Chapter 1: And Then There Were Ten
Richard: Well, here it is. The original Gwen 10 The Series, originally titled "Ben 10: Gwen's Alternate Universe" before changing to "Gwen 10: Omniverse War".
I originally wrote this under the inspiration of Gwen 10 what-if episode, replaying all 4 series with Gwen as a star and some OC storylines.
Because of the improvement I made on Gwen 10, some special episodes shall not be included and especially some chapters were re-made in Gwen 10 The Series with extended story and better concepts.
Alas, you all want to see the original so here they are. I will not alter the scripts but I'll still fix some grammars.
If you want visualization on characters' arts, it depends on your liking. Visualize them in either the Classic Art, Ultimate Alien Force Art or Omniverse Art.
In the emptiness of space, a green outlined grey ship flew through its expanse while behind it was a large brown spaceship with red orbs dotting its hull. The brown ship fired its laser cannons at the much smaller ship until it began to return with a powerful beam of energy that blew apart the command bridge, knocking out an octopus-like alien by the name of Vilgax.
The brown ship then countered with its own deadly powerful laser cannon, which tore the grey ship in half. As a last act before its final destruction, the small ship jettisoned a much smaller craft which then began to enter the nearest planet's atmosphere, the name of this planet; Earth.
Bellwood, a small city located somewhere in United State of America. Bellwood was a great city, like many others, but we are going to focus our view on the middle school of Bellwood.
In the classroom, a brown-haired 10-year-old boy named Benjamin Kirby Tennyson was waiting impatiently because today was the final day of school and the start of the summer vacation. Ben wore a white T-shirt that have black stripe that goes from his collar to the bottom of his shirt and has black cuffs on the sleeves. He wore dark green baggy pants, wore a pair of black/green sneakers and has emerald-green eyes.
He gazed at the clocks and it struck 3 o'clock.
"YES! Out of here!" cheered Ben as he stood up and left the classroom with everyone else.
Outside, two bullies; a black-haired boy with a cash register on his shirt and an orange curly-haired boy with glasses, are picking on a kid but they decided to cut him some slack and demanded him to hand over their lunch money. Ben saw him and smacked their heads together, knocking them out without them knowing who attacked them.
"Phew... Thanks, Ben." said the kid.
"It was the last day of school and they still pick on you. They should start picking on someone at their age." scoffed Ben.
"See you after summer." smiled the kid as he waved good-bye.
"No prob." waved Ben as he walked away before the bullies recovered.
Then a RV, known as the Rust Bucket, arrived and the power window rolled down to view an not-so-over-weighted 59-year-old man with grey hair, red Hawaiian shirt with pale-red flowers on them, white pants and brown shoes.
"C'mon, Ben. We're burning daylight!" smiled the man.
"Coming, Grandpa Max!" smiled Ben as he climbed inside the RV. "I've been waiting for this forev-" Ben stopped as he saw someone sitting on the couch.
It was a girl who has the same age as Ben. She has orange hair with a bang tied by a blue hairpin and wore a long-sleeved shirt that are colored dark-blue on top and light-blue on bottom as well as a cat icon on the center. She wore white pants with matching shoes and, like Ben, she has emerald-green eyes.
"What are you doing here?! What she's doing here?!" Ben asked Max while pointing at the girl.
"Don't even think about it, Dweeb! This isn't my idea either but someone convinced my Mom that having this trip is a greatest experience for me." scoffed the girl named Gwendolyn Tennyson or Gwen for short.
"Grandpa, please tell me you didn't!" begged Ben.
"I thought it will be great if your cousin tagged along on this trip. Is that a problem?" asked Max. Ben and Gwen didn't answer as they glanced at each other. As they left Bellwood and drove down through the highway street, Ben laid down on his couch with his arms crossed.
"I can't believe it! I was waiting for the best summer vacation ever and now the Queen of Geeks tagged along for the ride!" complained Ben.
"Hey, I had my own summer vacation all planned out! I have marked two activities a day so I never repeated them twice." Gwen showed Ben a colored calendar where the dates are marked for two events on each day and Ben become surprised of that. "Now I'm stuck with my doofus cousin for 3 months." she said with annoyance.
"Geek!" scoffed Ben.
"Jerk!" frowned Gwen.
"Looks like this is going to be a long vacation." said Max as he overheard their argument.
They have arrived at the Yellowstone Park and parked the Rust Bucket in the forest. It was nighttime so it's dinner time.
"Chow time." smiled Max as he brought a bowl of worms, live!
"Okay, I give up. What is that?" asked Ben.
"Mealworms. They're considered a delicacy." smiled Max as a mealworm fell out of the bowl and crawled away on the table, grossing Gwen out.
"Ugh! Can we have a burger or something?" asked Ben and Gwen nodded with a smile.
"Nonsense. This trip will give you a great taste in your stomach. I'll get the tongue." smiled Max and Gwen groaned in disgust while Ben held up the worm and dunno whether or not he should eat it.
After dinner, Gwen starts browsing through her laptop while Ben plays his PSVita. Grandpa Max arrived with a bag of marshmallow
"Okay, who wants to hear a ghost story?" asked Grandpa Max.
"How about a story where Gwen was a total freakazoid and everyone called her "freak" and she ended up in Lonelywoods?" asked Ben with a sly grin. Gwen was really hurt this time. Sure she can take his insults but that one was too much.
"Benjermin Kirby Tennyson, I HATE YOU!" cried Gwen as she ran off into the woods. Max shook his head and sighed of their argument.
Gwen continues running until she can't run no more. She wiped her tears off and looks back as she sniffed her nose.
"Why people say we're related? We are nothing alike." said Gwen as she continued walking in the wood. Then she heard a whooshing sound. She looked up and saw a falling green star.
"Wow! A shooting star!" Gwen placed her hands together and made a wish. When she opened her eyes, she saw something that made her wide-eyed: the shooting star changed direction and head toward her!
"EEK!" squealed Gwen as she quickly turn and ran to the opposite direction. The star crashed against the ground and Gwen got pushed forward by the blast. As the smoke lifted, Gwen stood up and checked the crash site. It's a metallic sphere.
"It's not a meteorite. Not even a satellite." Gwen wondered then she made a small "eep" as she fell into crater because the edge was loosen by the crash. She stood on her feet and dust off her pants then patted her butt twice. "Ow... My butt." moaned Gwen.
She walked toward the sphere then the sphere open wide. Inside the sphere was a very big black/grey wristwatch with white tubes, green buttons with a large one on one side and has a hourglass-shape faceplate with grey section and black outlines. The device gave out a beeping sound and the faceplate gave out a green emanating glow.
"What's that?" Gwen bended over and reached her hand out to pick up the device. Suddenly the device unstrapped itself, jumps up and strapped itself on Gwen's wrist then changed its colors that matched Gwen's shirt. "AHHH! Get off! Get off! GRANDPA!" screamed Gwen as she crawled out of the crater and ran through the woods.
"Hmm, I wonder what's taking Gwen so long?" wondered Max.
"Maybe she was abducted by aliens." joked Ben. Max look at Ben with a serious look in his eyes. "What? I can dream, can't I?"
Meanwhile, Gwen struggled to get the watch off her wrist but she can't and was about to give up until she saw the green button.
"What's this? Maybe a release button?" wondered Gwen. She pressed the button and the core popped up. The hourglass symbol morphed into diamond shape and revealed a silhouette icon with bulky arms and flame-like head then the device let out a beeping sound. "Huh? What is this? Maybe if I press it down, it'll let go of me. Please make it let go!" pleaded Gwen as she pressed the core down.
The watch released a burst of green energy then the device sank into her wrist as her hand becomes covered with multiple charcoal-black rocks. The rocks traveled up to her arm then her shoulder and finally reached to her eye as she screamed in horror and pain then her eyes glowed yellow as the rocks formed around it then everything went black. When she opened her eyes, she gazed at her hands: her hands became a pair of flaming hands with dark-red magma rock-like shells!
"AHHHHHH!" screamed Gwen in a feminine Ghost Rider-like voice. "I'm on fire! I'M ON FIRE! WAAAHHHH!" Gwen, now transformed into a living entity of pure flames and lava, started running around in panic until she realized she's not feeling any pain or burn.
"Hey... I'm on fire and nothing happen?! This is weird... This watch turned me into a walking firewall. I better find Grandpa and tell him about this." Gwen ran through the forest until she returned to the camp site. She starts calling her grandpa and Ben.
"Grandpa Max! Ben! Where are you?" she called as she looks around.
"Hey, it's 10:00. No need to...to..." Ben walked out from the mobile home, rubbing his eyes until he remained frozen by the sight of Gwen. "YAAH!" screamed Ben.
"Hey, stop screaming!" growl Gwen then she got sprayed by a fire extinguisher from Ben. She coughed twice then ignites her head in flames again.
"Step away from me, you freak!" shouted Ben with the fire extinguisher in his hands. Gwen had enough of Ben calling her "freak". She glared at Ben strongly that, suddenly, Ben's pants ignited in flames.
"Yeow! Hot hot hot!" panicked Ben as he ran around then sprayed himself with the fire extinguisher. Gwen was amazed of what she did and started giggling. "Grr! Say good-bye!"
"In your dream, dork!" scoffed Gwen. Ben realized there is only one person who called him "dork" and that human fireball is...
"Gwen?! Is that you?! How did you get covered in flames and grew taller?!" asked Ben in confusion.
"Well I—" Before she start explaining, Max came out of the van.
"What's all that no— What in blazes?!" exclaimed Max.
"Grandpa, guess who it is." said Ben.
"Hi, Grandpa." smiled Gwen as she waved her flaming hand.
"Gwen?! What happen?!" asked Max. They sat down near the firewood and Gwen explained everything that happened.
"So you're saying that the watch just jump up and clamp on to your wrist?" asked Max, just to be sure he understood her story.
"That's right. I can't get it off either." said Gwen with a mouthful of melted marshmallow.
"You think she'll stay as a monster forever?" asked Ben as he ate some marshmallows.
"Not a monster, an alien." said Max with a grim tone. Both Gwen & Ben gazed at Max after he said "alien". Max quickly came up with an answer, "I mean, look at her. What else can she be?"
"No! I can't stay like this forever! All my grades will drop since I'll be burning everything I touch!" whined Gwen.
Before they can think of something, the watch symbol, somehow shaped like a cat icon, located on her chest start flashing in red light and let out a loud beeping sound. The sound went from loud to soft then dies out. Gwen's body released a flash of bright light then she transformed back to her original self. She looks at herself and a wide smile came across her face.
"I'm me again!" she squealed in joy.
"Aw, man. I was hoping to use you as an oven." moaned Ben.
"I still can't get this thing off!" grunted Gwen as she tried to pull the watch off her wrist.
"Better not to mess with that thing until we know what the heck it is. I'm going to check out the crash site. Stay here." ordered Max as he head into the woods with a flashlight.
Meanwhile in space, the group of drones are fixing the ship and a humanoid drone, known as Bioid, went to the stasis tank, where his captain was placed for regeneration, and told him about the half-destroyed ship that fled into Earth after boarding..
"What do you mean 'it's not there'?! That battle almost causes me my life! And you're telling me the Omnitrix is not aboard on the ship?!" asked Vilgax with a raspy voice in every breath he take. His body was mortally damages, with a missing arm and legs.
"Sensor indicated a pod jettison from the ship, just before boarding. It landed on the planet below." answered the Bioid.
"Go! Find it!" ordered Vilgax to a mysterious figure that left without question.
The ship launched a pod to Earth. Then, after entering the atmosphere, it crashed on the ground and transformed into a giant Bioid with spider-like legs. It saw the pod where the watch was found then scanned it until it realized it was empty.
It trusted its hand and fired a powerful laser blast & blew the pod into pieces. Then two disks ejected from the robot's shoulders then transform into drones and flew off to find the "Omnitrix".
Back at camp, Gwen remained sitting on the log until Ben snuck behind her and tried to press the button. Gwen saw him and quickly moved her arm away from him.
"What are you doing?" asked Gwen.
"Trying to see what it does." answered Ben.
"Grandpa said not to mess with it so I'll make sure I won't turn into that firewall gal." Gwen crossed her arms and glared at Ben.
"Aren't you curious?" he asked.
"Not in a least." Gwen replies as she turned away from her cousin.
"Are you sure we're related?" asked Ben.
Max arrived at the crash site then found what remains of the pod. He picked up the pieces and gazed at it closely.
"I don't like the look of this, not one little bit." muttered Max.
"If you can figure out how to use it, you can be famous!" smiled Ben.
"Yeah, in a freak show!" frowned Gwen.
"C'mon, transform into that fire girl." begged Ben.
"No!" snapped Gwen.
"Then I'll do it for you!" Ben grabbed her arm and tried to press the green button while she struggled to break free.
"Let go of me, you big Doofus!" growled Gwen.
Ben pressed it and the core popped up and revealed an icon of a cat-like figure. Ben accidentally pressed the core and the watch released a pulse of green energy that pushed Ben away.
The watch sank into Gwen's wrist again but this time, her blood vessels expand greatly and travel all the way to her eyes. She clutched her eyes shut then she shot them open. Her eyes turned green with up-and-down slits. Her body starts growing violet fur with blue stripes, and her teeth sharpen itself to point. Her fingers grew sharp claws, grew a long tail then her hair grew longer and turned pink.
She transformed into a tiger-like humanoid creature with a short-sleeved uniform, colored in two shade of blue, and wore a black/dark-blue brace that have the cat-shaped watch symbol on her left shoulder. She spun around, lifted her arm and slammed her claws against the ground then let out a feminine tiger-like roar.
"RAAAAOOOOWW!"
"Whoa... You turned into a tiger girl!" exclaimed Ben. "Wow! We are going to need a bigger litter box!" laughed Ben.
"Grarr!" growled Gwen as she doesn't find that joke funny.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? Ha ha ha! Get it?" laughed Ben.
"Grrr! RAAAAOWWW!" Gwen roared at Ben with anger and Ben closed his eyes as the wind blew through his face.
"Your breath will definitely get the job done." joked Ben as he covered his nose.
Then he got an idea; he grabbed a bucket of water and plans to dump it on Gwen. However when he's about to dump it, she quickly sensed him coming and jump over Ben, somersaulted and land on the RV while she made Ben lose balance & dumped the water on himself. She gave a grin after she saw how fast and agile she becomes.
"Ooookay, maybe not a total loser." Ben said.
Gwen jump in front of Ben and gave a sly grin as she ready her claws. Ben gulped strongly and back away from Gwen but, before she scares Ben, she smelled something. Whatever it is, it's making her feel uneasy and has the urge to go after the source of the scent. She leapt over Ben then ran into the forest.
"Whoa, come back! Grandpa Max is going to get mad if he finds out you turned into a tiger lady when he told you not to! Wait, that's my fault." said Ben as he remembered he pressed the core for her.
Gwen starts jumping from tree to tree, searching for the source of the scent. Then someone spotted her and she quickly sensed the danger. She leapt away and a laser blasted the tree apart. The lasers blasted every tree as it tried to hit Gwen.
Gwen landed on the trip and saw the drone, who was the attacker. She leapt away after the drone blasted the tree with its laser. The drone lost sight of her then she leapt out of the tree, pounced on the drone and she starts tearing it apart with her claws and teeth.
The symbol start beeping and she looked at her shoulder then she looks ahead and saw they're heading toward the cliff. She jump down and landed into a bush while the drone crash and exploded. A red light flashes from the bush and Gwen emerged as a human again.
"YYYES!" cheered Gwen. But her victory was cut short as another drone appeared in front of her and aimed its laser cannon at her. "Uh-oh." gasped Gwen then a shovel rammed the drone's face. It was Ben and he continued to smash the drone with the shovel.
"Take that, Tin can!" grunted Ben.
"I never thought I say this, but thanks for saving me." said Gwen. The drone ignited in flames and the two cousins quickly ran away from it as it exploded.
Back at the camp site, inside the Rust Bucket.
"Ben, you shouldn't have mess with the watch. That's why I told her not to mess with it until we know what it is." said Max and Ben nodded in agreement.
"But thanks to him, I finally know how to activate it. First you press the green button, the core pops up, select the icon, slam it down & there, you transformed into 10 different aliens." explained Gwen.
"What about the part of turning back into a plain old lady?" asked Ben rudely.
"I realized that I can stay in the alien form for 10 minutes." answered Gwen.
"10-year-old girl who can transform into 10 super-cool alien chicks for 10 minutes? What are the odd?" asked Ben.
"You're odd." joked Gwen.
"Hmm, with the device that powerful, we need to teach you, fast." smiled Max.
"R-Really?!" asked Gwen with a smile like she like the idea of being a super heroine. Then they heard an SOS from the radio.
"Mayday! Mayday! Anyone who can hear me, we need help! We're under attack by a, I don't know if you believe me, but robot!" panicked the man over the radio.
"Must be those same robots that attack me! They must be looking for the watch... We must help them!" shouted Gwen.
"How?" asked Ben then Gwen gazed at the watch and gave a grin.
As they almost reached to the Yellowstone Park, they stopped for awhile so Gwen used the watch. She looks at Max and he gave a nod. She pressed the button; the core popped up and selects the icons. She picked the one which looks like a slender bulked figure with two spikes then pressed the core down.
The watch released a burst of green energy as her arm got completely covered in teal organic crystal-like skin. Then her face got covered in crystal, clutched her eyes then shot them open, revealing her eyes turned fully green. Next, her legs become covered in crystal skin then she spun around and stood firmly as she transformed into a diamond-like alien being with flat head with one hairpin on the left. She wore a sleeveless uniform that stopped at her forelegs and was colored with both shades of blues on each side with black pattern that covered around the cat-shaped watch symbol that was placed on her left chest and wore black shoes.
"So what does she do?" asked Ben.
"I don't know, but I bet it will be useful!" grinned Gwen in a serious, mature voice as she make fist.
When they arrived at the camp, they found the giant Bioid tossing cars around and firing its laser cannons, destroying everything in its path.
"It has to be the big one..." groaned Gwen. "Okay, you two get the people out of there while I'll distract him." Ben & Max nodded in agreement then ran ahead to help the people. Gwen glared at the robot and her glares lit up her eyes.
The Bioid spotted the park ranger and grabbed him but then a rock struck his head (of course it didn't hurt.) and turned it head to see who threw that.
"Hey, Tin Can! Pick on someone your own size!" shouted Gwen.
The Bioid scanned her closely then saw her symbol on her left chest. Target reticule confirmed it as its target then it thrust its claws and blasted Gwen with a laser cannon. Gwen crashed into the cars and got buried inside then cut her way out. She gazed at her hand, which it sharp shifted into a long sword-like form then turned back into her hand.
"Of course, I'm made of diamond. Diamond has tough durability & can reflect energy! That's it!" smiled Gwen as she got a plan.
As the Bioid approached her, she jump up high then swung her fists down and smacked its head. The Bioid staggered back and dropped the park ranger as it crashed on its back. It stood back up then grabbed Gwen and tossed her into the trailer then fired a laser cannon that obliterated her in an explosion.
The Park Ranger recovered and asked Ben, "Will someone tell me what's going on?"
"You won't believe me if I tell you, c'mon!" said Ben as he dragged the Park Ranger away from the battlefield.
Gwen got used to her new powers so she jump toward the Bioid, turned her arm into a blade and sliced the Bioid's arm off. She landed on the ground then turned around to face the wounded giant. He fired his laser beam but Gwen used her hands as a mirror and redirected the laser by sweeping it from left to right, slicing the Bioid in half. The Bioid exploded into pieces & debris went flying everywhere. Max & Ben cheered at Gwen's victory.
"ALL RIGHT! Way to go, Gw—" Max noticed the people were looking at them like they think they know who she really is. "Uh... Miss Diamond Head!" cheered Max nervously.
"Since the danger has pass, allow me to leave." said Gwen, trying to act mature and walk away.
"Who is that woman?" asked one of the campers. Max & Ben quickly tip-toed away before they start asking questions on them.
Inside the spaceship, the Bioid brought bad news to Vilgax.
"MISSION FAILED!? Whoever found that Omnitrix to prevent me from obtaining it will hang on my trophy wall!" growled Vilgax.
In the morning, Ben & Max are packing up to continue their road trip until Max noticed someone's missing.
"Ben, where's Gwen?" asked Max.
"I don't know. I went to her bed to scare her but she's not there." shrugged Ben.
Then they heard a sonic boom and a dust cloud appeared from the distance, heading toward them at tremendous speed until it skidded to a halt.
The dust cloud subsided and revealed a velociraptor wearing a dark-blue uniform with light blue V-pattern on center that covered her body minus her forelegs and forearms, has two white stripes on the tip of her tail, wore a black helmet with blue scissor-shaped visor and a hairpin, has orbs under her feet and her skin are turquoise. Her mask opened up and revealed the lizard's face with green eyes, black eyebrows and has freckles. She has the same cat-shaped watch symbol on her chest.
"Gwen?" asked Max.
"That's right! Check this out!" smiled Gwen in a teenage, fast-pace/high-pitch voice. She wore her mask covered her face then dropped on her running stance. Suddenly she starts moving at supersonic speed, instantly pack up the remaining boxes then return to her original spot. "Super fast!" grinned Gwen then the symbol start flashing and beeping. A flash of light blinded them then Gwen returned back to normal.
"This is so COOL!" squealed Gwen.
"Yeah, whatever." shrugged Ben as he enters the van then looked back, "By the way, where did you go?"
"I...went to take care of something before we go." Gwen gave a sly grin as she joins the other.
Back in Bellwood, the librarian was surprised to see all the books Gwen had borrowed has return in a second and 3 girls, who annoyed Gwen several times because of her intellect, got their panties pinned on the tree breach, at 10 feet off the ground.
"Hey, what happen?!" asked girl #1.
"I don't know... It all happen so fast." answered girl #2 as she moaned, due of the sharp pain she received from her panties after being yanked up hard.
"Hey, anyone! A little help here please!" shouted girl #3 at the top of her lungs.
Richard: Now, do not complain on some dialogues. This is an old story before the improvement on Gwen 10 the Series. And you want it that way for nostalgia sake.
Now I will give some fun facts:
1) While Gwen 10 what-if episode is an inspiration for the story, it was And Then There Were None and And Then There Were Ben two-part special of Omniverse that fully motivated me on making this story.
2) The time period of Gwen 10 story is 2012, which it's the publish year for Ben 10: Gwen's AU and thus, the time period for Gwen 10 is 2012. That means Gwen and Ben of that universe are born in December 27, 2001.
3) While the canonical Gwen was confirmed to be the Spark, hence the eyes and the Omnitrix interface, I chosen that Gwen 10/Hero Core to only wields the Omnitrix while Ben has the Spark, which it's a role-reversal matter.
4) Gwen 10 is more tactical and resourceful then Ben 10. This is evident as Gwen chosen Diamondhead to stall Eon, knowing full well of her age immunity and long-range attack that keeps Eon from getting a good look at her.
Enjoy the re-visit of the old and leave reviews if you like.
