Freedom force X

By jack T. hedgehog.

"For those who have looked upon the previous story before this, I apologize for the sloppy writing and bland sentences. After finding most errors with the first work that came out, I will try to reconstruct so it'll turn out better then last time. ok, I've prattled on enough, let's begin shall we?

(Ben's P.o.v)

A hero…. I spent my entire summer claiming I was a hero, just because I had the omnitrix. My grandpa told me that a hero isin't just about having cool powers, it would eventually took sacrifice. I didn't want to believe him, so I just did what I could, act like a 10 year old kid who didn't want to accept anything.

I never really understood what he meant…. When he said it would take sacrifice.

But then…. The day happened, when my idea of the word…. Hero, was shattered….

The screen appears on the city of Bellwood. At least what used to Bellwood. The town was in complete ruins. Below the sunset lit sky, layed the destroyed city that was once a peaceful place.

The buildings were demolished and slowly crumbling away onto the wrecked cars found in craters 6 feet below the street. The only thing that filled the streets were the littered body's of those who have passed on or have been wounded beyond healing.

Body after scared body laid on the street like a pair of fallen domino's. men, women, even children were suffering. There was no hope in there eyes. All of them completely transparent and soulless, having lost all hope, not even having the will to move. They couldn't do anything except lay there In a puddle of their own blood and despair.

And whoever's body's that weren't frozen in despair were frozen in the coldest of ice. If you managed to see someone incased in this type of ice, you would already know that they were already gone. Frozen in their own statue of sadness.

Atop the destroyed streets and buildings of what used to be Bellwood, was a cylinder like monstrosity of a building that pierced through the grey clouds.

The building itself was unbelievable as it was seemed tower over even Bellwood's highest building. There were etchings on each side of the building.

One the first side was an etchig of dragons flying up and burning the land below. On the other side were etchings of millions of snakes devouriong what seemed to be a single human being.

Beside those etchings were weird etchings of conduits filled with some type of energy. That energy… were the souls of everyone that died in the forsaken city.

Atop the massive structure, stood ben Tennyson. 10 year old hero and proclaimed hero of the universe, battered and bruised. His favorite t shirt now stained with blood and scars. his olive green pants were torn from the bottom up.

It looked as if he could barley move his arms. Behind him layed a number of four bodies. One of which was his cousin Gwen Tennyson.

As ben snarled in anger he looked ahead of him only to hear the chuckle of an insane madman.

The man was slender yet agile. He had ivy green hair with soul piercing yellow eyes and a black fedora.

He wore this with an open black coat , a white dress shirt, a black vest along with a black necktie.

He only smiled at the hero who could barley stand up on his two feet. Beside the menace was ben's one time crush kai green. Though she was wearing odd armor around her arms and legs. The armored leggings . they were metallic with eerie green energy flowing through the sides.

Though her torso was only covered by a black body suit while wearing an ominous headgear. The mark on the headgear seemed as it was a sort of Japanese symbol, but not knowing a lick of Japanese it was impossible for ben to read.

All he could do now was force himself to stand up as blood continued to drip from his arms. Yet somehow the omnitrix was still functioning and unscathed despite it's damaged bearer.

"OH HO HO HO! You put on quite a show kid, I didn't think a 10 year old could fight like that, even though you lost, still a thumbs up for effort." The man cackled as ben only growled in frustration at the man.

"Hmm? Is something wrong? Are you possibly upset about your family getting frozen solid? That was a really nice statue by the way, I must commend the artist for his work." The man joked as ben had clenched his blood drenched fist in anger.

"Hmm? That's not it? Then how about me turning your ex crush into one of the most powerful weapons in existence and having her eliminate you and your friends?" The man continued as ben only gritted his teeth.

"Hmm, then what then? Oh I know! How about when I stabbed your cousin and her blood spelt right in your face? you should probably consider getting a napkin to wipe that off too, blodd doesn't do good for attracting ladies." The man chuckled making ben snap.

"YOU BASTARD! I"LL DESTROY YOU!" Ben shouted as he stood on his two feet and clenched his fists. But the man in the fedora only sighed in annoyance as he tilted his hat.

"Man… kids these days really are too stubborn for their own good. It's really a pain in the ass!" The man grinned as a look of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

"Master hazama let me take care of this trash." Kai spoke in a robotic fashion.

"No no dear, it seems like the boy wants to play with me for awhile. Why not grant the kid his wish? His dying wish." The man snickered as he walked past Kai and stood across from the young hero.

"Ben 10 Vs. Hazama"

Cue music: X-matic

"Bellwood ruins"

"A hero can not learn true bravery, without experiencing true fear."

"You Monster, my family…. My world…. I'll destroy you!"

(evil cackle) "Oh man! Your too much!

"The wheel of fate is turning! Rebel1" ACTION!

As ben quickly slammed down the omnitrix, time began to slow down around the hero. His upper body began to grow as his muscle mass started to increase rapidly.

Soon with his arms raised he had grew two new pairs of arms under his first two as his two eyes split into four. The symbol of the omnitrix had moved from his arm to the first left shoulder.

"FOURARMS!" He shouted as he smashed the ground.

Ben had rushed forward with yelling a battle cry as hazama only smirked and drew two oddly shaped daggers.

(Ben's P.o.v)

There was no point in thinking anymore… all I wanted to do was beat that bastard into a pulp. He took everything away from me. And the only explanation he had was because this was suppose to be a part of something he called the continuum shift. But I really didn't want to hear what he had to say. I wanted him dead, he had to be dead. It was all I could think about.

He took my friends and family down one by one. But what was worse….gwen had to sacrifice herself, just to save me… that dweb, why did she have to do such a thing…

"TERRA SMASH!" ben shouted as he jumped then slammed all four hands to the ground causing a small earthquake to erupt. But the man in the suit avoided it easily as he backflipped once before landing.

"I see.. so you still got a little fight left in you, this might actually be fun." Hazma smirked as he quickly dashed heading for ben. But before he could even through a punch the man was already in front of him.

"Too slow…" hazama quickly cut fourarms across the chest then uppercut him into the air.

"Uh uh uh, where do you think your going?!" the man had threw his one of his daggers at ben that had quickly formed a dark green and black chain that wrapped around two of fourarms's arms and quickly pulled him down to earth.

"COME ON! WHERE"S THAT HERO SPIRIT YOU HAD JUST A SECOND AGO! GET UP AND FIGHT!" Hazama chuckled as he quickly dragged fourarms across the ground bringing up pieces of earth as he was dragged along.

He had finished as he had lifted him up again and then released him into the air. This is it for you kid. Hazama spoke as a strange emblem had appeared behind him. ( not quite sure how to describe his astral heat emblem.)

"A THOUSAND SOULS!" hazama roared as a million chains had shot up and restrained fourarms legs and arms. He couldn't speak or breath. All he could feel was never ending pain as he saw a giant green snake about to devour him.

"Does it hurt, DOES IT HURT?!" hazama mocked as the snake had completely devoured fourarms. All he could do was let out a scream.

"Astral finish"

"You should have just stayed home like a good boy" hazama turned around and tilted his fedora downward.

Hazama win!

"Oh how the mighty have fallen. I guess all that rage was all for naught eh?" The man chuckled as he stomped on fourarms chest causing him to scream in pain.

Usually a foot to the chest wouldn't hurt a tetraman, but given his current condition it was possible. It wasn't long before the omnitrix beeped again and ben Tennyson had once again appeared.

"What….the heck omnitrix…..?" Ben strained as he struggled to look at the watch.

"My how unfortunate. I'm sure it wasn't 10 minutes that fast. Then again they do say time fly's when your having fun." The man had took his shoe off the boy and turned back to kai.

"Well, It seems like he's done fighting. , would you be so kind as to take out the trash?" Hazama asked politely as kai simply nodded and floated over to the crater where ben laid.

By this time ben's vision started to become blurry. He could barley keep his eyes open due to the damage he had accumulated.

K…Kai…. Why are you…..doing this…." Ben wheezed as blood began to fall from his mouth. But she didn't respond. She had just picked the boy up by his shirt collar and carried him over what seemed to be a caldron of some sort. When ben caught a glimpse of the strange object, there was no sign of a bottom.

"Well hero, sorry to say it's curtains for you. but hey, don't worry about that vilgax guy, he'll be experiencing the same fate soon enough. Any last words before you make your descent?" Hazama smiled as ben managed to keep one eye open.

"Tch…. I failed….. I'm no hero…. I couldn't save anyone…. I let everything fall apart… but remember this….. ben began as he was breathing heavily as he already felt himself about to pass out.

"A hero…..doesn't die after something as stupid as this…. I'll be back…. and the next time I see you…. you'll pay for what you've done…." Ben declared as hazama only chuckled at the boy's words.

"Well I don't see how your going to do that givin your position, but hey, whatever floats your boat." Hazama had grinned as he held a thumbs down out signaling to drop him.

Kai had only nodded as she turned her attention back at ben.

"Your not needed anymore here mr. Tennyson. You've fuffiled your role, and now your of no use. Goodbye hero…" Kai spoke as she released her grip on ben sending him to plummet into the endless abyss of the cauldron.

"So….this is it huh? This is what it feels like…. To be doomed?"

"I was scared, I…couldn't move my body, all I could see were the endless colors that flowed around me…all I could hear were the voices of sorrow that filled the silent abyss.

I guess I wasn't the only one who had died this way. as I looked down at my feet, I noticed that they soon started fading away… my whole body was fading, into the endless colors that filled my grave."

As I continued to disappear I began to think… is this really what being a hero meant? Watching your loved ones slaughtered right in front of you? having your home taken away and not having the power to stop it? I never felt so helpless, the first time ever I was able to openly admit I was scared, was when I saw gwen die right in front of me.

"I didn't know what to do, there was so much rage and confusion spiraling around in my head, I thought if I just stood up and fight, I might have been able to stop him. but I couldn't… I was too naïve….if only I had listened….

(Chuckle)

I wonder, what if I didn't find the omnitrix, would I have been able to keep gwen, would any of this ever happened, maybe being a hero, isin't all is cracked up to be.

At least… I'll be able to see my cousin again….in the next life…"

As I closed my eyes, already half of my body had faded away. It wasn't long now, wasn't long before I would vanish into the merciful light. I only wished that I could have fixed my mistakes, before they even happened…."

"But for some reason I wasn't granted the embrace of death, instead, everything seemed to just….stop. like whenever I go alien everything would stop around me for a short time. but I didn't remember activating the omnitrix. It was then that I heard the voice of a little girl calling out to me…..well, more like lecturing…."

"Foolish boy, are you so afraid that you are ready to give up this easily? Honestly I don't even see why they suggested I waste my time on a pitiful soul like yours." The girl spoke in a rather harsh tone.

"Who….who's there? And why are you speaking to me?" I struggled to speak as I tried to locate the source of the voice. But all I saw was the endless light blinding my vision.

"I am not quite sure myself. But apparently you are still deemed useful. So I'm afraid I can't allow you to die without my permission." The girl replied smugly.

"Who the hell do you think you are?! What do you mean I'm not allowed to die? And who are you to say so anyway?!" I spat back angry at whoever the voice was.

I only met the voice and I could already know she would annoy the heck out of other people.

"You don't need to know that right now. as I said before you aren't allowed to die yet. There's still a role for you to play. And until that role is fulfilled you will not be allowed to die. Do I make myself clear?" the voice spat back.

"I don't have any idea what your talking about, but if it gives me a chance to kick that bastard's ass then I'll take it."

"I see, then it seems as though he's disrupted your world as well." The voice whispered. I wasn't able to hear that part, but I guess it was just recalling a bad memory or something.

"Anyway, before you are able to return to the living, I must leave you in the hands of The doctor. Do behave yourself for she tends to anger quickly."

"Wait what? a doctor? Now?! but I hate doctors! And how is she suppose to help me?!" this time the voice wouldn't respond..

"HEY! I'm talking to you! why do I have to go to a doctor?! She doesn't have any needles does she?!" but before I could continue talking to thin air, everything became dark. There was no sign of light anywhere.

"ah man….what's going on now?"

I didn't know what was going on….until my face met with a hard metal floor…."

HELP ME! PROFESSOR…KOKONOE?" A Chibi Omake Segment

Starring: Professor Kokonoe, and ben Tennyson.

A red curtain lifted, revealing something of a dark unlit lab…Said lab being somewhat messy. Then a spotlight sparked to life, revealing a fairly young adult catgirl with a slim body, wearing a large scientist like jacket with abnormally long sleeves that end up looking like paws, with cuts made in them allowing her slender arms to slip through, red pants with two long pink tails with white tips coming from the back, and high-heeled sandals. Her hair was pink, tied in a style consisting of a long ponytail backing up longer tufts resembling large cat ears which tend to overshadow her actual cat ears. Her eyes were a golden-amber with visible bags under them, possibly due to over-working, and she was also wearing glasses. This was none other than Professor Kokonoe of Sector Seven, daughter of two of the Legendary Heroes who did battle with the Black Beast. With a certain elegancy, she began to speak.

"Hello lost children. I am Professor Kokonoe, lord and master of the Sector Seven laboratory," She paused to push her glasses back into place briefly, and then began to speak again, "…Well, OK, we aren't in the lab at the moment. This place can sort of be temporarily moved into the Boundary. Well, simply put, it's a mysterious room. A mysterious room where you can do anything you want. To be honest, it's a paradise for all those sad, little children who couldn't make it to the true ending. A sort of Avalon.

She proceeded to sigh.

"Also for those who have actually took time to read this before, the author apparently thought his previous version of the story was a load of crap and decided to remake everything. Honestly I don't see what the guy is getting so worked up about, all he had to do was fix a few spelling errors and change up the reactions a bit, I swear some people stress too much about the small stuff.

Kokonoe proceeded to sigh once more. It was rather repetitive for her at that point. She began to speak yet again to you, the reader.

"Very well. Now that that's out of the way, lost children of the day…you may enter," She ordered, and suddenly the whole lab lit up and Kokonoe took a few steps back.

As if on cue, the sound of a metal door sliding open echoed in the area.

Ben had entered. He still had his torn favorite lucky t shirt and pants, but he had seemed to have donned a large green coat with black edges.

"Huh?...where…. am i…" wasn't I just falling?" Ben asked himself confused about what was going on.

"Oh, we have another kid here. Guess carl isin't the only kid that failed to make it to the true ending…" Kokonoe sighed as ben stared confused.

"True…ending….? what are you talking about cat lady…?" Ben asked impatiently.

"hey kid, first of all it's not cat lady, it's Professer kokonoe! Got it?" Kokonoe snarled at him making him a bit nervous.

"Um…got it… so what is this place anyway?" ben asked making a tick mark appear over the cat-like professor's head.

"Are you seriously going to make me explain this again? Ugh! Boundary! Avalon! Lost Souls! Flowchart! Piss off!" Kokonoe growled.

"Hey, there's no need to get feisty here, I couldn't hear most of that stuff because of the door, don't bite my head off!" Ben argued back.

"Seriously? I told tager to thin that door, someone's receiving punishment later…" kokonoe let out an evil growl as she grew a devious smirk across her face.

"…" ben stood there not sure what was suppose to be going on.

"Anyway, back to you. the reason you're here is because you died." Kokonoe stated simply as ben jumped in shock.

"W-what? I died?! But that's impossible, I don't remember…..oh, right…" ben grew depressed as he quickly recalled the events that happened before he was sent here.

"Oh so you do remember. I thought I was going to have to say something like, His memory's shot! How unfortunate! And such an aspiring young soul too." Kokonoe mocked as ben only glared at the professer.

"So, I died. That's pretty simple, but why was I sent here?"

"Well, your suppose to listen to me. I'm here to give you special advice that 'll help you from making the same mistakes you've done before.

"Advice? Seriously? And just how is that suppose to help me?" ben folded his arms not really believing what kokonoe had to say.

"Well, you can choose to listen or not, but if you don't you 'll be stuck here forever." Kokonoe smiled only sending a chill up ben's spine.

"On second thought, maybe you shouldn't listen to my advice, I could always use someone to help me with my experiments around here, and my older test subjects didn't quite…work out…"

Ben had turned completely paled as he was too afraid to even think what kokonoe mean by that. he thought that getting advice would be a more pleasant decision.

"Uh….on second thought I think I'd rather get that advice if you don't mind." ben chuckled nervously as an anime sweatdrop appeared on his head.

"Suit yourself. well, according to this it says you died because you relied too much on that omnitrix of yours.

"Relied too much? You mean the watch?" Ben questioned as he showed his omnitrix.

"If you'd call it that then yes. Not only that but because you made so many stupid deciscions that it screwed your fate before you even got up to the point where you would die. You gotta stop thinking like a kid sometimes and actually think about the situation ahead of time.

"Tch…, well if I didn't use the omnitrix then what? it's not like I had a big freakin sword to use. The watch was the only thing I had to fight with and so I did.

"Well it says here that you used some kind of other power when you had an earlier encounter with an enemy.

"Another power…?" "…" ben had shuddered as he thought back to that power.

"No…never again…. to many lives were in danger. I almost when insase, no I'm not using that again!"

"Well I guess we discovered another one of your problems." Kokonoe stated as she pulled a bag of chips out of nowhere and started eating.

"What are you talking about?" ben questioned.

"Your afraid of going insane aren't you?"

"…"

"I thought so. listen kid if you may be a hero but if you can't learn to go beserk when something really bad happens then your no better then just a foot soldier.

"The price was too high then, I can't just accept insanity, that's stupid." Ben argued.

"Oh, and I suppose even going berserk for your loved ones is stupid?"

"…" ben had fell silent again.

"Look, rage is unpredictable and unsafe, I'll give you that. however if you don't show any kind of rage then you won't be able to have what it takes to protect anyone. If you want to stop yourself from dyeing next time your going to have to learn how to take control of your rage."

"Well… I guess it can't be any worse then going through the same thing twice. Fine." Ben sighed as he had to accept what he had to do.

"By the way, that watch of yours looks pretty interesting, how do you work that thing anyway?" kokonoe asked as she began fiddling with the omnitrix until the dial had sprang up again.

"H..hey careful with that, this thing isn't a cat toy ya know. If you keep doing that it'll…." But ben was cut off as kokonoe pressed the dial down causing ben to transform again.

When the light had dimmed down, it had showed that he had changed into grey matter.

"Oh great, it just had to be on grey matter." The galvan sighed as he slapped his forehead.

"Wow, is there really any use for such a small alien?"

"Well despite the miniature size of this transformation, this guy has a lot of brain power. Galvans were experts on creating advanced tech on their home planet. But I don't think I have time for an explanation for that right now." soon the omnitrix had beeped red again and ben had once again reverted back to his original form.

"The omnitrix is still timing out to fast, what's going on? Ah well, I'll worry about it later..may I leave now?"

"Yep, I already gave you the advice so you can get out now." Kokonoe spoke as she pointed towards the door.

The door had slid open as ben had began walking out. But before he left kokonoe had stopped him again.

"Hey ben, before you go… do you mind if I ask a favor?" she asked politely.

"A favor? I guess… what is it?" ben turned around as kokonoe put on a pleading face.

"Well since your going to be practicing not relying on that omnitrix too much anyway, how about you just leave it here? You know so I can run some tests on it?"

"Sorry, but this thing doesn't really come off that easily. And even if I could get it off I'm afraid I couldn't just lend it to you. azimuth would kill me if I just gave someone the omnitrix. Anyways I better get going, bye. Ben said as he was about to leave before kokonoe stopped him again.

"oh one more thing.." Kokonoe began as ben turned around.

"What now?" ben asked slightly annoyed.

"You become quite a ladies man where your going. Have fun ben-kun." Kokonoe teased making ben blush slightly before he had quickly ran out of the door.

"Rats… I was really hoping to get a better look at that omnitrix, that thing is too good of something to pass up. Maybe I'll get tager to go out on a run sometime later, which reminds me… " Kokonoe began as she began to walk off screen.

"Tager?! I thought I told you to thin the doors down last time! what happened?!

"Um uh sorry professor I must have been distracted by the video of magnets I purchased…

"Video of…. You didn't use my candy money to pay for that video did you?!" kokonoe growled.

"…" Tager couldn't say anything.

"Tager…come here for a minute…" kokonoe said calmfluly.

"Uh… no thanks… I'd rather stay over here…" Tager spoke nervously.

"Tager…" Kokonoe growled with her temper slowly rising.

"n-now professor, calm down! O…OH NO!"

"Well, it seems as though tager is in a bit of a pickle there. Let's hope kokonoe doesn't reprogram him too harshly.

'With that aside, this is the end of the first remade chapter. Sorry if some of you are confused and apologize if the first work was a bit hard to read. Please leave a review. If you want that is.

Make sure to leave a review with either questions or comments. And no flames please. If you have any questions for kokonoe, tager, or any of the blazeblue, ben1o or the sonic the hedgehog cast and I may have one character guest star in one of the segments to answer your question. Also I'll start adding additional information in some later chapter. But that depends if I continue with this thing. Anyway see you guys later.
