Author's Note: I do not own Ben 10. I am simply just another viewer/fan.
Summary: They have five years until the war. Five years to train. What they choose to do with that time is up to them.
The three of them stood next to the famous green car sipping their usual disgusting smoothies. Kevin, Ben, and Gwen just stood contemplating the information they had just received.
"1,826 days and counting." Ben stated as a female figure walked up to the trio.
"1,826 days until what?" The familiar figure asked.
"Oh, hey Julie."
"1,826 days until what Ben?"
"In exactly 1,826 days, Villion is going to invade the Earth." The hero answered relatively nonchalantly considering the circumstances.
"That shouldn't be a problem for "the Ben Tennyson, two time savior of the universe". So why do you all look like it's a death sentence?"
"Villion is an evolved version of Ben's alien X." Gwen paused to see Julie's perplexed expression. "Alien X is a Celestialsapien. Each Celestialsapien has a total of three voices. Bellicus is the voice of rage and aggression, Serena is the voice of love and compassion, and the third voice is the voice of reason."
"Ben is the voice of reason."
"Correct. Due to the disagreements of the three; they are all usually in an inactive state of internal debate on how to manipulate time. When used at its full strength, alien X is unstoppable; however, because the inactive state is a result of the bickering voices, it is more of a dangerous hindrance than helpful. Villion has somehow overcome this, and is able to manipulate the voices at his command."
"Oh," was all she could say. There was a dead silence for awhile. The four of them just stood there. Nothing to say. Only thoughts to barely comprehend.
At this point in time, all three of them have their driver's licenses, Ben and Gwen have graduated, and Kevin has received his GED (thanks to Gwen). Ben has unlocked five new aliens and Kevin has made his car into the ultimate fighting machine (this includes being fully submersible). So, both Kevin and Ben have been getting stronger, it was inevitable the Gwen felt weak.
"I think I'm going to call it a night. I will see you tomorrow guys. It was good seeing you Julie!" Gwen yelled as she got into her car. She didn't like driving her car. She missed the days when Kevin drove her everywhere, giving them even more time to spend together. But ever since she got her license Kevin hasn't been driving her many places (her ability to drive herself being the excuse).
She pulled into her driveway and walked slowly up the stairs and into her room. She plopped herself on her bed and had just began to consider the options available to her, when a woman in a navy blue hooded robe came out of the shadows.
"I know what you're thinking."
"Grandma Verdona?" Gwen sat upright on her bed.
"Who else, kiddo? Now, as I was saying, I know what you're thinking and it cannot be done."
"Please Grandma can't we at least try."
"It's not possible."
"Please." Gwen pleaded with an innocent cry.
"And your friends?"
"They will understand. Please Grandma." She pleaded again.
"Alright."

It is a very short chapter that leads into the big story. If you like it, I'll keep going. Please rate, review, comment, critique. Let me know if there is something I can do better. Thanks for reading.
