A/N: So this is dedicated to Wild Colors, who actually enjoyed my fics and requested a crossover! Yey! So sorry it took long . She is totally warm and welcoming, and a great author. I dare you to check them out! Whoever's expecting a full blown fic, well don't get your hopes up, 'cause I kinda suck at action scenes and is a total newbie at writing DBZ.

Disclaimer: Don't own Ben 10 or DBZ. If I did, I'd die a happy fan.

Chapter 1:

"You dork, she's been working her butt off trying to find a cure for you!", Ben exclaimed in a collected manner while drinking his smoothie. Kevin had immediately been struck by guilt.

Not only did he turn against the team and help Charmcaster do her dirty work, he had put Gwen's life and powers in danger, and had put a strain on their relationship. How could he hurt anyone like that in one day?

"I didn't know", he muttered, back turned from his best friend.

He did try to apologize (if that's what you call it) and knowing Gwen, she deemed it no problem at all. Though in her eyes, he knew she was still in pain. She hadn't done her job yet, and the frustration was eating her up.

Though she didn't try to hide while she searched her spell books, she did try to limit her time in front of me and Ben. It was like we'd punish her if she took too long.

They remained in her room for hours and long after, he fell asleep.

Gwen knew how much boredom her boyfriend endured, but he did force himself to stay. For support, as he put it.

She glanced at him. 'Well, the effort is appreciated'

Her research was impossible. She hadn't a clue to cure Kevin except Reverto Maeos Opsmihi, the reversing spell. She'd do it in a heartbeat, unless she's risking a time paradox.

Her eyes catch a foreign spell, a rare thing, since she's been reading the miniature book for fun (mostly as necessity).

'Ota yhteys' Lähin Mitta' …

And oddly enough, she is incredibly drawn to attempt it. Curiosity might actually be her death.

She'd seen magic writings and runes before, but never dancing (or otherwise in motion) before her very eyes. One day she'd open up the book and be surprised to find another handwritten spell, as if it was a part of the content all along. Otherwise, this new spell had no detail.

Kevin felt an icy feeling in the back of his neck, and checking on his girlfriend, who was filled with the slightest blur, still sat on her chair with her feet resting on the bed.

He forgot that he fell asleep, which hopefully won't get Gwen upset, since he was ought to help her browse spells in the first place. Her folks might actually be on the way up to 'kiss her goodnight' (but since it was 6 pm, maybe not for a few hours after)

She was chanting rather softly and finding no problem, curled up to the side facing her and pretended to snore.

Gwen didn't stop and after focusing on all other manna around her, she felt herself trapped in a trance.

'What did I just do?', she thought.

Her surroundings felt different, the air was colder, the ground wetter, and she can hear a tremendous sound from what she thought was a massive body of water.

"Did I teleport myself?", she asked loudly.

"What…?", Kevin asked, his voice muffled. She jumped, and looking for her boyfriend's voice, she frowned.

Kevin was nowhere near her.

"Kevin, can you see me?"

"Clearly…and Gwen, you're glowing pink", he replied, "What did you do?", he asked mockingly.

She actually felt herself smile, since that was exactly the tone she used when he had just done something bad…ish.

"I tried a spell. Never mind that, it's like I'm two places at once, except I can't see you", Gwen explained and she felt carefree. Maybe she had left her body… not a good thing to think about.

"Can you get back? Or should I start panicking? ", Kevin asked. He didn't know anything about enchantments and magic. She didn't expect him to stand here all night, worrying, did she?

Gwen, now clearly seeing the waterfall, heard herself gasp a little. Turning around to her back when someone cleared their throat, she shrieked.

"What is it?!", came Kevin's frantic voice.

Although she was airborne, her greater surprise was her manna, which she felt incredibly stronger than before. Only now it was totally concealed. There was no glow, no pink aura. She felt sick, seeing as she could fall down the running waters any minute.

And there was floating large green person (more like alien) meditating in front of her.

"Gwen?", Kevin grew worried. Gwen heard her boyfriend's voice grew inaudible. The green man's eye remained closed for the time being, giving her time to communicate.

"Kevin? Can you hold a little more-?", the connection ultimately snapped.

Kevin, now holding an unconscious Gwen in his arms, had put her in bed and headed towards his best friend. He need not waste any time.

"Oh great", Gwen sighed in defeat. She had managed to lose her contact," Whoah", she mimicked her fellow flyer's seating style, the last thing she wanted was to get wet. But she'd find a way to get back…or Kevin, by any chance.

"You're not going to fall", the green man said, eyes still closed. Arms folded, somehow he reminded her of a calmer Kevin.

She didn't reply, but only looked down the running waters. She knew she wouldn't, if she hadn't drowned for the first few minutes. She felt her manna doing it for her anyway.

"You're magic, aren't you?", he asked nonchalantly, "I can feel it"

"Depends if you're on my side…are you?", she asked although normally she would have been on a fighting stance. He doesn't seem too bad, she needed to apply the same formula she uses with her boyfriend, 'Don't act on first basis' and 'Think with your brains, not fists'

"Yes, I ensure this world's safety, like you", he stated and looking at her for the first time, motioned for her to follow, " What brought you here?"

"A spell, but I can't figure out why here of all places. I was searching for a cure…", she trailed, realizing that she must've been selling out information to a stranger.

"Spell?"

"I'm an anodite, we manipulate manna or life energy"

"…I don't follow you", Piccolo said, confused.

"I'm part-anodite. We're energy-beings and since I studied some charms and spells, I can perform magic", she tried to simplify things down, but she always hated saying 'magic' like some sort of trickery in a birthday party.

"Witchcraft, I believe?", Piccolo suspected.

"I'm an anodite. Witches have a long, stereotypical history, and I don't want to be viewed the same way"

"We need to get you settled someplace else", he ignored her and lead the way.

He flew faster than she'd anticipated and before she could follow, he was gone. Well, no time to find him anymore. She searched around and focused in getting back to her room.

Kevin must be worried.

She carefully flew down near the woods, and using her invisible manna, conjured a trail of steps to gracefully plump to a more comfortable ground.

Piccolo suddenly stopped in midair. The young red-head was nowhere behind his tracks. He did felt her ki (which he assumed to be no match compared with Krillin's, no more than the Saiyans) disappear slowly. He should've figured she would not follow a complete stranger.

He hardly found her ki, since he flew about 15 miles already, and a stronger force had made him know that she was still wandering somewhere. She had exactly the same thing— the same power as the monsters that attacked Earth. Unsurprisingly rock monsters, at first, which proved to be easy job. More powerful attacks had succumbed their cities each passing day. Spirits, souls, sucked out clean out of their bodies. Countless lives lost. The Z-fighters couldn't figure out who, or what was it, but they needed to…soon.

They all connect to another kind of tricks, another kind of energy involving the ability to manipulate magic.

Her kind was possibly the root. He was not mistaken. She had exactly the same force their new foes brought.

He was part of Earth's guardian; he could now decipher good from evil. And judging a book by its cover, Gwen was anything other than a threat.

He didn't stop to get her; he headed straight to his old friends down at Satan City.

Kevin was having an anxiety attack.

"Benjamin!", he pounded on his room, only to pull the knob violently from the door. He kicked the door out of his face and accidentally threw the knob on Ben.

He groaned in pain, "Dude!", he yelled while holding his right spleen," Levin, you are asking for it!"

He nearly wanted to laugh.

"Ben, is everything alright?", Ben's mom asked since she stayed in the next room.

"Fine, Mom…Just Kevin with the usual", he shouted back with a hiss. Kevin smirked in apology.

"I need your help"

Ben threw him an angry glance and placed himself back to bed, under his covers," If this is about your damn car again, I swear—"

He shook his covers away and pulled Ben by the arms," Gwen's in trouble, she tried this spell while I was asleep and now I think she teleported"

"Where is she now?", Ben stood up and struggled to put on his shoes.

"In bed", he replied," unconscious"

"If this is another prank, Kevin—"

"It's not, last time she was glowing with manna then she said she's two places at once", he explained when they headed to her house," then after she shrieked, she passed out"

"So, where is she really?", he repeated again, irritated.

"Not here", he said as they knocked over Gwen's front door, catching their breaths. Good thing her parents were at work," but we have to do something"

Gwen lay on her bed, where Kevin left her.

"She looks…normal", Ben remarked. Kevin punched his arm, and he grimaced.

"Well, she's not", he worried and sat beside Gwen's feet," We need to split up"

Ben studied Gwen.

"You sure it's not the flu? Or maybe she's pregnant-?"

"Would you shut up?", Kevin threw him a pillow.

"Fine, I'll ask Grandpa. You go get other help"

Kevin glanced at Gwen," Don't I get to stay here?"

"C'mon, man, don't get all mushy", Ben groaned," I'll just call Julie"

"Yeah, I better help", Kevin decided. Ben might be a hero but he'll take about 10 years when he's on his own. He's a pretty distracted guy," Move it, Ben!"

Ben scurried out, speaking to his phone speedily, "Why can't we get a day off?"
