Ben 23 Alien Force
Episode 1: The Highbreed Threat
AN: Hello friends, this is my first story in the Ben 10 section of Fanfiction, so don't expect anything great, at least in the first few chapters. As the title states, this is basically the plot of Alien Force set in Dimension 23 which is also set a couple of years after the events of Omniverse in the main timeline. Of course there will be slight changes in the plot, some episodes will be replaced, some characters may be replaced or just flat out won't exist, some OCs will be added, and some new aliens for Ben 23 to transform into.
So without further ado, let's get on with this train wreck.
Bold Text = Speech in an alien's native language
It was a day like any other. That is, until a regular bystander sees Rollaway chasing down another Pelarota down the city streets. Both recklessly barreling through traffic and destroying public property.
"You can't roll forever!" Rollaway called out.
"I'd stop if you'd let me talk!" The Pelarota shouted back.
"Ain't nobody got time for excuses, bad alien dude."
"I only ran over a couple of telephone poles!"
Their chase continued, nearly flattening an elderly woman crossing the street. As they neared the end of the street, Tetrax and SevenSeven appeared.
Tetrax generated diamonds in the shape of a ramp on the street, which was in the way of the Pelarota. Going too fast to properly change direction, he ended up going up the ramp, launching him into the air.
"Wh-whoa!"
While he was up in the air, SevenSeven threw down a few pellets which exploded into a patch of sticky goo in which the Pelarota landed in. Rollaway slowed his speed so he could avoid everything, though he still rolled into a building. The Pelarota he was chasing struggled in the sticky goo as he uncurled out of his ball form.
"Hey, I can't move!"
"That's the point." SevenSeven said.
"You could've handled this a lot better, Ben." Tetrax commented.
"What are you talking about?" Rollaway asked as he walked out of the hole he made in the building. He then transformed back into Ben 23. "I was totally handling this before you guys showed up."
"You're being too reckless again. Look at all the destruction you've caused." Tetrax pointed back at all the crushed vehicles and other collateral damage Ben and the Pelarota left behind. "Haven't you learned anything?"
"I've learned a lot." Ben answered, texting something on his cell phone.
"You certainly don't act like it."
"Look, I'll pay for the damages like I always do." Ben continued texting on his phone.
"That's not the point, I-" Before Tetrax could get anymore words out, Ben's phone had alerted him about someone calling him in an obnoxiously loud fashion.
"Hold on to that thought." Ben answered his phone. "Hello…..yeah…what?! That was today?! Shoot, I'll be right over!" He quickly hung up his phone and began turning the dial on his Omnitrix.
"As I was saying, Ben-" Tetrax started again.
"No time, I have to go meet some friends." Ben interrupted. Pushing down the dial on the Omnitrix, he transformed into SpeedyQuick. "We'll talk later." He then ran off at super speed.
"Ben wait!" Tetrax shouted, but SpeedyQuick was already too far gone. "Darn, that kid."
"Hey," The Pelarota still struggled in the goo. "I'm still here."
"We should move him." SevenSeven said.
"Right, let's get this guy to Azmuth, I'm sure he'd like to know why an Arburian Pelarota is doing all the way out here on Earth."
A soccer match at Ben's high school had just finished when SpeedyQuick arrived. A gyro and a smoothie in his hands as he drank out of his smoothie.
"Oh man," He said, changing back to Ben. "Maybe I shouldn't have stopped to get a smoothie." He quickly scarfed down his gyro. "And the gyro."
"Yeah, that totally would've saved you a few precious seconds." A depressed yet sarcastic female voice said.
To Ben's right he saw a Goth girl. "Oh hey, Meg." Meg was a typical looking Goth girl. Black hair, black lipstick, black clothing with some white highlights in it.
"Dude! You're late!" Another voice called out. This voice belonged to a young African American male. He wore a black and blue soccer uniform with the number fifteen and the name Jones on the back. "I had to cover for your position the entire game man!"
"I know, I had some hero business to take care of." Ben spoke apologetically. "You know?"
"You had me sit through an entire game…..with….people. You know I hate people." Meg said.
"I know," Ben replied, offhandedly autographing some Ben 23 merchandise for a fan.
Meg sighed. "Why did I even let you talk me into this? I don't even like you."
"Maybe it's because of my charm and good looks." Ben slyly suggested.
"No," Meg said disdainfully.
"Dude," Jones started. "I'm all for you being the hero and saving the day, but you gotta remember that you're our star player. You can't keep missing games. Coach might kick you off the team."
"What? And lose all the star power and popularity I bring to the team?"
"Star power and popularity the team gets when you're seen with us."
"Meg, Jonesy, listen, let me make it up to you guys." Ben said finishing his smoothie and throwing it away.
"If it's anymore Ben 23 merchandise I'll burn it." Meg said.
"No no, I'll do whatever you want."
"Really," Meg raised an eyebrow as a devilish smirk crept on to her face.
"That doesn't involve killing myself." Ben added.
"Oh," The fraction of happiness that had appeared deep inside Meg had disappeared along with her smirk.
"Deal?"
"Fine," Meg said in thought. "Give me some time to think about it. Your punishment must be brutal."
"Yeah sure, you take your time with that." He said offhandedly while autographing more things from fans. "What about you Jo? You need anything?"
"As your best friend who was raised in a very privileged middle-class family, you know I would never ask anything of you." Jonesy chuckled as he leaned in. "But in all seriousness, could you hook a guy up with some tickets to your next movie? I kinda have a date with a really cute girl."
"You got it, buddy." Ben said as he turned to dismiss a group of fans who had crowded around him. "Alright guys, sorry but no more autographs."
A little disheartened, the crowd started to disperse.
As Ben turned back to face his friends, his Omnitrix went off and a projection of Azmuth appeared on top of it. "Oh hey Azmuth," Ben greeted. "What's up?"
"Tennyson, you should learn to ask questions before you start punching things in the face."
"Um, what are you talking about?" Ben inquired.
"I'm talking about the Arburian Pelarota you just chased halfway across town. They're a peaceful race!"
"How was I supposed to know that?"
"Like I said, you should ask first!" Azmuth calmed down. "If you'd bother to listen, then you'd know that Springer came to Earth for help."
"Springer?"
"The Pelarota you chased. It's nothing you'd worry about given your short attention span. I've already sent Tetrax and SevenSeven to deal with it."
"So, did you just call me to file a complaint?"
"No, I've just received word of some illegal tech being delivered to Earth. I want you to go stop it."
"By myself?" Ben questioned. He didn't mind doing missions alone unless it got in the way of his schedule.
"No, I can't trust you to handle such a task by yourself." Azmuth objected. "Or any task for that matter." He muttered.
"You and me both." Meg muttered as well.
"I'll be sending backup to help."
Within seconds, two beings were teleported in front of Ben.
"Magister Labrid and EightEight shall be here to assist you until Tetrax and SevenSeven return."
Labrid and EightEight look the same as their Prime Universe counterparts, just with the addition of blue coloring that most counterparts have in Dimension 23.
The projection of Azmuth turned to Labrid. "I trust that you will keep Ben in check, Magister Labrid."
"You have my word, Azmuth." Labrid said. EightEight nodded in response as well.
"Right then, Azmuth out." With a simple dismissal, Azmuth's projection dissipated.
Meg felt a little unwanted. Not that she didn't mind, she didn't like being around Ben when he was dealing with alien business.
"Well Ben, I can see that you're very busy. I'll be on my way." She spoke, leaving.
"Yeah, I gotta go too." Jonesy said. "The team is celebrating our win over some gyros and smoothies. Talk to ya later though."
"Yeah, see you guys later," Ben waved. He then returned his attention the two aliens beside him. "Now then, Labrid, was it?"
"Magister Labrid of the Plumbers, yes." He answered.
"Right, let's get going to this illegal weapons deal."
"Yes, EightEight and I will properly explain on the way."
As they headed to where the illegal arms deal, Magister Labrid explained the case further. Apparently, the deal was going down between a group called the Forever Knights and a group called the DNAliens, according to their man on the inside. Not much is known about either factions. (AN: The Forever Knights haven't fought been yet in Dimension 23).
After some time Ben, EightEight and Labrid arrived at the location, an abandoned train station. They got behind a ditch that hid them well and waited.
"So…..you're SevenSeven's sister?" Ben asked EightEight in some attempt to make conversation while the group waited. She nodded "yes" in response. "I figured, you do look like him a little."
EightEight growled as if she wanted to attack Ben. Labrid had to stop her. "Careful now, we don't want our cover blown."
Mumbling, EightEight attempted to speak. "We…..not…..alike!" She spoke very broken English.
Ben was legitimately surprised. "Wow, you can talk?"
EightEight nodded again. "I…..slow…..learn….language…..speak…..better…you."
"Really, I feel honored."
"Oh please, don't flatter yourself." She retorted. "Why do Earthlings have so many languages, it's confusing."
"Both of you, quiet." Labrid motioned. "It's happening."
In the abandoned train station below two groups of people came in their trailer trucks. Out of one truck were a lot of guys dressed in red cloaks which barred their faces. The other group looked like ordinary people. Not a single alien in sight.
"One of these guys are the Forever Knights, but I don't see any aliens." EightEight said in a hushed tone.
"Yeah," Labrid agreed. "What's going on here?"
Ben was turning the dial on his Omnitrix. Not really looking for a specific alien. "Does it matter? These guys are doing something illegal right, so let's stop them."
"Ben wait!"
Ignoring Labrid, Ben pushed in the dial of the Omnitrix, transforming him into the alien of choice.
"Electricyeti!" He shouted. The Gimlinopithecus, then jumped over to the men transferring the goods to each other.
"Our hero," EightEight spoke sarcasticly.
Labrid sighed. "Let's act now before he jeopardizes the mission further."
"Nobody move, eh!" Electricyeti ordered.
Everyone around him turned their attention to him as he was in the middle of everything. The guys who looked like ordinary people, reached to their faces and pulled of masks, which revealed their entire bodies to be alien.
"Wha? That's new."
The guys behind him who were obviously the Forever Knights, removed their red cloaks, revealing their knight armor as they put on their helmets, completing their looks.
"Ben, look out!" Labrid warned him as he and EightEight shot at the Forever Knights who had armed theirselves with the illegal weapons. "Those are Laser Lances!"
"Huh?" Electricyeti looked behind him, leaving himself open to the DNAliens who spat slime at him. The slime landed at Electricyeti's feet as well as on his back.
"Ay!" Electricyeti turned back. Electricity crackling around his fists. "You boys think you're slick, eh? Well you got another thing coming." He shot electricity at them, knocking down some of the DNAliens. "Haha!" Unsticking himself from the slime on the ground, Electricyeti ran up to a couple of DNAliens.
Attacking the first one, Electricyeti slammed his electrically charged fist down on it. He then backhanded the DNAlien next to him. Planting both fists into the ground, he donkey kicked another one.
"Boy, I'm on fire today." Electricyeti said. He noticed a DNAlien retreating to the back of a train car. "And where do you think you're going?!"
Giving chase, he left Labrid and EightEight behind.
"Haa!" EightEight swung her power sword at a Forever Knight, cutting through his armor and incapacitating him. She then shot at two more Knights that fired at her. "Labrid!"
"Don't worry about me, EightEight." Labrid said blasting everything, DNAlien and Forever Knight alike. "Take care of yourself!" He shot at two DNAliens that approached her from behind.
"Right, thanks!"
Electricyeti had caught up to the DNAlien he chased. Grabbing its head and shocking it.
"Ya can't run from me." He said.
As he dropped the alien, a laser whizzed past his face.
"Ay!" He quickly turned around and saw a guy in armor similar to EightEight's with a similar body type as well. Electricyeti himself really couldn't tell the difference. "Oh hey, Eighter. Didn't see ya there for a second."
The guy shot at him again.
"Oi! What's the big idea, eh?"
The guy then lunged at him with an energy buzz saw. Electricyeti managed to move out of the way.
"Whoa, talk about your close shaves. Looks like I'm gonna have to knock some sense into ya." Tapping the Omnitrix symbol on his belt, Electricyeti changed into a new form.
"Mr. Monkey!" The Arachnachimp exclaimed. "I don't want to hurt you too much, so some webbing oughta calm you down."
Mr. Monkey shot webbing from his tail. The EightEight lookalike avoided the webbing and shot lasers at him. Mr. Monkey jumped around to avoid the lasers and then jumped in to punch the lookalike. The lookalike however grabbed him out of the air and threw him into a wall.
"Agh!" Mr. Monkey's body slid down the wall. "I meant to do that." He said getting up from the ground. "I made you give me a tactical advantage."
The EightEight lookalike had his guns trained on Mr. Monkey.
"Hm, I can tell you aren't monkeying around." Mr. Monkey said. The lookalike's only response was shooting at him.
Meanwhile, Labrid and EightEight had forced both Forever Knights and DNAliens to flee. Both sides using the trucks they came in as getaway vehicles.
"Magister Labrid, they getting away!" EightEight said.
"Quickly! Place a tracker on their vehicles!" Labrid exclaimed.
As the trucks drove away, Labrid and EightEight take trackers and threw them at the trucks. At the same time, Mr. Monkey fell from the sky and landed in front of EightEight.
"Ow…maybe Mr. Monkey wasn't a good choice."
"Ben?!"
EightEight's supposed lookalike attacked from the sky about to cut Mr. Monkey in half with his Energy Buzz Saw before his Omnitrix timed out, reverting his form back to normal human Ben. The Buzz Saw stopped mere centimeters from his face.
"Wait, there are two EightEights?" Ben was confused as he looked back and forth between EightEight and her lookalike, which looked a lot manlier now that he compared the both of them.
"No Ben," Labrid replied. "That's SixSix our guy on the inside I was talking about. He was supposed to be the deal broker."
"And we do not look alike!" EightEight exclaimed angrily.
SixSix withdrew his Buzz Saw and gave Ben some space.
"What did she say?" Ben asked Labrid.
"She said that they don't look alike." He answered
"They both look alike to me."
"Grr! I'm going to hurt him!" EightEight muttered.
SixSix patted her on her shoulder to calm her.
Ignoring them, Ben spoke to Labrid again. "So wait, if he's with us then why did he attack me in the first place?"
"He probably mistook you for a rogue alien. Right SixSix?"
SixSix nodded.
"He also doesn't like Arachnachimps." EightEight added.
"The misunderstanding wouldn't have happened if you hadn't rushed into everything. Had you waited a few more minutes, he would've given us the signal that would've initiated our assault." Labrid explained.
"Oh…uh, at least we stopped them right?"
"Not quite, both factions were able to get away with whatever they could get their hands on during the skirmish. Luckily, EightEight and I were able to place trackers on their vehicles."
"So what are we waiting for, let's go after them." Ben said eagerly.
"Hm, at least you have a sense of urgency to make up for your lack of patience." Labrid said. "We'll go after the Forever Knights first. The tech they got away with are level 5, three levels above Earth's standard, it's too dangerous to leave in their hands."
Ben, EightEight, Labrid, and SixSix tracked the Forever Knights to their hideout. A castle in the middle of the forest, complete with a drawbridge and moat.
"A castle?" Ben scoffed. "These Forever Knights are really into the whole medieval motif."
"Medieval?" EightEight asked.
"What?"
EightEight sighed. "What….mid….evil?"
"Oh, just some time period, never paid a lot of attention in class, just imagine Earth but a lot lamer."
"Ohh, I still don't understand."
"It doesn't matter." Labrid said. "Let's just get in there and rid the Forever Knights of their newly acquired tech."
"So how do we get in?" EightEight asked, pointing at the raised drawbridge.
"You do know you have a jetpack right?" SixSix said.
"What? Of course I do." EightEight replied sheepishly.
In a flash of blue light, Build-A-Guy appeared in Ben's place.
"I got this." The Segmentasapien transformed into a bridge across the moat. "This work for ya?"
"Excellent observation, Ben." Labrid said walking across.
"Yeah, you used your brain for once." EightEight said in a sarcastic tone. "Not that we really needed it."
"Hey!" Build-A-Guy said. "I may not be able to understand what you're saying, but I can tell sarcasm when I hear it." His head popped up at the end by the drawbridge.
"Of course you do." EightEight said playfully, flicking his nose.
"Ow!"
"Eight," SixSix said, cutting an opening through the drawbridge. "Stop flirting, this is serious business."
"I am not flirting!" EightEight objected.
"Heh, like I said before, I don't understand a word either of you two are saying, but judging from your reaction, I bet he said something insulting."
"Shut up!" EightEight bopped (it was more like a punch) Build-A-Guy on the head, causing his formation of a bridge to fall apart. Luckily, for everyone else, SixSix had cut a hole through the drawbridge and everyone was able to get through.
Build-A-Guy pulled himself out of the moat, soaking wet. "Not cool, dude." He said.
Moving into the castle, there was a distinct lack of anyone being here. The room Build-A-Guy and the others were in was filled with displays of knight armor, weapons, trinkets, chalices, and several statues of knights in combat.
"These guys are total nerds." Build-A-Guy said looking closely at a statue.
"I can see why these guys went through the trouble of getting their hands on those Laser Lances." EightEight said, looking at the medieval weaponry. "These weapons they have here are severely outclassed by what we have."
"It's a bit concerning that we haven't seen anyone." Labrid said. "Not that I don't mind being able to sneak around."
"You'd think with a castle this big there would be more guys around." Build-A-Guy stated.
"Or there could be something bigger waiting for us."
"You're joking right?" The Segmentasapien scoffed. "What 'big' thing could a bunch of basement dwelling mama's boys in knight costumes have? A toy dragon?"
"Uhh," EightEight started as she pointed behind Build-A-Guy. "Is that-I mean, is…that dragon?"
"What?" Build-A-Guy turned around to see a large dragon right before him. The dragon's presence known, it roared loudly. "Oh….that's not good."
TO BE CONTINUED!
AN: Gwen, Kevin, and Julie didn't appear. Gwen and Kevin still exist but due to Max's death shortly after Ben received the Omnitrix, Ben never went on that summer trip that influenced Gwen and Kevin's characters. Julie just doesn't exist. It's not that I don't like her, I just never cared for her.
Remember to review. Some suggestions would be nice as well.
