I've caved. You'll understand tomorrow. Hopefully me and Bookworm will have the next chapter of Fandom Hunger Games! out next Wednesday. Just to be clear I LOVE Danny Ben and Gwen. They are AWESOME but them having a few loose screws is necessary for the story. Another thing, I have only watched the first 13 episodes of Generator Rex, I know next to nothing about it, so I'm sorry if I say something that contradicts something stated later in the show, I'll do my best to avoid it but I make no promises. I know I'd be pissed if someone did that to Danny Phantom or Ben 10 so I'll understand if you yell at me little if I effed something up, just don't go overboard please. Enough babble and apologies for things yet to come, let's get on with the story! This doesn't really take place at any particular point in the timeline, so put it wherever you want.
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, Ben 10, or Generator Rex
"Danny, this isn't working! Someone tampered with the nanobots." Gwen said darkly, her eyes glowing a threatening purple.
"Oh, Clockwork damn it! Can you tell who?" He said angrily, and Gwen shook her head.
"They infected them with a virus that will make them malfunction. They'll lay dormant for the most part, but they'll activate randomly and uncontrollably. Only one person got them before the virus, and only those with very strong minds will have any hope of using them or controlling them." Ben said, the pattern on his joints glowing in the darkened room, black and orange/green eyes flicking over to the control panel.
"Who? Who got them in time?" Danny asked, his blue eyes glowing with cold anger, and Ben matched his glare. Danny deflated and breathed deeply, gesturing gently for Ben to continue.
Ben smirked and said "A boy, around 9 years old, name of Rex Salazar, he was badly injured and his parents gave him some nanobots, they call them nanites, to try and save him, it worked. They're about to set off the nanites and we don't have time to cure the virus, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing, we'll stay back and watch for now. This could be even better, a chance to completely remake the human race!" Danny said gleefully, and all three began to laugh wildly. A flash of purple and gold light lit up the room, and two people were revealed for a second, standing in the corner. Just enough to make out blue eyes, a small stature, and blonde hair on one, and black hair, green eyes, and a tall, thin build on the other, also laughing. The flash receded and the room, and people in it, were gone.

"What is going on here? You tell me to get down town 'cause there's an emergency and when I get there nothings happening!" Rex yelled, and Agent Six responded "There was a huge energy spike here 5 minutes ago, not an Evo, but we want you here just in case." Rex glared at him and grudgingly looked at the spot the officers had their guns trained on.
"There's nothing there, I bet it was just a gli—" Rex began, only to be cut off when a small explosion occurred. When the dust cleared there were three people standing there, who looked to be between the ages of 12 and 17. A girl with bobbed bright orange hair, emerald green eyes and pale skin, wearing a long sleeved blue shirt and white leggings and trainers. She seemed to be on the lower end of the age spectrum, but radiated a feeling of wisdom and power. The boy on her left had unruly brown hair that was about 5 inches long, pale skin with strange, black patches on his wrists, neck, fingers, sides of his jaw, and maybe other joints, that had green circuit patterns on them. His eyes were completely black, except for an hourglass shape in the center (Think the face of the Omnitrix.) that was a strange mix of acid green and fiery orange. He was wearing a white t-shirt and black undershirt, with muted green cargo pants and black trainers. He seemed around the same age as the girl, but left Rex feeling oddly disturbed, as though his brain was rejecting the very idea of the boy existing. The boy on the other side of the girl had short black hair with bangs that fell over his icy blue eyes, pale blue/green skin, and was wearing a red t-shirt, blue jeans and white trainers. He seemed much older than the other too, and gave off a sense of pure wrongness, much more intense than the other boy, and power, just as much as the girl.
"Who are you?" Rex asked, stepping forward and getting ready to fight. Something felt off about these guys, and he didn't like it.
"At ease, we do not mean you harm." The girl said, smiling and stepping forward.
"Yeah, 'we come in peace'" The brown haired boy said, a mocking tone in his voice as he snickered at a joke only those three seemed privy to.
"As my companions have said in their own… personal ways, we're not here to fight, you can chill." The black haired boy said, showing fangs in place of upper and lower canine teeth, placing emphasis on the last word, and getting glares from the others as he snickered. "What?" He said innocently "You're allowed to use your ways to make jokes of greetings, but I can't throw in a pun?" The girl rolled her eyes and groaned.
"What do you want." Agent Six said calmly, gesturing for the officers to lower their weapons but remain on alert.
"We simply want to have a chat with… with the boy in the orange jacket, Rex, is it?" The brown haired boy said, and the girl continued "We're interested in asking him to join our group, he would fit in quite nicely."
"Why do you want me to join you? And again, who are you?" Rex said, startled and still on edge.
"We do not reveal our names to others outside of our group, but we shall tell you our titles." The girl said, and the brown haired boy jabbed her ribs, rather hard, with his elbow and whispered something in her ear. She sighed and pouted but nodded at whatever he had said. Her face then lit up and she whispered something in his ear. He glared at her but nodded as well.
Rex and Six were looking at them confusedly, and the black haired boy just rolled his eyes.
"My name, as far as you are concerned, is The Hybrid." He said, straitening ever so slightly and raising his chin.
"I'm Charmcaster." The girl said, a wicked smile flitting across her face. The brown haired boy also grinned at this, and the newly known 'Hybrid' smirked.
"If it weren't for these guys I wouldn't even remember my name I've got so many. I'm The Omnimatrix." The brown haired boy said, reaching his hand out to Agent Six.
"I am Agent Six, and you already seem to know Rex." The green suited man said, grabbing Omnimatrix's hand and shaking it.
"Yeah, we've been watching you since you were 9 years old."
Omnimatrix said, and Hybrid continued "We know a lot about you Rex, probably more than you do."
"Really? Wait, why since I was 9?" Rex asked, Charmcaster grinned creepily.
"You're special Rex, you're the only person who can do what everyone on this earth is supposed to be able to." She said, and all three stepped forward.
"What do you mean? Everyone on earth?" Rex asked, extremely confused, and somewhat alarmed. Then it hit him. "You're the ones who set the nanites lose! You're the reason everyone on earth is the way they are!" Omnimatrix flinched and Hybrid stepped forward to clarify.
"No, we are not. You humans came up with the idea for the Nanites, and you set them lose. You couldn't get the technology to work, so… we gave it a boost. That boost happened to include giving humans certain abilities, unique to their DNA. Someone made them malfunction."
"We're dead serious Rex, you're special like us, special in a way not a lot of people understand." Charmcaster said, and Omnimatrix shuddered. Hybrid drew in a shaky breath, and Charmcaster clenched her jaw.
"We aren't monsters." They said in unison, and Omnimatrix said "We've been given… powers, look, why don't you call off your mini army and we can have a chat. We'll explain everything, and Rex can decide if he wants to come with us."
"No way! We know nothing about you, and you come strolling in here and expect us trust you like that!" Rex yelled, snapping his fingers at the end.
"Fine, we'll do this instead." Charmcaster said, rolling her eyes and murmuring something under her breath as she held her hand out. A dome of purple energy suddenly surrounded her, Omnimatrix, Hybrid, Rex and Agent Six.
"Relax, all this'll do is block out sound, no-one else can know this, you're lucky we're letting you." Hybrid said, looking pointedly at Agent Six. "I wouldn't advise threatening us though, you'll find bullets don't do much to us." He added as an afterthought.
Rex and Agent Six shared a glance. What did we get ourselves into?
Not my best work, in fact it kinda sucks, but I wanted to do something like this. I got the idea of Ben being the Omnimatrix from Promsien, who does AMAZING Danny Phantom and Ben 10 art, go check them out. All the other things I came up with myself.
The reason Gwen has 'borrowed' Charmcaster's name is because I couldn't think of anything else. Sorry?
