked in confusion.
[Late At Night]
Natsu was leaning against the railing as he stares at the stars while Happy stares out at the ocean. "Hey, isn't that the ship Salamander's party is at?" Happy pointed.
Natsu looked at the ship from the distance but just from seeing it, he covered his mouth, the feeling of wanting to vomit. "Gonna hurl…" He said.
"Stop getting queasy just from thinking about it," Happy assured.
"Look! Isn't that Salamander's ship?" Happy looked to his left to see a group of girls who were also looking at the ship.
"I wish I had gone," Another girl said.
"Salamander?" The third girl raised an eyebrow.
"You don't know him?" The other asked. "He's the famous Fairy Tail wizard that came to town!"
Natsu and Happy though heard this, gaining an angered glare, "Huh? Fairy Tail?" He muttered. He then turned to the ship before covering his mouth, "Ugh… gonna hurl…"
[Meanwhile]
As night fell, Lucy had already boarded the ship in a lovely red dress while Ben and Aaron hid in the treeline watching from the shadows.
"Okay, Lucy's on board the ship," Aaron said as he activated his Omnitrix. "Now we just need to sneak in ourselves."
Ben smirked, "I have the perfect guy for that." Activating his own Omnitrix, the brunette slapped his hand down on the dial as a flash of green light erupted from Ben's position. Ben had disappeared and in his place was a blue and black moth humanoid alien that unfurled the cloak around him to reveal the large wings on his back. On his chest is the green symbol of the Omnitrix.
"Big Chill!" The Necrofriggian said in a raspy voice.
"A Necrofriggian, huh?" Aaron remarked. "Cool. Let me show you mine." He pressed down on his own Omnitrix. In a flash of red light, Aaron was gone and in his place was an alien that Ben had never seen before. For one, it looked like a humanoid cyborg alien ninja with a sleek helm that looked like it resembled an insect's head or a wolf's due to the two horns on his head along with the many red glowing energy lights on his black, white, and red suit. The symbol of the Omnitrix was emblazoned on the left shoulder guard of the new alien in red.
"Electrolight!" The new alien cried out with a synthetic tune in his voice.
"Whoa, what kind of alien is that?" Big Chill inquired.
"Voltarian, energy beings that require an insulated bio suit to physically move. Not only that…" Electrolight leaped onto a tree branch with agility on par with an actual ninja. "But I've got stealth on my side."
"Cool," Big Chill comments as he goes transparent and flies towards the boat while Electrolight follows him.
[Salamander's Yacht]
"So… It was Lucy right?" Salamander said, sitting on a nice couch with Lucy being in front of him. "That's a very lovely name."
"T-Thanks…" She smiled nervously.
"It'd like to toast to your beauty." He informed, pouring a glass as he handed it to her, "Now… Drink up! Savor the taste of the beverage."
She inwardly gawked as she began to keep it together, realizing he is trying to use that spell again. "I-I'm not falling for that again."
"Huh?" Salamander blinked.
"Don't play coy. I know you're trying to use sleep magic on me." Lucy said, pointing to the other ring on his finger.
"Heh, very impressive my dear. I'll admit, you're very clever." Salamander chuckled, amused.
"Don't get any ideas," She warned. "I want to join Fairy Tail, but I have no intention of being your woman."
"You're quite a handful… aren't you?" Salamander chuckled, "But I'm afraid it's too late." He said. In moments the door to the room opens up, revealing several men carrying the women that were on board into the room.
Seeing this shocked Lucy, "What is this?" She demanded, seeing the girls unconscious.
"You see, I only drew you in because I plan to sell you and the others as we make our trip to Bascou." He informed, "It was easy as pie to drag you in."
"You…" Lucy growled, reaching for her special Keys but Salamander used his magic to stop her, disarming her from using them, the Gate Keys landed in his hand.
"Gate Keys huh?" Salamander noted, "A Celestial Wizard! I haven't seen those in a long time. But, only the wizard who's contracted to these keys can use them. So they're useless to me." He said before he tossed them out the window. "Whoops, my fingers slipped."
"You… You're using magic to take advantage of others… You're the worst wizard alive!" Lucy yelled with tears in her eyes.
"Then it's time for them to cool off," An eerie voice spoke, causing a cold shiver to run down Lucy's spine. Appearing, as if from thin air, was a blue and black moth man with green eyes and an hourglass symbol on his chest.
"Moth monster!" Lucy cried out in fear.
"That's hurtful…" Big Chill sweatdropped.
Salamander looked at his minions, "Stop waiting around and destroy that thing!" He ordered.
Big Chill looked at the approaching thugs with disinterest then inhaled deeply until he exhaled out a blast of subzero cold, freezing the crooks in place.
"Now that's what I call a 'cold shoulder'," Big Chill quipped.
"Ugh, dude, really?" A synthetic voice spoke, drawing Salamander's, Lucy's, and Big Chill's attention to the window, revealing the alien ninja, Electrolight. "That quip was terrible."
"I don't see you making anything up for fun." The Necrofriggian retorted.
"Another monster!?" Salamander exclaimed then snapped his fingers as several more of his thugs came inside. "Kill those freaks!"
"Oh, get shocked." Electrolight coldly remarked as red electricity surged through his arms then unleashed a blast of lightning that shocked five of the thugs until they fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Now it's your turn." Big Chill eerily said as he furled his wings around his body, resembling a cloak.
*CRASH*
All attention went to the side as a familiar salmon-haired teen emerged from the smoke. "H-Hey…" He panted, looking pale. But as the boat gently rocked, his pale face turned green, "I'm gonna hurl…"
"You are so lame!" Lucy exclaimed in comical shock.
"This idiot again?" Electrolight deadpanned.
"Hey, I didn't know you were here, Lucy," Happy said as they saw him now flying above the hole, with two wings on him. Two freaking wings!
"Okay, that is freaky." Big Chill said.
"Whoa, Natsu, there are monsters here!" Happy exclaimed.
"You're one to talk, you flying feline!" Electrolight shot back.
"Geh! I don't care! Get these idiots!" Salamander ordered.
"Happy, you know what to do." Natsu stood up.
"Aye!" Happy saluted before his tail wraps around Lucy's waist and actually lifts her up and begins to fly away. "Hold on tight!"
"W-Wait! What about Natsu and those two monsters?"
"I can only carry one person," Happy informed.
"Shoot them down! If they reach the mainland, the council we'll know and we'll be caught!" Salamander ordered, sending a large fireball at the two in the sky.
Electrolight reacted instantly as he leaped into the air then conjured a shield composed of pure electricity that stopped the fireball. "Attacking a lady from behind? Now I'm really gonna hurt you." He said, popping his knuckles.
In the sky, Lucy begins to look around, "Say, Happy! Drop me in the water! I need to get my keys!" She said to Happy.
"But there's something I have to tell you." And just in time as the wings disappear. "My transformation stopped."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" She cried out as the two crashed into the waters below. While she began to swim, Happy landed on a rock.
She swam down to retrieve her keys, and the miracle of miracles, it was her Spirit Keys! She surfaced holding up one of them and then summoned one of her spirits, Aquarius. She appeared, then turned to Lucy.
"NEVER. Lose those keys AGAIN. What do you need?"
Lucy gestured a the ship. "It's a slave ship. We can't allow it to leave!"
Aquarius nodded, and producing an absolutely tremendous wave, she sent it towards the boat… but got Lucy and Happy caught in it as well.
"Hey! Don't wash me away with it!" Lucy cried out.
Once the ship washed ashore, Salamander and his goons landed on the sand while Natsu, Electrolight, and Big Chill crumbled in a different area.
"That… sucked…" The Voltarian groaned before in a flash of red light he reverted back into Aaron.
"I should've gone transparent…" Big Chill tried to calm the unease within his stomach but failed. "Gonna hurl…" Without warning, he vomits off-screen. In a flash of green light, Big Chill is replaced by Ben, who wiped his mouth of any remaining bile.
Natsu, after recovering from his motion sickness, stood at the top of the boat, glaring down at Salamander with unbridled hatred and a need to fight. "You… You claim to be a member of Fairy Tail?" He questioned the man.
"Yeah, so what?" 'Salamander' responded. "Get them, damn it!" He ordered his grunts.
Natsu's glare increased as a frown formed. He grabbed his red coat and tossed it aside then punched each thug away with ease as if they were nothing but flies. As he does so, a red tattoo is revealed on his right arm. "My name is Natsu Dragneel! I'm a Fairy Tail Wizard. And I've never seen you before!" He exclaimed.
Hearing this, Lucy's eyes widened. "Fairy Tail…!"
"T-That symbol!" One of the grunts noticed, "This is bad, he's the real deal, Bora!"
"Geh! Don't call me by my real name, you idiot!" The fake Salamander, Bora, exclaimed.
"Bora. As in Bora the Prominence," Happy realized with a frown of his own. "I've heard of him… He was a member of the Titan Nose Guild before being kicked out for bad behavior."
"So the guy went from a guild member to a scumbag slaver," Aaron said, hearing the cat's explanation. "I knew I should've punched him in the face."
"Well, we're here now. And we'll stop him right here and now." Ben remarked as he and Aaron stood beside Natsu, glaring down at Bora.
"Wait, Ben? Aaron? How'd you guys get here?" Lucy cried out in confusion.
"You'll see soon enough, Lucy," Aaron replied as he activated his Omnitrix then cycled through his own list of aliens then slapped the core down as he disappeared in a flash of red light.
Ben's own Omnitrix activated as the brunette turned the dial. "It's Hero Time!" He slapped his hand down on the core as he disappeared in a burst of green light.
In Ben's place is a humanoid alien made of pure, red, radioactive energy inside a dark green-teal Containment Suit, a heavy, oven-like suit that was capable of containing high levels of radiation and heat. On his chest is the Omnitrix symbol in green.
"NRG!" The Prypiatosian-B cried out in a Russian accent.
In Aaron's place is a prism rock-based alien with a diamond and ruby color scheme. He had large wings on his back, ruby orbs that connected his limbs together, a red helmet that covered his featureless face, a chest plate, and a bottom piece of the same ruby coloring. On his chest plate is the Omnitrix in red.
"Flashback!" The new alien declared with no moving mouth or visible eyes.
"Whoa…" Natsu looked at the two superheroes in both shock and awe.
"Now then… who wants the first beatdown?" NRG asked, slamming his fist into his armored palm.
Bora looked at the Fairy Tail wizard and the two superheroes… then called out, "Destroy them!"
"Typical…" NRG shook his head.
"Bad guys just can't say anything original," Flashback remarked.
"Well, I don't care who the hell he is! I'm not letting this dirtbag get away with dirtying the Fairy Tail guild's name!" Natsu declared.
"What are you guys gonna do about it? Stop me?" Bora smirked mockingly at the heroes, "Prominence Typhoon!" A blast of fire shot out from a symbol in front of him. Natsu grinned, standing in front of the blast as the fire engulfed him, shocking Lucy and the alien heroes.
"Natsu!" Lucy called out.
"Is he insane!?" Flashback exclaimed.
"Gross," Natsu's voice was heard from within the flames. "Are you sure that you're really a fire wizard? Because these are the nastiest flames I've ever tasted." Everyone (except Happy) watched, gobsmacked, as Natsu began to devour the flames. Literally, devour. The fire disappeared into his mouth and down towards his stomach.
"I see it… but I don't believe it…" NRG said, equally shocked.
"That guy can't be human…" Flashback muttered.
"Fire won't work on Natsu," Happy informed Lucy and the superhero duo.
"I've never seen anything like that…" Lucy said, a bit terrified.
Natsu strolled towards Bora and his slave dealing gang, "Now I've got a fire in my belly that's just raging to burst!" He slammed his fists together as a magic circle in the form of a dragon appeared in front of him.
"What's he doing?" NRG wondered.
"Here goes!" Natsu's cheeks began to puff up. "Fire Dragon Roar!" Then he opened his breath to release a powerful fire attack that would be similar to a Pyronite. The fire blast struck several of the slavers in a massive explosion, knocking several out.
"Well, can't let him have all the fun," NRG remarked as he dropped from his perch and landed heavily in the sand, firing a blast of radiation from the grill of his helmet, which knocked down five of the thugs with each blast.
"Get the other one! He doesn't look so strong!" One of the slavers declared as they charged Flashback with swords and daggers. The alien folded his arms across his chest as one of them slash at his neck…
*CLANG*
...which was promptly stopped when the blade snapped in half at the mere contact of Flashback's neck.
"What the heck!?" The slaver exclaimed.
"Silicon-based body. I can't be hurt by swords." Flashback said with amusement.
"Ehehe… this is gonna hurt, isn't it?" The slaver nervously chuckled.
"Yep," Flashback remarked as he punched the man right in the face, knocking him out. He looked at the rest of the minions, who all seemed to realize they were in trouble. "Who's next?"
Meanwhile, Natsu unleashed another blast of fire magic that burnt all but Bora by the flames.
"Guh! Take this!" He shouted, sending rains of fire on the ground, as some hit Natsu while others missed, hit the ground, as some begin to make their way towards Lucy.
NRG punched another thug before he noticed the flames, "Lucy, run!" He called out.
The blonde girl could only gape in terror as the flames drew closer to her. She closed her eyes, bracing herself for any form of pain.
"I don't think so," Flashback declared as he appeared in front of Lucy. "Absorb!" At his declaration, his glass-like body shined then the flames… disappeared within his body.
"Whoa, how did you-" NRG tried to say but Flashback quickly interjected.
"Flashback's species absorb various forms of energy into their bodies…" His arms began to glow purple. "And I can also… redirect that energy back at my enemies."
"Oh, so that's why he's called Flashback." NRG realized.
"Exactly," Flashback aimed his hands at Bora then blasted him with overcharged fire. The attack struck the slaver, sending him right to the ground.
"H-How… How are you able to even do that?!" Bora demanded.
"Heh, it's my type of magic," Natsu grinned, his fists igniting in flames.
"B-Bora… that spiky salmon hair, scale-like scarf… H-He's the real Salamander!"
"What?!" Lucy gasped. "He's Salamander?"
This seemed to horrify Bora, realizing he is against the real Salamander! Natsu literally leaps into the air and delivered a fiery punch, sending the criminal to the ground.
"Hey, Ben! Aaron! Finish him up! Make it a big bang!" Natsu grinned. "I wanna see your strength."
The two alien heroes looked at one another.
"Think you can do it?" Flashback asked.
"Please, I save entire multiverse. I do it." NRG answered with a hint of amusement as he fired a beam of nuclear energy at Flashback, who began to absorb the power into his body.
"Keep going! I need more power!" Flashback said as his glass-like body began to glow red from the build-up of energy he was containing.
The Prypiatosian-B released a cry as he poured more of his power into his ally, who absorbed so much that he looked like NRG's uncontained alien form.
"Oh no…" Bora paled as he stared at the glowing Flashback.
"Have a little taste of this…" Flashback said in amusement as he aimed one hand at the slaver. "Nuclear Return!" He unleashes a nuclear blast right at Bora, who squealed in fear before the attack hit him dead-on.
*BOOOOOOOM*
A massive explosion engulfed the entirety of the beach. Once the smoke cleared, Bora was left in a smoking heap, completely unconscious.
"That's the end of that." Flashback dusted his hands off before in a flash of red light, he transformed back into Aaron.
"Dude, that was awesome," NRG compliments as he turned into a flash of green light then returned into Ben. "Where'd you learn that move?"
"Video games," Aaron admitted.
"But, uh…" Ben looked around the area, gesturing to the destruction their fight with Bora and his slavers resulted in. "We may have overdone it a bit."
"Meh, wouldn't be the first time," Aaron shrugged.
Ben thought about it then shrugged. "Yeah, you got a point there." He looked down at the unconscious criminals. "So… shouldn't there be the police force?"
Just then the five hear the sounds of heavy metal footsteps heading their way. Looking to their right, they see a large army-sized force of men wielding spears and shields in blue and gold striped uniforms that were heading their way.
"What's with the walking tin cans?" Ben wondered.
"The military?!" Lucy says in shock.
"Oh crud," Aaron sighed. "Just what we need. More unnecessary distractions."
Before the superheroes and Lucy knew it, the girl was suddenly grabbed by Natsu, who dragged the blonde by the hand. Aaron and Ben reacted on instinct and followed after them.
"Natsu, what are you doing!?" The Celestial Wizard exclaimed.
"Well, you did say you wanted to join Fairy Tail, didn't you Lucy?" Natsu said with a grin.
"You couldn't have given us a warning that you were leaving us behind?!" Aaron exclaimed in annoyance.
"Yeah, not cool, dude!" Ben shouted.
Natsu smirked, "Hey, Ben, Aaron, why don't you two join us as well? You were seriously awesome back there! Plus, I can get my chance to fight you guys!"
Lucy giggled while Happy sighed, "Just like Natsu to think about fighting again…"
Ben grinned. "Don't come crying to me when you lose, buddy!"
"Heh," Aaron scoffed. "I don't plan on losing to you, Natsu."
"Then let's go! TO FAIRY TAIL!" Natsu shouted as he, Happy, Lucy, Ben, and Aaron left the town of Hargeon… on the path to Magnolia… and Fairy Tail.
[Meanwhile]
Watching our heroes flee for their lives was a figure cloaked in darkness, "It would seem Tennyson has arrived in Earthland." The figure remarked.
"And it would seem that Aaron X has been brought along as well," Another voice, this one more feminine and seductive, added.
"Irrelevant," The figure stated. "Even if Ben 10 and Aaron X were to join forces against us, they are still powerless to stop us."
The female voice softly giggled, "Your track record with Ben Tennyson isn't exactly good. You've lost every time you've encountered the boy."
The figure growled, "It doesn't matter. In this dimension, I have ultimate power. Before, I was outmatched against him. However…" They looked at their hand, which pulsed with energy thanks to the Etherano in the air. "I've obtained the strength to crush Tennyson and anyone who would dare challenge my might."
"Yes, yes, destroy Tennyson and all that." The female figure waved it off. "As long as you stay away from Jaeger then our partnership will continue because I want to have the pleasure of dealing the killing blow myself to him."
"Agreed. For now, our observations will continue until then." The figure let their gaze linger on the disappearing form of Tennyson before they left followed by the female figure until she stopped and looked back.
"Your doom is at hand, Aaron X. You and your allies will fall… in due time," The woman laughed maniacally as she vanished in a burst of rose petals.
A/N: And that's the end of the first chapter of the story. Now, at first, I had no idea how to proceed with this since I've read many great stories that featured Ben 10 in Earthland. So I decided to ask the author of one of my favorite crossovers, Ultimate10. And he gave me the advice I needed to write this so a big thank-you to him for the help.
Now to explain Ben's appearance in this, he is based on his Omniverse version. However, most of his aliens will be based on his Alien Force, Ultimate Alien, and Omniverse versions.
Oh, and Aaron? His universe does retain the same alien species as Ben but his playlist has aliens that Ben doesn't have (and probably never will). They will follow the same art style as Ben's own alien incarnations.
At some point in the story, I will be bringing in two characters (one from Ben's dimension and one from Aaron's) to act as a backup when the going gets tough. Or I might not do that.
In the meantime, I'll be busy over the weekend because I was chosen to beta test the Code Vein video game produced by Bandai Namco. After that, I'll be back in college classes over the summer but I will do my best to upload my other stories.
Review and comment on this chapter. Love it, hate it, but just know that you've read it, sucka!
Peace out, everyone!
Omnitrix Database:
Voltarian (Electrolight): Hailing from the planet Voltar in the Andromeda Galaxy, Voltarians are bioelectric energy beings that are required to live in special insulated suits which allows them to retain a physical form. Because they are energy beings, they are incapable of suffering from hunger or dehydration. Voltarians have control over electricity and can utilize it to either attack, defend, or even to recover from injuries. At peak physical condition within their insulated suits, they are quite agile and possess superhuman speed and strength. If their suits are in any way ruptured, they run the risk of losing their physical forms and thus avoid combat unless strictly necessary.
Appearance: Based on the Volt Warframe from the Warframe video game with the Arrester Helmet as a head and the Immortal Skin for added color.
Prismite (Flashback): Prismites originate from a small moon near Petropia. Like the Petrosapiens and Crystalsapiens, they are a silicon-based lifeform that allows them to survive the age of time and the void of space. Their bodies are composed of a high-density reflective material that gives them a glass-like appearance. They are capable of altering their bodies to any form that they desire such as weapons or even alter their body appearance to mimic their surroundings. Prismites can also absorb any form of energy that hits their bodies and once they absorb enough energy they can redirect it back like a glass panel. If they suffer damage in any possible way, they can slowly regenerate back into their prime condition. Their bodies are not invulnerable, despite their durability, since their forms can be cracked or even shattered by ultra-high-pitched sonic vibrations or hit with enough force.
Appearance: Based on Elemental HERO Prisma.
